Google Labs has been a playground for search engine optimizers and marketers
for a long time. Google Labs offer a wide variety of searcher toys that are
not quite ready to be unveiled on the main Google site, and some developments
eventually become a significant part of Google.

Some of the not-quite-ready-for-prime-time players here are:

• Google Transit
• Accessible Search - Web search for the visually Impaired
• Google Extensions for Firefox
• Google Spreadsheets
• Google Notebook
• Google Trends
• Google Related Links
• Google Mars
• Google Page Creator
• Google Dashboard Widgets for Mac
• Google Reader
• Google Web Accelerator
• Google Ride Finder
• Google Suggest
• Froogle Mobile US | Froogle Mobile UK Improved!
• Google Sets

All are fun to play with and each one is worth the one time registration.

Bytefx. A fast, lightweight and crossbrowser javascript library with some usefull and common special effect for your page elements. I believe all are open source and are easy to use lightweight applications. It’s a page well worth checking out.

If you are like me you have had some trouble with the float property in css. It seems like every browser gives a different view of it.
Ed Eliot’s article Methods for Containing Floats lists CSS rules to force a container to clear it’s floats. It seems to me like it could be a great help to us struggling with this.

September 19 has been declared “International Talk Like A Pirate Day”. How do I know that? I read it on Matt Cutts blog.

If you don’t know who Matt Cutts is, he is one of the first employees at Google. He also writes a blog that for us in the Search Engine Optimization business makes him the face (and the unofficial word) of Google. You can see his blog Matt Cutts: Gadgets, Google, and SEO, here. Matt’s blog is read by a huge number of web designers and search engine optimization enthusiasts. He wrote about “International Talk Like a Pirate Day” as a joke, but I don’t think of it as a joke. I think it’s a brilliant promotion move, even if it didn’t start out that way.

While I was searching for tools to help me with this endeavor I came across this page called Free video editing software list for all platforms. I have tried most of the ones for Windows and they all seem to work very well. This list seems to be well researched and complete.

Here’s an article by Shawn Campbell called The A to Z Guide to Getting Website Traffic. He gives 26 of the most basic, but also most effective tips for getting to people to your site. It probably should be called The 25 Ways of Getting website Traffic because it’s not alphabetical and he repeats “write a new page every 2-3 days” twice. It’s still a great post and I recommend that anyone who’s interested in promoting a website read it.
