Google, I suggestโฆ
I’m not usually one to submit suggestions via feedback forms. For so many sites, it’s like sending your well-intentioned ideas and criticisms into a black hole. Never to see the light of day again.

Merchants, police your trademarks!
Jeff Molander of Molander & Associates has given me a scoop on their new service that they are about to roll out — ProtectMyMark.com. Jeff has been kind enough to send me a sample report so that I can actually see what a merchant can get from using their service, and it looks really good. […]
Link requests that suck

Day 1 at SES San Jose, er I mean the Googleplex
Hello from San Jose! Ok, I started the title of this post with something a little misleading, because even though I’m here in San Jose for Search Engine Strategies, I didn’t actually make it to the conference at all today. Instead, I got to do something EVEN BETTER! I arrived from New Zealand in the […]
