<p>My most popular post currently, in terms of per-day page hits, is my old exposé on Vector Marketing:</p>
<h2><a href="http://clantilyscad.com/2010/07/13/the-cult-of-cutco-how-vector-marketing-mass-hires-students-into-dubious-contract-labor/">The Cult of Cutco: How Vector Marketing Mass-Hires Students into Dubious Contract Labor</a></h2>
<p>Vector Marketing caught on and, realizing they could lose a bunch of money on a Google Search, bought a bunch of shitty domain names to bump down all the talk about how everyone hates Vector Marketing.</p>
<p>They even bought vectormarketingscam.com with links to&#8230; personal testimonies! *gasp* Read a real story by a real 18-year-old kid!</p>
<p>I understand SEO, Vector Marketing, I see it.</p>
<p>Anyway, if you are a pissed off former Vector employee, go the original <a href="http://clantilyscad.com/2010/07/13/the-cult-of-cutco-how-vector-marketing-mass-hires-students-into-dubious-contract-labor/">Cult of Cutco article</a> and share it. If you want to blog about Vector also and link me, please copy paste the entire post title or use the phrase <strong>&#8220;Vector Marketing Scam,&#8221;</strong> because I think those are the two easiest way to help bump my Google rankings back up.</p>
<p>There are easy share buttons at the bottom of the article too. I think the one that gets the most exposure these days is Reddit.</p>
<p>So, thanks, guys. Rock on spreading the information.</p>
