The time has finally come and maybe you’ve cleaned out the guest bedroom or possibly moved into a new home with a dedicated office you can transform to suit your needs. When you think about it, the basics are a desk, computer or laptop, and a chair to sit in. Though that might be fairly bland and if you don’t shop around, it can get expensive quickly. So here are some ideas to help you get the office of your dreams without breaking the bank. [Read more…]
Interview: Tom Rusling, Text Link Ads
Here, Thord interviews Tom Rusling at Text Link Ads.
Let’s start with you. Who are you and what do you do at Text Link Ads?
I am the Senior SEO Strategist. In that role, I offer resources to Text Link Ads clients that are looking to add a layer of strategy and/or on-page site optimization to their link building campaigns. TLA is by design a self serve network: clients can enter our system and find a huge array of links to choose from. However, often clients are looking for guidance around things like:
- Which keywords should I be targeting?
- How many links should I be buying?
- How fast should I be purchasing links, and how much should I vary my anchor text?
And of course, many clients feel like the links they have acquired with us are not working effectively for them. Often my most important role is to help clients identify technical problems on their site which are impeding the benefit of their link building. Such examples could be incorrect use of redirects, duplicate content issues in all its many vast and wonderful forms, lack of page targeting and keyword dilution, etc. They always come into the conversation blaming the links, but invariably the client and I are able to analyze the problem and identify the source of the problem is something on-page.

If Drew Carey gets 1 million followers by December 31st this year, he’ll donate $1 million to Livestrong. And if he gets less? Well, it’s a buck a follower, so it’ll be money for Livestrong no matter what. Right now @DrewFromTV is at 73,814 followers, but that’ll probably change. [Read more…]
Committee to Protect Bloggers: An Interview
The Committee to Protect Bloggers is an important blog that focuses on bloggers in peril across the world. They broke the story on the Iranian blogger who died in prison some time ago, and they have been doing their very best to keep a watchful eye on the state of the blogosphere in parts of the world where blogging is actually dangerous.
That’s why it was such a shame when Curt Hopkins announced its closure, and such a good thing when Andrew Ford Lyons picked up the reins again. So let’s here what he has to say about Committee to Protect Bloggers and the future. [Read more…]
China’s Censorship Equilibrium
For as long as I’ve been paying attention Chinese internet censorship has always seems to fluctuate around an equilibrium, typically dependent on the social climate.
When there are times of unrest unflattering to China’s global ‘face,’ or even times when there is merely the threat of unrest (i.e. during important anniversaries like the recent 20th anniversary of the Tian’anmen massacre), websites get blocked. When all is relatively well in society, all is well on the internet. [Read more…]
