The Things People Search
You know you’ve got a lot of diverse content within your network when you can look through pages and pages of the words people used to access some or all of your sites and find some real gems.
Here is a collection of strange(?) terms that are hot today:
Is Why Bird from Playdays Welsh?
There have been [...]
New Look HotchSpot
The HotchSpot site has changed, and now sports a sleek new look. OK, so it is largely similar, simplified and contains more ads, but you know it looks better, right?
Its also the first black site we’ve made in ages, though we’ve kept the lovely header logo.
Check it out here.

The Google PageRank Shuffle
You knew it was coming, and this week it arrived: Google has re-aligned its PageRank display (you know, the toolbar one that we webmasters live and breathe by).
I knew this site had been boosted a lot of late, as the World’s Greatest Blog is performing extremely well in SERPs, but I have been particularly pleased [...]
What’s Wrong With Google Adsense
Google’s Adsense system seems to have gone rather berserk this week.
I thought I’d ride it out, and wait for a resolution, but alas, today things are no better.
The problem is this, when looking at Adsense reports, I see all the total data (e.g. impressions and clicks received etc) but when I click on the “Channels” [...]
Diggers, Googlers & Stumblers
Most websites and blogs can and do attract new visitors through search engines and social ’site sharing’ networks. Three of the main players in these fields are Google, Digg and Stumbleupon. But do webmasters or bloggers critically assess the traffic which these sites bring, and it’s relative importance to their website or blog?

Russell Grant Horroscopes?
I check my Google Analytics every now and again and it is often funny to see what people have been searching for when they get onto some of my websites. This website throws up the strangest variations, probably due to the fact that we write about pretty much everything, and that the site does well [...]
New Google Adsense Referrals - Referral 2.0
Google have taken the 2.0 out of the much maligned (by me) term “web 2.0″ and combined it with their somewhat limited Adsense Referrals system to create a new ways for webmasters like me to ‘monetize’ their website(s).
I only discovered this new system this weekend on a routine Adsense shift-around that I was performing - [...]
“Positive” Discrimination in Job Advertisements - is it Legal?
The other day, we were planning our line of attack with regards what we are going to spend to rest of our lives doing (when we have finished our protracted holiday lifestyle, which unfortunately will have to end at some point) when Linda discovered a job that sounded pretty good for her.
The only problem being [...]
New Google Analytics
I’m almost certain that everyone with a blog will be writing about this today, and I also appreciate that if I wanted to get in early, I should have written this morning, when I got up, but here is my tuppence worth about the new look Google Analytics.
I like.
At first I was all “hey what [...]
The Get Google Ads Free Site is a Complete Scam!
I found this site - getgoogleadsfree dot con, sorry dot com, in the adsense on the right of this page. Obviously, as I’m not allowed to click on my own ads, I entered the URL direct, but guess what I found. The ad itself looked scammy, so I thought I’d check it out…
Absolutely, the biggest [...]
