I recently updated the blog with a new web design and installed permalinks but in the process the comments were wiped - so I apologise to those that have posted here. I will make it up to those that have posted though as their is space in the footer and I’ll use this to link back to the posters that contributed the most/best comments — which means a link back to your site on every page — now that’s link luv that is.

I’ve had it getting the train into Glasgow. Forget about carbon-offsetting I have done my bit. 10 months commuting a daily grind of 4 trains in total — 3 hours out of my day stuck beside some unknown reading the daily broadsheet and violating my personal space and never mind the screaming inaudible noise from those with their heads plugged into their MP3 players.

So I have finally bitten the bullet and prepared myself for the acid test. I have signed up for an SEO Contest. It is intended as a bit of fun but knowing myself I’ll get too much involved too quickly and my dreaded achilles heel of being too competitive will come to the surface.

I got the shock of my life yesterday when doing a links check on Google for one of the sites I work on I saw this warning message under the Title “This site may harm your computer.”

WTF! Immediately my mind began to race. What have I uploaded recently? What did I link to? How is this possible? It was only when I looked again that I saw the cause of the problem.

Its past this Page Rank update, still waiting on the ol’ TBPR but any day now, so I’d thought I’d share with you all a list of free submission and no reciprocal required directories. To the pro link guys these will be of no use but to the majority of webmasters and guys starting out in SEO these will be a valuable asset in getting your site ranked better.
