Link Cloaking, What is it?

I hear a lot about "link cloaking" and that I should be hiding my affiliate links to keep them from getting hijacked. Is this true? -- Joe S. What is Link Cloaking? Link Cloaking is the technical practice of hiding an actual URL through a link on the local domain, or a through a benign third party domain. URL shorteners, which...

Changing Permalinks in Wordpress Doesn't Have to be Scary

For a website owner who knows anything about search engine optimization, one of the scariest things in the world is changing the URL structure. Not only do you need to make sure the pages work on the new URLS, bu you have to make sure that all of your old urls properly redirect to the new ones. One mistake can cost you all existing...

OMG! Disqus Outage

There was a pretty major outage this morning at Disqus. Those of us who are using their Javascript plugin, comments simply disappeared from our blogs. Those of us who are using the beta plugin that puts the comments into the page on the back-end had some ugly PHP warnings. Disabling the plugin will bring back the old school wordpress...

Hacking Disqus

No video for this post today. It's just pure geekery that just cannot be made any less geeky or any more interesting by staring at my talking head. Have I mentioned before that I <3 Disqus? I think maybe I have. And a big thanks to the disqus guys for adding in a quick feature request I had that allowed me to pull my own disqus...

The Action is in the Comments

My favorite part of blogging has always been the comments. I enjoy participating in discussions on other blogs and I love when lively discussions happen on my own blog posts. It's what keeps me going. I love comments! It totally blows my mind when bloggers have comments disabled on their website, or even when people require accounts...

Excluding Posts from Your Wordpress Feed

"rabbit rabbit". Happy March. While it's not my primary blogging subject, I've got a major subculture here around the subject of DIY electronics repair. My Samsung DLP television is my usual guinea pig, and I get a decent amount of traffic on that topic. Naturally, I want to write more about that and I have plans to do so, but...

Attack of the Comment Monkeys

Due to my long-time use of do-follow, this blog has become identified as a high pagerank do-follow blog. I do believe that the use of dofollow has had positive impact on this blog, but I'm heavily targeted by what must be cheap-labor outsourced blog comment farms. These are real people posting pseudo-real comments on my old posts. ...

Rocktober Round-Up. What a Month!

There's just a whole bunch of stuff going on here and while it's not normally my style, I thought I'd throw a bunch of stuff together in a composite post. It's Halloween! Here at MechMedia (my company), Halloween is our Christmas. Our most popular website is a costume ideas and community site called CostumZee. (yeah, we have a bit of a...

Blog Commenters: White, Black, and Gray

I am in complete agreement with the no-nofollow/dofollow movement in the blogger community. I've had the dofollow plugin on this blog a few years now. I love getting comments, and I think that an outbound link is the least I can do for someone who has spent time on a meaningful reply to one of my posts. There's a growing trend,...

Joining the iphone ranks

I am writing this from my seat on a plane in Atlanta using my new iphone courtesy of shareasale. Typing is a challlenge with my fat thumbs but improving even as I write this.

Safari, I've Missed You

I have been a die-hard Safari user even since I switched over to OS X several years ago. I've always liked it's clean, tabbed interface, as well as other little things like being able to visit non-linked urls (check it out. highlight a url, right-click, go.). That's not to say that I haven't flirted with other browsers. I used Camino...

Widgets Galore

In the past few weeks I've been speaking to a lot of people. The most commonly asked question is, "where are the widgets?" So, I got right on that. We've been testing a few widgets for Bumpzee.com for the past week or so. The first one we released was a small "bump this" link and graphic that you put on one of your blog posts and it...

Affiliate Summit West Overload and Aftermath

Reflecting on Affiliate Summit, I had a great time. For me, having worked in this industry for so long, it is a highschool reunion, except fun. I met dozens of old friends, and made some new ones. What is truly amazing to me, however, is the people who were (apparently) there, but I missed completely. I was at pretty much every event,...

WriteToMyBlog. a New AJAX Blog authoring tool

As I think I've written about before here, I'm contstantly in search of a good Blog writing software. Today, I came across WriteToMyBlog, an online blog editor. The concept is pretty cool. A web-based AJAXy editor that allows posting of blog entries to any, or many, of your blogs (a feature I've never seen before). It's pretty simple. ...

A Practical Look at LMI

The Commission Junction Link Management Initiative (LMI) has prompted a strong reaction from affiliates. CJ is planning a change their link structure from plain HTML links over to mandatory use Javascript links. While some may feel that "links are links", or that it must be fine because similar offerings, like Google Adsense and Yahoo...

MacJournal 4 First Impressions

I’ve just upgraded to MacJournal 4 and am just using it now for the first time to write this blog entry. I previously reviewed MacJournal 3 several months almost a year ago, and was impressed with it. I even registered it. I am, however, a fickle software user and stopped using it. I’d since changed to using Ecto to edit...
