For those that have experienced issues with PayPal holding their money or from some stories I've heard, just outright closing accounts and keeping your money, it looks like a class action law suit is being filed against the company, in the United States. There is more information here - this...

Just feel like rambling, don't bother reading if you're not into reading something a bit maudlin - just sitting here, thinking back over some things in my life, and been up all night, mostly working on a new site while reading BHW posts. Really thankful for that. This past night and today will...

This really hits close to home - my ex-wife (whom I am still on friendly terms with) and her husband, along with one of my sons who still lives with his mom and her husband's son lost everything in a house fire in Eastern Ontario yesterday. It's heartbreaking for me; even more devastating for...

http://www.seroundtable.com/google-penguin-links-15590.html I am leaning towards thinking MC and Google are playing games. The sites that I have seen that tanked after Penguin had very nice natural backlink profiles, but over optimized onsite. With some of that cleaned up, I've seen sites come...

I've been trying to login to PayPal for a couple of hours now and haven't been able to. I checked with someone else that lives locally (south western Ontario, Canada) and they weren't able to either. Anyone else having any issues connecting to PayPal this afternoon? It's about 2:45PM EDT right...

Some of you might already be aware of this; others may appreciate knowing - but there is an interesting website that offers free courses from 16 different Universities throughout the world. I am taking the Internet History, Technology and Security course which is really interesting (at least the...

I have a site that has ranked #3 for months for a keyword phrase - nothing too competitive - but this evening, it just plunged from #3 to #50. I have done nothing to the site as far as link building, or any kind of off site SEO so it is a bit curious. A similar but different keyword phrase...

I am fairly new here and have posted some replies to a few threads in the past few weeks. I always stayed away from this forum in the past, because of it's name.. "Black Hat World," but just goes to show that you can't judge a book by its cover. Indeed, over the past three weeks I have come to...

Matt Cutts has just tweeted: Minor weather report: We pushed 1st Penguin algo data refresh an hour ago. Affects <0.1% of English searches. Context: t.co/ztJiMGMi

I have a website that got hit very hard by Penguin. Previously, it ranked on the first page for a variety of keyword phrases that are highly searched in its niche. Now, the site bounces around between page 49 and page 56 of Google's SERP's for those main keywords. The site was started ten years...

Has anyone used "The Traffic Brain" by Howie Schwartz? I have created several "projects" using this service and started about three weeks ago. Thus far, I've not noticed anything positive or negative for sites and keywords I'm targeting. I'm interested in knowing about anyone else's...

I am seeing really strange log file entries - today, on one of my client's sites, Googlebot attempted to visit hundreds of non-existent pages with really odd file names that have nothing to do with his business or website. For example: /ohio/wrongful_death/city_list_g.php...
