I have been playing around with a neat widget, by Paddypower, which (with a few clicks of the button) you can use to provide live news about the World Cup into your website. You can also change the look and feel and decide what content you want. If you are into the Wolrd Cup and have any Footie sites, please try it out on your site by going to… Continue reading...
Next week (15-19th of Feb) I'll be at SES London. I'm helping Incisive Media out on the moderating and I also have a presentation and - new for me - I'll be running a site clinic on the Expo floor on the first morning. That means I'll have a full MajesticSEO account ready to help you analyse your links… Continue reading...
How do you find and attract affiliates? This article shows you cool technique that works for me. Continue reading...
Ever since Microsoft's failed "briefcase" concept on Windows 3.1, it seems the whole world has been crying out for a better way to work on different computers. I've got USB sticks, VPN networks, shared network drives, a web based FTP and I even used Yahoo's briefcase until they killed it off last year. So it was great to discover Dropbox this Christmas.

By contrast, I find myself heading to Pubcon next week in Las Vegas… Continue reading...
We are growing our office. We are not a large company, but we hope to be... so we had an extension built We then all moved into that, whilst the main office building was totally gutted. Even the second floor was rebuilt and the roof raised to meet modern day building regulations. Apparently we aren't allowed to only employ dwarves any longer. It's heightest.
Today I had a look in at… Continue reading...
I just had a bizarre online experience. It's 10:50 pm on a Friday night. I just heard @randfish (who was at my table at a social occassion wedding a few weeks back) is going to present to the UN Secretary on Sunday. I was told that by @ciaranj, just after he told me that my new favourite program; Flash Forward was on TV.
I think it is about time to consider… Continue reading...
PRWeb announced back in February that they were going to launch a UK version. I was very excited... then sadly watched for the next 8 months whilst the web page sat and effectively said "coming soon". Well... it launched a couple of weeks ago. Very quietly... with pretty much zero fanfare.
I thought that a new UK press release system would be a great case study for my presentation next week… Continue reading...
Twitter has suspended one of the UK's best known Twitterers in the search community. Continue reading...
