Spammers don’t just linkspam Wikipedia, they use various methods to gather the links they need to get their sites on top of the organic search results. One of the new methods in the last months has been spamming the social bookmarking networks like Digg and del.icio.us.

Wikipedia Link Nazi’s
Jaimie of SEO Egghead has a wonderful post on Wikipedia editor being link nazi’s, with a wonderful picture to illustrate just what he means with the term “nazi” as well. His experiences with the editorial team of Wikipedia: he wrote the article on link-bait and quoted Rand Fishkin, Matt Cutts, Aaron Wall, and linked to…
Favicons and your online brand
One of the nicer things to have changed with the release of IE7, which is now in automatic updates, is the way it handles favicons. In the IE6 past it would show them in the location bar only when you had the site bookmarked. Now it always shows them, and in the tab bar as…
ReviewMe
Note: this is a sponsored post I got an email today from Text-Link-Ads, saying that my site had been pre-approved for ReviewMe. I thought: now that’s the way to go, that is an awesome marketing action. They probably just automatically pre-approved all Text-Link-Ad approved sites, and sent out an email, easy to do, and that’s…

If you find any statistics programs it doesn’t recognize, please do let me know so I can update it. Update: I added…
W3C Validator API
The W3C announced the release of an API for the HTML validator or rather, that’s what they call it. In fact, it’s nothing more than an output filter on their normal validator output, which gives SOAP 1.2 conforming output. It requires a HTTP request though, which makes it a rather funny “API” to deal with.
PHP5 and NUSOAP
So last weekend I installed PHP5 on my server, to finally be able to do some new stuff, and this, it seemed, created some trouble with my SEO scripts that used NUSOAP. What is the problem? Well it’s easy: PHP5 has a soapclient built in, and this causes trouble :).
