Knol

Dan Horton SEO — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 10:30:25 +0000

Google Knol gets its debut. It’s about time Wikipedia had a competitor especially one that gives topic specific articles by leading experts. Monetisation looks key to the Knols too allowing authors to run ads with the articles and in addition high levels of prominence to the author. Such highlighting of authors is bound to get people noticed. Levels of success could be down to Knol working in conjunction with Wiki.

Did I just hear the sky installer correctly, if I run my SKY HD in 720p it will most probably burn out the box and tv.. great start to the day !

Threats and abuse bloggers have to take

DaveN — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 08:06:16 +0000

You certainly have to be thick skinned in this industry, every so often I get a torrent of abuse, mostly I just delete it, some I store, some I have had to report to the police, but a recent batch of comments that did not get published was the most interesting to date, a few sentences of the normal stuff I’m going to kick your head in and stamp on your balls, blah blah, then what shocked me the most was :

f*ck you, you gay c*nt,.. I’m even going to show you how gay you are I’m going to stick my cock inside your fat arse and video your moaning so that everyone can see your gay …

Just not sure how to react to this, maybe try lube from on ..

Flipswap

Dan Horton SEO — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:43:54 +0000

Flipping phone woes…. why not swap it out with Flipswap ?

We just had a call from one of our SEO clients who was advising us they would be late for their appointment this afternoon. The reason for this coincides nicely with Dave’s previous post on the HTC Diamond Touch. The laptop they needed was back in their hotel room, simple you may think but not when your hotel room key card has been placed in the same pocket as your HTC Diamond. The phone rendered the magnetic hotel door key card useless, leaving the client calling reception from the hallway unable to get back into their room.

Im beginning to wonder if both Dave and the client shouldn’t be looking into Flipswap

Im not sure the phone deserves a “second life” but surely trading is the way to go rather than just placing it in a drawer somewhere. Flipswap enables you to get paid for your old phone.

HTC Touch Diamond Bad points

1) it’s does not delete emails off the mail server when you empty deleted items. So when you get back to the office you still have to collect and delete the emails again..

2) it also destroys the information stored on Credit Cards and Room Keys.. just found out why!

Heads Up People watch your reputation

Only out of respect for Matt Cutts as a friend, I have played nice I didn’t do what I first thought about. Most people can easily setup a monitoring script, so when I see Tinyurl and loads of other redirectors like bit.ly, I get a notification, and then decide what to do:

if refer = bit.ly/2vmSAz

send TO 2 GIRLS ONE CUP ( NOT SAVE FOR WORK )

Else

SEND TO Davidnaylor article

EndIF

How many people would have wondered what the hell Matt was doing sending people to a porn site or worse :)

URL redirectors can always be bounced on again :) so my tip is use this feature in tinyurl

At least the people can see where you are sending them !!!

Christian Bale is arrested

DaveN — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 16:59:26 +0000

This is all over the UK at the moment the fact that Christian Bale was arrested in London.Although no one knew it when he attended the London premiere of Batman - The Dark Knight which I’m off to watch soon :)

But apparently he assaulted his mother and sister the night before. I always said you can’t choose your family ,, lol

btw I have been going to the cinema loads recently really like “Wanted” and the 3D version of “Journey to the Centre of the Earth”, but if you want a good laugh go and see “Kung Fu Panda”

Google’s new Feature or Bug

DaveN — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 16:36:24 +0000

Recently I blogged about maybe links aren’t so important any more, I didn’t want to really give out the example I had found, but Richard Young and Myself where chatting about this early today, and I feel that google has created a Time Machine Bot :

ok let me try to explain what I mean you will most probably punch holes in this one .. lol

In the real world companies that have traded for many many years build up a natural authority, I’m sure that there are many industries that we don’t know anything about but could recognise a brand, in the UK Singer is a massive sewing machine brand , Singer has been around for 150 years !, but I don’t do sewing I have never SEO’ed a sewing website but I’m brand aware God only knows why lol

possible hole punch, So why don’t singer rank for sewing machines .. ( www.singermachines.co.uk ).. if my theory is correct 150 years of trading and a good aged web presence it should .. so you tell me why it doesn’t ;)

but what about Cheese http://www.teddingtoncheese.co.uk been on the internet since 1999 look at what they looked like in 1999

or Fish take http://www.tropicalfishcentre.co.uk/ look what their site looked like 2000
and finally Bras take http://www.amplebosom.com/ they have been around since 2000

Now Im not saying that these sites shouldn’t be there, in fact anyone who has been trading online for 8 years plus, should have authority of some kind, maybe google just dipped into the past and found sites that where authoritative in their day and are still trading online today.. it’s just a thought ..
