Ex-BetFair Mark Davies’s website has been assigned a PageRank of zero by Google. Why? – [QUESTION]

Does anybody know why? What did he do that was so wrong in the eyes of Google?

Rice University study finds Groupon is more beneficial for consumers than businesses.

GroupOn compel sellers to lower their prices to the minimum, and, adding insult to injury, they take half of the generated revenue. As a result, this machinery attracts opportunists who will never come back to the shop for the normal price. It is not a machinery that creates a long-term bonding between the shop and its customers. Makes no sense. Stay away from their website (unless you’re an opportunist) and the Second Market stocks.

Plus, it does not scale. It will end up with more people on payroll than Google and FaceBook united. It will be a turkey at the very start of the next recession.

The contract is designed so that it is almost impossible not to break the Google rules.

Mark Davies leaves BetFair —but the SEO cretins stay.

One month ago, I reported that BetFair silenced their PR chief (Mark Davies) by moving him to regulation affairs and asking him to shut up his voluble gob. Office politics played against him. Too bad.

Well, as Mark Davies can’t live in the dark (away from the limelights), he has resigned, and started off his own company, Camberton —so as to do what BetFair was recently forbidding him to do (PR). I wish him good luck, with 2 caveats.

#1. Mark Davies’s true love is in fact journalism. But it doesn’t pay, unless you do TV prominently. If Mark had bollocks, he would go into journalism.

#2. Mark Davies is a SEO virgin (“Camberton” is of course notably absent from Google), who was taking tips at BetFair from the world’s crappiest SEOs. Mark Davies will have to learn web marketing. (I am not even sure Mark knows what “SEO” stands for.) And there’s the WordPress factor. Mike Robb got it, but Mark never did.

Leaving BetFair is a good thing —provided he can learn in the open what he couldn’t learn while at BetFair: Marketing 2.0.
