Snail mail – love it or hate it, it is on the decline and has been for a while.

It is kind of sad to me. I love the convenience of paying my bills online and talking to friends and family through phones or computer... but there is a part of me that misses actual handwritten letters.

The United States Postal Service is unfortunately having closings all over the US. Which means people are losing jobs.

Whether it gets totally eliminated or not I don't know...

What do you think? Do you still pay bills through the mail or do you use online methods?

Would you be sad to see your postal service go away?

Over-Optimization Penalty Does Not Exist

For starters, I want to point out that the so-called over-optimization penalty was mentioned, half-fast and off the cuff by Matt Cutts - the mention can be clearly heard here; you tell me what you think.

Now, I'm calling all the logical mathematical SEOs out there, them or just the logical programmic SEO web developer types - something doesn't sit well with me with this so called over-optimization penalty. Can anyone else see how strange it would be for Google to depreciate rankings based on;

keyword density?
similar anchor text?
un-natural link building?

How so?

The news has been spreading for YEARS that Google's the Tip Top of search engines but now suddenly all those GREAT results prior to this "announcement" were poor and they need to "re-evaluate" the content they've been giving us?

Like here, there is too much speculation;

Has G done something different with their image search in the past few days or so?

Hi all, has anyone heard if G has done something different with their image search in the past few days or so? I can search for images, see the image result page, but when I click on an image I get a blank page! Something is being blocked on my end, but I have no idea what.

Nothing has been updated nor changed in the past week that could block anything, and when I disable my firewall it has no effect.

And, it's only happening in IE, not in FF or Chrome.

migration to Sitefinity

We are migrating our websites over to a Sitefinity platform including a WordPress blog. I haven't experience with Sitefinity in the past nor have much knowledge with ASP.NET. I read up that there is a way, but at the stage I am at right now the process is beyond me.

If someone can provide straight-forward steps on how to accomplish this I will be much appreciated.
