The longest title for a seo blog I’ve ever seen. - 358 words

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

A seo blog called blackhatplant has by the look of it pinged technorati with what I assume a load of seo blog links as I can’t find a link (yet) ….. 

Anyway the title of this blog is massive…  

Why do this? Well anyone loading up a blog’s dashboard e.g. on wordpress has a pannel with incomming links normally for the result of a blog reactions from technorati…

The screen shot below shows how big the one link is…

 

 

Also you can see it by going to http://www.technorati.com/blogs/www.seohome.co.uk/?reactions

The total number of words if 358!!!

SEO is repeated 49 times

Fun :D

Amazon e-book - Kindle

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

Kindle is a little computer which allows you to download books/blogs/newspaper from amazon at a cost…

This could be a big thing and for us seo’s the most interesting thing would be to find out how to get your blog on the list..

The telegraph mentions you can only download book from amazon ONLY so I’m guessing it will be the same for the blogs.. 

Looks pretty cool…

Google’s cool carbon footprint calculator.

Friday, November 2nd, 2007

A nice little link on google.co.uk is pointing to a cool carbon footprint calculator..

http://www.google.co.uk/carbonfootprint/index.html

 

 

 

Use the calculator to measure your carbon footprint and find out what practical steps you can take to make it smaller. On a personalised page, you can track your progress, update your carbon-reducing actions and see a Google Map featuring the footprints and actions of everyone taking part. To share ideas, ask advice or find people in your local area to collaborate with, join the UK Carbon Footprint discussion group.

Its not on the US version lol…

Here is the home page link:

 

 

The link take you to a info page as below.. :

At the bottom of this page is a “get started” button which redirects to Igoogle with a carbon theme and loads of info about carbon.. Very cool here a screen shot:

The left hand blue pannel has a questionnaire with 6 steps regarding your home etc…

Here is the first step:

 

Very cool :)

After filling out the forms you get ask if you wish to be added to a map… The map adds uk’ers who has completed the question including a colour to their area..

New site stats… Viral is great…

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

Just over 2 months ago I launched a new site…

I already have quite a few sites in that niche ;)

One of the older sites is a forum with some 6,000+ members (about 100 aday a “really” active)

Anyway.. 2 months ago I started my 3rd social book marking site… The first 2 weeks hit the viral seen big time :D

Its 2 months on and google is only #3 even with the site ranking well already… You can guess what no1 ? Another social site.. YEP SU!!!

Anyway anyone launching a new site should waiting for ranking’s and just build links like the old days… Get viral… This is nothing new but I thought I’d post my stats after 2 months of life:

Referring Sites (76.69%)
Direct Traffic (12.74%)
Search Engines (10.57%)

The best thing that got this going was a competition… with over 4,000 backlinks almost all deep and now added by myself is an interesting site to watch!

Online Scams, bbc highlights on dating sites

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

Looking for LOVE ;)

Nop nor me.. hehehee..

Today on breakfast (a news show at no other than breakfast time in the uk) a great topic about online scams kicked off..

The main focus of the article was regarding dating websites… One guy was show on TV who had forked out £12,000 (about $24,000) for a “lady” from a dating site… Now this guy was as dumb as you get to hand over £1 but hey, loads of dumb people out and about (me included durrrrrr)…

An international initiative by SOCA targeting mass marketing scams says £8 million worth of fake cheques have been seized, mainly from operations out of Nigeria. They also uncovered scams connected to online dating sites.

Basicaly men would pretend to be women (still don’t know why men need to do this) and ask for money… The money would be need to fly said woman to said dumb man in the UK.. All info over emails etc…  hmmm..

Anyway said man will not be doing it again BUT in the interview he was all over the dating site(s) again..

If you want £12k his aka “I’ll give you £12k for free just email - 1969″
