Google Sitemap Errors

Posted by & filed under Blogging, Google, Wordpress.

I hate updating WordPress, especially minor updates. Sometimes I forget to reactivate some plugins. It wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t have some plugins just sitting in the folder that I am not using or else I would get the "Activate All" plugin, but I know there is a few in there that I haven’t deleted yet. Those plugins will turn my blog into a nice clean white page. Great if I wanted to use my laptop screen as a dry erase board but not much else.  Read more...

Search the bookmarks is not enough. What would be cool is if a site could spider the pages of your own person bookmarks, so that you could search within the page of the bookmark. Not the whole site, just the one page. Or possibly if you bookmarked the index url, the whole site.  Read more... (235 words, estimated 56 secs reading time)

Google Adwords Campaign Optimizer

Posted by & filed under Advertising, Adwords, Google.

Just found this today in my Adwords account. Does it work? Yes. But you have to check everything out first.

Of course, they optimize your keywords up to number one position. So unless your ready to start paying out the teeth, you have to take these suggestions with a grain of salt. It’s great for long tail keywords. But many times a lower position with better ad copy will win out. Let all the new "kill ‘em all" hot shot advertiser’s pay out the teeth.  Read more...
