Organic Search or Paid Links?
I was at a networking lunch yesterday with the Business Leads Exchange Group, it’s a wonderful group that I recommend that you check out if you are near The ‘Burgh. I’ve been going every month for quite a while now and much of my time is spent catching up with members that I know and […]
Small Site Change
I recently removed the cursive fonts from my website. When I first designed it I thought the script fonts made the site more elegant looking, but I have come to realize that it makes the site look much too different depending on the browser that you’re using and which fonts that you have in your […]
Twitter Is A New Hotbed For Spammers
Because Twitter is almost all public pages, as opposed to sites like facebook being mostly private pages hid behind your user id and password, most anyone can read your tweets. Spammers who are always looking for new and inovative ways to harvest their “victims” have realized this and are now picking up a huge number […]

You May Be A Spammer And Not Even Know It
Got quite a few bounced emails today from some spammer who is forging my domain name on their crap. I’m guessing it’s probably someone who got my email address from one of my Craigslist replies. What a pain in the butt! All of the IP addresses on the bounces seem to be from somewhere in […]
More Cool New Stuff For My Android Phone
T-Mobile hasn’t even pushed out my “Cupcake” android update yet (I’m hoping next week) and I’m seeing new cool stuff that’s already previewing for the update after that. Hopefully one of them will help the battery life of my G1, but I’m pretty much resigned to the fact that it’s not improving until my next […]

Here’s something just for some fun on a Friday. (Not responsible if you get caught playing at work) A very funny musical cartoon called Worst Slide Story by Walt Handelsman on the Newsday site is a great parody of the economy based on the musical West Side Story. I loved it and I think you […]
Commenting On Other Blogs The Right Way
Yesterday I wrote about getting links to your site. One of the ways to do that is by commenting on other blogs. The only problem with that is if your comments are off the topic or completely self serving they will probably be deleted and never see the light of day. Worse yet, they can […]
Getting Inbound Links
Making your site have more value with search engines has always included inbound links. These links from other sites to your pages have always been considered a “vote” for the value of your page. Why would some site owner link to your page(s) and risk sending a visitor from their site to yours unless they […]
Craigslist Translation Guide
As I’ve written before I follow Craigslist’s Computer Gigs and Jobs sections in several cities in order to find new customers for my business. This usually entails sorting through quite a bit of crap. So many people are looking for free work under the label of “internship” and most of them would never consider offering […]
