Heretical Marketing Posters Part IPOSTED ON July 12th, 2007 BY cygnus |
Welcome to Digital Heretix, the brainchild blog brought to you by a group of irreverent online marketers and the letter C… which is also for cookie. To kick things off, we wanted to look at a couple of terms from the online marketer’s lexicon of uselessness and show in poster format what those terms really mean. This post in particular with deal with the first five of these terms:
What is white hat?
A white hat will tell you that everything must be done by the book, that rules were meant to be followed, that content is king…and as you may have guessed, they areeither poor liars or simply poor.
* If you’re a search engine employee reading this blog, we’re so white hat that um…we tell people not to link to us and if they have to link to us to nofollow tags it because it might mess up the pretty SERPs. We’re so white that we glow in the dark; it’s either that or we haven’t seen the sun in a decade.
What is black hat?
For a good time, chat up a black hat. These guys know how to get rankings, albeit for only about 10 minutes. Technically, black hat means operating outside of the prevailing business logic by gently exploiting logical flaws, but for some reason it has taken on the meaning over the years of mass-produced junk content that is banned nearly as fast as it is created, all whilst wearing dark colored clothing and talking about taking on the man.
What is social media?
Enjoy puppet shows? Visit a social media site. The most entertaining aspect of supposed democracies is the lack of equal representation. Oh, and the encryption key is {censored}
What is link-building?
Enjoy being an attention whore? Like telling people the virtues of linking to your 90 character multi-hyphenated domain name, which is relevant to everyone from stamp collectors to forex and pharma?
What is affiliate marketing?
Speaking of whores…psst, wanna buy a watch? Have I got a deal for you!

Love your posters! You should sell them. Yes, they’re that good

This is fantastic all you need is one for banner advertising online highlighting that banner advertising costs a fortune and delivers little above brand knowledge - always seems to be a marketers way out for a campaign that delivers little profit and should be called a failure

Awesome posters!
Now we need one for banner buys with this quote:
“Banner buys not performing?
Call it branding!”

This has to have the highest production values out of any online marketing blog I’ve ever seen… and it’s sooooo hilarious.

Awesome. Simply, awesome. This is the first example of motivational posters that makes me want to take a jab at it.

Great compilation of really funny posters! My favourite ones are the white and black hats and affiliate marketing. Lol lol lol! The two hats together make a nice pair: one mustn’t go into any extreme, but make a ton of websites any way in between, eventually a couple of on both sides of the spectrum.
