Detecting Hidden Text

Monday, January 31st, 2005

Why is it that human nature is to be greedy? Someone provides a free service or a community of people attempt to form a real “cooperative,” yet there is always someone who has to take advantage of the system. Today I was reading throught some of the morning’s posts over at the DP forums and […]

Duplicate Filter Info

Thursday, January 27th, 2005

With all of the worries about duplicate content filters today and the fact that G decided to stop sending search traffic to one of our sites recently, I began to dig around a little bit to see what I could find out. It appears that the issue between having www. in front of your domain […]

Thursday, January 20th, 2005

We all know people have been asking about a Yahoo! API for some time now, but now that Yahoo! appears to have a search algo that works at driving traffic, and they are introducing just about every useful search feature that Google has (image search, RSS, etc), why not give us an API already.

New Microsoft IE Patch Blocks Adsense

Thursday, January 13th, 2005

It appears that the latest “patch” released by our friends at Microsoft blocks Google’s Adsense ads by default. This should come as no surprise as it is Microsoft up to their old tricks again.

MSN Search BETA Ramp Up!

Tuesday, January 11th, 2005

Pinging Google?

Monday, January 10th, 2005

I just got finished looking for information on ways to ping google when a new blog post is created. I could not find anything but one post asking basically the same question. You would think if Google has the time to try and publish public libraries on line, they could figure out a good way […]
