Gossip Boys (Or SEO Attention Whores)

Go read this awesome post from your friendly neighbour Mad Hat There seems to be more intelligent conversation on Perez Hilton sometimes. What’s the point of that response? It doesn’t add to the conversation in any way. Rand, why is it pure hypocrisy? Why is it attention baiting? It’s like grade school. You’re a sissy, na ...]

Let’s Beat Up Dreamhost - AAAH!!! (read: William Wallace Battle Scream)

Doesn’t matter if as soon as possible (within the hour) there was a message in users’ control panels letting everyone know what happened.

Shit happens. None ...]

Paid Links Are Dead, Or Is It Google Who Is Dead?

There is one truth not even Matt Cutts will dare to challenge: Buying links will help your indexing and your ranking. Why does Google have a problem with it?

Create Your Own Amy Winehouse

(Most) SEOs are leeches. We identify phrases with popularity and then push content to the top of the search engine listings for these phrases. Some people build their own buzz and create search volume for phrases that didn’t have any before. Knowing how to generate both visibility and popularity for relatively unknown phrases can take you from being ...]

An Intriguing Story About Black Hat, DDOS Attacks, The White House, Terrorists And The CIA

Link Building In A Breeze

My friend Darkseo partnered with Busin3ss. Only good things can come of this union. These two gentlemen came up with Blog Farm Explosion. Now, I quitted developing blog farms ever since social bookmarking and tagging came along. Especially since Google got pretty good at unveiling link schemes that lived in same IP ranges. I just didn’t feel ...]

Links from oscommerce stores

It would appear that many people install oscommerce but then fail to actually implement it. If you happen to be in control of a oscommerce installation then obviously you can modify it to your requirements, including putting any links on there that you like to.

Negative SEO - Duplicate content

Duplicate content has been a problem for people for a long time. The basic idea is to create many copies of the content on someone elses website to confuse search engines about which one is the true author of the content and force them into supplemental results. Generally this method is unlikely to work ...]

Network Solutions is evil

A member on DomainState reports that Network Solutions is registering domains after availability lookups, follow-ups on Conceptualist, Elliot’s Blog, Dominik Mueller, DomainBits DotSauce. The only thing I have to say is that this is utterly ridiculous. Not to mention that NetSol is now the proud owner of the following domains: networksolutionsarecunts.com networksolutionsarefucktards.com networksolutionsarecfuckheads.com DOMAINKITINGISWRONG.COM NETWORKSOLUTIONSSUCKSMONKEYBALLS.COM NetworkSolutionsSucksAss.com NETWORKSOLUTIONSKISSMYASS.COM NETSOLLIKESTOSTEAL.COM Jonathon Nevett, Vice Pres

Quick SEO Tip: Rank for filetype queries

Add a dot and a file extension to your URLs and your site will show up for ‘filetype:’ queries on Google (and other engines I guess) even if you serve just html and not the assumed filetype. Search for filetype:torrent for some examples.

Google AdWords Scores Leaking - Why?

Last week, everybody was discussing Google’s leaked AdWords score values.

Proof That Google.co.uk is a Separate Search Engine!

You think I’m mad? Lately I have seen so many weird things in google.co.uk that are way too different from google.com that it would lead one to believe these are two separate search engines! 1. Why else would google.co.uk show ads for searches for something like http://www.somedomain.com/somepage.html? Especially since they are ads for the same somedomain.com? ...]
