Just came form holidays. Well, obviously not. Sorry. Just needed to invent some excuse for not writing for such a long time. My holidays ended weeks ago but as it always happens you come back to work only to discover such an enormous backlog that it takes twice as long as my holidays lasted to [...]
We are all hungry for inbound links these days and even more so since the introduction of nofollow which I personally hate as it did not solve a bit the problem of comment spam it was supposed to solve but had a detrimental effect on social networks and blogsphere in particular. It turned all of [...]
As you might have noticed from my post about EXIF I am certainly fascinated by the opportunity to squeese out a bit more of SEO not only from the traditional textual content but also from visuals. Every little bit counts and if you can enhance visibility of your site by just another grain, however small [...]
Internet censorship seems to be a rather far-fetched issue until it actually affects you directly and personally. I admit I do things that make a lot of people angry and this time it seems Yahoo! Inc itself decided to get angry with me! I perfectly well know why as my post on Yahoo handcrafting describing [...]

By the time of writing I only had rumours to rely on, today a hard-proof is at hand. This screenshot published on Flickr by a rather unthoughtful Yahoo employee gives us the following: [...]
As you might have noticed from my post the other day I was a bit ironic about Google Webmaster Tools thingy. It’s been noticed by many that even those highly publicized innovations like backlink checker are not working as even a simple Yahoo Site Explorer search like this one gives you much more links that [...]
As I noticed elsewhere already, Yahoo had gone crazy. Now it seems it’s a deliberate strategy. It looks like they’ve got offended by Google’s near-monopoly and decided to aid those who are more than happy to exhaust Googlebot and Google spam-filters with millions of pages of duplicate content. First Yahoo makes their Y360 blog service [...]
During the recent google dance not only we suffered the usual (i. e. disappearance of entire sites together with jumping PR) but also it stopped displaying backlinks in any comprehencible manner. I switched to Yahoo! Site Explorer to see my backlinks! But now, hurray! The announcement comes from the babe-swamped heart of Googleplex – you [...]
When you go through SEO FAQ pages or ask an average SEO guru or a Search Engine spokesperson if Search Engine Ranking of your site can be deliberately harmed by your competitor the answer is always short and definitive: NO, no site can be harmed this way. Work to improve your site and you will [...]
