If it weren’t for the fact that everyone used Google I’d be in a position not to care about it. But unfortunately I’m not in that position and currently I’m getting fed up with it. Google Losing Pages – in the last couple of weeks I’ve seen more and more pages being ‘lost’ by Google. [...]

Google homepage background image – Bing style #fail
June 10, 2010 – 8:18 am
So the Google homepage was lauded because it was hugley usable. Removed all superfluous nonsense to allow users to complete what they wanted to do at Google which was search. The white background made Google simple to understand. So I read on Twitter about some horrendous image thing kicking in over at Google; “Google’s turned [...]
Huge arrows on PPC sitelinks in Google
May 28, 2010 – 9:25 am
I’m really starting to hate the PPC testing at Google – they call it usability improvements. There again I can’t blame ‘em for trying to improve the profitability of their products. Today I was searching for a few brands to see about getting some new life insurance. And I see the following when I search [...]
Intelligence (Beta) option in Google Analytics
October 28, 2009 – 10:01 am
I’ve just logged into Google Analytics, and found a new option just below the dashboard option listed as Intelligence Beta. Can’t find anything about it on the Google Blog It would appear to allow the functionality to set trigger points for the website in relation to the traditional Google Analytics metrics and dimensions. It looks [...]
Google Logo Changes
March 20, 2009 – 11:21 am
Every day you go to Google they seem to have a new logo. Its getting to be a bit dull now – it was fun to see a changed logo every so often but now its just silly. I cant remember the last time I actually saw the good old fashioned Google Logo. That said [...]

March 4, 2009 – 10:17 am
Just got an email from PPC Andy about this Google offering online training in Google Analytics. I’m trying to pencil in time over the next few weeks to run through some of the stuff they’ve got listed – I really like messing about with the custom reporting modules just now but it looks like there [...]
Google.com – Any Time, Any Language, Any File
February 16, 2009 – 12:23 pm
I’m not on google.com very often – most of my clients work in google.co.uk as their main traffic driver (as they’re in the UK) but today I was running some tests in google.com and I started to get different lopoking result sets: So the bit in red is the part where I could refine [...]
You, Me, Carpark, NOW…
November 4, 2008 – 1:21 pm
Always liked the ring of that phrase. Far better than ‘Hi, how are you?’. Anyway have been running about the web trying to work out WTF Google has been upto recently – results are so screwey its half cock up (think Chris Iwelumo against Norway) and half comedy show (Homer Simpson’s been left in charge [...]
Imagine Google being your Affiliate on your Programs
October 20, 2008 – 1:23 pm
There is no point in getting too angry too often. And when it comes to PPC I rarely get angry or feel any other emotion. Everything in PPC can generally be scoped, planned, projected, dissected to within an inch of its ROI driven life. To me personally that makes it a bit dull – its [...]
Are Paid Links Acceptable
September 17, 2008 – 10:57 am
I’ve been chatting to a company recently about helping them with their SEO efforts – they’re looking to do the content and I’ll be doing the link development. Is an equitable split of work and they’re a reasonably well known brand – leaders within their field – just lacking generic positioning. And as we all [...]
