Blog traffic: A review of a mini-blog-storm
Blogstorms are relative. If you normally get a dozen visitors, the first time you get 200 in a day might be exciting. If you normally get 10,000 visitors in a day, 250,000 is where you might say, “cool!”. I got to experience my first bonafide blogstorm last week, and want to review. Before I do, […]

Just thought this quote was apropos. It’s a Google-world, we just live in it. Back to your normal scheduling.

Is this proof that even a blind squirrel can find a nut?
I was having a hard time deciding if I should go with the title you see or go with “Social Media Eating Google’s Lunch”
In the end, I went for whimsy.
Also, comparing search and social media is really an apples-to-oranges comparison. There’s a lot of people that are proclaiming social media as a competitor to Google, […]

Google’s Hypocrisy: The villagers are sharpening the knives
This was a good week for exposing the hypocrisy of Google and A-list bloggers!
You have Ron over at Linkworth doing some serious competitive research on how Google sells pagerank AND site reviews. I’m not going to steal his thunder, but the post is a follow up to his original post about Google selling pagerank. […]

Boosting RSS Subscribers: One Unethical Method & One Great Method

Damn, that man’s alerts work fast!
I argued that the number of RSS subscribers should be included in any metric that is being utilized to describe “Reach” or “Influence”. Ted countered that they are working on how to […]

Free blogger business cards
Wow, these blogger business cards really surprised me - I hadn’t thought to try something like this, and it’s totally unique and fits perfectly with blogging. I love the customizable tag cloud you can put on the card, and the inclusion of the ubiquitous RSS chicklet was a great idea.

My Problem With RealRank
Disclosure: As of this writing, I have blogs ranked 736, 2648, 3283 in RealRank.
By now, anyone reading this post is interested enough in such matters that they already know what RealRank is, and why Izea/PPP has developed it. So, I won’t regurgitate too much.

Great customer service from a web host? Who knew?
Sorry I’ve been gone for several days, but I’ve been trying to run down the intermittent errors that were occurring across my domains. I thought it might have been related to some combination of incompatibilities with plugins, themes, and Wordpress 2.3, but nothing I tried made a difference. All the research and forums I checked […]
