Why travel when you can see this REVS AMAZE roller from the comfort of your computer screen?

Me, I got my picture the old fashioned way:

Is there a service left on the Internet that I use that they don't own? I can envision a lot of useful crossover between Feedburner, Analytics and Adsense, so the deal makes a ton of sense from a business persepctive. I'm also interested in it as a user as feedburner is already right there with the Google tools that I use in my "can't live without it" toolbox. And factoring in the reality that my blog is just a tiny part of my site. If it were ever to make up more of my traffic (as opposed to just taking up my time) Feedburner would be invaluable.

$100 Million Payday For Feedburner – This Deal Is Confirmed

Digital Graffiti Letter R Wild Styles- Rob Larsen : DrunkenFist.com

According to Analytics it's the fourth most popular page on my site with 3,892 page views over the past month accounting for nearly 3% of all page views on the site. A lot of those are entry views because, up until last Friday, this page showed up on the first page of this search- "graffiti – Google Image Search"

Let me say- Arrgh!

I was poking around the net yesterday, looking to see how to submit my sitemap (generated using the excellent sitemap generation tool available from enarion.net) to Ask, when I discovered (in their FAQs) a technique for Sitemaps Autodiscovery. Which is a cool feature of the new sitemaps protocol. Add this line to your robots.txt file:

SITEMAP: http://www.yoursite.com/path-to-your-sitemap.xml

and any spiders that support the sitemap protocol will know where to find the fruits of your sitemap labor. Now I know as well as anyone that Google rules the roost in terms of generating search engine traffic, and managing google's use of your sitemap is pretty straightforward using the Google Webmaster Tools, but there are always new search engines popping up and getting in on their action can still generate some traffic. It's especially cool to do so with a with a passive technique like this.

When you've got definite traffic goals for a site (as I do here) every little bit helps.

What I still can't figure out is how to get MS's Live Search to use the damned thing. Maybe this is the technique? They support the sitemaps protocol but, the last time I checked, there was no way to point them towards the document.

Gwoemul/The Host review – Rob Larsen : DrunkenFist.com.

That's a surprise to me. Especially since, out of the 147,133 page views I've had on my site since that article was published, that page has generated a meager 42, ranking it the 244th most popular page on my site.

Of course, the Google Toolbar is still reporting 0/10 since it's always a few months behind
