DO NO EVIL!
So proclaims Google in all its glory. But I noticed some strange behavior in the SERPs while doing a search on seemingly a very innocent product Logitech Z Cinema 2.1 - and the bolded terms caught my attention.
What you will see is that the number “6″ is bolded in the URLs of [...]

Google Bolding Letters Not in Search Query
TDI in practice
I recently finished the 4 Hour Work Week book by Timothy Ferris and thought I will put my readings to practice - and see if it will work for me. I’m definitely not working 4 hours per week, yet, but the other idea that caught my attention was coming up with a Total Daily Income [...]
Bad Investing Linkbait
The Bad
I think Mr. Freedland has had enough things said about him here and here over the past week. You see comments like
Wow, the writer suffered an 8% short term loss and panicked ..What courage, what conviction,This guy actually has readers and listeners ?
They must be deaf and dumb mutes..
and
Robert, I know where you’re coming [...]
PriceGrabber Videos Live
That’s right. There are times when you feel proud of the company you work for, no matter what anyone else says, that you just have to throw in a shameless plug here and there.
Today, PriceGrabber.com launched 3 videos on YouTube.com - and, while it’s not the controversial linkbait type, or the crazy Diet Coke and [...]
Culinary Travel Tours
A good friend of mine sent me a website that I thought was an excellent idea for a vacation! The idea behind this 6-night 7-day culinary tour is to experience the best the Côte de Granit Rose region can offer. Spending the week at one of the oldest 18th century chateau in Brittany, you will [...]
Search Marketing Meltdown
This morning I read an article from marketingcharts.com and one of the key findings reminded me how similar search engine marketing is to the stock market - bear with me. But first, here’s the finding that I will reference.
Compared with 2007, paid search is getting a bigger proportion of online lead generation budgets even though [...]
Recession Survival Skills
Let’s face it - the economy is not getting any better anytime soon. The numbers are written on the wall. Signs are all over. The stimulus check program, while not a miserable failure, didn’t exactly prove to boost anything. Families who received this extra $1,000 to $2,000 probably used it to pay for gas, rent [...]
WTF Robert Freedland
Let me first be clear, I am in no way calling Robert Freedland stupid. But hey, the title caught your attention didnt it
I have never claimed to be an investing genius, mogul, guru, whatever you call those people that sit at the penthouses of skyscrapers and invest hundreds of millions in the stock [...]
Yahoo! Just Doesn’t Get It
The office is buzzing with the NBA finals - I decided to check back on my favorite (decreasing) sports site at Sports.Yahoo.com for the latest news. The other day, a co-worker told me he managed to sell 2 of his tickets for over $1,000 each. As if that’s not enough, I heard on the radio [...]
Wireless in California
You heard about it, now it’s officially here. California has passed a law banning all wireless cell phone usage while driving - unless using a hands-free device like a bluetooth. Beginning July 1st of 2008 we will, or should, see no one holding a phone to their ear while driving on California highways - about [...]
