So I’m playing with some local keywords for adwords, and I start thinking, and a few hours later I’ve got my local keyword generator up and running. Give it a spin, let me know if you like it or not, or if you’ve got ideas to improve it.

IM Cultural Divide
To most of my friends, i appear always-on. If i’m not on the computer, my IMs usually go to my Sidekick. I have a round-the-clock presence on AIM, even if frequently idle. I share this round-the-clockness with some of my buddies – people who always appear to be on, [...]

February 24, 2005

Last night I attended the world premier of Danny Elfman’s Serenada Schizophrana at Carnegie Hall. The event was commissioned by the American Composers Orchestra. I’ve been a big fan of Danny Elfman ever since he I heard the soundtrack to Batman. He’s done a lot of other movies like Spiderman, Men in Black, Planet of [...]

Sometimes you have all the pieces you just need to figure out how to put them together, and make something of value. I read a thread on the Yahoo blog a week ago On the Trail of the Long Tail. Now why is this important to a Search Engine Marketer like myself? Well I come [...]

Paris Hilton Sidekick Pictures

February 21, 2005

I’m not sure whether Paris Hilton is genius or a complete moron. You would think that after she had the infamous sex tape spread across the internet she would be a little more careful. However it’s release created such a stir in the press that her show Simple Life was extended to a second season.

Page Jacking

February 20, 2005

I’ll have to admit I wasn’t entirely up to speed on the whole page jacking issue, so I was glad I came across Google and the Mysterious Case of the 1969 Page jackers, on Friday afternoon.
However there’s some background data we need to go over first. I had a 2 word keyphrase I was ranking [...]

Google is a Bully

February 17, 2005

The more and more I look at what Google is doing lately, the more they remind of Microsoft. Their insidious actions are actually pretty scary. Lets look at the latest toolbar.
If you install the newest Google toolbar for IE (link) it has a new “feature” called automap which will automatically rewrite any address on a [...]

Kids and Email

February 16, 2005

So when do you give kids their own email address? Many children’s websites ask you for an email address to register before you can access some of the more advanced offerings. My 6 year old can write and spell easy words and sentences. She also knows that she’s never supposed to give any personal information [...]

New York City Gates

February 15, 2005

Ok since some people don’t quite “get it” dropping saffron colored tapestries from over 7,500 gates covering a distance of 23 miles is not art. Does anyone remember reading the Emperor’s Clothes? Are you all that naive’ that you can’t see it? My god people wake up and smell the coffee for heaven’s sake!

Hyphenated Domain Names and Chicken Little

February 13, 2005

One of the SEO theories I occasionally hear bandied about, is how hyphenated domain names are strictly used by spammers, and there’s no legitimate people or businesses using them. Well I went to the movies today and during the trailers they had an advertisement for the upcoming Chicken Little Movie. The domain name for the [...]

RSS Advertising Gone Wrong

February 11, 2005

If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time you know I’m a big Disney Fan. There are a few disney websites/forums I read but there’s one that’s always been ears and tails above the rest. It always had the sprinkling of advertising/affilaite ads thrown in, but they seemed handpicked for value they [...]

Mark Jen Lives

February 10, 2005

Ok so I didn’t actually get around to blogging about it but I will admit I was wrong on this one. I had cooked up some elaborate Google plot to explain the whole thing:

There’s strife between old (aka IPO millionaires) and new employees (not millionaires) at the googleplex
Management gets wind of some dissention in the [...]

Google Allegra Update

February 7, 2005

I’ve mentioned the Google Allegra update before and how it’s pretty much out of whack (post). I’ve been reading some other forums as well, but the most common complaint is, my site doesn’t come up when you search for my company name. They usually go on and complain about why hasn’t the media noticed it [...]
