    Why Calacanis Should Not Be Allowed to Speak at Conferences

    Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

    Should I be taking this flamebait? No, probably not. But as promised last time I did, these are going to be few and far between. And I’ve kept that promise. Sometimes a guy just needs to rant on a soapbox for a bit. I have fought the urge to do a post like this in […]

    Saturday, April 12th, 2008

    That’s right. I am officially pleading with Microsoft.

    Ok, so first off allow me to say that courtesy of the blackhats and mainstream SEO community I’ve met since my start in this industry, I’ve learned a lot. I accept many things on the idea that people have been doing this longer than me, know more than me(especially on the “people” level, rather than […]

    Friday, January 11th, 2008

    Introduction
    Whenever someone downloads a free template or a wordpress theme, there is a certain understanding that yeah, there will probably be a backlink or two to the creator in the footer. I’m fine with this.
    There are only 3 situations where I will remove these footer links.
