Today it has officially been 6 months since we created a post on this blog. We intentionally stopped blogging just to see how much blogging REALLY helps our rankings across the different search engines. During this blogging sabbatical, we noticed some interesting patterns relating to comment spam, visits from other countries as well as visits […]
Here are a few of our more popular posts for the month of December based on our Search Engine traffic: Free Alternatives to Microsoft Office Is TJ Maxx Getting Off Easy? How To Manipulate Google Results These are the top 3. I am not sure how popular they really are because no one is commenting […]
If a blogger posts on a blog and no one shows up to read it, why bother posting at all? How many bloggers do you know that would post every day if no one cared? Not many. In fact, unless you use your blog as an online diary, you are really hoping that people will […]
Blog Action Day – 2007 is about the environment and I decided to concentrate our post on the impact that discarded electronics have on landfills. Each year, millions of computers are dumped into landfills in the US alone. The Environmental Protection Agency tells us that the number is between 50 million and 75 million (link […]
Trying to get back into blog mode, I naturally checked out one of Garry’s blogs and saw his post on the Quechup Scam. I then ran across a post on eWeek about Quechup’s viral marketing. It boils down to Quechup spoofing email origins – what a bunch of morons. Can you believe that a “social […]
Wow! What a chaotic few weeks. We have recently migrated to a new web server to get away from the worst web hosting company on the planet (more on that in an upcoming post) and it has been quite a process. So, needless to say, posting on the blog was put on the back burner. Well, I am happy to say that it seems we are back in business (fingers-crossed). Most importantly – we would not even be nearly this far without the awesome […]
Ben from the Instigator Blog alerted his readers to an upcoming event called Blog Action Day. This is one day per year where bloggers everywhere use their blogs to bring attention to a common issue. This year’s Blog Action Day is set to take place on October 15, 2007 and the theme is “The Environment”. […]
We are still having comment issues with the blog. Last weekend, Garry Conn, who offers plenty of awesome Blog Tips on his blog, was gracious enough to take time from his busy schedule to look into it for me (thanks, Garry!). Basically, there is probably a single line of code that is causing the problem, […]
Duplicate content on blogs is usually a big issue if left unaddressed. By properly using your robots.txt file, you can significantly cut down on your blog’s duplicate content. For example, if you make a blog post that is relative to multiple categories, that very same content will appear in multiple places on your blog. Let’s […]
Most of our blog traffic comes from Google and other Search Engines but, oddly enough, the “Search” function on our blog gets quite a workout. So, I decided to post some of the most popular searches and maybe you will see something that grabs your attention. For example, topics related to good passwords are always […]
