I’m Booking a holday…

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

& after spending days scouring the web, it looks like sunshine.co.uk have the best deals – on pretty much everything.

I’ll no doubt be posting pictures & reviews somewhere when we get back…..

Of course upscaling servers makes sense, whether your site is informational, transactional or personal. If your servers are too slow, then your conversion rate will suffer – it’s simple common sense. upscaling your servers needn’t be too difficult either – there are plenty of hosting firms (more…)

Amazon dumping paid search affiliates / associates

Friday, January 15th, 2010

I’ve just recieved an email from Amazon Associates.
They’re no longer going to be paying commission for traffic arriving directly from paid search.

They’re also only giving 2 weeks notice & will be auto-terminating accounts.

Twitter don’t need SEO

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

Greetings All,

I spotted this post over at Dave Naylor’s blog today.

In the post, he & the commentors are berating twitter for ‘getting it wrong’ – “I bet their inhouse SEO feels like a right cock now”.

Do they (twitter) really care though? do they need their pages to be ranked in google? do they need trending topics (which are just links to searches) to be indexed? would google index links to search results anyway? My guess is that twitter couldn’t give a rats ass about SEO – what do you think?
