I just approved a few new comments and posted a few more links on the Video Professor post I put up about a year and a half ago.  This post has stirred up alot more attention than I thought it would have when I originally wrote about it. On another note, not many posts lately … Read more

So I just tried to order a couple of Google T-Shirts through the Google Store.  Not surprisingly, the store uses Google Checkout.  To my surprise, however, it does not seem to want to work – at least not in the IE 6.0 browser I tried it in (which is what like 80% of the internet … Read more

Brett Tabke’s Bot Blog.  Its his robots.txt file which has a blog in it as a .txt file.  Dorky, yes.  Old school, yes.  Terribly interesting and different.  Indeed. The blog is about bots and blocking them, etc. (which is most commonly done with a robots.txt file), so what more appropriate way to launch a blog … Read more

I’m not a CD or DVD burning power user by any means.  Basically I just occassionally burn a music CD and try to regularly backup important files, etc.  Not a power user. Anyhow, I wanted to make a bit of a recommendation for BurnQuick, an application that is very lightweight, easy to use and cheap … Read more

Paul Ward has a great post about digital dashboards and various marketing metrics. He discusses how a corporate CEO is not necessarily the best person to keep tabs on some of these metrics, as in many cases they do not necessarily understand them – nor do they care about them as much as other metrics … Read more

Time management, and moreso project/time organization, is always a challenge for me.  I want to make sure I get “everything” done and don’t let anything slip through the cracks. As far as I see, there are two ways to approach the scheduling of my time as related to “client work”.  For my purpose, “client work” … Read more

A client just sent me this.  Hilarious domain names!

So I just did a search for maryland seo and noticed that everything from listing #6 through page 50 is all the same site – subdomain pages for freelancedesigners.com.  Example URLs: ellicott-city_md.marketing.freelancedesigners.com/ columbia_md.marketing.freelancedesigners.com/ clarksburg_md.marketing.freelancedesigners.com/ elkton_md.marketing.freelancedesigners.com/ . You get the idea.  Imagine that X 500.  In fact, it may go well beyond page 50 – I … Read more

Wow again.  An article on ClickZ entitled MySpace Rules the Web states that MySpace is now the most popular site on the internet, surpassing Yahoo Mail, Yahoo, Google, eBay, etc. Crazy growth for MySpace, which was sold a while back to NewsCorp/Fox.

Need a fantastic Windows hosting company?  There is one firm I’ve used for several years and I pretty much insist on for any SEM clients who I’ll be working on for a long period of time.  Who is this legendary company?  Millennium Systems.  Yes, they’ve even made it to my firm’s oh-so-prestigous partners page. Doing … Read more

Happy 4th of July!  I’m only in the office for the morning mostly to do some work for my class… wanted to share this though.

So I’m either way late or way early or just flat out missing something, but I just was on MySpace and I tried a search without specifying a site-search (i.e. full web search).  I was looking for the page for The Shins, which I could probably guess the URL for in about 10 seconds but … Read more
