Oh the sweet taste of freedom, the idea that you can sit and relax and let your inner most creative ideas take over and create something beautiful, what could be better right?
You are the professional, I’ll leave the creative choices to you
Yeah Right.
I tell you what, here is what they are really saying is:
I am too damn lazy to brief you on what I really want, so taking into considerationt he fact that I am paying you, who knows, you might have extraterrestrial telepathic abilities and use them to find out what I want.
Oh oh and of course don’t worry, if you don’t get things right, you can always start again from scratch, but hurry up, as you have some time to gain considering you just wasted my precious time with your..crazy insane ALIEN ideas!
.
For god’s sake!!!!
There is no such thing as total create freedom, PERIOD!
Either you know what you want or you don’t. If you don’t know what you want that’s fine, let’s try and figure that out before I/we commit time to create something out of thin air.
Now that that’s out of my system! Hi guys, great to be posting again!
This is something that has been bugging me for quite some time.
Over and over again I see stories reaching Diggs home page that simply redirect to a 404 Page or a “bandwidth quota exceeded” message.
Hosting isn’t that expensive you know? As a matter of fact it’s much harder to make it on digg’s homepage then it is to get a reliable Hosting service at a low price.
Traffic is Money!!
At least for some of us. If you’ve made Digg’s homepage, and couldn’t care less about the traffic, or just can’t be bothered to pay 10 bucks for a decent hosting account, please don’t hesitate to contact me, I’ll gladly provide you with proper hosting facilities that will accommodate your content and my ads.
Dear oh dear, almost two months since I’ve posted.
My programmer Cody just finished fixing some of the problems we were having with the URL query strings and everything seems to be finally stable.
It has also been a very busy couple of weeks, September has proven to be an absolute hell! It’s great to have new business coming in, I just wish things were more spread out through the year.
It’s great to be posting again, and I’m going to get back to my usual blogging rhythm.
That’s right boys and girls, Zinc is toxic, it’s not one of those wussy supplements that people like myself take on a daily basis. *Not disputing my manhood of course… Man can take dietary supplements..right? *cough* let’s move on shall we?
I need to take a zinc supplement for a deficiency that caused by my Thyroid problem, so today having gotten up a bit later then usual I didn’t have time to take my breakfast, so seeing as I had to take supplements, what the hell! Bottoms up! 50mm of Zinc in the belly!
NOT very smart! 30 minutes later it was as if I was taken by the black plague and there was nothing that could help me! nausea, Diarrhea, awful abdominal pain, dizziness, short black out periods (although that is not that unusual to me! :D), shortness of breath, among other lovely symptoms! So it seems that Zinc is so toxic, that when you take it with an empty stomach the toxicity sticks to your stomach’s walls, had taken a higher dose I would be officially poisoned.
Dear oh dear, seems that we are experiencing the same issues we did last time with the Blog posts. Thank you for reporting this Robert, we are going to take a look at it right away.
That’s right guys. I want to make this a tradition in my blog. During the last weekend of every month I will be giving away two domains. (Friday and Saturday)
The only cache is that you will be required to post an interesting/useful comment in context with the month’s topic. The most interesting/useful answer/resource will win the domain.
Only the first 15 answers will be considered.
AuctionAds users are reporting severe downtime as well as a drastic drop in revenue.
My client’s to whome I have referenced Actionads are also reporting the same problems. It’s too early to have this sort of problems, if the application wasn’t scalable, why not just postpone the activation of the accounts like a sensible company would? (Ex. Google & analytics accounts)
For those of us who couldn’t be there, I decided to do a coverage of all the video content that I can find from the San Jose Search Engine Strategies conference. Since the content is not mine, I will naturally give all of the credit to the content owners who went through the trouble of documenting the conference and post it on their respective youtube channels.
In case you have any footage you would like to share with me, please feel free to contact me, all the material you send me will be credited to you.
Lets begin with a fantastic footage of the exposition itself, it’s a bit long but worth it. I don’t know the exact date that the video was recorded, so if anyone has any info feel free to post it.

Google is watching your every move, don’t you think you can fool the eyes of the Bot! So buying your way to the top, are we? It’s just a matter of time before you get caught. Riiiiiiiiiiight.
A little word of advice to the big G, Begin by sorting out your first page results, and then worry about what Webmasters are up to.
Search for Web Marketing at Google.pt: (The Red arrow is pointing to my companies website whilst the blue arrow is pointing to the site that is “clustering” the results page).
Is a simple condition statement too complex for the algorithm to handle?
IF RESULTS page 1 already contains Page A should I display Page A twice? What about three times? Heck, why not go all the way and cluster my own search results page with a single website?? that should be fun!
I don’t have a lot to complain about since my company is leading the SERPS with a single results. But for the love of God, this is becoming ridiculous, to the point where I’m having trouble explaining to my clients that Google is a good reliable system to invest in.
Maybe the Adwords Learning Center could add a new Sales pitch tutorial on how to lead with questions like: “why is that site occupying three slots in the first page? Why should I invest in PPC when I can get 30% of the top page slots with my website?
Please note that I have nothing against the website’s webmaster, I personally know the owner of the company in question and kudos for him for the fantastic results, but it’s impossible to stay quiet when you see one of your top business search queries being handled by Goolgle the way it is. Sort it out!
Now here is a creative way of kicking the crap out of your competition.
So Google’s Brad Fitzpatrick published some notes about how Google is going to develop a system that will aggregate the data from all of the most prominent Social Network sites. Note that we are not talking about an end-user product, meaning that the purpose of this system is to provide a tool that will generate graph data from all of the network sites without having to login seperatly to each account. Sounds a bit confusing right?
That’s the idea! Of course that there is a hidden agenda here, and doesn’t take a rocket scientist to uncover it.
Imagine not having to re-invite your friends every time you register on a new Social Networking platform since this centralized system will aggregate all of this data for you! and what about only needing to login to your Google account to have all of this data at your mercy? Ah the joy of Google contr…I mean simplicty.
Supposedly, Google is negotiating with Facebook and they have shown a lot of enthusiasm.
The goal is not to replace Facebook. In fact, most people I’ve talked to love Facebook, just want a bit more of their already-public data to be more easily accessible, and want to mitigate site owners’ fears about any single data/platform lock-in. Early talks with Facebook about participating in this project have been incredibly promising.
If you have a centralized system that aggregates all of the data in one platform, the natural progression will be that the traffic will divert from the independent data feeders to the centralized system.
For the life of me I cannot understand how any of the Social Networks can find this exciting or promising in any way, unless of course there is plenty going on that we don’t know about.
This year me and my partner decided not to close the office in August, since there seemed to be a lot of action going on, Lot’s of deals being negotiated, internal developments, and other stuff as well.
I can safely tell you that this is the last year we are doing this. Most of the deals didn’t close simply because the prospect decision makers were on vacation.
Everywhere we turned people were off work, every time we tried to get things done we would get he same answer “come back september”.
People looked at us like there was something seriously wrong with us. “… but…it’s August!!”
For God’s sake, I know it’s August, so ****** what?!?
