Published on March 23, 2007

I’ve decided to take a step back from blogging for awhile. I tried to do this several months ago but I got sucked back in. Phil is right - I’ve been too critical on my blog lately. I think that’s mainly because there is a direct correlation between controversial posts and traffic. I’ve seen my traffic [...]

Google just announced the beta launch of their new pay-per-action (affiliate) network. Mike Arrington over at TechCrunch said it best:

Agreed!


How do SEO firms make it?

Published on March 19, 2007

I’m here at the OMMA conference in L.A. and I’m having a good time. I just got done making the rounds in the exhibit hall. I’m shocked at the number of SEM/SEO companies that are exhibiting here.

The Great Global Warming Swindle

Published on March 13, 2007

Got a free hour and fifteen minutes on your hands? If so, I highly encourage you to watch this BBC documentary on the global warming movement religion. OK, I know you’re busy. I would at least encourage you to watch the first eight minutes of this documentary.
