Work

I just happen to know some of the TOP DAWGs, or the big cheeses in the SEO Industry, so when I needed to train an employee on link building I figured I would ask them what I should make them read.

These are the results: http://twitter.com/wertrose … just kidding, that was still in my clipboard.

It seems like Microsoft sends me 1-2 of these AdCenter packets a week. I have saved them for a while and let them stack up on my kitchen table. I am doing some cleaning up so here is a bunch of free advertising coupons and codes for AdCenter.

Here is a list of my favorite firefox plugins that I use all the time. I got the idea from jimbo over at LBE. I am now using this as a reminder to myself if my firefox ever dies on me and I need to re-install them.

So I have been listening to archives of SEO Rockstars and hearing oilman and webguerrilla talk about how the site link condom (linkcondom.com) is somehow the ultimate example of the google sandbox…so I look at the site and do some werty style diagnostics (look at the page)… and something kind of pops out at me… no mention of the phrase “link condom” at all on the page…it is on there once and done as one word linkcondom… so they are depending on nothing but link weight to rank number one for the phrase.

As you can see I have been accepted into the YPN trial program. YPN is the Yahoo Publishers Network, which is Yahoo’s alternitive/competitor to Google AdSense. I have only had them run on here for one full day, but was able to get a decent idea of CTR (click through rate) and click cost. The CTR is terrible, but so is the targetting (hopefully this will change), but the CPC (cost per click) is around 10-20x more then what I was getting from google. CRAZY. Crazy Indeed.

So I have become kind of an excel power user over the last year or so and have found some crazy shortcuts to save time by using the power of excel to generate spreadsheets for google adwords or overture.

We all know how easy google maps are to use. they allow you to quickly pull the map around to where you want to go. Well recently google maps opened up its API which allows people to pull data and intergrate other things with the maps.

One really cool example is HousingMaps.

BetterBadNews: “Google Pollutes Links Stream With Evil Precedent For Market Censorship”

This is a pretty funny video of why the new google toolbar is evil… if anyone does not know the new toolbar has the ability to autolink certain text on a webpage… right now, upc, isbn (book codes) and addresses, but they could expand it to whatever they want.

Well everyone and their mother posted about this new bullshit tag that 3 search engines and some blogging companies all agreed would rid the internet of blogspam… well it won’t. Blogspammers tend to hit old blogs that have not been updated in quite a while… like that crap metrosexual dot org site…it has like 700+ comments because the webmaster is a lazy shit and never deleted them, nor did she update the blogging software to “spam proof” the commenting system using various measures such as changing the comment scipt name, putting a blacklist filter on it, locking all comments, adding one of those randsom note fields, setting post timers so the comments dont get drilled….the list goes on and on…what is important here is that it is this old site that needs to update its comment security because some savvy web marketers fond out how to rank sites easily by exploiting web masters laziness…
