In a strange twist of fate that I am still trying to get my head around, I managed to predict the future. Well sort of. If you remember my last post a few weeks ago I said...

Coming up for Air

profitpapers@gmail.com (Miles Evans) — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 23:39:52 -0800

Geat Scott! I've been so busy the last year or more I haven't even had time to make a post here till now. You'll get over it. So what have I been up too?

Feedburner Hack: View Anyone's Subscriber Count

profitpapers@gmail.com (Miles Evans) — Tue, 08 May 2007 02:57:51 -0800

Well not anyone's, but anyone who is using Feedburner to track and manage their feed. I'm not sure how well known this exploit is but I just came across it and will post it here for posterity. It's simple really.

Digg gets 0wn3d by its own Community

profitpapers@gmail.com (Miles Evans) — Wed, 02 May 2007 10:00:46 -0800

Forget about what I was blathering about yesterday over the autodigg hack. What happened shortly after I posted that was much crazier. As it turn out the HD DVD cypher was cracked and posted on the internet recently, much as it was for the original DVD back in 2001 when Jon Johansen (DVD Jon) released DeCSS.

AutoDigg Exploit Confirmed!

profitpapers@gmail.com (Miles Evans) — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 14:59:58 -0800

I saw something quite amazing today, and had to make sure I wasn't seeing things before I posted this. This story might go away also so I figured I would get it up before digg pulls the rug out. I am sure this will be news at some point soon so I will reveal this now.

Oh Canadian Fedex Lady!

This YT video is simply too funny not to post. It also has the side benefit of ripping on Apple!

Maintaining high SERP rankings is a full time job. Chances are you have watched your hard earned rankings plummet before and know the agony involved in determining why it occurred. So what are some of the main penalties and causes for losing a stellar ranking? Several factors old and new apply.

Crazed Fanboy Plunders Newegg

profitpapers@gmail.com (Miles Evans) — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 23:04:33 -0800

When I was younger I used to work in a PC shop building and fixing computers for customers. It was a crappy job with low pay but the work was really rewarding. The manufacturers used to send OEMs reference boards and beta hardware, and the thrill of using something before anyone else is a damn good one.

Here is a comprehensive list of the most common and useful SEO metrics along with their method of retrieval. Might be handy if you are deving out your own SEO tools or just curious how some of this is gathered.

How is Google Detecting Link Bombing?

profitpapers@gmail.com (Miles Evans) — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 01:51:02 -0800

Whoa first Wikipedia blows away all our authority links and now Google is tinkering with their algorithm to defuse link bombing. I for one have been wondering for some time why they didn’t hand edit these suckers out as I would guess many people assume Google itself thinks George Bush really is a miserable failure.

Why the iPhone Sucks

profitpapers@gmail.com (Miles Evans) — Sun, 14 Jan 2007 23:12:41 -0800

So I saw the keynote, the videos, the renderings, the fanboy rants, the Engadget traffic slurp, the digg gush, the Dvorak whining, and all the assorted iPhone blather. I mean it was unavoidable. Easily the most successful and least expensive viral marketing bulldozer since panty hose. Amazing! That’s where my fascination with this self proclaimed breakthrough product ends and just plain common sense takes over.

I just noticed Marc Macalua back on Dec 30th (found in my referrer logs!) and since I don’t have anything useful to write about lately why not blather on about myself for a few minutes…

Christmas in Phuket

profitpapers@gmail.com (Miles Evans) — Fri, 22 Dec 2006 20:15:16 -0800

Wow two freaking months and no blog posts. Am I lazy or what? The truth is I have been embroiled in some exciting web 2.0 projectz and have just come up for air. Most of my team is taking a break over the holidays and I am following suit with 7 days in sunny Phuket in the south of Thailand. This is also the site of the 2004 tsunami where I was 2 years ago at this exact same time.

Publish on Demand: Jeremy Robinson Talks POD

profitpapers@gmail.com (Miles Evans) — Thu, 19 Oct 2006 14:15:20 -0800

I went to an expensive business conference recently and after the keynote speech the speaker handed out his professionally bound book with DVD for free to everyone in attendance. The book looked just as professional as anything you would find at Borders or Amazon. Cool factor: 5 stars.

Providing this free prize is not only easy but it is becoming incredibly affordable. I ask hit POD author Jeremy Robinson what's the dealio with print-on-demand.

Yahoo Index Update Oct 10, 2006

profitpapers@gmail.com (Miles Evans) — Wed, 11 Oct 2006 07:09:20 -0800

Yahoo’s Search Blog posted a weather report on their blog yesterday which seems to have gone almost unnoticed. What this really means is that the Yahoo index was updated some time last night.
