I received a marketing e-mail that was cleverly worded, and since I’m interested in local marketing, I clicked the link. When I got there though, the message I received wasn’t exactly a perfect sales pitch. The e-mail I got told me that my business name...

I accidentally came upon another way that WordPress isn’t working quite right, so I made a quick 2 minute video. Over at SEO Automatic, I had created a page long ago to use for a new feature, my Automatic SEO Tip of the Week but I never made it live because I...

One of our mail servers has again been added to a spam blacklist, meaning that we are banned from sending e-mail, undoubtedly due to one of our hosting customers who has been sending bulk e-mail. Technically, we can still send, but the users at Yahoo, MSN, and dozens...

I received a “threatening” email yesterday from Jeremy Wyss at Peak Studios that I just have to share here after posting it last night on Twittter. Spurred on by ReTweets from internet marketers like Todd Mintz, Greg Boser, Aaron Chronster, David Mihm...

We just fixed an instance of a domain which appeared fine when visited directly, but when coming from the search results, all users were being redirected. Because of my recent personal virus experience redirecting my visits from search results I was thrown off at...

My trip to the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show was unlike last year, or any other years I’ve gone, because I cut myself short on time. The organization of the show changed quite a bit, and in the past, all of the breakthrough inventions were situated in one giant...

We’ve had another web hosting customer screw things up for everyone else on their shared mail server by sending unsolicited e-mail, which is against our terms of service. I’ve written about this before, more than once, and this user has received no...

Google is all over the map in the way it displays search results, but it looks like SEO, web-hosting, and web design are not! Well, technically they’re still “on the map” but the map is not showing up any more in Google searches. Yes, in case you...

Before Google’s announcement that the speed at which your site loads for visitors “matters”, we’d all heard it said repeatedly that it did NOT matter for organic rankings, but that it may someday, and it seems that day arrived early last month....

I’ve frequently been asked if I can point to a good example of Twitter marketing, and it’s rare, but I saw one first hand this weekend. Sunday afternoon, I happened to notice that Gary Vaynerchuck twittered that he would offer free shipping for the entire...

Yesterday afternoon PDXTC had a report that a website we were hosting was down, but the server administrators said that it was up. An hour later, we had a second report of another website down, and the admins claimed it was up as well, and that’s where I got...

There were a few changes at Google this month which I’ve been pointing out to clients, so I’m posting them here too. I added the month to my title, because I expect we’ll be seeing a lot more of these types of game changers as time goes on. You &...
