AzoogleAds for the Win

Wednesday, November 30th, 2005

Just saw Shoe-Dawg posting about the Firefox / Google “referral” program. It wasn’t something that I thought was going to be too exciting, but I know that some other people felt differently. But, what is interesting is some seriously high CPA action that Shoemoney reports from Azoogleads. $7.25 for Jamster, which seems like [...]

Great Amazon AWS WordPress Plugin

Tuesday, November 29th, 2005

I was thinking that it would really be great to have an Amazon AWS plugin for WordPress, and as with many other great ideas I have, I found that someone else thought it was a great idea also. Rich Manalang has created a great Amazon AWS WordPress plugin that does 99% of what I was [...]

Monday, November 21st, 2005

I was just “talking” with a friend on IM and I was a little taken back when he told me that it appears that I have lost my sense of humor. I will admit I have been “all business” lately and not really made light of much…like I usually do. Sorry about that. So, I [...]

Google Cache Function Still Messed Up

Saturday, November 19th, 2005

It appears that the Google Cache issue has still not been worked out. I have been trying to check cache dates on some pages today and I have not been able to find very many that exist in the index right now. Hopefully, this means that Google is working on fixing their cache display [...]

Amazon Goes Tag

Thursday, November 17th, 2005

It is official, tagging has become mainstream. I just noticed that Amazon.com is allowing customers to “tag” certain products. Bloggers have used tags for years to help categorize their posts for RSS aggregation sites like Technorati. Now it appears that the biggest name in ecommerce is jumping on board the tagging bandwagon. [...]

PubCon Vegas 2005 Update #2 – DMOZ

Thursday, November 17th, 2005

So, looking back at what I wrote last night at the hotel was a little harsh. I do think there are a bunch of little things that I managed to pick up at this year’s PubCon convention in addition to meeting a lot of the people we talk to and hear about on line [...]

Wednesday, November 16th, 2005

It is Wed. night and I am posting to the site using the television web service here at the hotel. It is actually better than I imagined it would be. I just need to make sure that I have the keyboard pointed at the television.
First PubCon
This is my first time at the Webmaster World, [...]

For those of you who didn’t notice and actually care what is going on over at Yahoo! Search, there was an update that started last night (Sunday) and is in full effect today. I have seen a number of sites display some significant movement in the Yahoo! Search SERPs.
