There’s nothing wrong with increasing traffic to a website by making it genuinely informative and sufficiently alluring to attract links from other websites and bloggers!
I don’t decry the practice of boosting, I’M AN SEO! HOWEVER, I do object to the means that some firms and people use to achieve it.

So, I’m building a site about Shiba Inus. (those are dogs) I have a shiba, great dog. His tail really is his signature. I AM NOT an artist, but my friend is. So, naturally I asked him to draw a picture of a Shiba Inu and to get that signature tail […]

I’ve said I’m not having adsense on this blog, but with the added traffic over the last week, well, I take it back. Plus I had to remove it from another site, grrrr. I am NOT asking anyone to click on them! Don’t do it!!

Turns out Tom Antion had a snide retort after getting caught spamming and his stupid mass email on his blogspot blog. Yes, comments are disabled apparently because he can’t allow anyone to show the hypocrisy behind his latest spam. He speaks of novice webmasters while his comments are at blogger.

Today I’ll talk about email, privacy and the gut dropping feeling people get when they get “caught” by their spouses.
A woman contacted me freaking out because her husband “found” some personal email of hers. The messages were harmless out of context, but did bring things into a fair perspective when coupled with behavior.

Sometime I work all day, some days I’m lazy. Today I TRIED to work the normal grind. After a client meeting I was driving back and saw smoke on the road ahead. GASP - the feeling that it could be your office. Well it was REAL CLOSE.

Dang it’s late, need to sleep but first I checked some logs. I found some funny Google searches that hit a couple of my sites.
Funny Search (didn’t remember typing this one)

Very Funny Search - hope I don’t get in trouble. Hey, WHO would search that anyway!!?
And the funniest of all […]

Tom Antion, the self proclaimed Internet Marketing Guru, has recently sent out a mass mailing with an insulting and inaccurate subject and message.
The subject line states “your links are wrong on your website”
Hey Tom, thanks for the analysis, thanks for the lies. It certainly set the tone for the rest of your email for it […]

Plan your website BEFORE you build it. Before you tweak a template or a line of code, draw up a clear set of goals.

Rick Barber is a radio host and airs in Denver in the middle of the night. Beside the other show that caters to UFO stories and the paranormal at that time, Rick caters to self-anointed intellectuals, and has a couple of co-hosts (regular callers). One of the co-hosts is great, you can hear […]

Super cool giant touch screen LCD - like a giant iPhone. What to do with something like this? Who cares!

Categories as tables - YES!
As most seo’s know, Drupal is a GREAT open source cms. Not only is it highly customizable, but the seo features and contributed modules are making it better all the time.
But, I have been frustrated for a little while with a new web build for a client.

Good video, and asks a few questions we talk about here.

Doorway pages that redirect us without explanation, synthetic pages auto-generated by software, pages like toilet paper containing nothing but links, pages without exits except an ad to click, pages with ads disguised as menus, pages containing long lists of every conceivable search query but no information.

Business does not drive the web, people do.
