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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I just logged into my Adsense account and noticed a new message saying my account has been chosen for the new Adsense Referrals 2.0 (yes, there are two r’s in referrals) Beta. Basically, it looks like Google is getting into the CPA game now. So, let’s see, they are in the CPC game, the […]

I think I am late in the game on this one, but why have we (read: I) been linking to Technorati for so long? Back in the day, I believe they at least started linking out to other sites. I am sure they got gamed, well, I know they got gamed but, what is the […]

It is on like Donkey Kong. Link building Mondays are coming to a website near you fool. Now and every Monday from here on out will be dubbed, “Link Building Mondays.” Who wants some?

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 […]

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 […]

Fair Isaac? Who is that? Well, let’s try it this way. Do you know what a FICO score is? FICO stands for Fair Isaac Corporation. They are the people behind the biggest scam in the US economy today. I call it a scam because nobody outside of the company knows exactly how the scores […]

As always, when Google performs one of their periodic updates, people (aka webmasters) see some pretty scary things happen. A couple of sites that I actively monitor and tweak ever so slightly, fell off the map. These are not sites that receive thousands of visitors a day, well actually that is not true…one was […]

Now that the dust has settled from the Google infrastructure update of last year (I don’t like to use the stupid names people give these things), it certainly appears that the TLD (Top Level Domain) name that you are using may play more of an important role than ever. I have seen a lot […]

In case you live in a cave, Google updated the Page Rank they show in the toolbar last week. More green for me. If you are looking for domains that have page rank and are “seasoned” you should drop me a line. I have a few that I am looking to get rid of. […]

Well, I noticed that a bot named MSRBot was grabbing a lot of pages from one of my sites just now and since I have not really frequented any search engine forums lately I didn’t know what it was. Turns out it is Microsoft’s Research Bot. Upon further inspection I noticed that the information […]

In case you were wondering, Google’s Adsense web site is apparently down right now. I went over there to tidy up a couple of things and check on some others and apparently they give you this message when the Adsense site is down. Glad to know they are covering every language on the face […]

Seems to me that things have returned to a bit more “normal” level in the past few months with regards to inbound links. I mentioned to a friend that I thought things like the DP coop network might actually becoming viable again, even though Google mentioned that they updated some things to prevent some […]

In case you live in a hole in the wall or just don’t care, Yahoo! has apparently made some kind of index update or algo change that has caused a reshuffling of the SERPs. Since I really don’t pay much attention to my traffic on a daily basis anymore, I was not aware of […]

Okay, so it is not really legit to put images next to your Adsense ads anymore…at least that is what Google says. But, we know that what people say and what people do are usually two different things, right? So, I was trying to figure out what the best MCE MPEG-2 decoder setup was, […]

Well, I am sure this is going to get the award for CYA in 2006. Google has decided to state publicly that lining up images with your Adsense ads is a no-no. Well, hardy har har. I am sure they are going to run out and ban people all over the place…because I […]
