Well, that is what one of my favorite SEO guy Aaron Wall of SEOBook.com advises. Watchout, even people commenting at your blog can get you sued. May be with a couple of thousand dollars? or a couple of ten thousands?

Read these to know more about what I am talking about:

Read the content in this site which publishes Traffic Power’s unsatisfied clients emails and lots of other things.

Search on any major search engine for the words traffic power and you only find sites that write about traffic power getting banned and you will no where find traffic power’s website because they are banned from all search engines. So getting banned is also as hard as getting the top rank I think.
Results for Traffic Power from major search engines: (click to see)
Google, Yahoo & MSN.

They have some reviews even from Amazon: Reviews at Amazon

This is Traffic Power’s Website:
http://www.traffic-power.com/
If you read this completely, you can clearly notice that they are talking about some clients but have removed their names.

There is one more very important thing you would like to know.
Traffic Power was making some millions a way back.
It is an SEO Company promissing traffic for the amount you paid. According to Google, it was using Un-ethical SEO practices and Google finally banned all its customers sites and their corporate site itself on one fine day. Not really sure if Google is going to relist these sites in future. But, what the heck is wrong in writing about a company which takes thousands of dollars from people and get their sites totally removed from search engines. And these Laws help this company to sue people who talk about the truth? So, I can be sued for writing this? Well, this is my opinion that I am sharing with the world. The right to Speak is one among my rights by Birth

I feel sorry for Aaron Wall. But I guess he should’nt have written about a company who is like a potential competitor in his business. Well, Aaron, you atleast let others to know to be careful while writing in their own blogs.

Now it is all not about Traffic Power or about Aaron Wall, it is about ones Right to Speech.

Now there is google talk which was released by google recently. You can expect more such products from google.
Google has made it a must that you should have a google mail account to use google talk. If you are not using google talk or google mail yet, just let me know in case if you need a google invite to get you a google account.

Just send me your name and email to my mail box and I shall send you an invite to your mail. I shall surely send you a invite, if you dont get one, dont forget to check your bulk folder, mainly if you are using google’s rivals yahoo or msn.

Did you know that some 80,000 blogs are created each day and the number is multiplying? Statistics that many of these blogs are updated regularly. Some 13% of blogs are updated weekly. Check out the Picture to see it yourself.

The number is expected to grow into millions soon. If you are reading this and dont have a blog yet, you can think of it. The total number of blogs according to Technorati is 16.1 million as on date. I love wordpress and can do a free install and some customization for you, if you are intrested. But will do that only if you promise me that you will blog regularly and dont keep it like a dead site.

As the talk spreads about the new google desktop search. Webmasters and site owners are happy about the one cool plugin around. Well, what will the be happy about? That is obviously related to money and only money. There was a firefox extension for the same purpose, but some how if didnt work properly and people were looking for something more handy. And its in. Its none other but the Google Adsense Status plugin created by Software .

If you have not installed the plugin yet, well, I bet you will be happy to use it.

You can have the display this way also:

Adsense Status (three line display)
Earnings: $300
Impressions: x,xx,xxx Clicks: xxxxx
CTR: 7.5% eCPM: $5.99
================
Adsense Status (one line display)
xxxxx Click(0s) – $300

I hope you will like it.

This is not a Yahoo Inc. product, but its a cool one.
If you were wondering how to decode your buddy’s yahoo message archive and did’nt find a way, this one is right for you.

I hope you will find it useful

I thought it was the same old story of desktop search beta 1.
I felt horrible with the first version. It was taking more resource than any other application. If just an indexing application takes so much CPU resource, what about the other applications that we never close for days together? And it was taking some 500MB of space. Just to index? sounds like my system search is also like a google data center. Irritated, I un-installed and deleted all the index.

Now google is back with another new beta version.
I’m adicted to it more than any other application on my desktop.
I have been playing with the new Google Desktop for the past 2 days now and I really like it. It gives me access to something that I use often and keeps them right were I can keep an eye on them.
I have a collection of desktop tools that can make things easy. You know what I mean? easy in every sense.

It has all I want. A simple gmail notifier/indexer, news, search includes desktop(my computer) search, photos to rotate, to keep memories refreshing(you can select the photos folder).

Cool plugins like scratch pad(where you can write anything and it will be saved without your confirmation); Todo(you can save your to do tasks) and Adsense status(this is wonderful addon which displays adsense earnings).

Sticking to the left or right end of the screen, it gives you a wonderful experience.
You can see some screenshots here:

2. Todo plugin

3. Adsense plugin

4. Timewrap Plugin

Its been a while now that we in the Search Engine Industry are hearing about Google Talk.

Finally today, Google has released Google Talk Beta and it can be downloaded here: Download Google Talk Beta
The release went a day early than rumoured.

Google has been dominating the search engines for a long while now. And now that they are into instant messaging to compete with Yahoo! IM, MSN Messenger and may be VOIP software Spyke too? We just have to wait and see the critics and reviews. who knows if they are targeting just the IMs or VOIP tools too? May be thats their ultimate idea!

Now that Google is into every thing that other search engines / portals offer.

I’m just wondering whats next!
