2 New SEO Tools – Link Value and Spam Value.
I’m a bit late to the gun on mentioning Patricks new Text Link Value Calculator Tool. I ran it about 25 times….from what I found, the lower price link values seemed very "fair" (between $6/month and $60 month)….but some links were valued at like $650/month…and those seemed way high…We ran this through some of the […]

I removed the post about the guy who "stole my content". He emailed me and said it was someone else who had done it, to try to discredit his name. I found this site through an email I had received…but it may have come from the person who might have been trying to discredit the […]

Cat Post: It was 11 years ago today.
11 years ago today I was living in my pickup truck. I was spending a lot of time in the Haight-Ashbury district in San Fran. It was about this time 11 years ago that I collected $170 in foodstamps (the only money I’ve ever had to collect like this). Right now we work in Troy NY – and we have one […]

My battle with Comment Spam, and my latest solution.
People trying to comment spam on my blog. …..Can’t you comment spammers work harder to identify blogs that aren’t being used to spam on instead of active blogs?

3 way linking – 2 years old.
Funny….I was just reading about a conversation I had with Barry Schwartz 2 years ago. Back then I asked Barry not to disclose my name if he blogged about it for fear of Google coming after me for what I was doing……it’s been just over 2 years…and we’ve moved into what I hope are "better directions" than what […]
