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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Google Adsense Referrals 2.0 Beta

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 […]

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 […]

Fair Isaac to Take On Click Fraud

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

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 […]

Google Working it Out

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

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 […]

What’s in a Domain Name

Wednesday, May 9th, 2007

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 […]

Google Page Rank Updated

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

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. […]

I Broke Google Adsense

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

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 […]

Google Losening the Leash?

Tuesday, February 27th, 2007

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 […]

Best Adsense Image Implementation

Tuesday, January 2nd, 2007

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, […]

Google Adsense Says No to Images

Wednesday, December 20th, 2006

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 […]

Zawodny Busts Google

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

Pretty funny post over on Jeremy Zawodny’s blog about Google copying Yahoo. I can understand it if some 13 year old kid copy’s some website’s design, but a company with a $147 billion market cap is copying a one pager ad for IE7 from their competition? What stoner web dev guy/girl at Google thought […]

Google Trying New Adsense Colors

Monday, December 11th, 2006

Looks like Google is trying out a new lime green adsense background on their search results page for the top sponsored links. I actually like it quite a bit. It stands out, but is not too in your face. I am sure they are going to see a pretty nice bump in click throughs for […]

The SEO Paradox

Tuesday, December 5th, 2006

Well, I am not sure that paradox is the right word to use, but I was just looking at some rankings in the DP Keyword Tool and had to laugh. You see, I have not really worked at getting anything to rank for anything in the past 3 to 6 months. Well, I mean to […]

Gmail Status Page Please

Monday, November 20th, 2006

Ok, so I rely heavily on email…shocker. Just about every industry does these days. Email is fast, efficient and something you can send and receive just about anywhere if you are enough of a geek. So, what happens when you use Gmail to relay your email, clean up your spam and provide web based access […]

I Want to Buy Craig’s List

Friday, October 6th, 2006

Well, if you read this junk pile every so often, you know I have been messing around with Craig’s List lately. At this point, I want to buy Craig’s List. I am pretty shocked at how quickly and how well some of my postings are ranking in the SERPs. It is pretty ridiculous. […]
