The DMOZ mob strikes again…

This weekend I was reading about Shoemoney being extorted by a DMOZ editor. I thought: heck, I’m a DMOZ editor, I don’t want to be associated with stuff like that, let’s see if I can do anything to help. So I posted something like that in the commentthread to the above post, and I added [...]

The trouble with 301 redirects and backlinks

On the SERoundtable the question is raised whether you can check if a site 301 redirects to your website, referring to a thread on the SEW forums and an article by Aaron Wall. That seems quite simple to me, as most of the times you’ll see clicks coming in from sites on which your own [...]

Bidvertiser.net – Text-Link-Advertising

This is a sponsored review. I got a request to do a sponsored review for Bidvertiser for Advertisers. Requests like this are always fun, and this one started off even better, since the people at Bidvertiser really get how this market works. They encouraged me to sign up for their referral program and use the [...]

Selling links? Don’t advertise it openly!

As you might have noticed, I’m a huge fan of 103bees, as I truly think it’s one of the nicest tools out there for bloggers and other people interested in what people were searching for when they reached your site. Today, however, I logged in to my account, and I saw that 103bees is selling [...]

DMOZ and Wikipedia: how it should work

Contrary to the popular saying “DMOZ is dead”, I think it’s not. That combined with the recent Wikipedia nofollow debate made me think. Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia. DMOZ, or the Open Directory Project is “the largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory of the Web”. An encyclopedia should contain references to other articles in that encyclopedia, [...]
