If you leave your mail on the server, then it will eventually fill up, and when people try to e-mail or reply, they’ll get “the mailbox is over quota” or  something similar as a bounce-back message.

The SEO Automatic URL Review for Android is finally available, and it covers all the same ranking factors that the web version does.

Just like the iPhone app, the only difference between the free version and the paid version is that you can e-mail reports from the paid version.

Last week users began reporting that Google’s search results (and the PPC ads) began changing right before their eyes. I just saw it for the first time, but then it stopped immediately and hasn’t done it again.

As users type, Google and Binghoo both offer “suggestions” based on what others are searching for with some personalization thrown in, but now they’re changing the results on the page dynamically.

I just found out that a YouTube Strike is is on my video channel, and that certainly can’t be good!

Over the past few months I’ve been using a simple embed code from YouTube to share the videos over at SEO Automatic, and it’s been easy enough.

Inside of Google Webmaster Tools, there is an option called “Fetch As Googlebot” that is supposed to go crawl that page and return what it sees.

Fetch as Googlebot

Until this moment, I’ve never had much use for this, but that’s not the case now!

I discovered a problem when a website which had been hacked and then fixed was still showing the polluted snippet in the description on the results page.

We have a client that has been using OS commerce forever, and we have a good number of links established to the various sections of their e-commerce store. For various reasons, they are looking for a new e-commerce system, and appear to have settled on what I’ll call (for now) Product X.

This has been the most technologically devastating week of my life, and I consider myself extremely fortunate. Why “fortunate”?  Because I had good backups and only lost two days of my life, instead of suffering permanent damage.

There’s a set of “requirements” called Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) that was developed by the PCISSC  Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council.

I first heard of these “requirements” in the bar on the last day at Pubcon Vegas 2008, where someone said “Trust me, you’d BETTER learn about it, because they’ll make your life miserable if you don’t…”, and they were sure right.

I need to officially announce some recent changes to the e-mail configuration of our servers that may have caused some distress for our hosting clients, and I’d like to clear that up right now.

Yesterday Google released a more Bingish looking version of its homepage (what comes next, daily photos?) that has a new font, brighter colors, more earning potential for them, and probably more earning potential for you too.

After hitting the now more visible “More” link, there’s a new menu that you can’t possibly miss.

The Fall 2010 date for my class at Portland Community College will be Saturday, November 20th, and Saturday December 4th, with no class on Sat the 27th due to Thanksgiving weekend.

This class is *not* an advanced search marketing class, and in fact, if you are already working in the field of search engine optimization I can say that you would completely be wasting your time.

Verizon Wireless just missed a golden opportunity to speak to a group of 25+ computer consultants about why their network, and why their handheld devices were the best choice for clients.

They also managed to tick off and alienate that same influential group, by completely blowing them off after giving them the runaround for the bast few weeks, and finally leaving them hanging.
