Sphinn 3.0


I believe sphinn 3.0 reminds me of an Edsel car. Ford did not ask its customers what they wanted in an automobile and sprang it upon em. The results were one of the worst blunders ever. How did this come to pass?

Sphinn editors decided to stop voting on stories that were new. Before stories were promoted by votes and made the front page. As a result they had fewer viewers. People went to other sites.

Monday, September 06, 2010

Bounce rates


Bounce rates are a major ranking signal for your web pages. This tells a lot to search engines. Like, for example, if users enjoy your pages. This also helps the user experience. If your viewer quickly hit the back arrow. Well, that tell search engines your viewers are not happy campers.

What we can learn from this in SEO is that controversy can gain you links or destroy your career. It is not good to create new enemies. However, the worst is to alienate friends and followers by insulting em.

Wednesday, August 11, 2010

Wealthy cut back on expenses. This means less sales for you. Hopefully, you will adapt in this case. Fact is time is now for expansion. Businesses will either die out or grow up.
