How SEOs Can Protect Themselves Legally

Here are a few snippets from the press release announcing the verdict (emphasis added): Based on the jury’s verdict, Judge Margaret B.

The Contextual Discovery Channel
“Google results without the search!” shrieks TechCrunch. I’m not clicking on this. I’ll offer you what is meant by it from elsewhere. Marissa Mayer from Google has been talking to Michael Arrington of TechCrunch about Contextual Discovery: Contextual discovery, Mayer explained, encompasses “local Search, Maps, Earth, Latitude, and all the [...]
ALT – Not Knowing these 3 Letters could Cost You $6 Million
I’m a frugal person. I used to say cheap, but I know a business owner who reuses his own dental floss – now that’s cheap and probably unsanitary. So when I see a company pay a $6 million settlement for not knowing – or caring – about the most basic [...]

eBay: Where Rickety Old Buses Go to Pasture…

Sneaker Pimps
I’ve always gunned for the underdog. There’s nothing I like more than getting hold of a Web presence of a small company and helping them compete with the bigger boys and girls. Honestly, it’s fun. Whether it’s a small sheet metal shop getting its blog archived by The British Library, [...]
Could You Sleep Without Google?
Would somebody be so kind to inform me as to whether one is not only over the hill but quickly hurtling down the other side of it if the highlight of one’s weekend is purchasing a new bed? At what point in your life does this kind of thing become [...]
