Yahoo Goes Black Hat

November 23rd, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in Featured Articles, Network Progress Report, Rambling

What do you call a website that has no unique content and is just scraped material from other sources and ads?

(other than Google)

Beyond “GOOGLE” apparently Yahoo is moving beyond just showing search results.  Yahoo has something called “GLUE” out now.  Of course it’s in Beta.  But here is a taste:  Yahoo Glue (new age).

Of course that doesn’t mean it’s a good user experience – but heck you CAN and should take a look at that page.  Every single element is scraped content – and it’s perceived as a good user experience.

It’s also something anyone with just a small amount of programming experience can pull off.

Ed’s Progress Report – Day 5

March 5th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Network Progress Report

I started writing the day 7 “30 days to a kick ass network” post today.  As you can see I made it “live” so you can sort of get an idea of what I’m about to be putting up.  If you are reading this shortly after I write it that might make some sense – if you get read this after I finish day 7 you might be confused.

I’ll leave it to you to puzzle out.

Anyway, I have a few tricks up my sleeve to do what I’m teaching you in day 7, but nothing that doesn’t require you to know some coding.  So I had to start from scratch and make it as simple as I could.

I think I’ve done that – finished the tool, now I just have to make the video, and write up some documentation.

The bad part is I haven’t done much of anything on my own network.  I have a partner though – and he has done quite a bit.  He’s put up a bunch of squidoo lenses on our day 4 and 5.   Nothing glamorous or anything – just what it takes to have a good link foundation.

Ed’s Progress Report – Day 4

March 5th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Network Progress Report

So we moved into Day 4.  Whew – I didn’t touch my stuff.

Instead I built microtargetniches for you guys/gals in nss 2 and those who are following along here.

It takes the day 4/5 script and pretties it up and adds some more features.  I spent a day coding it, a day setting it up to auto install, and a day taking a nap.

(really  – I was tired after dealing with the kids having the plague.)

Anyway – micro target niches is up – and it’s free for NSS 2 members.  For the rest of you I’ve made it way more than affordable.
