World of Warcraft and Politics Dont Mix
2008-01-02 23:34:00
The current buzz in the World of Warcraft world is the Ron Paul campaign march from Ironforge to Stormrage. Game politics had a interesting write up about the whole ordeal, and it looks like there was quite a showing. I’m glad that I don’t play on that server normally due to the ...

The SEO Song, Yea I Was REALLY Bored

What happens when you get bored of fixing alignments in posts after you transfer you blog? You start humming nonsensical music from Otis while thinking of SEO tags for each page. The result?

Well the new blog site is coming up, and it was a little bit of a headache to import all the posts over.

Microsoft Complaining About Google's Monopoly
2007-12-26 20:14:00
Techcrunch had already posted an article about Google, and Doubleclick merging a few days ago. Normally I wouldn't post about stuff like that, but I came across an interesting response on Slashdot regarding it. Apparently the former Monopoly wannabe Microsoft is complaining about Google's monopolization in the advertising sector. That post can be found here on Google Watch, along with the pdf files that the NY Times released which had a 'confidential' tag written across each page. I'm not sure about you guys, but those diagrams have as much meaning to me as the Chewbacca diagram in the South Park episode. It just doesn't make any sense.I guess its something that we've been expecting for a while, and it made me remember a post Ritu had about Google not lasting forever. So does anyone have any thoughts on this? Or are you all laughing to yourselves as the two monopoly giants collide.

Entrecard Contest Finale - Link Lovin - Link Bait Stats
2007-12-25 23:17:00
I think the Entrecard Contest turned out pretty well. Lets see what's happened. There a total of 90 entries from 24 different people. 14 new subscribers, though how many will stay I'm not sure of, and about 6 extra back links. Pretty swell link bait results for throwing a contest with free credits if I must say so myself. I think I should have done this AFTER I move to the new domain. Oh well it was a learning experience for me as it was the first contest this blog offered. When I do run a contest after the domain switch I'll run it with a cash prize so that people who aren't Entrecard users will be able to participate as well. From the looks of the entries though most people didn't come back to comment about dropping their cards for more daily entries. I would have expected more of those participants than the ones who subscribed to the rss or e-mail. Also it seems like I still get around 50-60 card drops daily from Entrecard users. Of which only a small margin actua...

Today's Winner - Also What's up With Alexa Today? Google PR Update Incoming
2007-12-23 22:38:00
Anyone know whats going on with the Alexa ratings lately? I've been running about the same traffic for the last two weeks or so, but yesterday my daily Alexa rank dropped to 69,000. Today I'm sitting at about 89,000, like I said all with the same amount of traffic. This makes me wonder how many people with the Alexa tool bars does it actually take to break the top 100,000 level. Apparently less than 150 visitors a day, because that was yesterday's visitor count.When I was receiving closer to 300 visitors a day earlier this month posting about the Van Dame commercial, the rating didn't even show up in the top 100k. I guess the people who play World of Warcraft don't use the Alexa bar that much, and many of the Entrecard users do.Also there's been some worry over at the Digital Point forums regarding Google de-indexing many sites. One thread I read had their site traffic drop from 50k - 20kday. Many of these same threads popped up back in September about a month before Go...

Took a While, but I Finally Hit 20,000 World of Warcraft Gold
2007-12-22 04:51:00
It took a little longer than I thought to reach this next goal, but I finally managed to reach 20,000 gold again in World of Warcraft . Real life work has me burnt out by the time I get home so I don't even log in for the 30-45 minutes daily to rack this amount up. The Season 3 patch was quite a big sales day which raised the World of Warcraft auction house prices by quite a bit. The prices of some items have still not come back down since that patch was released, so that's great for people playing the auction houses. With school/college out there will be more people playing, so a greater demand of goods to be sold this winter break. Back at the end of October I had hit 14,000 before Sparter increased its commissions. I was thinking with the commission rates doubling to 20% the gold rates would go back up to compensate. However if you look at this widget below you'll notice, that the Warcraft gold to dollar rate has been steadily decreasing. You can click on the full graph l...

I Just Realized That I Can't Count - Day 4 Contest Winner - Entrecard Meme

Anyways for those of you who didn't catch my error, my contest started on a Tuesday, and ends Tuesday. This means the I was actually 8 running contest days for a total of 1,100 points not 1,000.

The winner of which I'll announce shortly.Hectic day today at the office, so I'll be jumbling everything today in one big post.It looks like there is an Entrecard meme going about now. I had first heard about it while returning a dropped card from Buzz Bop. I left a comment there joking about how long it was going to take before I get hit with it. Low and behold a few hours later I get tagged by that very meme from Alan. I found it funny that Colin also had that same experience happen to him the day before it looks like.Alan didn't post the instructions so I'll pull them from the Buzz Bop post that I saw it on. ...

I won't even mention the name of one, due to the fact that some people got hit with a Page Rank penalty for even mentioning their company. I'm not one to give professional advice on how a site should look or what it should change. However there are a good amount of sites that do all this, and currently for free. Some may require a link back others not. Check out their other reviews to see if its right for you.While the best way to get your site linked to is to write quality content.

So in the Mr T WoW commercial post I had, I mentioned that Verne Troyer aka Mini -Me was supposed to be coming out with a World of Warcraft Commercial. Well its here folks. Like the Van Damme commercial, Mini-Me goes with a mage. Somehow I would have though it would have been funny to be a Tauren or Draenai that's a large body race.

If you have an act of kindness that you have done or want to share leave a comment there.Anyways I just wanted to share a random act of kindness done to the blogger, that I found while dropping cards back on Entrecard. Seems like he lost his $300 railway pass, and some nice Samaritan gave it back to him. Good karma for you indeed Tom.Anyways even if you don't have any Act of Kindness that you did, spread the word about Bloggers Unite today.
