ComTech News

Since PayPerPost started I have been a huge fan.  They have up until now done everything right.  They kept everything above board with the Disclosure Policy Requirement.  They provided great control for advertisers (I have used them to advertise massively) where you could filter by geographic region, alexa traffic, google PR and many other criteria.  […]

Wikipedia (who sucks, practices nofollow and considers all SEO's spammers and therefore does not get any links from me) defines a narc as "A narc is a person who notifies authorities of illicit activity, betraying someone in the process".  Now this is why I call anyone that would notify Google that they have found paid […]

I am about tired of this topic so before I just become totally fed up with it I had better say my piece on the whole mess.  To me the simple reality is this, there will never be a way to know 100% if links are purchased or traded for or natural.  No matter what […]

Part of the joy of having been online since 1998 (at a time when FFL and Safe Lists worked) is you are so blasted with spam you usually get to be one of the first people to see new types of spam emerge, oh the privilege!  So just when you thought all the dirt bag […]

Recently I have been playing with a some what black hat script, OK it isn't some what it is dark as they come.  As I began to expand the possibilites of what could be done with this script in tying in several blogs together I developed a need to do a "random" post.  As in […]

Today I was discussing things with Mark Barrera and we were talking about blocking IP addresses of clients on Google Analytics so visits to their own site would not count.  This is really simple to do with Google Analytics. In your Google Analytics account, you can enter up to 4 IP addresses to "block", doing […]
