Cool Pics I Ripped from Google Image Search

God knows why but I was looking at oranges (google still cant look at an image file and distinguish between an orange and a sunset was the point I was making). I found some cool pics with oranges and I aint posted in ages so I thought that I would stick some of them here [...]

Sweet, another SEO in Falkirk

Quick post – been busy in my new job (more of that next week). Anyway over here there is a wee fell by the name of Scott McLay (I stuck the facebook link in as it made me laugh when I saw the picture – looks like he should be wearing a spock costume from [...]

The dangers of ReTweeting (it can make you feel like a wazzock)

Sometimes I sit and read stuff on Twitter and just hit the retweet button without thinking about it much(assuming the idiocy of the post or something else would come through) and some times the daftness is mine. Today I did just such a thing and within minutes I get DM’d asking what I was doing [...]

Daily Record website makes amends

Sometimes it’s good to take all the glory and today I shall whether it is warranted or not. Whilst wandering through my Twitter a/c for the day – having read about Google doing credit card comparison and Google staff being sentenced for taking off a video of some kid beating up an autistic kid (way to go [...]

World of Sofas, Falkirk… continued

In my previous rant about World of Sofas I was ready to lose it completely. I’ve given it some time and now I find it’s going to be April before the living room furniture is going to arrive! Just to recap I ordered at the start of October 2009 and my couch will be here [...]

I still can’t manage to moderate a forum

Tenders, eastenders and the chameleon search is still awful

Over the past couple of weeks there has been discussions going on around the way that Google.co.uk result sets are being formed to do with “search engine optimisation” and “search engine optimization”. Two of the better posts come from Sean @ Hobo and Andrew Girdwood from BMM (yes they’re dofollow links to competing sites – [...]

Small town Scottish Junior Football team live tweeting

Over at http://twitter.com/steadythebuffs Kilwinning Rangers have started to tweet live during games. Cool concept. Live commentary by Twitter – and its more fun than that you get at the BBC.  If only Falkirk FC would do the same – would be an added value item for all of us who can’t make every game.

SEO Spammers beware

Remind me not to send unsolicited spam link exchange requests to pageoneresults website. I’d seen a link in his twitter updates,  http://Twuna.com/LEX/200909301, and got into a quick tweeting with him about it. He used the phrase “Link Monkey” at one point – which I regularly use is a non-prejorative and character building kind of way. I [...]
