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 that ...…
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 the coop ...…
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 that Google ...…
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. Now you ...…
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 some rotating ...…

Are we back on the Google 30-day plan? Seems to me that Google has been doing a much better job of updating their index in the past month-and-a-half. I am almost constantly seeing some kind of change in toolbar PageRank somewhere in our network as well as major updates in page counts for individual sites. ...…
Yahoo! is reporting a new Yahoo! index update this morning. According to the blurb on their blog, they are and will be coming more frequently due to improvements Yahoo has made in their indexing system. I guess I need to do some more work on the sites ’cause I didn’t see more thant one or ...…
Lots of people out there looking to make it rich with domain names. While I think there is still money to be made spec’ing domain names, it is definitely not like it was back in the old days. I regsitered testyourself.com many years back to do “something” with. One day a guy offered me $12k ...…
Where oh where are the Green Hat SEOs at? I have been tired of hearing about the Black Hat SEO vs. White Hat SEO for a while now and have been planning Green Hat SEO for some time. Last night I finally made it around to registering it. Who is a Green Hat?…
