Sloppy and unethical SEO’s are walking a fine line between competitive SEO and committing crimes.

I’m getting a lot of queries for some terms that most wouldn’t see on this site for the posts containing those words are now deep inside.

Many (very many) have used my iPhone web app template but I’ve added a few enhancements. Hopefully you come back to find it. It lists some tips for coding your site, corrects some paragraph layout bugs since version 1.1.1, adds custom web clips icons and is now quicker loading.

Web designers, I’m offering a color-picker tool today. It’s linked over on the sidebar for easy reference if you want to use it later.
