Quote from the above article.. 

On April 4, for instance, user 14162375, the melancholy Portuguese-American in Florida, seems to have passed out on the keyboard at 6.20pm, when he asked, suddenly, “llllfkkgjnnvjjfokrb” then “vvvvbmkmjk” and “vvglhkitopppfoppr”. An hour later he had recovered enough to search for variations on his wife’s name - he thought she might have moved to New England. On the evening of April 16, matters came to a head. “My cheating wife,” he typed; and then, five times, “I want to kill myself,” and then “I want to make my wife suffer,” followed quickly by “Kill my wifes mistress,” “My wifes ass,” “A cheating wife”. Two days after that he was back looking for audio surveillance and bugging equipment and four weeks later he seemed to have cheered up and was looking for motorcycle insurance. 

 

I don’t who to feel sorry for the wife or the husband.. I noticed the guy had “erection problems” too…

Amazon astore for the uk…

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

 

Last week I tired the new astore for UK amazon affiliates..

So what is astore?
Well basically you can create a store in a matter of minutes.

I took me 10-15 mins to set up the store in the colour that match my main reffering site and to add the our logo…

First steps on this system is to  build up handpicked product for your astore homepage..
Once the homepage has been created you can move on to sub pages with selections via the normal amazon method (keywords,cat,search results) 

 I think this an amazing move by amazon as it costs the affiliate £0 as everything is hosted by amazon, but amazon is going to double if not tripple in size…

Here is a good example of a astore..

boohoo

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

I really enjoy this book…

boo.com ? Are you old enough to remember the .com boom ? ;)

boo was an amazing example of what was going on in the .com boom.. This was all happening right next to my office in W1 london.. (I go to same places for coffee)…

One word of warning is it a the type of book that you should read in very short bursts.. The read is so easy and to little repetative for a constant reading….

Not a tech book but more a story of real life in the .com world

The cover of the book tells the story.. “$135 million in 18months

 First I heard about the update was from the yahoo blog http://www.ysearchblog.com/archives/000351.html

 Today its finally come up in all my serps..

So far this update seems to of switched to authority site taking over many of the serps.. I’m seeing a lot of amazon, kelkoo and alikes in the top 10.. Not great imho..

I’m seeing a big sift towards URL including page name and sub domain.. Not crazy on this but hey.. someones going to be happy..

Ebay is topping quite a few Serps.. Searching yahoo.co.uk i’m even seeing ebay.com #1 and ebay.co.uk #2 for generic keywords..

I’ll keep looking..

 

A fun search is “fishing” #9 is worldofwarcraft… :D  need I say more….

php redirect.. Make sure you only have the one homepage!

Friday, August 25th, 2006

This is the first post in this section but trust me this is going to be a massive section covering php/asp .htaccess vbulleltin phpbb and bespoke redirecting - 301 for SEO..

 So i’m starting off with some simple php that redirects the index.php to / of the main domain.. This then stops the like of google, yahoo and msn indexing www.seohome.co.uk and www.seohome.co.uk/index.php

So at the very top of the page your need to add the following php

$site_base_url ‘http://www.seohome.co.uk’;
function 
assertProperURL($site_base_url$proper_url)
{
$request_uri $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$current_url $site_base_url $request_uri;
if (
$current_url != $proper_url) {
header(“HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently”); 
header(‘Location: ’ $proper_url);
}
}
assertProperURL($site_base_url$site_base_url ‘/’true);
 

note: you have to make sure that this is only on the index.php file and not on any other file.. If you added this script to another file then it would redirect to the top domain…
