Personally, I dig fighting chicks. It all started when the infamous Jill Whalen came out slugging with her "We Don't Need No SEO Standards" cat chant. Then, Bruce Clay's own decided to pop a jaw with a solid left hook and an awesome yell: Muahaha!

In fact, they've only got about a billion pages indexed right now. Google has that many pages indexed for some search queries. So you can see, they've got a long way to go. The site is basically all Flash, which means it won't rank in the other search engines and they'll have to rely entirely on viral marketing and word of mouth not Search Engine Optimization.

Bear Stearns are not the only company to suffer from a negative rumor that became viral and they wont be the last. I wont comment on the Bear Stearns strategy itself, that has been done to death already. Rather, I think this serves as a timely reminder to check our CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...
