April 30th, 2007 · 1 Comment

V7N Search Marketing News:
Wikipedia introduced the no-follow tag, presumably as way to prevent people using Wikipedia to pass link juice. Even when most Wikipedians wanted no-follow removed, Jimbo Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, hs chosen to keep no-follow.

Looks like Jimmy Wales is twice the hypocrite - once for wanting to keep adding no-follow to wikipedia […]

April 27th, 2007 · No Comments

You can buy targeted traffic, and I am not talking about google’s product here. Quality Traffic Supply promises to deliver targeted traffic to a website that is contextually driven.

Apple’s iPhone is not out the door, and iPhone accessory speculation is already rife. The article mentions that all iPod accessories will be compatible with the iPhone - and speculates that iPhone screen protectors and cases will be hot items.

Nokia N95 Smartphone

April 26th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Forget the iPhone, I am drooling over this baby - the Nokia N95 smartphone.

The N95 has a 5 MegaPixel camera (oh, and by the way did you know that Nokia, not Canon, or Kodak, is the largest producer of digital cameras in the world?!!) which pretty much means I won’t need a seperate camera […]

Narconon Drug Rehabilitation

April 25th, 2007 · No Comments

There is this michigan drug rehabilitation center called Narconon stone hawk - don’t even ask me how I ended up on that website - I blame it on Britney Spears and the general trend to resort to drug rehab as a pseudo-publicity stunt.
