Credit Suisse Raises Target on GOOG, Freddie Mac Posts $2B Loss

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

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 are looking [...]

Google PR Stuff, My Take

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

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 [...]

Good .com Domains Still Available

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

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 [...]

Low Payout Affiliate Offers

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

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 [...]

See All Inbound Links on Google

Monday, September 17th, 2007

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 [...]

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

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 CPM [...]

Why Do We Link to Technorati?

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

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 [...]

Monday, August 27th, 2007

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? [tags]Link Building, SEO, Monday[/tags]

Google Blog Updating Oh My

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

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 [...]

The “American Way” vs. the Right Way

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

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 country [...]
