2008-05-20 01:37:00
Every Monday at 6.30pm a mysterious ancient rite, whose precise origins are lost in time, is conducted in a candle-lit, underground temple in Central London .

Cowards, Fools And Children Rule Our House
2008-03-19 11:34:00
Lenders knowingly gave fat loans to borrowers they knew were bad risks. Borrowers lied on their applications, and took on loans they knew they couldn’t afford. Brokers solid on packages of these loans they knew were bad deals. Our governements knew their tax income was based on a credit boom. Nobody did anything about it. When ...

Google Owns Your Website . Think about it. How much of your traffic is from Google? How much do you really depend on it? Google is constantly refining its algorithm.

Ooooh, Did Nasty Google Smack Your Blog?
2007-11-27 22:30:00
The latest round of anti-Google whinging emanated from ‘pro’ bloggers who had their PageRank smacked down. The reason touted was because they were selling links. Curiously, some were not affected. Want to know why? My guess is that those affected had ‘footprints’ all over their site: 1. Mentions of P@yPerP0st and T3xtLinkAd5; 2. Links to same; 3. Backlinks mainly ...

Be Careful What You Wish For.

Sub-prime crisis in US causing ripple effect in UK, which was already living on tick; 3. £24bn+ wasted so far on propping up Northern Rock; 4. Country ...

Bad Times For Britain Ahead?
2007-08-15 19:32:00
I’m not talking about the current sub-prime mortgage problem. This is a long overdue correction to some very silly lending practices. I’m talking about Gordon Brown, and what he’s got planned for UK PLC. He talks the business talk, but he’s a hardcore Social Democrat. Forget what comes out of his mouth, watch what he does. He’s on ...

Is Google Perverting The Internet?
2007-08-05 18:17:00
Let me preface what I’m about to say by stating that Googl e is a very good search engine, has a laudable ethic, and supports thousands of struggling webmasters through Google Adsense.

TigerTom Penalised Again: The Google -950 Penalty.
2007-08-05 18:06:00
My main site got hammered by another penalty in April 2007: The Googl e -950 Penalty . This means that pages on your website go to beyond page 950 in the SERPs, but only for certain keywords. In practice it means you’re nowhere for the keywords you’re targetting, but can be found for unique or low-competition phrases on ...
