Tool: Cognitive SEO Version 2: A Linkbuilders Tool

SEO’s love tools. If they can’t find tools that will help them succeed in their job they will build the tools themselves if necessary.

My Hard Drive Crash Experience – Why I Am Ditching Carbonite For Dropbox

One day after getting through one of the worst MYSQL database failures of my life, my work computer hard drive crashes. It was a tough week to say the least. It’s funny, the last time my hard drive crashed, I lost everything. I was devastated because I had to start over on so many projects, had so many lost photos, memories, documents, etc. It was then that I went backup crazy. I got dropbox,...

Are we Lost in Google Translation?

Following on from my previous post in 2010, where I looked at the value of various apps in the market place, I thought now was a good time to reflect back – an eighth month review if you will.

Take Advantage of Google Related

Google Related, the new toolbar add on for Chrome, appears at the bottom of your screen to make related suggestions.

Tool Review: SpyFu

In my opinion, SpyFu is a great little tool for generating new keywords. Your competitors have no doubt gone to great lengths to think of new keywords that they can use in their search advertising campaigns.  Imagine if you could see their keyword list?  SpyFu does exactly this. Using SpyFu, you are able to specify a competitor and then look at a list of all the keywords that they have been found...

As an affiliate, you manage a lot of links. Between all of your affiliate offers and your landing pages, you have a major interest in the status of your links. So, how do you manage all of them without wasting a ton of time and resources? Now that’s a question worth asking. That’s why I was so interested when Afftime approached me to do a review. They allow members to check the uptime of...

Edge – The Latest Design Tool from Adobe

In the latest round of HTML5/CSS3 versus Flash, Adobe has released a preview of their new design tool Edge. It allows users to create animations using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript without knowing how to write the code.

Occasionally, I come across a really cool product that I can’t wait to tell people about. Recently, it was the WeWOOD watch product line.

The company emerged from Italy and is currently located in Los Angeles. They’re all about keeping the watches...
