NoFollow and PageRank Sculpting is it Worth the Effort

Michael Gray - Graywolf SEO Bloghttp://www.wolf-howl.com/seo/nofollow-pagerank-sculpting-worth-effort/ [Michael Gray - Graywolf SEO Blog] I have always thought that some folks take PR sculpting way to seriously.

Turning Off Blog Comments

Keith Hill's Bloghttp://keithhill.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!5A8D2641E0963A97!6656.entry [Keith Hill's Blog] I’ve had enough of the comment spam and I ain’t taking it no more.  I’ve been wasting too much time deleting (using Live Spaces rather lame blog management UI) comment spam.  I’ve seen enough “Wow gold” and “cheap laptop battery” from a certain region of the world to last me for a life time.  To those few, in that region, who abuse this wonderful medium, may your hard drive’s heads gouge deeply into each platter and your CPUs melt into a pile of silicon junk.  Somedays don’t you wish there was a *69 equivalent for the internet?  :-)

Spam Karma Goes GPL

Aaron Toponce[Aaron Toponce] However, the reason for Dave making Spam Karma GPL has nothing to do with Free Software, but more to the fact that he is no longer supporting the utility, and hopes by making it GPL, the community will pick it up, and run with it. I hope so too, because while I’m a major proponent of Free Software, I won’t run outdated, unsupported software either.

Create A.htaccess File Without Referral Spam

Affiliates Information Blog[Affiliates Information Blog] Any web browser or HTTP client is free to send a forged Referrer: header with any request to a web server.
