You can opt-out of the Google Analytics sharing, but you can’t opt your site out of the Trends [...]
E-Commerce: No Place for Wimps
Sunday, April 6th, 2008Here is how NOT to be a catalog retailer on the Internet:
Mail out a spring catalog with the new line as the feature

Even So… Live Search is Still Stinky
Friday, February 1st, 2008Rumor is now in the universe that MSN Search is recognizing 301 Redirects.
I will believe it when I see it occur. I am watching about 10 sites to see if it picks up. Even when it does, it will not remove my general belief that MSN Search is stinky.
