Emilio Estevez Quit Googling His Own Name

Thursday, September 28th, 2006

One thing I learned from blogging, is if you mention a person's name, they come'a'running. I've seen this over and over again. It's not a surprise, people use Google Alerts or something similar to scan for mentions of their names, so any post you make will be found ...

$1,000 For A Link That Doesn’t Count In Google

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

The saying a sucker is born every minute definitely applies on the internet. This time "savvy internet marketers" got caught with their pants down. According to Google MouthPiece Matt Cutts during an interview with John Battelle, paid links are almost always devalued. But I don't get the ...

Google Cache Removal

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

How long does it take to remove pages from Google's cache? I added the meta tags to do so, as described in this post about eliminating your pages from Google's cache, and am starting to see results already, less than 5 days later. As Google re-indexes the pages, it drops the Cached ...

Eliminating Your Website From Google’s Cache

Saturday, September 16th, 2006

Google keeps a cache of every web page you make. The cache copy is basically a copy of your content, as it appeared on a certain day in time. This "snapshot" can remain active for quite some time, perhaps even indefinitely. For many websites this might not ...

Interesting article in Valleywag about Myspace.com and some interesting facts most consumers probably aren't aware of. 2. MySpace.com is Spam 2.0. MySpace has spawned an incredibly successful twist on the age-old art of self-promotion, allowing--even encouraging--the marketing of everything from bands to businesses on their site. Essentially, they've opened up a ...

Fast indexing from Google lately

Tuesday, September 12th, 2006

Google has been extremely quick to index pages lately, IMHO. I've been seeing the trend for a number of weeks, and it doesn't appear to be slowing down at all. That's a lot like Google was in 2004, when life was good in Google. Google knows that freshness and ...

Methods you can use to increase our page views

Wednesday, September 6th, 2006

If you're like most people who make a living online, you earn more income if your page views go up. I've been concentrating on raising my page views in the last month, and I've had a great deal of success doing it. If you think about how people ...

College students make up a lot of internet traffic

Tuesday, September 5th, 2006

On a day like today, when you check your log files, you'll have a sudden appreciation for the effects of "Back to School". The school kids really are the ones visiting a lot of my sites, and their absence is notable. The same can be said about office ...

Netscape - the worst message board on the internet

Saturday, September 2nd, 2006

I think Netscape just might be the worst mess of an "open forum" I've seen in my days on the internet. Netscape, a failed portal, has been transformed into a Digg-clone, which is now led by Jason Calacanis, a man who makes some bewilderingly clueless statements, considering his role ...
