This might have been the most annoying thing I ve had to do in a while... As you re probably well aware, the pesky category level that shows up in your category page URL s was practically impossible to get the hell off... All the ones I found worked to some degree, but there was always some problem that I didn t like... You ve got the Category Base Killer plugin which seemed to work fine at first, but pagination wouldn t work and apparently there is a problem with having a subcategory or a category with a parent... There is the Top Level Category plugin, which worked only if you added an extension to your post names... First some caveats: 1) I m using the Thesis Wordpress Theme (great theme by the way)... (Tip: I comment in // $$$ Custom code // where I put in my own stuff so it s easy to find and fix when Wordpress updates) So, here is the solution: 1) In wp-includes/category-template.php search for the following line of code: $catlink = get_option( ' home ' ) ... user_trailingslashit($catlink, ' category ' ); Just below that, insert the following: $catlink = str_replace( ' /category ' , "", $catlink); 2) In wp-includes/classes.php search for the following block of code: if ( isset($error) ) $this->query_vars[ ' error ' ] = $error; Just below that, insert the following:... … View Post »

Please forgive the remodeling, I decided it was time to take my theme from 2005 that was so hacked to pieces and upgrade to Thesis , an actual professionally done theme... Anyway, the point of this post is Think Tank 2008 from DK and Purposeinc is coming up very soon and there are only a couple spots left so get on it if you want to go... This is a conference that s not really a conference which I m totally pumped about... Informal conversations and group think is where the great ideas come from, not from watching the 43rd damn powerpoint presentation in a room filled with a couple hundred people... There will be some very powerful players sharing their knowledge in a closed setting and it s information that won t be leaked (NDA required)... John Andrews will be attending and if you follow him at all you know he s not fond of conferences so that s says a lot right there... There will also be lots of activities going on and I m pretty sure there will be lots of beer there... … View Post »

Here is the summary of their product : Quality Level - Price per 100 Words 2 - good - $1.00 3 - very good - $1.40 4 - excellent - $2.00 5 - professional - $6.70 Okay, I don t know why there isn t a 1 - mediocre but that s a non-issue... I clicked on their sample article for each level of service, and found typos and errors in all of them, which obviously didn t give them any points... Here is what I got back (in less that 12 hours, so quick turnaround): The Basics Of Search Engine Optimization In order to be pulled up on the internet you have to be found and that is the basic idea of search engine optimization... In order to get the most out of the search engine optimization you need to use a lot of keywords that other people will be searching for... How to Ask Your Wife If She Would Be Interested in Polygamy While polygamy may be frowned upon by most people who are unfamiliar with the lifestyle, it can actually offer many benefits for those who choose to practice it... Tell her about the benefits of a polygamist lifestyle This lifestyle has many benefits, the most important of which is that it is very family and community oriented... With a woman, talking is always one of the best solutions to any problem...

So Bido.com launched yesterday and I scored the first domain ever... Anyway, some of you loyal readers might be unaware since this is primarily an SEO blog (or rather a rant filled time wasting blog) so I ll fill you in... They only do one domain per day with a one hour auction... The second unique thing is their seller guarantee... There is no reserve on all their auctions and when you place your domain for sale you list a reasonable price expectation... Finally, another unique point is the social aspect of the whole thing... The highest on a resale basis was $5000 and something like $20,000 for and end user ... Yesterday they didn t have an automatic time extension (correction: they did have an extension) for bids below five minutes, which was good for me because I creeped in at 2 minutes and snagged it from Horney ... … View Post »
There s been a week of useless banter about SMX advanced last week... In reality, this sums up my position but I digress... We ve got there s no such thing as advanced white hat SEO , advanced SEO doesn t mean spamming , to blackhat SEO isn t advanced blah blah yadda yadda... Most SEO s that I know come from a marketing background... But really what he said wasn t anything even remotely new to anyone that does any blackhat already so get over it people... There were a few things that you usually hear in the corner of the bar, and in my opinion, that s great... Now, on to the ever controversial post from Bruce Clay because apparently I get under Lisa s skin ... This gives them far more targeted content and a better user experience, but it is considered blackhat cloaking to Google without question... … View Post »
