What country is your site hosted in?
As you may recall, several weeks ago I purchased a handful of old domains and we’ve been uploading some additional content on them. One of these sites has been getting tons of traffic from Google….but not from google.com, from google.ca. So in doing a bit of research (www.whois.sc) I found that the site is hosted […]

I’d pay Yahoo for this.

I’ve been having serious issues with Yahoo email, (I’m sick of typing in the random charactor string everytime I send an email), I’ve tried the Yahoo beta email, but I don’t like waiting 45 seconds for […]

Who does SEX, DRUGS, and GAMBLING …. SEO?
I know it sounds fun, Sex, drugs, and gambling…but we don’t do SEO for those industries…not that I’ve got anything against them…hey, I’ve been known to do all 3….but as far as SEO, they all seem pretty competitive. I tend to think that in order to succeed in these arenas, you’d need a bunch of […]

Desktop or Laptop – which do you prefer?
I’ve been using the same laptop since August of 2002 and little things have been going wrong with it (though overall I’ve been extremly happy with my old Toshiba), but I’ve been getting the feeling that the end might be near so I decided to buy a new laptop tonight. I recalled a thread on […]
