“you’d think skeptics would find better stuff to do. Like, for example, examine the evidence.”

They would have to be at least a little open minded in order to do that, and they would have to read.

Oh well…

First off: stop the bikini girls and I don’t come here anymore. Simple as that.

Second: you’d think skeptics would find better stuff to do. Like, for example, examine the evidence. (And no, it’s not on Finding Bigfoot.)

Boy, this is a great place.

I believe that these guys are jealous of the attention that Loren receives. The Alexa numbers prove it. If they were half as interesting as Loren then they would not need to mindlessly put out comments or articles trying to discredit Mr. Coleman and instead write something that is interesting that others may want to read.

Being an SEO specialist and a blogger I see nothing wrong with having a title that stands out and attracts peoples attention. If you are not doing that then you are not doing your job as a blogger to draw readers in.

As far as keywords are concerned you may get a slight temporary bump in search engine rankings for specific trending keywords but unless you are actively doing real promotion for that specific keyword/phrase by going out and bringing in relevant backlinks with those keywords as anchor text you are not actively promoting it.

I can guarantee anyone searching for 911 related keywords are not going to be finding cryptomundo.com near the top unless of course all of the controversy this guy created is bringing in enough of a buzz that Google see’s it as relevant.

In the most basic form of thought ~ I believe the timing and wording associated in Loren Coleman’s articles and blogs are exactly as most of us think and relate. How many folks do recall, research or retell a memory once a story has been heard? How many of us can and do note personal associations to certain headlines? Common sense, if possessed would only have one interested in and speaking of the “water cooler” story of the day.

What is next? Will one or more of Loren Coleman’s critics now allude to the possibility that Myron Getman and Bobby Nelson are clandestine Crytomundo supporters enlisted by Coleman as puppets used only to create even more of those highly desired “hits’ Loren Coleman does not need?

BTW, IMO, The International Cryptozoology Museum deserves much, much more attention and support from the Cryptozoology community.

Loren and Craig, this guy doesn’t have a leg to stand on. What he doesn’t get is people LIKE cryptozoology. They like both of you, you’re interesting and decent people, who respectfully create opportunities for intellectual discussion. Perhaps, this chap has a problem with intelligent people discussing rationally, something he doesn’t believe in and that makes him a little more than envious. People want to be believed, they want to feel like they belong and the fact that people can discuss something they don’t fancy, with rational thinking on all three sides of the fence(believer, skeptic, fence sitter) makes him feel like he has to find something to rationalize it away. Certainly it couldn’t be discussion on cryptids, it has to be some kind of trick or lure to make folks have interest in this field.

I honestly feeling he just doesn’t get it. NOR does he want to GET it. Nor does he have a sense of humor, which Loren and Craig do, which is why Cryptomundo is so popular. Folks an laugh at things in the field as well as discuss them.

LOL Though I rather fancied the Guys in Crypid post myself But I don’t log in because I can get a chance of seeing hot dudes in the field. I log in because I can discuss what people are doing in the field.

Craig, I want to think you for keeping the site going even if you are not getting much cash for it. I know it can’t be easy with the economy today, but it is appreciated by the folks here. And Loren, if it means anything I appreciate your posts, and your ideas. Ryk and I hope to take the mob to the International Museum of Cryptozoology some time as well. It sounds so awesome!

I for one certainly enjoy posts that include girls in bikinis! Never have I seen a photo here that I wouldn’t want my kids to see either.

People who presume to know the heart and motives of others (especially people they don’t even know) really rile me. I mean honestly, if someone has the temerity to make these kinds of unfounded accusations then perhaps their dogma supersedes their logical mind. It’s better to ignore people who make ad hominid attacks! (get it?!?)
Oh crap I just made a connection to bigfoot! I guess I’m just trying to get hits.

Loren–It is almost laughable, almost. It appears some people feel the need to write about things which they know nothing about. Apparently, they do not know Loren Coleman, the man. They “think” they know him and rush to judgement. Unfortunately, that judgement is way off the mark, not objective, and just a completely subjective opinion.

I do know Loren! What Loren explained is absolutely correct! He could care less about hits, numbers, rankings, etc. There is something called passion. Loren is passionate about Cryptozoology. That’s it in a nutshell.

So, yes, things he writes about, do revolve around happenings in the Crypto world. Those happenings take place every day. He is trying to keep things current and relevant at this site. Get it, Mr. Skeptic? Everyone else does!

It seems to me almost every day in the calender year falls on one anniversary or another or one holiday or another. I bet Hallmark has a card for almost any day in a calender year.

Geesh, you think some people would understand how the world works, how journalism works, how the internet works, etc. One poster brought up a very valid point. That was that if one does a simple Google search for 911, Cryptomundo is not going to appear anywhere near the top of returned websites. So could that skeptic please explain to us all, how Loren is drawing people to this website by a generic search like that. Brother, Loren, the trivial things you must endure to post simple matters of cryptozoology! My heart goes out to you.

You know what, objectively speaking, I think someone is either jealous of you and your success or that they have a “man-crush” on you. Why would someone keep directing that kind of attention to you unless they wanted to be noticed. I mean, it would be one thing if anything these skeptics said made logical sense. However, by their own standards of objectivity, their arguments for the alleged promotion of this site, fall short!

Keep on keeping on Mr. Coleman!

With so much to ‘info’ for a skeptic to tear into with Finding Bigfoot on the TV, I find it hard to believe they found the time to focus any energy on this site. I’m sure if Loren Coleman wanted to go out of his way to drive people to this site, the use of naked cheerleaders or the Kardashians would have been a more transparent choice.
