2007-09-18 21:35:00 Google’s webmaster tools got a face-lift yesterday when a new user interface was rolled out.

Google Alert Update
2007-09-18 10:53:00 I have noticed since the last Googl e Webmaster Tools update that my blog entries are being found on a daily basis and recognised as individual pages.

Google Sitemap
2007-09-17 12:39:00 The importance of a sitemap to Googl e should not be underestimated! The ClickInLove dating website existed quite nicely without a sitemap for long enough, but one day I decided I would implement one and notify Google via it’s Webmaster Tools service. Everything went fine until the number of pages on my site increased ... More About: Sitemap , Google Sitemap
New Podcast

Google Roulette
2007-09-12 21:42:00 Here we go again, more Googl e obfuscation attempts. I have found that Click In Love was doing increasing well recently in the SERP’s, but all of a sudden it droped out of sight, despite maintaining it’s PR.

2007-08-20 11:38:00 Visiting the English Garden in Munich, it is always nice to stop off at the Chinesischer Turm and grab a halbes hendl mit hellas (half a chicken and a beer).

Free Online Dating Site
2007-08-18 22:58:00 Today there appears to have been a mid-month Google update which has drastically improved the exposure of Click in Love in the SERP’s.

Dating Site Update
2007-08-16 13:32:00 Work on Click in Love is ongoing, but currently slowed down. This is a temporary situation and is caused by the need to create some SEO tools (i.e. the SEO Link Tracker mentioned in the previous few posts).

SEO Link Tracking Browser Extension
2007-08-08 16:45:00 I have decided to develop a tool to help optimise my link-building strategy.

German Language
2007-08-03 11:36:00 I have finally started to learn how to speak Germ an . Using an online web tool I am increasing my vocabulary and learning how to pronounce words.

Concentration
2007-08-02 17:20:00 Often when you have work to do it is easy to get side-tracked and not devote yourself fully to the task at hand.

AJAX Complications
2007-07-31 13:55:00 An interesting issue I had on the site was the interaction between Javascript and PHP when trying to refresh a page with user generated content. PHP is quite limited in what it can do with a page refresh, but Javascript seems a little more flexible. Using AJAX More About: Ajax
