I find myself spending more time than ever before watching or reading technology related news stories. I’d like to say it’s hardly susprising really, given the industry I’m involved in. But the truth lies more with the fact that I normally get given the remote for the channel hopper well close to midnight after ‘The Family’ have given up on the day and saunter off to lullaby mountain.

The Blogging world got struck with a backhander from Google a few weeks back when they announced that they had changed the way the dealt with the ‘nofollow’ attribute especially with the way pageRank flows through a site. I’m not getting into any debate here, as Google announced that their change was implemented over a year ago and no-one noticed, so coughing up some lame ‘right-back-atcha’ Google response ain’t going to hold anything worthwhile, so why even attempt it.
I have been playing with Microsoft’s new search engine, ‘Bing.com‘ and you know what, I like what I see. Its fast, uncluttered and the results are none too shabby either.

Over the weekend I travelled down to Leeds to attend the Think Visibility one-day conference hosted by Dominic ‘The Hodge’ Hodgson and the Think Visibility team. It has to be stated, days prior to my departure, I was not in the best of health, in fact my wife and family were in heavy persuasion mode to get me to just stay at home and recuperate. Despite, their attention (2 yr olds can be so persuasive when telling Daddy to stay at home) I climbed into the car and decided that Leeds should at least share in the ‘Tropical Disease‘ that was coursing through my brittle bones. And off to Think Visibility I went!
There are a number of Free SEO tools available on the Internet but I’d thought I would share the tools that are not only my favorites but which are also part of my everyday working SEO toolbox. Seeing as they are free they might have some less functionality than there paid equivalents, so with this in mind I have pointed out what I feel are their main points along with their bad ones.
I recently registered with SEOrce a social click-bank website available in beta mode from Chris Gray – SEOrce CEO. So how does it all work. The idea is simple (as usually the best ideas are) you register with the SEOrce website and download their widget/code and insert it into an existing/new page on your site.

Today I finished reading my copy of Visibility Magazine a free SEO & Internet Marketing published offering available for just a sign-up.
The magazine is heavily sponsored by some of the big guns in the industry, Bruce Clay, SEO Image, Top SEOS among many others as you would imagine. I’m pretty sure most of you have a copy on your desktop.
