The more I read about SEO (Search Engine Optimization) techniques the more I come to the conclusion that it’s all a bunch of crap. Well, okay… let’s say instead that there’s really only ONE technique and the rest is all a bunch of hype.
Here it is folks. What you are about to read is what thousands of people pay thousands and thousands of dollars a month for:
- Don’t try.
Okay, so I’m only partially serious. I mean, I am serious, but I’m not at the same time.
Out of all the sites I’ve worked on, the ones that rank the best seem to be the ones I try the least on. Okay, so that’s only partially true. The only thing I usually try to do is keep the URLs void of lots of ? and &’s.
Are there people out there that try hard, and do really well because of their efforts? Yes, and if we built similiar sites, they’d get higer rankings in search engines. I’m just sayin’ that if you’re not going to try really hard, you might as well not try at all. Maybe.
I can’t count how many times I’ve read “content is king”, “content is what matters most”, “content content content”. Why is this an issue? Does anyone really read this stuff and think “wow! they’re right!” I mean, hello!! Of course it is!
Ok, I’m done with this short, tounge in cheek rant.

Ruby on Rails has been all the buzz for a while now. I first watched some of the video presentations a few weeks ago. Today I went back to www.rubyonrails.com after hearing that they released version 1.0. I don’t remember if it was there before or not, but on their screencasts page they say “Going back to your former treadmill after being exposed to these movies can prove exceedingly painful. Don’t say we didn’t try to warn you.” Well yeah, I was warned, but man it really is painful after watching those videos.
I’ve had these two books for a week or so now, but haven’t had time to start reading. I’m getting anxious!

I’ve never been accused of spyware/malware until today. Must say I’m a bit surprised.
I promise that my software contains no spyware, malware, adware, etc. It’s clean!
The reason I was accused: apparently Kill Docs was causing this users’s computers to not shut down. Windows XP would just sit there until he manually killed the Kill Docs process. I’ve never seen that before, anyone else had this problem?
