Wednesday TechCrunch posted an article about a new ad product launched by MediaWhiz. The name of the product is InLinks, and it involves people being able to purchase anchor rich text links embedded into content in a way that is supposed to give it a “natural” feel. Michael Arrington called the product “insidious”. His whole [...]

Google Tries Too Hard To Appear Useful, Starts Making Up New Words
Posted at 12:16 am | Filed Under coding, Google, lackofmeds, nerdiness, SEO
The Google Search feature that Google calls “Spell Checker” can be very handy at times. You know the one I mean… you type something hastily in the box, manage to inadvertently slip in a typo or two, and Google, very helpfully, asks you “Did you mean: {some other word}”. Aside from putting a dent in [...]

How To Remove Your Website From Linkscape *Without* An SEOmoz Meta Tag

My Friend Donna Fontenot Sure Is, Well… Different…
Posted at 5:18 pm | Filed Under anti-smackdown, blogthropology, lackofmeds, nerdiness, SEO, Social Media
Donna is definitely one of my bestest friends. She gets me, we think alike, and when I get stuck on an issue she’s always there to help me, even if it’s just moral support (although usually it’s in the form of information I need when my brain is just plain overloaded). I love her to [...]

Ok, so, looks like Rand and gang finally decided to reveal their top-secret recipe about how they gathered all that information on everybody’s websites without anyone noticing what they were doing. There was quite a bit of hoopla over the fact that when they announced their new index of 30 billion web pages (and the [...]

EasyWP WordPress Installer – Cause There Ain’t No Such Thing As “Too Easy”
Posted at 8:30 am | Filed Under blogthropology, coding, how-to, nerdiness, Social Media
Let’s face it… generally speaking, installing WordPress is not exactly an arduous task. It’s designed to be relatively easy, allowing pretty much anyone to set up a blog of their own, regardless of their technical expertise. For the most part, WordPress succeeds at this. However,

You MUST Charge Matt Cutts For Linking To Him
Posted at 8:05 pm | Filed Under blogthropology, Cuttisms, Google, nerdiness, Social Media
No, seriously folks. Links have value. If they didn’t have value, then Google wouldn’t care about people buying and selling them. Since they have value, we must avoid even the appearance of impropriety. Not only is it what he wants… it’s Google policy. And even if it weren’t Google policy,

Ok, so I just had 2 of my WP installs hacked, on 2 different servers. This is not the same thing that Shoemoney reported on a few days back (hidden link injection), and as of yet I have not seen any definitive answers as to what it is. All of my blogs were upgraded to [...]
