My friend bought a new laptop the other day after his old died on him (shows a blank white screen on startup – anyone have any ideas?). So he toddled off to the local PC World to have a look at the laptops. I seem to remember a time a few years ago where desktop PC’s took up the floor space and laptops were confined to one or two rows. Now laptops dominate the floorspace. While browsing...

This is a continuation of the post I made on 26th June which you can read about here. I’m carrying on by explaining what I think is wrong with the GoDaddy website, interface and ordering process. Messy & Confused Website In an attempt to offer every internet service under the sun, the GoDaddy website is mishmash of information. Assume you want to purchase a domain name. You assume they are...

I was in my AdSense account earlier toady grabbing some code to put on my site and I noticed a new drop down box that I hadn’t seen before. Google have added a new feature where you can now select what style of corner your ad borders have. They now have 3 styles to choose from. These are as follows: Square Corner This is the traditional square corner that has been around since the beginning....

GoDaddy is the largest registrar of domains according to WebHosting.info with over 18m domains registered and nearly 21% market share (Disclaimer: I couldn’t find another source to back up this data or when it was valid from so take it with a pinch of salt). Given that they have such a massive market share and are the dominant force in domain names, why can’t they provide a half decent...

This is a quick message to any members of HYIP101 that haven’t received our updates. The website has been relocated to http://www.hyip101.biz where you should be able to login to the website and forum as normal. The reason it was relocated was because the hyip101.com domain was a victim of a spam attack and we were asked to remove the site from the server. So if you have been searching for the...

When it comes to SEO (Search Engine Optimization) I’m a bit of a self confessed SEO nerd. I check all the latest techniques, tips and pointers that are thrown by the gurus of SEO – I have folders overflowing with SEO articles that I print out. I check every tool and every bit of software. I’m even subscribed to goodness knows how many SEO newsletters. Now there are some decent freebie...

I’m often drawn to get rich quickly schemes like a moth to the burning flame although rarely take action to join any and especially loathed to recommend or promote any. In my experience (and everyone’s gut reaction) they are mostly scams, pyramid schemes, illegal, shady, require too much work, require active selling and so on. There is a company that caught my eye back in January of this...

I just noticed that Google AdSense now has the option to show ads in websites that would previously have been inaccessible due to the page requiring the user to login (authenticate themselves as a legitimate user). For many marketers who run restricted access membership sites it was a pain because we couldn’t put adsense ads in there due to the fact that the spider was unable to check the content...

I’ve come across a site (through mainly mindless surfing) that may well give me a scientific excuse the next time I get out of bed after 12 midday to be lambasted by my housemates for being a lazy sod. I’m not infact lazy. I am a B person. Unfortunately the name given doesn’t sound quite as intelligent as the science behind it. Anyway, I have another word for B People. Computer Geeks....
