I just received an email from the Administrator of Pro Real Estate Network informing me that their security had been compromised and that I should log in and change my passwords. According to their post, employees of REW logged in to the Pro Real Estate Network forum by using the password of a Moderator who [...]
New DoFollow Plugin
We’ve had a lot of great response to our DoFollow OPML project. While we work on compiling the list, I thought I would go ahead and release a new DoFollow plugin. We have been playing with several different plugins lately. Of all the ones we could find, we like the original by Kimmo Souminen the [...]
The PropertyTown Real Estate Project
I’m excited to announce the launch of a new project that has pretty much consumed all of the last 5 months for us. PropertyTown is our new marketing platform built exclusively for real estate professionals. Project Background I spent a good chunk of ‘06 and the first half of ‘07 doing some consulting work for [...]
Link Whores and Liquor Thieves
I while back, I received some swag in the mail from SEO Shirts. However, being the extremely lazy blogger that I am, I never got a round to giving them the link they wanted for the free shirt. So now I’m playing catch up. Just for the record, I’m a big fan of “links for [...]
The Do Follow OPML Project
One of the things that happened over the summer while I was on my blogging hiatus was the launch of the “Do Follow” movement. For those that haven’t heard about it, it’s basically a group of bloggers who have realized that having comments and trackback links automatically default to “No Follow” isn’t really a good [...]
Toolbar Hysteria – It Isn’t Really a Penalty
Here are some posts from Rand, Andy and Daniel on today’s toolbar hysteria. What I find most interesting about all the blog posts popping up is the constant use of the word penalty. To me, that just isn’t an accurate description; at least not in the sense that anything has changed recently. Google has stated [...]
SEO Vanity Contest Winner
I know I’m way behind announcing the winner, but I didn’t think of the fact that I’d have to provide some explanation for each answer. (I should have never done 50) Anyway, the grand prize winner was Kris Farmer from RazorGator. Kris has been a regular listener of the extremely irregular Rockstar show, and also [...]
What Questions Should I Ask MSN?
I was actually surprised that I was invited to the Searchification event MSN is throwing tomorrow because I haven’t been much of a Live Search supporter over the last year or so. As someone who was involved in the early stages of the MSN project (even before the original Search Champs) I ended up being [...]
Today’s Rockstar Show – SEO Vanity Contest Hints
Todd and I just finished recording today’s SEO Rockstar show. (We had planned on doing a live show, but we are both heading out today to attend MSN’s Searchifcation event). The show will be broadcast today at 4:00 pm PST. At the end of the show, we spent some time giving out some good [...]
Looking for a Steady WordPress Designer
We’ve been doing a ton of custom WordPress development lately. Right now, I have 5 or 6 projects sitting on my desk that need custom themes, and several more coming up next month. If you are a CSS/XHTML Guru who can handle cranking out 10-15 custom designs for us on a monthly basis, give me [...]
