I came across three different posts today talking about spam on Craigslist. What I found most interesting about all the stories is the fact that no one seemed to get the SEO connection. The increase in affiliate related spam everyone’s seeing is due in large part to Google’s infatuation with the Craigslist domain. Google routinely [...]

Last St. Patrick’s Day, I had a couple of cocktails and wrote a post called “Stupid Things We Say.” That post contained some examples of really stupid press releases that were distributed through PR Web by companies in the SEO space. At the time I wrote it, I was just trying to kill some time [...]

Can Jimmy Wales Really Kill Google? I doubt it. But it’s been fun reading some of the ridiculous posts that are all over the web right now.

My kids have been bitten by the YouTube bug. I’m sure this is just the first of many stellar video productions to come. They make me so proud…

I can’t believe I gave into this….. I know there are quite a few people who already know this stuff, (everyone who was at my birthday party and got to watch the video my wife made) but I figure that there’s enough that don’t for it to count.

Are we really having this conversation? This post is a great example of what happens when you are under the pressure to blog a dozen times a day. What should have been a one-line post that said “stop whining and get back to work” Has turned into a big “controversy” and a long-winded discussion about [...]

If you haven’t heard this story yet, don’t worry. I’m sure it will be all over the place by tomorrow morning. I wouldn’t even be surprised if it made tomorrow’s evening news.
