- Someone tell Google about MFIJanuary 5
-
Somebody at Google clearly still thinks that MFI sell white bedroom furniture, check out the related search at the bottom.

Im surprised Google hasn’t acted on this.
After all the big boys in DIY have been using adwords to “gently” tell people that they can be trustedhttp://www.google.co.uk/search?q=mfi

- Fancy a trip to hospital this Christmas?December 22 2008
-
Im sure everyone is aware that its very nearly Christmas, I for one am getting a little fed up of hearing the gloom and doom about the credit crunch and all the shops that are going to close down, Wouldn’t it be great if Woolworths turned around and said, “thanx for the past week, it was the best one we’ve ever had, it was all a big PR spin”
So I have put together a little list of the best ways to get to hospital this Christmas, after all over 80,000 of us manage to end up there every Christmas.- Every year at least 3 people are reported with broken arms due to pulling Christmas crackers.
- In 1999 over 200 people were admitted to hospital after not removing all the pins from new shirts
- Over the last 10 years 27 people have died testing batteries on their tongue.
- In 2001 9 people needed hospital treatment due to Scalextric cars.
- Last year 2 people died eating Christmas decorations they thought were chocolates.
- Since 1997 26 people have died watering Christmas trees with the the Christmas lights on.
- In 2002 12 people sustained burns when trying on a new jumper with a cigarette in their mouth.
- Last year 22 children were admitted to hospital when swallowing wheels from diecast cars.
- 5 People suffered 3rd degree burns last year when trying to flame torch their Christmas pudding.
Thanx to ModelZone for some of the stats.

It seems Google is getting a few things wrong in their regional results, i blogged about them getting it wrong a few days ago. Now my colleagues at Freshegg are trying to get to the bottom of this.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Google, has quickly become the world’s most popular search tool. Hitwise UK tells us that, in October 2008, 75.11% of UK searches used Google.co.uk, 14.33% used Google.com, 2.86% used UK.Search.Yahoo.com and 2.16% used www.uk.ask.com. Clearly Google is currently the big boy in the UK search market.
But can you really trust the search results that Google provides? And how can a user verify that the search results provided by Google are accurate?
For businesses trading or promoting their services online Google is an important element in the chain that connects them with their prospective customers. If Google isn’t presenting a business in their search results then that business will not get any traffic from Google.
I’ve recently become aware of major differences between the Google.com search results and the localised Google.co.uk results. On investigation I’ve come across numerous reports from others who have seen similar, strange results.
In my case I came across a UK based business that is ranking very well in Google.com for a range of search terms, many including specific UK city and town names. However, entering the same search terms into Google.co.uk the results were far less favourable with a page that appeared at #6 in results from Google.com appearing at around #400 in the results from Google.co.uk. I tried this comparison with a number of UK-city-specific terms and observed similar results for a variety of landing pages in this si

Juat a quick post about www.articlemarketingautomation.com, ok so a shameless affili link in there i know but i would never blog or recommend something i didn’t feel was worthy.
Basically you write blog posts with a max of 3 links in the content, rather that something like Ezine these links should go in content and look natural, then you submit the post and the system drip feeds it to other related blogs that are on the system, it does it slowly to make it look much more natural, you can also add your own blog to the system which means you get free content.
I wrote an article and have had it published on 15 blogs so far, what about duplicate content?
Well the great thing about this system is it has a very neat little article spinner option, when you submit your post it picks out certain lines for you to re write, the better the article and the more unique it is the more blogs it will get published on. Its a really easy way to build up some quick links or just to get content for your blogs.
