Well, since J-Money has been getting everyone and their mothers excited about spending money via CPC companies to generate traffic. I decided to share something that will probably make the biggest difference in how Google places your ads. I know that most people are probably using some kind of ad generation tools to create […]

I was going to put something like this together for myself and then dump some adsense into it, but I have too much on my plate right now. Plus, I am realizing that I need to do some serious hacking on this Wordpress install to speed things up around here. Anyway, if you want […]

Sometimes I feel like a total retard (to use the 100% politically incorrect term). I have been using Google Analytics, aka Urchin, since they announced it at last year’s PubCon…where I scored a t-shirt…woooot…anyone want it? Anyway, I have noticed a few bugs since they have upgraded everyone’s accounts to 10 sites. I […]

To follow up on my Google trusted host idea, it looks like that it is not necessary to have “at least one link pointing to your site” as it used to be, to get a website into the Google index. I launched a new subdomain on the golod.com domain that has a Wordpress blog on […]

Well, I am not sure what any of this means, but I put up a new subdomain on golod.com over the weekend…actually on Friday afternoon around 5pm. The new site was indexed in Google after I posted one blog post and later put a link on the golod.com blogroll. I checked to see […]

I have been working on a couple of projects lately and they have been taking up all of my time…which is a good thing. However, something that I have wanted to do for a while is to create a few, topic-based blogs, that have a number of knowledgeable contributors providing the content. I […]

Tracking UPS packages is easier on Google than it is on the UPS website. If I go to the UPS website, I have to check a box stating that I agree to the terms and conditions, whatever they are, after I type in a tracking number and before I click “Track.” On Google, I […]

Not that I really care about all of the BS “Google Doesn’t Care About Click Fraud!” posts that have been circulating over the past month or so, but I did just read a response to Google’s click fraud report filed by the independent 3rd party who investigated Google’s efforts to prevent click fraud in the […]

It is no secret that Blogger, by Google, is a spammer’s dream. I have been pretty amazed that Google has not done anything to try and prevent these splogs from being created and/or becoming much more proactive in defeating existing ones. I wanted to see what the procedure was a few weeks ago to […]

Yippeeee! I just got a message from Tiffany! Who is Tiffany? Well, I don’t know, but she is making me a sweet offer. In exchange for a link to her site, I will get a link from their site on a page that, “…is awaiting a Google PR update of a PR 3-4.” Oh, […]

Ok, so I am getting back into the swing of things this week. Been studying to re-establish my California real estate license for the past couple of weeks…more on that later. I was just poking around Google Sitemaps a bit (hey Google, how about an easier URL for the damn thing…maybe sitemaps.google.com?) and noticed […]

Hey Google. How about making the cool Google Maps for Mobile work with the super duper pimp Cingular 8125, running Windows Mobile 5.0. I tried to install the Java app, but it just locked up. Then I updated the 8125 to the new ROM and still no love. I am sure it will […]

Well, I finally broke down this morning and pulled the DP coop from one of my sites and submitted a Google Reinclusion Request to the boys and girls at Google. The site in question has been around too long and means too much to me to just let it go. So, I pulled […]

Well, it was a fun ride, but I think it is time that everyone is going to have to come back to the basics here pretty soon. I have been running the Coop on a bunch of sites since its inception and I think those days are coming to an end. I suspect […]

Ok, I am definitely late in the game on this one, but I have to throw out some serious props to Aaron Wall for putting together the mother of all Firefox Extensions…SEO for Firefox. This little bad boy makes your Google and Yahoo searches more robust than Pamela Anderson after her latest surgery. […]

I laugh just about every day when I see the crap that is all over the web these days. I am not going to lie, I have some of that crap out there, but my crap is pretty nice. There is some really crappy crap out there that simply has no place in a search […]

I am trying to figure out the value of .edu links. I have a domain/site up for sale on DP that has one PR5 .edu link pointing to it and currently the site (only one page) is showing a toolbar PR of 4. It gets cache updates every week or two and has […]

I might be on crack, but it looks like Google might have made it back to some pre-DP coop ranking levels for a couple of sites that I have. I have been running coop on these sites since its inception and have not changed how they do much (except for adding a few terms here […]

Yipppeeee! I think this whole NSA eavesdropping thing is kind of funny. I was at the store this morning picking up a few snacky snacks and I noticed a comic taped to the cashier’s register. It was a picture of a bunch of people using their cell phones right next to each other at […]

I remember the first time I heard the word Google. I was in New York, heading out to my parent’s house on Fire Island…yeah, you know, where all of the gay people are. Anyway, a friend of mine was talking to someone else and he mentioned Google. At the time I was running […]
