Hi, welcome to my blog, please consider subscribingPretty big news from Latitude, Google are to allow gambling ads on UK Adwords!
Due to recent changes in legislation laws surrounding online gambling advertising, Google had decided as of tomorrow to allow gambling PPC adverts to be shown in the UK. They have been speaking direct to clients [...]
Here’s an interesting little thing.
This button (fig. 1b) will move the result to the top of the page and add this orange marker (fig. 1a) next to it so you can easily recognize it. The result(s) you promote will appear at the top whenever you search for the same keyword(s) in [...]
Very soon, you’ll no longer have to confess to being a sinner in order to use Googles re-inclusion or reconsideration request ( I suspect it’ll be called the take me off the naughty list next week, being xmas and all that)
This is a good thing, a small thing, but a good thing nonetheless. Anything that [...]
Maki wrote a good blog post today that for me spoke about marketing and creating things of value that have the efffect of creating converted users; that’s, people who will buy into whatever it is you do or are trying to achieve.
Be it via a comment, a hit of a subscription button, an add to [...]
Not another paid links post (groan)
The whole paid links are evil for Google idea has been around for some time now. This isn’t a rehash of those. I want to pass comment on how lately that there’s been a lot of Google ill feeling going on, with an increasing number of prominent people speaking [...]
I was going to post this in a comment at Sphinn, but decided to blog it instead.
It related to Google and how they apply penalties to sites who talk about or do things in ways they don’t like. Some people think Google doesn’t penalise for paid links, I disagree, as the evidence seems to suggest [...]
David over at science text alerted me to a story that I missed regarding Google and some strange accounts of ‘indexed’ websites that don’t exist installing malaware and viri on Google user machines.
Some searches (very specific phrases, and I won’t list any of them right now - Google knows [...]

What do you think? What factors should, in your opinion be counted most in any algo. Is there too much emphasis on link pop? Are authority scores poorly arrived at? What, if anything would you do that would improve it?
Before I say too much else I just wanted to say that generally in most cases I think it unnecessary to be too specific when highlighting the failings and flaws of others. It’s too easy to point fingers and say, oh look at how crap so and so is, or look at [...]
Matt tells us all about the new Google backlinks feature in the webmaster console.
I had a little look at this and must confess, think its pretty cool in an ‘ooh this is interesting kind of way’.
The numbers aside, what I really liked was how it enables you to drill down to individual pages and see [...]
Brad wrote an interesting piece today which got me thinking about the topic of linking out, authority scores, pagerank leakage and all those old chestnuts.
Lots of papers out there on PageRank and theories and counter theories on how linking out can effect your PR adversely/positively and all that, so I’m not going to rehash any [...]
If you’ve ever launched a new website, especially since 2005, then you’ll know that it can take quite some time to be found for your target kw’s and phrases within the search engines.This is a little look at Google and how it treats new domains and how trust and authority are bestowed from parent domains [...]
Reading this blog here from oilman got me thinking about SEO and how people value their worth in terms of what they charge for their services and how some of what he is saying about others and their denigrating what we do can impact upon us negatively.
Putting to one side all those idiots who say [...]
Graywolf blogged about some Disney Blog getting de-indexed for hidden text.
Seems that some blogging platforms/cms’s have issues that could get your site removed for web spamming by inserting text that is hidden.
One commenter there had this to say:
Some freely available Wordpress templates (specifically from blogthemes.com)contain hidden links from the designer linking to certain [...]
Say yes to Blogging
So, Ive blogged now for a little over a week. Ok, so Ive blogged in the past on other topics, but not as consitently or comprehensively; at least in the sense of making posts longer than 20 or 30 words and posting everyday writing unique and semi compelling stuff!
Why [...]
This could be kinda cool for publishers. Caydel reports that Google is beta testing keyword based ad filtering. Publishers will be able to input negative keywords so that low priced cpm or cpc ads won’t show…
Hmmn, interesting eh? How many times have you seen ads that made you think what’s all that about then, a [...]
Easy come easy go…
It’s no news to say that the days of easy rankings with easy commissions are long gone. With some search engines, it just no longer works. Anyone, and lots are, can whack up a DB or add a feed from some central source. It’s child play, and from a search engine viewpoint its just [...]
I was just over at Matt Cutts’s blog reading his thoughts on some of the challenges that he sees Google generally facing through 007. He talked about Googlers in general almost suggesting that they were of the same pod, well not directly perhaps, but it was a thought that occured to me; and kinda got me [...]
