Blog Grammar STFUGG

Over the last few weeks on various blog’s I’ve noticed many commenting on others grammar or spelling. (Even mine, ohh the shame of it) Seems to me it’s all too easy to read through a post and pick as many holes in it as possible. Surely if the message is conveyed in such a way […]

Talula does the hula from hawaii

would you name you child anything like this, seriously Talula does the hula from hawaii… I nearly crash my car today with laughter when on Radio 1, there was a report about a child been ward of court in New Zealand, and the judge was getting all Pissy that she wouldn’t give her name, she […]

Is this the end for Matt Cutts

Twice now I have personally seen private conversations that Matt has had with webmasters appear on the net, personally I’m in two minds on this.
So this is good news for SEO’s that haven’t fucked Matt over by publishing private convos. It will do one of 2 things….one it will make Matt much more wary of […]

Knol

Google Knol gets its debut. It’s about time Wikipedia had a competitor especially one that gives topic specific articles by leading experts. Monetisation looks key to the Knols too allowing authors to run ads with the articles and in addition high levels of prominence to the author. Such highlighting of authors is bound to get […]

Threats and abuse bloggers have to take

You certainly have to be thick skinned in this industry, every so often I get a torrent of abuse, mostly I just delete it, some I store, some I have had to report to the police, but a recent batch of comments that did not get published was the most interesting to date, a few […]

Flipswap

Flipping phone woes…. why not swap it out with Flipswap ?
We just had a call from one of our SEO clients who was advising us they would be late for their appointment this afternoon. The reason for this coincides nicely with Dave’s previous post on the HTC Diamond Touch. The laptop they needed was back […]

HTC Touch Diamond Bad points

1) it’s does not delete emails off the mail server when you empty deleted items. So when you get back to the office you still have to collect and delete the emails again..
2) it also destroys the information stored on Credit Cards and Room Keys.. just found out why!

Heads Up People watch your reputation

Only out of respect for Matt Cutts as a friend, I have played nice I didn’t do what I first thought about. Most people can easily setup a monitoring script, so when I see Tinyurl and loads of other redirectors like bit.ly, I get a notification, and then decide what to do:
if refer = […]

Fish Pedicure

Just looking through Google trends today and found that “fish pedicure” is upping on the search index. It’s the latest craze in Spa treatments apparently. I’ll be honest the prospect of having my feet nibbled by a tank of hungry carp doesn’t really appeal. Not to be scoffed at though this treatment is […]

Internet Trends

The current economic climate brings new challenges for all businesses. The media of course have latched on to the credit crunch oiling the wheels of panic. We have seen some noticeable changes within SEO too. Some clients have reduced PPC budgets whilst others have only just started a  PPC campaign. As house sales supposedly take […]

Maybe links aren’t important anymore

This is so so weird, I have had a feeling for a year or so that Google would move away from Links and Pagerank as we know it today. Well I think we are starting to see the first sign of it, over the last few weeks an industry I work in has had […]
