How to break bigsnapsearch!

February 22nd, 2008

Live new search engine with prizes is called bigsnapsearch…

Basically each search you make you get 2 cards..

If the card match then you win.. BTW if the card value match you don’t win the cards have to be identical..

Over here in the UK its all virgin stuf..

Back to the point..

I was typing loads of crap trying to get a match of course..

I basically start typing out loud.. Like “this is crap” and “win” then “let me win you *******” and so on..

I got to the point where I typed in “i’m so sad” ..

Guess what … bigsnapsearch can’t take it… LOL..

The only search engine I know that your can’t use  apostrophe… Good luck guys heehhe

No conversations in the Bin?

February 21st, 2008

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):

Have you thought about the “terminally single”?

February 13th, 2008

My friend just IM me this whilst talking about tomorrow.. Yep is the 14th..

 I think the day should be banned. It just rubs it in for the terminally single

So regarding seo have you covered and bases for the “terminally single”

seo-singles.com ? 

single-beds.com ?

i-am-alone.com ?

 I wonder just how many search will contain “-valentines ”

So from a seo point of view you may wish to target “-valentines” in the likes of adwords etc…

Enjoy the day : )

EDIT:

ADDED QUOTE:

I have actually contemplated downgrading my bed to give me more room

hehehhee

Buy.at and AOL and Advertising.com and… And…

February 6th, 2008

Read about this on the card yesterday and now i’ve just got the email as follow:

Thank you for your continued business and support during 2007/8. As a valued and important partner to us we would like to be the first to inform you of an exciting new development at buy.at. This morning, AOL announced that they have acquired buy.at, which will operate as a stand-alone business of Advertising.com, part of AOL’s Platform-A organisation.

Good on them guys..

Buy.at has really grown fast..

Watch what you say?

February 6th, 2008

I’ve just been looking at some of my referrals from yesterday..

I came accross pipl.. I’ve seen it before and the data it has on me and my friends if pretty amazing..

Its tagged me/friends with some of the keywords that we have been seo’ing for a while..

I’ve also seen ICQ listings with address and phone number etc of friends.. It would seem this site has gathered more info than when I last looked.. It would be a great tool for people to checkout who is who…

Word of warning use a aka that in no way relates to you OR be open with what you do… If your outspoken which i’m not then I’d look at the aka route..

Anyway enjoy looking up your friends or seo’s here: http://pipl.com

3D SEO

February 5th, 2008

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

Adsense earning down ?

February 4th, 2008

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/

:D

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

http://www.seohome.co.uk/2008/01/15/adsense-reports-fixed/

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

Adsense Reports Fixed

January 15th, 2008

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 ..
