Okay, pipe down you swabbies, lemme tell you the real deal about JoJoJo...

I've been around the web and one of the first guys doing toon stuff online and one of the rare few still functioning. I only do this part-part time but even then I make more dough than most.

I try to go overboard to please a client and it's rare I'll take on clients nowadays because many people don't know how to communicate. If I endorse someone's products and/or services you can bet it's because they've done a job worthy of praise.

JoJoJo offered up a deal and I took it. I have to say I've been having more fun! It's a comic story unto itself. Funniest part is when I had to pay him I wired it via Western Union and the woman on the phone barely spoke English and had a 'tude and instead of sending the dough to Canada sent it to Colorado instead. That's after I spelled the name and the city in Canada to send it. When I had to call Western Union to correct the problem, Western Union rep let me know in no uncertain terms the woman who fucked up, reallllllly fucked up. I bet she's on a street corner now holding up a sign that says " Will fuck up your phone messages for food."

Anyway, we got the situation straightened out and JoJoJo and I had a ball for HOURS going over the fundamentals of SEO. I really had fun because I had known alot of it from years and years ago and I kept laughing my ass off when JoJoJo kept reminding me of what I was doing wrong and right. Very simple stuff! Yet there were little known goodies that had come up over the years I wasn't aware of and it gave me a better understanding of the procedures.

Just his patience and basic structure was well worth the dough. I could have spent another $500 on more Disney Big Figs ( big ass statues of Mickey, Snow White, Donald Duck etc. that ROCK ASS) but I said, 'Na, just pay the man and get some knowledge'.

So with JoJoJo, it was a fun two-three day chat with a nice guy who has gone wayyyy overboard to provide service. It's no magic bullet and he'll tell you that along the line. It takes work and planning and more work. Lazy don't cut it so don't expect magic fairies to fly out of your butt overnight. Sometimes they do! Many a time by sheer dumb luck I've done something to my site and it shot up in the SE's. I was in top ten in Yahoo for many years then things went pay and I dropped but my stats increased anyway. They do so by default. That's also part of JoJoJo's course. You have to get down to bare knuckles and bare math. Plus there's always that 'luck of the draw'. I had had health problems for years out here in Los Angeles and it was fucking up my production. Three years of this shit and no doctor could figure it out. It took some Hawaiian Punch to do the job instead. Showed me you have to do the work yourself, study, and get that dumb luck fairy to show up.

Any service has two parts. The service and results. So far the service is way above board. JoJoJo really went out of his way. I'm hoping he continues as I fine tune things and go over the course notes. He's even dropped in via ICQ to see how things are going. It's still too early to tell if there will be trumpeting success but I always get trumpeting success when I put my ass in gear and follow sound advice. So time will tell as I clean up my sites and redesign etc.

Bottom line is service and results. I learned that from CA Dave years ago. He was one of the few who actually listened to us webmasters. He and the CA crew go overboard to do the best job. Remember how Legendary Lars used to hook people up with Andy Dunn from SexSwap? Every week a new goodie! That kind of service. Many of you guys on this board have been around a long time too and remember the old days when people shared info and hooked each other up big time. Sometimes it's a hook-up, sometimes you pay. Bottom line is service. So far, JoJoJo proved the service part big time.
