Like Adulterous Women? Google Can Help
Google makes what you might call "moral" judgments with whom is expressly forbidden from advertising on its network. Adultery, though, is apparently not a topic the company will take a stance against.
Google’s Stock Still Creates Uncertainty
Compared to most of the past month, today was a pretty uneventful day for Google’s stock (it gained $7.57). As such, now seems as good a time as any to take a deep breath, sit back, and consider where it might go in the future.
Debunking WordPress SEO “Expert” Articles
I am going to attempt to debunk almost every Wordpress SEO "Expert" article ever written, and in some respects this article even debunks some of the things I have written in the past.
Verizon Changes Heart, Opens Up
