Warmest Greetings,

It's not programming code. It's Rugby they care about. EN-GER-LAND!!!

"I get all my sports news from SEO forums."

We keep him around because he's funny. Harhar

"Three preserved areas of historic burned out cars were disturbed. Many locals were woken before their giros arrived. The local paper reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered. They are still trying to come to terms with the fact that the damage was caused by something else instead of them. "

Some useful stuff:

Affiliate Program - "In your professional "experience" what is the best way to go about affiliate programs?"

Bad Neighborhood Question - "What allows google to know if you are a part of a farm linking system?"

Do you use article syndication? - "I'm thinking about getting article syndication software to help promote my site. Has anyone ever used this kind of software?"


Other:

More toys. Overture & Google Unveil New Advertiser Tools

Yet another monthly shocker from JN. Two Sigma: Usability and Six Sigma Quality Assurance - "On average across many test tasks, users fail 35% of the time when using websites. This is 100,000 times worse than six sigma's requirement, but Web usability can still benefit from a six sigma quality approach. "

How come I didn't get a nice little PR from Looksmart too? Looksmart does something! and in case you missed this hilarious thing from Chris:

Missing PR and Christmas Trees

New blog tool in town. Sparkpod -
"100% web-based blogging service requires no software, no web hosting, and can be set up in 5 minutes, 100% no coding." (quote from URLwire)

Dear Kalena. Hope you're feeling better soon! (But it's nice to have an excuse to rest, eh?)

If you like to give from your heart, here's something interesting to look into. Auctions For A Cause

"Our company's goal is to make a positive and significant difference throughout our communities. To accomplish this, Auctions 4 A Cause has developed a new and innovative method to raise money for charities and fundraisers called the Auction 4 Charity.

Our members are given the chance to purchase great products at 80-90% off retail prices while raising money for the charities we support through the bidding fees they pay to participate in the auctions. Every quarter Auctions 4 A Cause donates between 25% and 65% of our net proceeds to the charities and non-profit fundraising events we support."


Be forewarned. I'll be off from this Thursday, November 27 to Monday December 1 for the US holiday of food, thanksgiving, and the annual look back at an embarressing moment in our country's history.

"This report exceeded my expectations. After reading it a few times, I went through and highlighted those parts of your actionable advice that I want to implement right away...
