Webmaster Central Update

2007 at 11:32am | by Jay

A few days ago I posted about Google’s webmaster central. Since then, I discovered a new tool which drastically increases the usefulness of the links listed on the site.
If you go to this site you will find a very interesting script that adds a boatload of functionality to Webmaster Central.
What does it do? Well, in […]

Okay, so maybe I put the cart ahead of the horse a little bit with the headline, but for a little over a year now some people have been making sensationalist claims about the end of PPC advertising and heralding the coming of PPA (pay per action) advertising.
Today I have mixed feelings to hear that […]

2 New Sites

This past week we completed the content writing aspect of our 2 newest celebrity fan sites for John Cena and the Black Eyed Peas.

Because of my “real world” job, I constantly am struck by the differences in online and offline business, generally in how the online world moves in hyperspeed ,making offline business seem to be moving almost… slowly.

You can […]

I still see a lot of people looking around the web asking if it’s worth dropping $299 on a listing in the Yahoo Directory.
After doing a bit of research on the topic, I felt it was finally time to weigh in on the question. First off, when you find the page that your site would […]

Recently a new craze has been hitting the e-product scene, product sellers are using blogs or testimonial collections and sales pages to get you interested in buying their product. But on the day the product is supposed to be released, without any warning or indication the seller sends out a notice to everyone on their […]

Some People

2007 at 9:51am | by Jay

Last night, my girlfriend and I sold our townhouse and were finally able to sleep without having the whole selling process hanging over our heads… when we started once again to hear these loud noises coming through the walls.
As a bit of background, about 8 months ago the townhouse attached to our bedroom was […]

Google Webmaster Central

2007 at 4:09pm | by Jay

Perhaps I’m out of touch, but this past January I ran across an interesting Google tool called Webmaster Central. It gives you a little more info than the standard search modifiers generally do, such as a more in-depth list of back links, problems with spidering your website, when you were last spidered, as well as […]

I’ve been debating the pluses and minuses of doing a larger number of sites which are updated, say, every week vs. doing a small number of sites and attempting to update them once every day or two. I recently was looking at some of our competition in the celebrity fan site space, and noticed that […]
