I fail to see what one has to do with the other.

Squeeze pages versus Craigslist ?
You are talking apples and oranges.

Btw..
The software is NOT about scraping Craiglist!

The software is about finding leads in general over multiple lead sources and if you look at the software in its entirety, Craiglist is just a small part.

Matter of fact, the software also gets physical addresses, telephone numbers, contact information, etc..

I find it ironic that someone who sells a software that scrapes community sites like Craigslists for peoples e-mail addresses is saying that squeeze pages are unappealing to readers… yes, and spamming random peoples e-mail addresses who you harvested off a community site is?

With the new reality of Adwords I can’t think of anyhting else but that old phrase:

The King is dead… long live the King

Now we should say:

PPC is dead… long live SEO

Guys, eventhough I do not appreciate the way Duncan wrote his article, I must say he is right about Adwords not liking webstes that lead to squeeze pages, landing pages or any sort of page with an opt-in.

I am a real victim of their procedure. My quality went from 10/10 to 1/10 form one day to the other.

Now let see some intersting things about PPC. 1. People are not clicking that much on paid announcements 2. Keyword rates have gone to the sky 3. Adwords is leaving small to none space for people wanting to make a living out of e-marketing

Bottomline, PPC has changed and it is not attractive now.

Thank you. Correct!
The point of this article was using Google Adwords # 1 and then Search Engine Rankings.

Sure, use squeeze pages to email lists, or after you have already educated them on an article or blog site

“Slap” is only a marketing term I used. Yes, you are correct, they don’t want thin affiliates, nor duplicate sites .

Lead Generation can be also achieved with call to actions, and other on page technology.

You keep saying that google says it will SLAP you for squeeze pages..

where exactly does it say that?

I think Google is against “thin” affiliates. If you read their guidelines they seem to be very clear on that. So if you as the searcher are searching for Tae-bo for example, they don’t want the searcher to see the Tae-Bo site and then 6 clones of it because they will essentially appear the same to the searcher and that’s a bad search experience and next time they might not come back to Google.

Lead generation is definitely one of the goals of landing pages that Google describes….

Interesting discussion, but page indexing is never the goal of a landing page anyway …
