Monitoring Incoming Links
One of the most underrated aspects of Search Engine Optimization is in the act of making the most from already established incoming links. Too much emphasis is placed on getting links; as if every SEO wakes up in the morning and turns into a link building machine.

The Google Year in Review (2008)
Number 1 with a (lack of) bang: CHROME
Wowey wow wow wow as Christopher Walken would say. There is a lot I love about Chrome. The first thing that stands out is the giant display size. Thanks to it’s ‘omnibar’ which combines pretty much 3 menubars into 1 you find yourself not staring [...]
Economy hits Google
Rumor has it Google has been laying off hundreds of ‘employees’ since August. I use the quotes because they technically were contractors and not actual employees, meaning the reason you haven’t heard about them is due to the loop hole of contractors being an ‘operational expense’.
The mystique surrounding Google as being this untouchable super-company [...]

Microsoft’s adCenter’s Fall Feature Release
I didn’t write about Microsoft sporting a new logo when I noticed a few days back because to me that’s not newsworthy. However, Microsoft, it appears, has undergone more than just a face lift sporting a new logo! On a side note, what an ugly logo. Not sure who designed this but [...]
