Speaking of bullshit jobs, watch this video from Penn & Teller who call “bullshit” on the “easy money” MLM jobs.

A collection of the best viral videos. Awesome. Thanks to Matt for sharing this.

Yes, you can validate your schema.org code. Just go to this page on Google. It’s not specifically for the schema.org library, but it works. And it validates a bunch of other libraries too. Thanks to Eric Nagel for the tip.

Google loves big brands & big brand websites – even when they break Google’s own guidelines (BMW, 1-800-FLOWERS, JC Penny). If a small business is caught using these same tactics, their website could be erased from Google permanently.
