Hillary Clinton Crazy Eyes

Google Probably Isn’t Manipulating Search Results to Favor Hillary Clinton

June 10, 2016

A video is making the rounds that claims Google is manipulating its Autocomplete results, those suggestions you get as you type out your keywords, to hide terms related to Hillary Clinton’s criminal activities. Since this is my area of expertise, I though it would be appropriate to chime in. Not often does SEO, let alone Google Autocomplete, make national headlines. Unfortunately, most people have no clue how any of this search stuff works, so it’s a bit like the Aquatic Ape Theory in that it’s….

Gary Johnson on Reddit

October 12, 2011

Having been excluded unjustly from the Dartmouth debate, Governor Gary Johnson turned to where the people really are: the Internet. He tweeted during the debate and answered questions on Reddit. I know that to the uninitiated, Reddit can seem confusing, so hopefully this will simplify some things for you. Here are some highlights of his Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything): On Occupy Wall Street: On Ron Paul: On Potential Senate Run: On Vetoes: On Gay Rights: On the War on Drugs: On His First Action….

Steve Zampanides – The Myth Behind the Legend

August 20, 2011

Font expert, shark whisperer, hot sauce aficionado, animal impressionist, sandwich king of Cincinnati and more. Is there anything Steve Zampanides can’t do? Well, apparently he can’t appear on Conan. Despite having been booked nine times on the show, the mysterious renaissance man has yet to appear on television. At first, I blamed Steve Carell. However, it soon became apparent that there was more than a lack of time due to surprise guests preventing Mr. Zampanides from appearing. The show’s star Conan O’Brien himself seems to….

Results from Reddit Ad Campaign

January 25, 2011

As anyone familiar with the Internet knows, there are many ways to waste your time on it. However, only an elite few know that the best time waster is Reddit. With thousands upon millions upon billions of eyeballs glued to the constantly-crashing site, one might become curious about the value of advertising placed on this interesting things aggregator. I never notice these ads. I’m highly trained in advertisement avoidance, for one. Also, the SEO Site Tools extension for Google Chrome causes these nofollow links to….

Red Microblog

A Link to ‘Red Microblog’

December 16, 2010

Just last night, I called bullshit on US bloggers. Several self-proclaimed news sites reported on this same story about China launching a “Communist Twitter”. For some strange reason, not a single one of these sites (Engadget included, which posted another pointless replica today) included a link to the site in question. That left me wondering if this supposed “Red Microblog” truly existed. Well, after more and more research, enlisting the help of the China subreddit, I finally achieved my goal of finding this elusive propaganda….

Blogger Custom 404 Page

Blogger Custom 404 Page

November 29, 2010

There have been a lot of complaints in Blogger help forums about the lack of a custom 404 (File not found) error page.  This is a big issue, not just for user experience, but also SEO.  Of course, if you’re overly concerned with SEO, then you’re probably not using Blogger in the first place. However, if Blogger wants to be a serious contender in the blog CMS field, it should give us necessary features. Many improvements have come recently, but have mostly focused on design…..
