Namesco Hosting Review and Comparison

26 April, 2008 (11:20) | Uncategorized | By: wadblogger

Save money on Namesco Hosting packages with lower cost and greener alternatives for hosting Joomla, WordPress, Forum and OSCommerce sites.
clipped from www.weycrest.co.uk
Rather than spend hours comparing UK Web Hosts Weycrest are doing it for you! Namesco think they have a great starter package, but not when you compare their features and prices with the Weycrest Personal Plan. This comparison will also apply to all of Namesco’s other brands which include Simply.Com, Cheapnames.co.uk, CheapDomainNames.co.uk, Net2.co.uk, 123domainnames.co.uk, XSessions.com, NDO.com and Names123.com

Details accurate as at 23 April 2008. We have also given the Namesco the benefit by including their “half price” special offer for the first year, so Namesco prices are only correct for the first year. The following year they would double in price.

Cheap Green UK Web Hosting

26 April, 2008 (11:05) | Uncategorized | By: wadblogger

UK Web Hosting Provider offer Carbon Offset and Environmentally Friendly Web Hosting
clipped from www.hostedintheuk.com

Weycrest have relocated their business operation in an eco friendly business centre in East London, next to the River Thames, opposite the “famous” O2 Arena. The buildings are constructed entirely from recycled shipping containers! This tends to play havoc with local wireless networks due to the “Faraday Cage” effect, but this is to some extent appropriate as Michael Faraday conducted his original lighting experiments in conjunction with Trinity House from adjacent Lighthouse on the site (the only lighthouse on the River Thames).


Some time ago we realised our web servers may be contributing to CO2 emissions so decided to take some time helping to reduce the effects of global warming by cutting down on our ‘carbon footprint’.

Dell’s Lawsuit Reveals Lucrative Domain Name Business

6 February, 2008 (15:49) | Uncategorized | By: wadblogger

A legal case brought by Dell is apparently revealing the “enormous” sums of money made by Web Pages full of paid advertising links.

Each of the websites in question was monetised and has advertising provided by Google Adsense and Google was ordered to hold the first $1 million collected in a special account “on behalf of the defendants each month. The second $1 million that accrues in the account every month will be given to the defendants. If more than $2 million accrues in one month, the money is split between the defendants and the Google account.”

Will News Corp swap MySpace for Yahoo?

5 February, 2008 (00:40) | search engines | By: wadblogger

Things are hotting up in the search engine battle. Rupert Murdoch’s New Corp is apparently interested in swapping MySpace for Yahoo, whilst Yahoo looks to Google in a defensive alliance.

clipped from business.timesonline.co.uk

News Corporation has discussed swapping MySpace, its internet social
networking unit, with Yahoo! in return for a 30 per cent stake in the
enlarged group.

The discussions remain tentative and could collapse after the departure of
Terry Semel as Yahoo!’s chief executive and his replacement by Jerry Yang
this week. Mr Yang, co-founder of Yahoo! and incoming chief executive,
yesterday pledged to “dig in” to his new role, and acknowledged the
difficult task he faces to arrest the decline in the internet portal’s
shares.

Twitter Pays the Rent

4 February, 2008 (18:42) | Twitter | By: wadblogger

Interesting post. This blogger has found Twitter useful in breaking news, which enabled him to hit the frontpage of Digg and recommends some useful tools to interact with Twitter.

This weekend will mark one month that I’ve been writing over at Read/WriteWeb and doing consulting. In my previous stints as an online news writer (which I missed very much) I was often able to break news faster than my tech blogging competitors primarily through some advanced use of RSS feeds, which I wrote about here. I’m still doing that in this job, but there’s a new tool that’s making a huge impact on my reporting – Twitter!

Changes at Digg

1 February, 2008 (00:49) | Uncategorized | By: wadblogger

Digg is fighting a war against spammers, but the owners lack of communication over algorithm changes is hitting the producers of good new stories, which Lyndon details on his popular blog.
clipped from www.cornwallseo.com

Basically, people are pissed at the lack of communication with those who run digg and also over changes in the algorithm which mean some need over 200 voted to make it to the front page.

Short version: digg is changing, adapting with the times. They are in an arms race with the spammers and I hope they win. Problem is, people like me who provide great content for digg get caught in the crossfire and sometimes struggle to get the good stuff to the top. Will it be easier for the good stuff to get to the front page? Can’t say, not yet, we have to see how this current dust up settles.

Do it write! 9 SEO agency site copywriting sins…
Just before I start yet another post pointing out flaws here, there and everywhere, I’ll stick my hands up and say I’m as guilty of this as anyone else. Cliched statements and claims that tend to be found on SEO agency / consultant sites – stuff that is usually written as a sales pitch, but if we thought about it carefully then we probably wouldn’t do it.

Why people believe weird things about money – LA Times

14 January, 2008 (12:34) | Uncategorized | By: wadblogger

Would you rather earn $50,000 a year while other people make $25,000, or would you rather earn $100,000 a year while other people get $250,000? Evolution it seems accounts for a lot of our strange ideas about money.
