Since spam bots can't read, this post is pretty much pointless, but give me any excuse to underline the fact I've on the web for over ten years now, and there's no stopping me. In the old days, and I am referring to the days of the dot com boom, requests for link exchanges were usually composed by a human, and also included an actual and tangible incentive to consider such ...

Top 50 graphic design blogs David Airey has compiled list of blogs authored by web or graphic designers, and sorted them (approximately) by their Google pagerank. It's not so easy finding quality graphic design authors. So to make things easier for you, here I present my top 50 graphic design blogs. Don't read too much into the pagerank though, some of these sites have been around for years and have an ... Read full entry

I really don't want to crap on too much about the recent round of Google bitch slaps, or "algorithm tweaks", as local newspaper the Sydney Morning Herald more eloquently terms whatever the world's favourite (or second fav here) Search Engine is up to at the moment. I am however impressed with the way Melbourne pro-blogger Darren Rowse is taking advantage of the publicity a recent article ... Read full entry

The next Google pagerank will take place in October. October 2020. At least I'm a little more optimistic than some people who feel as if it will never happen! ;) Whether it happens next week, or next year, who really cares anyway? Riddle me this, what is more valuable, a blog without a pagerank that has 10,000 visitors a day, or a PR6 site that has 15 visitors a day? And no, don't going ... Read full entry

There's been much speculation in recent weeks as to the actual identity of the blogger who calls himself John Cow. Ms Ad Tracker (I'm sorry, I don't know your name...) thought that John Chow, of all people, was the mysterious bovine bruva trying to make internet millionaires out of us all. I even had a dream, a very vivid one in fact, that I was indeed John ... Read full entry

The Google pagerank update is reaching epic levels of delirium! When this letter arrived from the world's favourite search engine, it had me wondering, "Say hey? Are Google posting out pagerank results to bloggers?" Well no, not really, not at all. I was just trying to write a blog post with a huge dollop of sensationalism on top. Nine out of ten Internet Marketers recommend ... Read full entry

Blogging Fingers "is the site where you can find a refreshing view of the blogosphere". So far I'm convinced! There's a lot of "blogs about blogging" out there, and Matt Jones, from Cambridge in the UK, has created one that IMO stands out from the others! Skelliewag "is about creating content your site's visitors will fall in love with". Another blog about blogging I guess, but very ... Read full entry

This is about the third week since I "relaunched" disassociated.com in its new Wordpress casing. This is also about the third week since I started making a concerted effort to promote disassociated.com. Although I've been blogging here for almost five years, about the only people who had linked here, up until a few weeks ago, were pretty much people I knew personally. It would be fair to say "promotional" efforts ... Read full entry
