These posts will basically just be random things I’ve found, heard or seen as well as anything interesting that may of happened on here recently.

So, welcome to the very first one! Here’s the round up…

Shoemoney vs Danny Sullivan – SEO Debate

This is nice. Shoemoney recently blasted so called SEO experts in a post for being similar to used car salesmen. I totally agree, I have never payed an SEO but based on seeing the services they offer for the prices they offer and knowing how fast and vaguely and randomly SEO, not only changes but does and does not work. I think it’s a very fickle industry and I would agree that they would tend to promise what they cannot deliver.

Anyway, Danny Sullivan stepped up to defend SEOs and had it out with Shoe on Webmaster radio. Here’s the show:

StumbleUpon Voted Most Popular by ProBlogger Readers

Darren Rowse aka ProBlogger recently held a reader poll to determine the most popular social bookmarking site among them. So, here are the results…

1st Place – StumbleUpon

2nd Place – Delicious

3rd Place – Digg

(the rest don’t matter, 1,2 and 3 are what counts! come on people!)

So looks like StumbleUpon has been crowned king of social bookmarking by ProBlogger readers! I would definitely vote SU too. I just love the idea, even now. Just thinking about the core idea of SU, it is brilliant. Type of idea you wish you’d thought of.

Although I don’t use social bookmarking sites often or… lets say not as actively often and proper as I should, but the experience I’ve had with SU has far overwhelmed that of Digg or any others. I’ve no doubt a front page Digg article would yield incredible bummed server time and huge bounce traffic but… I’ve yet to have that privilege.

PayPerPlay = Pain in the Ass

This is a new ad company that has launched. Basically… audio ads. Already sound awful? not surprised!

I think this was launched with good intention to be innovative and clinch something that has not been fully exploited but… pay per play audio ads, just really terrible in my opinion. One reason for them being so terrible though is because they autoplay, probably could fiddle with the java to have them not autoplay but I just cannot see this working.

Anyway, just a very bad idea to me. I think the creators maybe thought

“This hasn’t been done yet! it’s going to be huge!”

When sometimes, you have to think to yourself… why hasn’t something been done. Maybe it’s not because somebody hasn’t thought of it but more toward the possibility of the idea being so bad that it’s been thought up… then thought down… then trashed!

Featured on Shoemoney and John Chow, in 2 Days!

A recent post I wrote titled Big Bloggers, Bad Grammar that of which mentioned Shoemoney and John Chow for having noticeably bad grammar at times, got mentioned by both of them!

Which I was really happy about. As you can imagine!

You always write about big bloggers and blogs but never really expect them to mention it or even see it. So many blogs out there, so really chuffed and surprised the post got mentioned on both blogs. Only other big blogger I mentioned not to have mentioned it on his blog is ProBlogger… Darren, care to make up the numbers ?

That’s all for now boys and girls!

Now, bloggers aren’t necessarily writers but still. They do write. I don’t mind bad grammar, I couldn’t care less but it’s quite annoying when you see small time bloggers get hassle about it from what little readers they have. Yet big bloggers like Shoemoney and John Chow have really bad grammar. Understandably John Chow’s first language isn’t English so that’s fair enough but Shoe seems to be openly sloppy. Like, childlike sloppy with his grammar.

My grammar is far from perfect but I at least spell basic words right! come on Shoe, how hard is it to use Spellcheck!

Problogger Darren Rowse also makes a lot of typos and grammar mistakes. Which is quite surprising considering he has nearly 40,000 readers and his blog is about perfecting pretty much every aspect of blogging. Including writing and content. You would think with all those readers he would triple check his posts. I know I would.

Wish I had all those readers!

Ironically the 3 bloggers I just mentioned for having or sometimes having bad grammar are probably my 3 favorite bloggers and some of the only blogs that I actually read on a regular basis. They all tell it like it is, all do what they preach and are all very successful.

Content is more important than the actual grammar of the content anyway.

Pretty pointless post and I’m not having a go at those bloggers. Just pointing out quite a surprising fact that I noticed and I’m sure they’re all aware of anyway. I know Shoemoney is and he doesn’t care. Who does care, why did I even write this!
