@James, If you speed, you might get home faster once or twice, but when you get caught you'll be really late. The same is true for SEO and the survey. A black hat tactic, like buying links, is never "effective" (which is what the survey asked) ... February 10, 2009 |

I received an email from Really Old Record's Proprietor, Roger Wade. I was very impressed with the way Mr. Wade responded to the review, and I got his permission to share the email with you here. Hi Armando, I've been meaning to contact... January 27, 2009 |

@Massimo, thank you for the kind words. I use Camtasia Studio, http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.asp, for the video and some of my audio tracks. It costs $299, but is worth every penny. You can download a 30-day trial for free. For the... January 22, 2009 |

@chrislo2401 I certainly don't know the particulars of your situation. But it is really a matter of profit. If you can offer the free shipping and still make an acceptable profit, you won't hurt your business. But you need to de... January 16, 2009 |

@morditech, Thanks for the positive comment. I am glad it worked. But also thanks to Cody, ThickBox is a nice bit of code. He did a great job. One more thing. Would you feel comfortable posting the URL for one of your product pages? I ... January 15, 2009 |

@larsomatic Using the rel="nofollow" link is a way to control PageRank, but search engines actually encourage it. Note the quote from Yahoo! in the article. If Yahoo! did not want users to control their links, why would... December 31, 2008 |

Totally agree with jordonm. The .mobi domain does not make sense in the world of iPhones, netbooks, and mobile Internet devices. December 30, 2008 |
|
@jordonm No. It will not trickle down--if I understand what you mean. If you find it hard to focus on a single product page, consider focusing on category pages. Also, is it safe to assume that you have a link to your a... December 30, 2008 |

@jordonm, Do you really care if your shipping terms are showing up in Google search results? How much better would it be if you could focus that PageRank on a product page and sell something? Or what if by adding rel="nofollow... December 30, 2008 |

@frank651, Please post links to your sites. I will be happy to take a look. Also, I noticed that in a comment to one of our other articles, you said that one o... December 23, 2008 |

@prakster88, Your comment is very timely. Before we published this article today, we had a little in house discussion about mentioning Endicia. Kerry, our publisher, made your very point. But I decided not to mention it, so by your standard my ... December 23, 2008 |

@paperboy317 You can add the gadget to Facebook or any HTML web page using a bit of JavaScript. But have no fear Google has a tool to help. Paste the following URL into your browser, http://www.gmodules.com/ig/creator?url=YOUR-GADGET-URL.xml. U... December 22, 2008 |

As an update, the iPhone became the best selling mobile handset in the U.S. during 3Q08, making my point about the iPhone being a drop...well not much of a point anymore. November 10, 2008 |

@SirTKC, Thanks for following up. I am somewhat familiar with RAIDs and hot-swapping drives etc., but I have never heard of this happening. Normally, data centers have parity as either a level 5 RAID, a level 1 RAID, or the like--wherein rebuil... October 29, 2008 |

Great post. This is an issue that everyone has to deal with. But I am more optimistic, I do believe that there will be an end to browser consistency problems--I just hope it is in my lifetime. October 29, 2008 |

@YourAnimalStuff in spite of the cost increase you still like the service? Or is cost increase enough to make you slow down or even stop your campaign during the holidays? October 28, 2008 |

@Kim Off of the top of my head, I am about 90-percent sure that ZenCart and SmartCart will do that. You could do it in Magento if you operated the wholesale, password protected catalog as a second store. I believe that Fortune3 will do... October 28, 2008 |

@SirTKC, I feel your pain, and I am not even running for public office. I just sent an email to Ann Marie Tropiano. She is 1&1's public relations contact in the fair city of Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania. I asked her to take a look at your com... October 23, 2008 |

@SirTKC, do you know how wide spread the outage is? I have a few sites on 1&1 and they are fine. October 23, 2008 |

@Frugal1, what sort of success? And what did you think about Shopping.com and Pricegrabber? October 22, 2008 |
