Black Hat SEO, To Use and Abuse or Avoid?
For a while now I have been learning SEO and many different ways to promote websites using the powerful world of Google, Yahoo and Ask.
As you might remember my recent posts where I cought up on some important SEO reading How To Make Keywords Stand Out , Making your Layout easier for Google and the most important Links to and from your website.
But it is now the time to enter the world of Black Hat SEO, their are a lot of reasons why not to use this but in many ways their are reasons to use this.1 reason it might not be a good idea to use blackhat is because it can get you on googles black list, which overall is not good you could end up loosing traffic which is then a good idea to sell the site before it takes you down.
Wordpress Update 2.3 Rocks!
Their was a new update for wordpress, version 2.3 personally I love this update for several reasons.
1: I can kick out a load of plugin’s,before I had around 20 or so doing a lot of things, but after this update it is now doing a lot more for example the tags in your write post/page that kicks out a few of my plugins by itself, especially Ultimate Tag Warrior, but I occasionally use it for the keyword suggestions.
2: More editor buttons, now if you do most of your work in the WebUI then you will love this, not only can you clean up the coding but you can also colour your text this has taken tinymc editor to the next level and saves me making my own modifications to it, I am also using my wordpress blog instead of google doc’s and spreadsheets.
Apple Ipod Touch Sexiest Ipod Out (itouch)
If you haven’t seen this or had a go you have to its one of the best ipods I have ever seen. The basic idea of this is to just have a screen displayed; no buttons on top, all you do is move your finger across the screen!
You know what amazes me though, I remember the old days of touch screen and frankly they where huge the monitors you could buy for your computer where very big and expensive, now you compare this with the itouch its astonishing how you can turn that into that its so small too hard to get my head around it!
The display looks amazing, if you own a iphone it’s a fairly similar look it display’s everything from the album art to the information from your mp3 file. Has many other options like display photos you have taken to even things like video files!
This is a amazing ipod or itouch should I say and is well worth buying in my opinion so go for it!
