Graywolf has pretty much been on the Google Smokescreen rant for the past couple of days and I am glad to see it. I usually chuckle a bit when people get their panties in a bunch every time Google *applies* for a new patent. People think that a patent application translates into Google using everything […]
I have to laugh at this one. Well, I actually laugh at most things even when they are not really that funny. But, Dave Naylor points out a great way to get yourself fired, if you are an SEO firm, and to get your client’s site banned from the search engines. Just take a look […]
Since I can’t seem to get over here to post every day, I figured I would post on some of the cool webmaster and SEO related stuff that I came across this week:
Rand commented on some of the “more important” elements of the recently released Google Web Authoring Statistics Study conducted by the hackers over […]
Ok, so you will never guess what showed up in yesterday’s mail. I will tell you. It was my brand new, embroidered, Shoemoney seat cover for my leather desk chair. This is when you know you have a true friend. When they send you your very own embroidered seat cover. I mean, what can I […]

Well, I guess the whole originality thing is out the window with the big 3 search engines these days, just like television, movies and many other things in society today. Reading my normal blog and news feeds this morning, I came across this post on the Yahoo Search Blog about their launch of Yahoo! […]
Matt Cutts just wrote a quick little explanation of what a “real Google update” is over on his blog. Of course as with most things Matt talks about, it seems there are always differences between what the mainstream webmaster community thinks and what the people over at Google think. In my mind, what constitutes an […]
Just read a really interesting find over at the RSS Weblog about MSN Search launching two new search operators. The “link:” and “haslink:” operators will show you xml/rss feeds for search terms or the page that links to a feed (respectively). This is actually a really great search tool and if you are like […]
