 Record sales of vista have created record profit for M$

The world’s largest software maker said net profit in the three months to 31 March was $4.93bn (£2.47bn) or 50 cents per share, up from $2.98bn last year.

 But still no link: command? 

The old thing about the live.com link command is the fact that it returns a blank page.. No ad, no sorry message, nothing .. odd..

More info on the sales here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6598025.stm

Today was a day I’d been waiting for (but forgot about)..

I really had it in the back of my mind… Didn’t know the date until today when almost every national news paper in the UK covered the story..

What is it.. Well Can’t tell you that yet as it making a PPC killing Not 1 person is bidding on this k/w so I’m getting at the bargain price of 2p per click / $0.04 …

So here is story..  About 2 months ago my girl friend found a item in a mag that she liked and but it up on her site.. After a few days the page was indexed it ranked just under the actual item site #2 or #3 on google..

Traffic was pretty steady until about a month ago when its went up by 5 times in one day and stuck at that level.. But at the same time along came the competition..

Now the page is around #11 top of page 2 and returning still a fare amount of traffic as its top 5 in yahoo ..

A month ago the traffic increased on this term again so I added it to a social bookmarking site… That site now ranks in the top 5 and returns ok amount of traffic..

The comp is now the likes of ebay gumtree.. And soon evey news paper under the sun… I posted in a few forums and other blogs to help that site today but is it too little.. Just how long does and news story last in the minds google/yahoo searchers..

So due to the comp being old and bigger than me I had the idea to bid on the k/w after noticing no one else had touch it today.. And I’m hitting almost 20% CRT a nice yellow background .. 100% targetted ad txt as its only for the 1 “keyword” and no other ads…

Fingers crossed this one lasts ..

I posting on forums and blog how seo = 301 …

So last few day i’ve spotted some dup content issues which i’ve been fixing with a new 301 script that check the case of a query making sure that only the 1 case is ever indexed..

What goes wrong:

page.asp?case=HELLO

vs

page.asp?case=hello

Both the above would return the same page..

thesku=Request.ServerVariables(”QUERY_STRING”)
nothesku=Left(Right(thesku, Len(thesku)-5),1)

thesku=Left(Right(thesku, Len(thesku)-4),1000)

nothesku=(ASC(nothesku))

if (nothesku>96)then
thesku=UCase(thesku)

‘you can change the below to whatever you page name is.. 

thesku=”page.asp?case=”&thesku

Response.Write(”change to uppercase”)

end if

Response.Write(thesku)

 

The above checks the Ascii value for the first char and if lower will write out the page location in upper case.. By adding a simple 301 redirect to this its will pass the value to the correct no dup page..

Problems and bugs with the above..

It only check the first letter.. now for me this is fine but you can of course loop and check each letter..

I just logged into my GF’s adsense account to see how she is doing today..

I looked at yesterday and today and though my eyes or browser cache is playing tricks on me…

 The amount were the same… ahhhh scared..

 Really odd…

Its only 10:40 am in the UK so hopefully she’ll have a good day..

Yesterday she had 2 click which returned 1cent.. never seen them that low before.. At first I though it had to be site targetting but nop.. contextual..

Fingers crossed for her today

Bit of fun imho..
