Mike Dammann has launched his own Directory Contest. It’s a twist on the regular SEO contests and it’ll be interesting to see how it pans out.
I’ve got two entries
- RealState for Real Estate has a Directory Contest page
- Property Investment Directory has a Directory Contest page
In both cases the links aren’t visible on the directory homepage and the links are 2 or 3 clicks into the site.

We were lucky enough to recently have a long holiday to Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore flying Malaysian Airlines. And great they were too.
My boy had heard that the planes all had games and we’d checked online to see that some of the planes had them but not all so some serious “conditioning” went on just incase he had a 10 hour flight with no toys.
We got lucky, both on the flight out and home again. But on the flight out there were all sorts of issues with the flight crew rebooting the inflight entertainment system several times and individual consoles crashed constantly.
I was impressed to see they were using linux but unimpressed with how the system couldn’t cope with it’s workload. We didn’t have the “on demand” version and that should have been simpler.

But the global community needs to get ready for

I’m on the committee of the WTK BMX club and we have a handful on the committee who need minutes mailed to them. That increases the running costs and effort but we can’t expect everyone in our worlds to be online now can we?!
So I had some information to send out and to prompt thought and discussion prior to a meeting. I happily typed up the email and sent it out to those on email but stopped short of printing and posting out copies to the rest.

I’ve been a bit slow off the mark with USB flash cards as most of the files I need are either online or on my computer and I just don’t get about that much. However with some travel planned I thought I’d try one out.
First stop was the Portable Apps website to download

My attention was drawn today to another discussion about newbies and their click-n-fraud requests made on their own sites, along side their links on other sites and in emails. Google (and hopefully the other ad networks) quickly blitz these fraudsters and they find themselves without any advertising at all.
A quick search on Google comes up with examples like this:

It’s been reported and don’t expect to see ads on that site too much longer.
Now that’s easy situation, but what about when the site involves revenue sharing via a joint account? (more…)
