Bloggers: So What Part Of "Your Fly Is Open" Didn’t You Understand?
Search Engine Watch Forums

"Problems with blog spam? Shouldn’t those who created blogging software and systems have realized the problems inherent in leaving doors open?"

Cre8asite Forums

"The crucial factor is that however good a newspaper article may be, when you’ve reached the end of the article, you’ve reached the end of the article.

Search Engine Watch Forums

"…advertisers shouldn’t be treated the same as ‘users.’ Some advertisers spend millions of dollars. There’s no explicit security risk or inconvenience if you handle it right as an advertiser, but I would think that a basic degree of respect for such an important business relationship would mean a separate identity for the advertiser account."

Search Engine Watch Forums

"As more and more bloggers look to support work through contextual ads, are they missing out on what affiliate deals and rev-share partnerships offer?"

Why Should a Business Outsource a PPC Campaign
Search Engine Watch Forums
