Linkbait - The Chicken or the Egg?
As with many things in life, trying to figure out how to create great linkbait (content or ideas that attract links from other web sites and blogs) can be difficult and downright confusing. My personal feeling is that you have to believe in your idea and create great […]

Let’s all just hope that the tech market holds and that the ever-weakening US Dollar helps our technology exports continue to rise. Credit Suisse has upgraded their price target for Google stock (GOOG) to $900 from $800. On the flip side, Freddie Mac posted a $2B loss in Q3 of 2007 and they […]

Well, people are freaking out. People are bitching and moaning. People are talking about suing Google. Nothing has changed. I hope that the peeps down at the G-plex get together with some cold beers and laugh at everyone freaking out and talking out of their asses whenever they do something “dramatic.”
From what it sounds […]

I like when I find things online that actually work. Most things are usually someone’s blatant attempt to monetize on someone coming to their site or using their service…which is fine by me. But, it just makes me take notice when I find something that I actually go back and use on my own because […]

One of the easiest ways to get your top SERP positions is to have a domain name that helps you out. Typically this means having some or at least part of your main keyword(s) included in the domain name itself. A year or two ago, it became a no-no to use mega hyphenated domain names […]

In the past, I have always focused on the mid to high paying affiliate offers. I was never a high volume guy I guess from my experiences with online retail sites I have owned and operated. No matter what you sell, you always have to deal with customer service, so why not make 5 times […]

For the impatient types that are looking for their $100 off coupon code for Server Beach, the code is NWX3DCU3BW and my name is Jason Golod (if you need it). If you stay signed up with ServerBeach’s rock solid dedicated hosting for 90 days, you get a $100 credit. Pretty sweet deal considering their level […]

Looks like Google has updated their webmaster tools section (I still don’t know why they don’t have a standard naming convention ie: webmastertools.google.com for their products) and you can now see a much larger sample, if not all, of the external inbound links to your site. For instance, Google shows 1,440 links if I do […]

Since I have not been able to get anyone at the Internet Archive to give me anything more than a, “yeah, we got your email” regarding their SFLan “project”, I noticed today that someone posted a question about the San Francisco Meraki WiFi project. Right now, they will give one of their repeaters to you […]

Ok, I singed up for a mobile web / WAP affiliate network today called AdMob. It was painless as are most affiliate signups, but here is what is not painless. AdMob has a checkbox to email you when a new advertiser has been approved to run ads on your mobile site. I thought it […]

Thought I would put these up in case anyone with Vonage VOIP service was looking for Vonage diagnostic tests and tools. They have some beta diagnostic software available as well as a very cool broadband speed test and network status tool available online. I have always used Speakeasy’s broadband speed test in the past, […]

Some interesting stats in an email I received this morning from Speakeasy (the geek’s broadband provider):
U.S. small business spending on Web hosting is growing by 9.5% annually. It is expected to reach $7.4 billion by 2009, when over 83% of small businesses will have an online presence, according to analyst firm IDC.
IDC also projects […]

Geez, I just updated one of my blogs and did a search a minute or two later (wasn’t planning on checking, but I will when I post this) and the excerpt below the page title in Google’s SERPs was showing text from the brand new post. That is pretty amazing. I have heard some things […]

My favorite Wordpress plugin of all time, bSuite, has a new version out. Casey Bisson’s plugin does it all from making the tags you put inside a simple tag in your post into links, to generating stats on what post are most popular, tracking top search referals (all search referals), where people are commenting, […]

So, some people out there may have heard that the City of San Francisco has been trying to get a municipal WiFi network setup for a while now. I am not sure what the status is, but it ran into some decent opposition (as it should have IMHO) when they brought on Google and Earthlink […]

If you don’t know what I am talking about, then you don’t need to worry about it. If you are into lossless music formats like Flac and you are tired of Microsoft Windows products not playing nice with your Flac and AAC/MP4 files, then you need the AudioShell extension. Not only does this little […]

In a clear sign that the “American Way” is to defer payments, American Airlines now has a Buy Now, Pay Later scheme for purchasing airline tickets. I thought you could only do that on a couch or television purchase.

Ok, I am sorry. I am getting pretty tired of the ridiculous people that companies choose to use to staff their sales and customer service facilities. We have all had the Indian guy on the phone, with the half second lag between talking and listening. Now it seems that Mexico is the next […]

I am sure there is going to be some yahoo that reads this and gets pissed that I even used a title like that, but what they heck. Based on my experiences in life it certainly seems to me that there is a large percentage (more than a majority) of people in this beautiful […]
