I can’t claim to have found this myself, rather someone Stumbled Upon phatterism and posted it on the 30 Day Challenge forum. Very, very creative, I wonder how much more of this kind of stuff we’ll be seeing as the internet matures.
With the countdown to our holiday just days away it was time this weekend to do some pre-holiday gadget shopping. This year I made just 2 purchases and both of them are practical.
The first is an IOMega USB hard drive to backup the complete content of 2 PCs to ensure that even if there are any disasters while we are away they is no loss of data. That is currently running like crazy as the data from my desktop is being transferred across.
The second is slightly more fun. (more…)
The 30 day challenge pre-season has kicked off this week, with a ton of info on setting ourselves up with the right software (all free BTW) and configs to be able to hit the ground running on August 1st.
So far we’ve Ed Dale has covered Firefox+extensions (and there is some GREAT advice here, really amazing), Stumbleupon, configuring the forums… and probably some other stuff I’ve forgotten in a series of videos and podcasts; I knew I was forgetting something, it’s iTunes. (more…)
Once again Spain shows that it doesn’t really get what democracy is about. This cartoon may be in poor taste, but it has been withdrawn by order of a judge and the magazine’s website shut down(!) because it’s target is the Spanish Royal Family who are above criticism in Spain.
That kind of attitude may have been all very well in Franco’s day, but it doesn’t cut it in what is supposed to be a dynamic go-getting country.
The cartoon is referring to the Spanish government’s recent announcement that mothers will be paid €2,500 for every child they have. The price is saying to the princess “You realise? If you get pregnant . . . it’ll be the closest thing to work I’ve done in my life?”
Shame on you Spain.
I’ve signed up, have you? I even persuaded my bro to go along for the ride - we’ll be the core of a team, even though I won’t be able to follow the full 30 days.
Watch the vid then go and sign up at the Thirty Day Challenge. You know you want to 
And if you don’t - you’re just about to miss one of the best opportunities around to learn all about Internet marketing from some of the top guys around. And it’s free. Spelled F R E E.
It’s a few days since I last wrote about StomperNet SIMPLE and I wasn’t exactly happy about it but I’ve now had the chance to hear the conversation between Ed Dale and Leslie Rohde, which was good as always. (more…)
I’ve just been reading an post on Aaron Wall’s blog about 301 redirects and how they can affect your rankings.
I played around with 301 and 302 redirects with a couple of my sites earlier in the year due to a structural reorg on one site and a Google penalty the other. (more…)
First Squidoo started to act against spam on July 5th and then lensmasters reported that many Squidoo lenses were losing their rankings over the weekend.
Was this due to Google taking action against Squidoo, as many people fear; or the result of sites “insulating” themselves against the sudden increase of Squidoo spam reported last week and Squidoo therefore losing backlinks as claimed by Squidoo? (more…)
A few years ago I was sent to a conference run by Network Solutions in Barcelona by my then employer. Although I could have stayed at their expence in Hotel Majestic on Passeig de Gracia I declined as I had another arrangement planned. (more…)
