Filed under: Tools — Dink @ 3:11 am

Let’s take Wordze the new keyword research tool for a spin.

Site: Wordze.com
Product: Wordze Keyword Research Tool
Price: $7.95 for one day, $35.00 monthly subscription
Pros: Every thing you could ask for in keyword research. Beats Wordtracker.
Cons: The only drawback is the amount of information available for each kw. It’s real easy to get tied up in your pantyhose instead of searching more keywords. :)

Affiliates beware…the Blackhats is coming.

“All your traffic are belong to…….. me!”

It shouldn’t be a big surprise to anyone that Blackhat SEO’s are involved in affiliate marketing. They’ve been doing just that for a long while.

What might surprise you is the fact that there are about to be a lot more BH affiliate sites on the web. I mean, a whole lot more. (more…)

Seems like Google figured out that some publishers were using a famous stock market strategy (buy low, sell high) (more…)

“Come into my parlor”, said the spider, “and I’ll tell you how to become king of the internet”.

“Sit here, sweety, and I’ll tell you how it’s done”, she said.

“First of all, you must write your pages as if I don’t even exist. Yes,” she said with a knowing nod, “like me and my sisters were never born. Just write your pages for your visitors. Full of unique content, and lots of it.” (more…)

A new beginning

Filed under: General — Dink @ 7:55 am

Okay. Here we go again.

This is the fourth attempt at keeping this blog alive. It was previously known as ruminations.

Two servers that sucked. A bout with the flu while getting h4xored!

I will try to get the most popular stories from the old site archives and get them imported here. Failing that I’ll just recreate them. The others were tripe anyhow.

So, new host, new life.

We’ll see how this goes.

edit:

No joy on importing the old files.  So…wing it. :-)
