I was just mid-session on Google Webmaster tools, when I clicked on a link and saw the message – “that page no longer exists”. Huh?
I went back to my home page for WMT, and that too was a bad link. Weird. So, i went to my IGoogle home Page, went back into Google Webmaster Tools, and “wham” everything was different!
“Universal Search” was implemented by Google quite a while ago, yet the only visible change to the search results has been occasional interspersing of some video or news.
Search was not really “revolutionized” or “changed as we knew it”, and most users have absorbed the subtle addition without even noticing.
Someone sent me a box of chocolates, and they came as I was opening my new Flip camera. Since they were so impressive looking, I decided to test out the camera on these chocolates! The Flip camera installed easily, and since I already had MySpace open in a window, I used their video player which I’ve never tried before…
Almost two years ago at SMX Advanced 2007 I had a short talk with Matt Cutts about the nofollow tag being “okay to use”, and my last statement was something like this:
“So there’s really no “over optimization” penalty or anything considered “evil” about manipulating page rank exactly as you wish? Even if it’s just for funneling the link juice exactly where you want?
I’ve had my share of issues with Comcast in the past, and this one is just as frustrating.
Just like many of my issues with them so far, it’s completely inconsistent from market to market, so their support department seems to know nothing about it.
I just finished my slides for an hour-long presentation that I’m giving on Wednesday, April 15 at a monthly meeting of the Corvallis Etailers Association.
The presentation is taking place at

I’ve prepared a presentation on a few essential SEO basics, but after gauging the room for SEO knowledge I plan to quickly shift to a more advanced presentation.
Ever since around the new year, when Comcast “doubled my speed for free”, I’ve had nothing but problems.
Even when its operating at what seems to be optimal capacity, it’s definitely slower than it was back in late 2008.
Frequently I will lose my connection for one to two minutes at a time, then it mysteriously comes back.
We got hit today with another 48 hours of Microsoft spam blacklisting, this time because a brand new hosting client sent out 30,000 e-mails in one day.
When I looked at the website of this new client, I did have just the slightest hesitation when I saw that he was an Internet marketer, however it never occurred to me that he could be a complete idiot.
This morning, email and website access is sporadic (at best) on the PDXTC servers, and it is slowly being restored.
For what it’s worth, the problem was not actually on our end, but in the middle, with one of Portland’s primary bandwith providers making a stupid mistake. i know that’s of little consolation, but it’s the truth.
It’s not often that I am 100% blown away by a new product, but in my opinion, this is yet another turning point in the online world, and I can’t believe I didn’t hear about it sooner.
For over two years now, I’ve been saying that whomever “solves my problem” is going to make big bucks, from a lot of people, and somebody finally has.
The only time I’ve ever written anything before about an experience with anything Apple, I got attacked by rabid fans and supporters of Apple so quickly that I was stunned, but perhaps this one won’t be as controversial.
Our family now owns three Ipod Touch handhelds, which are essentially Iphones without phone service and can surf a wireless internet connection.
Okay, catchy headline, I’m guilty. It won’t be the last, but may very well be the best you’ll ever see, if you look at it logically…
Regional conferences are showing up all over, dividing the time talent and energy of the conference speakers.
After the original SearchFest in 2005 did not return in 2006, SEMpdx was formed and revived the event for the following year.
