White Hat? Black Hat? How ‘Bout Chaotic Neutral

Lawful Evil

Are you tired of there just being three SEO hats and having to choose white, black or grey? (Although there was a big brua-haha earlier this year about Blue Hats or Green Hats or something…)

Well, here at Webmaster Chronic, since I’m boss (as in leader not the 80s boss) I’m going to do away with Black Hat and White Hat and Grey Hat and even Green Hat and Blue Hat SEO. To maybe make it a little fun, I’m doing to start mark all my posts here with D&D alignments.

That’s right. Billy Gates might be Lawful Evil? This would at least give us a slightly broader way to look at where people are coming from ethically when building their empire online.

SEO Alignments?

Who knows – I may quickly trash the idea. We’ll see. In the meantime, what alignment are you when it comes to making monies online?

Disclosure in Reviews at Walmart

I’m not sure how long they’ve been doing this (I’m not a heavy Walmart shopper), but while there today I noticed that one of the reviews had a badge letting me know the reviewer was a Walmart employee. (Or associate or whatever they call them. Almost like a cult, huh? Another post entirely there…)

Anyway, does anyone know how long they’ve been disclosing this information? Does any other large retail operation do the same? Amazon’s review system is getting kinda antiquated even though it was top-notch at one time. There are many, many one star reviews for products there that were given because of problems with 3rd party sellers or something else entirely unrelated to the product being reviewed.

While we’re on the subject, what’s your favorite review site for products/shopping? Leave your answer below.
