People steal ideas all the time, I often wonder if I took the idea and made it better would it be as big a hit, well the problem is the superstars are branded and it's allways tough to mimick succes, I read GarryConn daily and he does alot of work with and for me, I would love to copy his site and tactics but that would be wrong, he built it from scratch and it is his, I do take some of ideas but never will I be GaryVonn.com

But of course, was any of this real? Did Andy just make this all up? How can anyone other than those involved ever know?

Thanks for making my brain hurt.

Hello Andy, Alex, And Craig...

Interesting stuff happening...

I'm not sure, but maybe his name is Alex :P

That wouldn't be stealing. Thought that was not the case and it was clearly made for increasing rankings, it's still funny that he could have had that name.

Like I think it's even evil to maybe create a similar domain name, based upon this argument... Dunno.

I think it's bad to use "Alex Goad" or "Craig Beckta", but using "Alex" is fine since you do not know his real name...

Just my 2 cents.

Andy

Thanks for showing the correct way and the wrong way of riding successful coat tails of others. This was a well written display of both.

As a Player with Money member I communicate periodically with both Alex Goad and Craig Beckta and have respect for both gentlemen.

There is a tremendous style to this post displayed that ties in great information: SEO linking strategy, common internet problem of identity mis-representation (theft), tough love, respect for others, great avice and affiliate links.

I'll have to frequent your site more often.

Cheers!

After a\reading all the post, i was not expecting Alex/Craig but am amazed to see their comments again here in this post. Andy you have a tight eye on comments which is a difficult task itself. Truly, on my own blogs, I don't check comments in that way until comment would have a lot of links inside.

Andy,

This is an awesome way to get genuine SEO attention to your own blog. You now have great page one rankings for both real authors.

Good stuff!

No worries

The winners are the ones who push the boundaries, but at the same time you need to be careful of which boundaries you push... and where.

The best way to grab juice from my blog is to have a personal blog which you use for links from comments, and then from there you always have the option to use a sacrificial linking structure to channel juice where you want it to go.

Andy, you are right.

It was me and I apologize deeply for it too. At first I did not think it would do any harm, but, you opened my eyes here a bit.

It put me into deep shame..

It is unethical and not asked for. I apologize to both gentleman but want to make clear it was to gain SERPs and not to be taking their identity.

Caught by the nuts so to speak.

I realize this is not done and, will refrain from such practise.

It's a strange day in IM when people start spamming your name...

It's the manifestation of online anonimity and ruthlessness that is still the mark of the net. Many don't stop to think. People become keywords, subscribers and sales numbers and collateral dammage is rarely factored into the equation.

Onward.
