I newsjacked newsjacking!

More proof that David Meerman Scott’s newsjacking approach works just fine: my moral quandry over newsjacking has been the #3 & #11 Google result for “newsjacking” for 2 days. Feels a little keyword-stuffy, but the unintended effect is that I brought the ethical question up to the top of search, hopefully giving marketers pause to make sure they’re not being evil. ;)

Newsjacking newsjacking.

I’m sure there’s another name for this tactic already (like “writing blog posts”), but it’d be a good way for brands to bury negative content about themselves on Google.

Ooh, I wonder if I have Klout in “newsjacking” now‽
