It looks like Sedo.com and Sedo.co.uk, the search engine for domain names, has been hacked, and apparently is hosting malware on their web site. These messages started appearing to visitors of both Sedo.com and Sedo.co.uk within the past 24 hours, and I have verified that users are still getting these messages.

Seniors and Chocolate
As I sat and pondered what to blog about, I nibbled a piece of chocolate hoping for some divine inspiration (after all chocolate is heavenly, right)? It made me wonder if anyone has done a study on chocolate and seniors.
comScore January 2012 Search Engine Rankings
Every month about this time comScore releases the search engine rankings data, and I report it here. These are not the actual search engine rankings that you see when you search at a search engine, which are constantly changing. Think of this more as the “market share” for the search engine industry.
The Frager Factor: Seller Schilling, Meet Buyer Whiteley: Ta
“I hadn’t dealt with Frank before and didn’t know who I was dealing with. The prices were high – but they are good domain names and I should get good returns by using them. I think the fascinating thing at the moment is that there still isn’t really a fixed way of valuing a domain yet.”

Is a Microsoft Word Resume Still Acceptable?
Standing Dog is hiring. And we have been receiving a lot of resumes for various open positions that we have, some in social media, some in Search Engine Optimization, and even in the Creative (web design, etc.) areas. I know that standard resumes in Microsoft Word are acceptable. But to stand out, is it acceptable to submit a resume that is a littl
Conde Nast Purchases 285 Reddit Domain Names
When large groups of domain names are purchased such as the one I came across today, most of the time it indicates that the company purchasing them has major plans in the works. That happened today, when I was alerted to the fact that Conde Nast Digital, the folks behind the popular Reddit website, purchased a few hundred domain names. These are no
Microsoft Moves Synsup Labs Domain Names
In April 2011 I first reported that Microsoft had acquired 47 domain names related to something (a brand or a company) named Synsup Labs. Those domain names had previously been pointed to the Bing.com search results. Now, the total number of domain names related to Synsup Labs that Microsoft owns is an even 50 domain names, and a name server has be
Microsoft Acquires 47 SynsupLabs Domain Names
In an interesting acquisition today by Microsoft, the company acquired 47 domain names and has pointed them to the Bing.com search engine. I usually watch the list of Microsoft domain names and have not seen such a large acquisition of new domain names in a long time. Perhaps this is the indication of a new product, a new service, or upcoming proje
Google Anymote Coming Soon?
Is the next Google product going to be called Google Anymote? It appears that Google is working on a new product or service called Google Anymote, which I could see being related to or perhaps even the next generation of Google Android.

There are several reasons why you should make it a habit of checking in on foursquare, the social networking web site, while you go about your daily activities.

How To Download And Use Your Facebook Information
Facebook has recently been under fire (a lot, I might add) for privacy issues and privacy concerns. I have even written about Facebook email privacy that has gone awry. Many people (not me) are concerned about what they share amongst their friends on Facebook. Some of my family members are concerned about other people (mainly the public) learning a
Search Engine Optimization - How you can Identify Search Engine Ranking Problems with Your Website
I often speak to individuals who declare that they are struggling from poor search engine rankings. Regardless of what you do, you simply can t discover your web site in Google–and sometimes it’s not just the keywords the websites is targeting, the website can t be discovered for the company’s name. In any situation, the website is definitely suffe
Google Moving Google Map Image in Search Results

Google has recently moved the Google Map imag
No SEO for Web Marketing Association Best Web Sites
The Web Marketing Association has called the best Web Sites in 96 various classes. The awards are out today.

What is Next for Rod Blagojevich?
After 14 days of deliberations the jurors were unable to reach a verdict on all but one count in Governor Blagojevich’s trial. So the question on everyone’s mind who is following this case is what is likely to happen next. Before I attempt to answer that questions I want to recap a little history.
Is there a Best Time to Make a Blog posting?
I've been asked more than and more than again by many different people. And almost certainly you've most likely been wondering. When may be the greatest time to post a blog post? Is there a certain time of day time and day time of the week when it is perfect to post your write-up or blog post on your weblog? Yes, there definitely is really a much better time than other people. And there even is really a much better day of the week. But, the real answer is this: it is dependent.

Dr. Howard Bellin: Beyonce Music Makes Nose Jobs Better
I m a fan because I have to admit...many of my patients like the fact that we play Beyonce s music when we perform Rhinopasty operations (nose jobs). Apparently they just end up looking better when her music is playing in the background. We have actually tested this theory, and the Beyonce music definitely helps our patients nose jobs.
Search Engine Optimization: Why We Still Need Meta Tags
Combined with the title tag, I still believe that as online marketers we absolutely need to make sure that we continue to populate these meta tags correctly and appropriately on all pages of our websites or our clients websites even though some search engines do not use certain tags for ranking purposes.
