Step up your hosting…..

Friday, August 13th, 2010

I just got done helping a client migrate what was left of her sites off a shared host.  I won’t get into a bashing game with the host  - but they screwed up and she lost quite a bit of data. Shared hosts are great for spreading out the ip’s – but mission critical (ie [...]

Leased Domains can be a great clue.

Friday, May 21st, 2010

Came across a domain the other day that was an exact match for the term I needed.  I thought great – let me make them an offer.  I saw that the site was for lease and “semi parked”.  Basically a landing page with ads and NO real SEO value what so ever. O.K. – next [...]

Having trouble getting a hold of me?

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Today has been a rather long day. It started off with a phone call from one of our programmers that he had been getting the run around (by me) on getting paid. I was really surprised because my records showed a transfer and a payment made to him…. and I hadn’t talked to him at all in [...]

Aren’t kids great?

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

My daughter (4) is convinced that we are her “new” parents and that she had “old” parents who died. No amount of reasoning with her seems to correct this.  I’ve shown her pictures of me holding her in the hospital after she was born, pictures of her in mommies belly, etc… So no big deal [...]

All those “local seo” products hitting the market…….

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

I’m sure you’ve seen a few e-mails about the riches to be had with local seo. This is true – there is a lot of money to be made with the local seo scene and it’s something we’ve talked about in the black hat experimental section as well as the changing affiliate world categories. I’ve [...]

Google only wants you to create quality content…..

Friday, April 16th, 2010

Quality Content plz… One of the things that Google has been asking for for many years is quality content right?  I’m sure you’ve heard for quite some time that Google only wants you to deliver good content.  If you do that you will be a happy webmaster. Who owns youtube? I do believe that Google [...]

Want a different tax day next year?

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

Well I just shipped off my taxes (o.k. I did it last week).  I’m laughing because the tea party crazies are blocking the post office in the capital here at my state, and the post office is giving pizza away to folks dropping off their returns at almost midnight — what’s up with that? I’m [...]

Forget Captchas – Make em write for you!

Friday, March 5th, 2010

Just had a thought (you know that’s dangerous).  I recently signed up to beta test a service that is paying us to get folks to fill out a captcha – of course that captcha has advertisements in it.  I’m not sure how long something like this will last, but it’s a great way for brands [...]

Cult of Personality?

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Read a review today about a product of some type called “nanoblogger”. Basically an e-book/guide thing on how to make small blogs and interact with social networks. It got me to thinking though *always dangerous* about how easy it would be to screw this up. Normally when you are making small sites you are making [...]
