Canadian Casinos - At last a selection CAN Dollar Casinos

Canadian Casinos

Added this page to my Doolallys site last night.

It's a bit unfair how everything with online casinos and poker seems to be centred around players wanting to play in pounds, dollars or Euros so I thought I'd add a page for Canadian players.

The casinos reviewed here are top quality and Canadians won't go far wrong with them.

Maybe it's about time I added sections for other nationalities now. Any requests, email me at onlinecasinos@gmail.com and I'll see what I can do.

This is an excellent tool for anyone constructing websites. Find out your page load time for differing internet connections. A boon if your trying to reduce your load times and optimise your pages.

Yahoo! Submit Your Site

This is a link to the official Yahoo Site Submit. You can always pay to get into the Yahoo Directory but for inclusion into the Yahoo listings, this is the easy and free way in.

Since the Google / Yahoo split, Yahoo has come a long way and seems to be becoming more popular all the time. One reason for this may be the way in which Google is filtering their search results so much, irrelevant results are becoming order of the day for them.

Playing Poker Pairs

Playing Poker Pairs

I've just added this page to my Doolallys site discussing how best to play a pair of pocket cards. It's something I've seen many times before, people either under or over playing same value cards.

It's amazing that people can get so excited when they get dealt a pair and then go on to play as if it's a winning hand - even when its only twos of threes!

Anyway I must get back to playing poker in the William Hill Poker Rooms now. This website business doesn't half ruin a good game....ha ha.

Google - What a pain!

Google

A few days ago Google decided to have an update of PR and it's results. This, as happens about once a month, has caused everyone who relies on Google for referrals no end of problems - again.

Some top ranking sites have disappeared down the Google plughole and others are floundering. Of course in retrospect, some sites have done exceedingly well and will gloat about the number of visitors for another month at least.

Where does all this leave the Webmaster of a small site with a small budget? In a lot of cases, he/she can go from doing great to a flop overnight and with no control over it whatsoever.

Now I know that Google has to try and filter out irrelevant results and I know that SEO practitioners will try to get around this and some sites are spam laden but it's getting more difficult for the genuine Webmaster or small site owner to do some optimizing and try to gain better results.

Surely everyone who works hard on their site should expect to be treated fairly?

Google freely changes its mind on what is acceptable or not. In effect it is probably trying to better the results but in a lot of cases it is letting the undesirables in and keeping the honest guy out.

Some of the comments on the changes this month think that the change is to do with links pages, too many reciprocated or not enough is a matter or opinion. Or is it too many link only pages or over optimisation on the pages.

Whatever, Google is running our sites prosperity and is making it harder for the small guy to become one of the big guys. Surely this is why the internet came about? To allow everyone an equal chance of sharing the information and products that they promote? Google doesn't seem to think so. Or have I got it wrong?
