So, there's some things dizzle is doing on the "side", I don't know how many of you know this, but I'm an engineer, I work in the valve industry, but when I'm not at work, I usuallyu am working on random things on the side with a business I started.
I do anything from building websites, either in templetes, or dreamweaver, depending on what the client wants, to 3d printing models for prototyping (yes I have a 3d printer in my living room, the GF doesn't love this but whatever), to wirintg valve sizing software, and creating digital models in solidworks and runnign stress/flow analysis on them.
ANYWAY, on to the issue at hand. I've been contracted to write a website promoting a book that a client wrote and got published. The website is VERY VERY basic, and he does not want a "real" website made, he just wants a few lines of text, a picture and a link to the book on amazon. This absolutely destroys my chances at proper search engine optimization, so I'm thinking of runnig some type of "grey area" shit like faking reviews on amazon to promote the product. Or maybe some gaming the google search system (SOMEFUCKINGHOW) to increase search rankings for certain keywords.
Does anyone have any experience in this? Or possibly can assist? If I can work something out with the client, a way of tracking traffic from the work done, I may be able to negotiate some type of commission.
Thoughts? Anyone who has any experience in this area want to go in on something like this?
