If you're like me and get spammed and scraped by unquestionables that are certainly not up to any good then this article may help you decide which search engine robots to allow and which ones to ban.
I always have trouble deciding which IP addresses to block on my blog and once of twice I've probably even blocked a ligitimate robot.
The article is titled : How to Identify Legitimate Search Robots and hopefully it will give you a few pointers on which IP addresses to kick into touch!
Isn't it a shame that the internet is full of so many delinquents that normal Webmasters trying to improve their sites and provide good, quality content are disrupted and waste so much time trying to contact the slugs of the 'net.

Ms Dewey Brightens Up Search
A well kept secret by MSN Search is Ms Dewey, a search engine with a major difference!
The search is brightened up by the very talented and also very good looking Ms Dewey. She'll held you find what you're looking for and guide you through the internet with some well appointed phrases and remarks.
Ms Dewey shows that the search engines do sometimes like a little fun and she can be very funny at times. It's well constructed and will keep you coming back again and again to use Ms Dewey as you search for your favourite things online.
Check out the Ms Dewey Search page now and see how much fun a search engine really can be. Somehow I can't see Google coming up with anything so entertaining.

The Hidden World of Click Fraud
The Hidden World of Click Fraud
This is an interesting article if you PPC click fraud is killing your budget. A very interesting read as the writer interviews people from Lagos to find out more about how they make money just clicking advertisments.
It really is time the PPC engines started to work harder in this area. I know they have defences but they just aren't up to scratch and lower clicks and profits in the near term will pay off handsomely in the longer term future, I'm sure.

Any Gardeners in the House?
Those interested in Gardening or their garden in general might like to have a look at this new site, Gardening Monthly.
Yep, you've guessed it right, it's one of mine. I've just uploaded it and although it started off as just a simple adsense website with a few articles, I'm planning on developing it further now as I do actually have a love of gardening.
If anyone reading this wants to contribute with a gardening article or letter, question, etc, please feel free to email me at : gardening at doolallys.com

PPC v SEO
Which is better PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising or organic SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) results?
I've always been of the impression that SEO is best and drives more quality customers to your site but PPC is quick and gets you top rankings easily.
Read the discussion over at WebProWorld and see what you think.

Amazon's A-Store
I was emailled by Amazon this morning about their new A-Store feature available to Associates.
The new A-Store allows you to put a website up quickly and without any knowledge of programming, etc, to showcase whatever product you like that's featured in Amazon.
I thought I'd try this new fangled feature out by building a simple store and point a domain I'd registered ages ago to see how things worked out.
Sure enough, after probably about 15 minutes, my store was up and running and my domain was pointing to the correct link supplied by Amazon for my store.
The domain had previously been parked at Sedo and does get a few clicks per month. This seems an excellent way of parking domains or trying out Goggle's Adwords to see if you can produce a sale or two.
The domain I now have pointing at my Digital Camera store is Digital Camera Choice. Have a look to see what can be done with just 15 minutes of your time.
A great way to do something with those domains you have lurking about but haven't done anything with. I'd recommend you have a look and see for yourself.
