What is the measure of a true geek? How about when your robots.txt file is a PR4. I was just messing around reading Shawn’s blog and noticed a post about Brett Tabke and his robots.txt weblog. I checked out the robots.txt file at Webmaster World and sure enough there is a recently updated, […]

Ok, so what is the deal with the whole Black Hat / White Hat BS? I mean, let’s get serious. Is there anyone out there who has not broken the law somehow? Is that possible? I don’t think so. I see this whole silly debate over Black Hat SEO and White Hat […]

I guess I forgot to mention this last week…imagine that. The guys (are there any girls over there? I haven’t noticed any) over at Performancing have put out a pretty nice FireFox Blogging extension.  If you use or tried out Flock, it basically […]

I was just reading Niall Kennedy’s Weblog and noticed his “Exclusive” this morning. Apparently the boys and girls over at Google have been busy little beavers, working on their feeds API. Niall has confirmed with a Google source that they will indeed be releasing a Feed Reader API very shortly (as in less […]

Keeping with the tradition of highlighting the best of “x” for 2005, the world of SEO has been producing their own lists of the “best of 2005.” So, Chris Sherman at Search Engine Watch has put together the list of SEW’s best of 2005. Probably the best list of good SEO information I […]

Some interesting things have happened on December 28th in our brief history here on this earth:

1793, Thomas Paine is arrested in France for treason
1832, John C. Calhoun became the first vice president of the United States to resign, stepping down over differences with President Jackson
1895, the world’s first commercial screening of a film takes place […]

Ok, I try to stay out of posting anything that can be seen as related to politics…things in this country have gone too far. Too far at creating a huge division between all of us. I cannot remember a time in my almost […]

One of my favorite reads, via RSS, each day is from SEO Blackhat.  The right mix of real SEO information and humor, I guess that is just my style too.  Anyway, today a report on a little test that was conducted for the […]

So, I was poking around today and came across someone else talking about the Ford Explorer Adsense Ads, this morning.  So, I decided to pay a visit to the official Google Adsense blog to see if there was anything posted there about it.  […]

Something very interesting just happened and I thought I would share it here. I was looking at some jacket’s online with Danielle (my fiance) for her mother (Cameron, please stop reading here). Danielle wanted to show me two jackets, one at The Sports Basement and one at REI. Now, me being the […]

Ok, it is not like anyone is working and I have had too much caffeine. Plus, I was checking out the Technorati Mini deal and watching “George Bush.” I came across this little morality test that all Americans should be required to take. Please be serious, and please be honest.

For those of us who have become addicted to Technorati, there is a new toy that will help you to get some other things done in your work day. Technorati Mini uses a narrow pop-up browswer window that updates every minute or so for any topic you enter into the Mini search box. It […]

I was pretty psyched yesterday when I saw that Google Adsense was running some of those big bolded text ads on my blog and then I noticed that they were also running on another one of my sites this morning…but, they are the same ad. What is that all about? Well, either Google Adsense […]

Yu Chen has posted at the official Google blog about a new feature for Google’s personalized search. Google Search Trends, allows you to see how you search and what you have clicked on in the past as well as other little tid bits about yourself that you did not really think that Google, or […]

Yahoo announced some more cool shortcuts to their search engine this morning. I have to say, it is nice to see Yahoo’s committment to making their search engine better each day. I wish they had done it earlier, but then we might be talking about Yahoo! like we talk about Google today. More competition […]

I hope that all of you actively keep up with current events and issues here in the United States. The more I think about it, the more I realize that we are all responsible for the actions of our government. If you like where we are, or if you don’t like where we are, […]

It has just dawned on me that PCs posess many of the things that we as human beings would love to have in life. We have all seen the ads on tv for the “easy button” that allows Santa and everyone else to bypass the holiday headaches and breeze through their shopping by pushing the […]

It is the season of giving, or something like that. I just answered the door and it was the FedEx man. Usually, it is some wine from one of the 10, or so, wine clubs that I belong to. But, as soon as I saw the package, I realized what it […]

In case you didn’t notice, the Adsense team has reworked the Adsense tips page on their website. While much of it is the old stuff in new clothing, there is also a few new tid bits up there. I don’t think there is anything earth shattering, but if you are using Adsense and […]

Just noticed that the Google Sitemaps team is busy at work. They have just announced that Google Sitemaps now shows more query stats than they did previously. Before tonight, they only showed the top 5 queries that your site was shown in the SERPs for and the top 5 queries that people clicked on […]
