This post is a review of a recent site we found: SEO vB First Glance: On first visit, my impression is very professional site.  I am a fan of the layout and the tabs of the different sections of content.  The biggest problem with a lot of sites is over placement of ads.  The ads on this site are not obtrusive nor irritating.  They are related to what the site content is about and not out of sight but not in the way. Big plus! What do they do? At SEO vB...

The new search engine Cuil looks sleek and intimidating in deseign.  The results are even displayed very nicely however the results aren’t all too relevant.  This is where...

Pros For brandable products Eye catching banners Cost effective Pays out good for hi traffic websites Cons No true way to track profit from advetiser... 

You’ll read blogs like John Chow and Shoe Money that claim it’s all about RSS Subscribers.  They claim that their uniques go down but they make more money because of the RSS Feeds.  John Chow’s Ebook mentions to offer full text feeds and Shoe Money does this as well.  But is this good for the rest of us bloggers who aren’t blogging about how to make money? While I will agree that it works for their type of site because they include... 

Here is a list of ping sites for any site that uses RSS feeds in order to spread the word about your site.  Wordpress has a section in Settings > Writing where you can enter these sites to spread the word about your blog to these sites.

Facebook has a new look!  While MySpace has been what seems to be frantically trying to keep up with Facebook, Facebook pulls out a face lift for the site.  MySpace has been adding aps and other Facebook type items to their interface which are flagrant copycat tactics to try and keep pace. It was quite a major redesign of the site.  Now Facebook will offer users more control over their profiles.  The new look is being gradually offered to the 80 million...
