Barry is dropping hints again..

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

After the success of the barry tag also know as noydir tag to remove yahoo directory titles more info here

http://www.seohome.co.uk/2007/03/01/noydir-is-here/ 

Barry’s new crusade is to get “more” of the new google webmaster tools “link” section …

 He’s not asking for much hehehehe

  • PageRank score
  • The anchor text of a link
  • Which links are nofollowed
  • Are the links still live
  • Which links are images
  • It would be great in a way but would it really make a difference to an SEO ?

    What is the colour of a word ?

    Monday, March 5th, 2007

     

    I’ve had this book marked for about 2 yrs now and just seen it in my fav’s

    This is a little ap that a google engineer wrote that works out the colour of a keyword..

    E.g. sea = blue..

    But its fun to see what it comes up with:

    shit or scheisse (german)
    by chefkoch
    When you type in “shit” as keyword the
    color is (like expected) brown

    but when you enter “scheisse” (the german word for shit) your result is greenish ..

    What do we learn?

     

    Loads more comments on the site but the ap is worth downloading and having a play with.. Why not try your name hehehee ;)

    MyBlogLog going to get you banned from Adsense/ypn?

    Thursday, March 1st, 2007

     

    A few threads and blog posts in regards to the fact that mybloglog tracks clicks inlcuding clicks on adsense may get you banned..

    As of 5 minutes ago I’ve removed MyBlogLog from my own personal blog. My Adsense account is too valuable to risk, and I’m outraged that MyBlogLog was stealing this data from my site. 

    more info here

     The bottom line is that MyBlogLog is tracking AdSense and YPN clicks too. (Update: They do show you ads clicks in MBL Pro. Not having Pro does NOT stop the tracking from loading.) Who else gets this data?
