I have a few reasons for not linking you in this post: 1) You weren't that good at PPC Summit. Out of the 2 sessions I sat through with you, this was, literally, the only good piece of information I picked up. The rest was hours of you telling people to "test everything" which everyone already knows. 2) I already mentioned I'd be posting tips from PPC Summit in a previous post. 3) You can't copyright ideas, so as much as you think this belongs to you, it doesn't, and people have been using similar tactics for years. Sorry if this bruises your ego, killer. It's good of you to point out that your presentations which people spend over $1000 on for tickets, not to mention what they spend in travel expenses, are comprised of rehashed 6 month old posts from your blog. BTW, drinking 5 red bulls and then running around the room yelling generic crap about creating ads != public speaking. Jason,

Thanks for attending my session at PPC Summit in Boston on March 3rd. How about you rename this article Fake Out Your Readers with content you saw at the PPC Summit? Funny that you forgot to mention to your users where you got this idea? Oh well, at least you were listening. Maybe you'd like to point your users to my full article, 'Operation Camouflage' which was written in in August of 2007 and featured at SearchEngineWatch http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/070814-223815 Here's a link to the full article: http://www.engineready.com/company/operation-camouflage1.html PS I appreciate you making your own screenshot, even if it's identical. What a wonderful blog this is, and how wonderful of you to share all your insights about companies that you think are scams, while you casually rip off conference materials and call them your own. kind regards, Jason Miller engineready.com http://www.ppcsummit.com/day1.html#wtc Hi Nick.

It'll look like a bookmark or type-in n screw up their analytics :) On a similar note, if you do a longtail search and find a competitor, rather than give away your search query by clicking [i.e. give them kw data in the logs], copypaste the url from the serp into the address bar.
