There is a bog roll present in so many CIG staff photos that it's got to be some kind of in joke. What am I missing here?

There's one in that blue bucket. There was on on the meeting desk in a video I capped. I've seen others too.

The company is just so full of poo poo that they have to keep bog roll close to hand at all times. :)

Or since *someone* managed to completely devastate the Austin offices shitter with their unweildy ballon knot they are afriad of it happening anywhere, at any time and are prepared for it.

I wonder if at some point this year the plan was to have a demo reel of a pioneer flying out from whatever the gently caress shipyards look like in this game and soaring through space, landing in some skyrim sized crater. Setting up an outpost on some distant world that begins, I don't know, probably taking slaves from the native space population. Using female androids. That would have sold them in a flash, the whales would be clawing at each other to get out of the room faster.

And they probably ran it past Chris and he didn't want to "direct" that so they had to make his vision of a boring do nothing city and a a space ship that looks like an ibeam and a chocolate cake had a baby.

I like the idea they're thinking they're sticking it to the warlord with their little sub.

And not that Derek hasn't spent most of his adult life fighting on the internet and trolling for replies from the mentally unwell. They built a loving shrine to him.

:laffo:

I keep telling them that they are their own worst enemy.

And together with CIG, they've created a situation that keeps SEO specialists awake at night. Not that the best VP of marketing since she was a leetle gurl knows wtf she's doing anyway. So there's that.



Someone sent me that image earlier, along with this:

quote:

The Google algorithm has associated you with the knowledge graph and is now generating your profiles in relation to searches for the brand.

Honestly, in the "SEO" sorcery space... that means OWNED and would cause a crisis for brand rep. THAT is why Sandy angers me. Don't call yourself a VP when failing at basics with no formal study or true industry experience: BEHOLD THE IMAGE.

What you've done is every SEO "brand reputation manager's" dream.

The #1 request is: Something negative about me shows up on page 1. Realistically, given way algorithm works and signals it detects, hard for 95% of brands to fix it
too long to explain even though I spam you, and like NDA issues, but many brands are internal messes that prevent corrective action.

The thing is, it is often a link to an article A LINK TO AN ARTICLE. Not an individual showing up with his loving mug shot on page one for a knowledge graph search on google.

Some of the client work I am dealing with now? They would have a heart attack if someone, an individual let's say a product critic with a well researched arsenal of content on his website showed up under their profile in the right hand bar as "also searched for".

Not only your name shows up for also searched for, beautiful google algorithm quirks and flaws picked up your profile pic. This is a neutral, no history, opt out of all ads, doesn't browse view tool I use for keywords to see visibility for terms when not influenced by a logged in gmail account nor cookies from google apps and api bs

SIR YOU ARE SHOWING UP ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR KNOWLEDGE GRAPH FOR BRANDED KEYWORDS.

That would cause a loving crisis.

If Sandi, was a true VP of marketing, she would be all over it... the funny bit is, because "link building" is still a thing, the most "authoritative" alternate source regarding SC is you in the google algorithm's mind currently (sans some manual manipulation internally at Google)

So to fix their search situation, they would literally need to work with you as long as you keep your domain and site active.

New consumers searching for "roberts space industries" or "star citizen" will see your profile unless they take serious corrective action to protect the brand on search. Sandi isn't doing that. A "marketing manager" or director could do what that VP is not.

Yes. And that's why I have always said I don't want the /r/ds hate sub to go away. They are my biggest signal boosters. :grin:

They're actually helping to turn negative attention to the train wreck that is Star Citizen. But somehow, those dumb fucks just don't get that. But these are the guys splurging on JPEGs for a game that doesn't exist. And furthermore.

Also lol at the rumour/objective reality that young or attractive women are prevented from having any presence at CIG due to the owner’s wife’s jealousy

She’s not an old lady yet but she’s totally unable to make a go of acting during her last available time to do so before the ravages of age take her face
