Yahoo Site Explorer and Ninite. My World Today

admin — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 17:36:36 +0000

I had an interesting day. As I sit here repairing my PC with a complete clean installation, I thought I’d share the interesting bits. I promise not to take too long. Using Ninite.com to REALLY make a PC reinstall easier. I think I used this once before, but it has come on a LONG way since then. Ninite.com [...]

Anatomy of a real live link building campaign

admin — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 13:47:23 +0000

I have always felt that there was a lack of case studies for link building campaigns. So I guess I have to 'fess up and say how we have been working on a World cup betting campaign for the last six months or so. It has been a journey and as we come to the wire, Paddypower have let me reveal our hand.

BBC.co.uk: Brilliant or Black-hat?

admin — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 16:25:31 +0000

I am in Dallas at the moment, wondering when the volcanic ash-cloud will drift away from London, so that I can get on a plane home. While investigating this, I came across something really interesting on the BBC website. It is something I would not have seen in the UK. The BBC is selling video [...]

Enquisite Linker Review

admin — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 11:07:47 +0000

In New York – shortly before Easter – I was lucky enough to bump into Richard Zwicky from Enquisite, the very day he had launched a new idea, Enquisite Linker. It was especially fortunate because I gave it a quick test drive there and then, so when I was on WebmasterRadio’s “State of Search” later [...]

I have been playing around with a neat world cup 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 [...]

Crazy Spring Conference Season

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 [...]

The Best Virtual Web Disk in the Clouds

admin — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 13:58:28 +0000

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 [...]

Top Ways to Break Google

admin — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:57:31 +0000

How many ways do you think we can find to break Google? Let me start things off. I just found Google’s Internet Stats page: Try to search for anything containing the word “internet” and the system just seems to hang. It was still hanging after I downloaded and upgraded my Wordpress installation. Dave Naylor, another UK SEO [...]
