Automatically generate backlinks

October 27, 2010

Everyone asks me how do I generate backlinks? My stock standard answer has been “get involved, publish, discuss”.

Whilst checking webmaster [...]

October 20, 2010

Peter Switzer’s show “Grow Your Business” that I was recently interviewed for, aired over the weekend and is now available online here http://bit.ly/bKfNUO.

It’s stupid to say ‘yes’ to the NBN.

October 19, 2010

By ‘Yes’ I mean an unqualified yes. I was prompted today by @bengrubb article on the SMH “It’s stupid to say ‘no’ to the NBN“. Whilst I mostly enjoy Ben’s tech industry reporting, I thought this semi-opinion piece fell into the same trap as a lot of my other collegues. OMG FTTH! YEAH BABY! BRING [...]

The NBN is a bad idea

October 15, 2010

As I have explained previously, the main reason I think the NBN is a bad idea is because there will be so much waste. Mainly because a lot of Australian’s simply wouldn’t want it. A business case may expose some of that which is why Conroy is probably reluctant to do one. The article below [...]

ACMA announced today a massive increase in blacklisted sites and sites reported for 2010. There were only 14 sites blacklisted last year but a whopping 78 this [...]

Google SERP preview

October 13, 2010

A British based SEO during the week, stumbled upon yet another Google test. This one is far more interesting than Google Instant.

Why Julia? Why?

October 13, 2010

I’m not one to say I told you so but I just did. Today PM Julia Gillard reaffirmed her support for the mandatory ISP level Internet Filter.http://bit.ly/dpmoM2. She trotted out the same old rhetoric as crafted by Conroy’s sponsors. Where’s the ALP benefit? Politicians in my lifetime are not in the habit of ignoring overwhelming [...]

Where are the aliens already?

October 11, 2010

What a year it’s been for coming out of the closet for admitting that intelligent beings from other planets exist. Even just a few weeks ago an employee of ours looked at me like a crazy person for even suggesting it. Yet as I explained in my post you would be in an ignorant group [...]

Proximity Layer Protocol

October 4, 2010

When one of our more blonde members of the office got her iPad, she was told it wouldnt work outside the office until she got her “proximity layer protocol” settings from Apple. After 20 minutes on the phone to Apple and the rest of staff doubled over hiding their laughter, we had to let her [...]
