This week I’ve seen some talk about people linking to IP’s ..

Now it used to be far more common, but now domain is king..

Regarding seo, ip’s are a nightmare..

SER had a post about it here: http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/016518.html 

Anyway.. Every day I seem to see a ip index for something or other, normally long tail terms but just now I was search a username of a forum member as you do and came accross no other than digg..

Digg has been double index via digg.com and a ip..

Over 90,000 pages are indexed on that ip have a look:

http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3A64.191.203.30

The one interesting thing to look at is which pages are index ip vs domain.. 9 million vs 90k… lets say only 10 links point to the ip then those 10 link would index 90k of pages… something to think about.. but finding what and who has linked is a real pain..

I suspect it might be to do with some api or widgets…

Just seen the Bin link on my GMail account.. I’ve never clicked on it before as I don’t really delete anything..

So google seems to of forgotten the fact that gmail is no longer 2gb … The bin still has the old amount listed..

 No conversations in the Bin. Who needs to delete when you have over 2000 MB of storage?!

Here is a screen shot for you! (click here to enlarge):

For the last few weeks i’m seeing Google’s SketchUP in loads of the serps..

You can type a brand or even a place and find Sketchup in the serps..

So..

What use does it have in SEO.. Well having a look at a brand k/w I promote I’ve found a competitor thats uploaded some 3d model and included a link to a page which sells that item. .

Now i’ve studied AutoCad and worked for sony play station with 3D model when I was A LOT younger but maybe its time to mix it up..

Forget seo 2.0 skip to SEO3D

: )

Well..

It would seem that a load of peeps are reporting less earning so far this year..

I’m happily seeing a increase as traffic returns after xmas http://www.seohome.co.uk/2008/01/03/webmaster-2008-hangover-cure/

But not just the traffic i’m 100% seeing a increase in the CPC ..

I also could be due to my conspiracy theory regarding the drop in Rev whenever the reports arn’t working lol

Anyway all is good.. Back to the world of seo after a nice week in the alps..

Google have finally fixed the adsense reports..

Now you can view the reports in the correct order showing the most $$ at the top per channel..

Its odd why it has taken so long?

I first reported the incorrect order on the 14th of December 2007 here : http://www.seohome.co.uk/2007/12/14/adsense-reports-in-a-mess-again/

Its take ONE month and ONE day!

I’m still lost at why this would take so long and what google would of changed regarding the reporting at this time ?

Ah well … All back to normal ..

Here in the UK google has added a link below the bottom search box saying Try Google Experimental linking into the labs page..

I can only assume google is seeing what people like when using the experimental search layout and shortcuts etc..

Here is the screen shot:

Fun..

 Happy holidays from me to all … Today google put and funky new logo live on the .co.uk homepage:

If you look here:

http://www.google.co.uk/doodle13.html

It would seem we are going to have a few more logos to come

Spotted this morning when I logged in and I still messed up..

Basically google is showing the list randomly.. or in some wired order compared with the normal highest earning channel at the top..

Screen shot:

Wrong order!

Good news I think..

I’ve only every clicked on 1 once in my life and really didn’t feel it helped the user.

This also decreases the links on the page by 1
