Google Talk is one of the most popular instant messaging platforms by far. Whereas years ago we’d get turned on by the prospect of voice calling, G Talk takes the possibilities (and your productivity) to a whole new level.
Here are some really cool things you can do with Google Talk to make your online experience [...]

I’m sure you’ve received as many of these as I have — the “Holy Sh*t!, LMAO, OMG, You have to see this” video that one of your pseudo friends thinks is the best thing to ever happen on the internet superhighway.
Problem: it is only funny for about 3 seconds after 4:14 minutes in.
But you don’t [...]

After reading Mark’s post the other day and announcing I can easily survive without Google I realized something — I’m really probably one of the biggest Google addicts on the planet.
Seriously, each item below came right off the top of my head! Are you as big an addict?

You have a Tivo wish list keyword [...]

I have begun to take a closer interest in monitoring the Google PageRank for my websites.   There are many tools out there that will tell you right away the PageRank of your site and if you have the Google Toolbar, you can also see at a glance, the PageRank of the site you are currently [...]

The other day I started up another Google account so I can chat to business clients on Google Talk and keep it separate from my personal chatting on my main Google Talk account. This immediately made me realise a problem - how can I have both Google ID’s running on Google [...]

I’m proud to announce two new bloggers you’ll see here on GT - Mark O’Neill and Joost de Valk!

Mark O’Neill
You’ve probably noticed this guy writing a lot already, well that’s because I’m a slacker and he’s not! I couldn’t find the time for a proper intro back when I first asked him to write for [...]

The internet is once again abuzz about one of the most speculated “non-Google products” ever. No, not the Google phone which apparently will make its debut next year but instead the GDrive. It may finally make its appearance in a few months and if this is true, 2008 will be a [...]

If you own a website that is reliant on attracting local visitors then until now, there was no easy way to specify a specific geographic location for your site. But now you can use Google Webmaster Tools to name a country and ensure you get the right people visiting your little corner [...]

After virtually a decade delivering online search results, the sparse looking Google page is well known to all. But with a few Firefox extensions, we can dress up the page a little to deliver more information on what we are looking for.
This is the page we normally see :

Pretty plain and normal right?  [...]

Yeah, I know, I’m late to the PR drop whine party but yesterday GT’s dropped from a strong 5 to 4 so I thought I’d share my side of the story too.
Let’s get the usual suspects out of the way -

Never bought links for GT
Never sold links on GT
Never pursued reciprocal links
Don’t even have a [...]

Joost over at his SEO blog has a great guide to the robots meta tag today, everything you need is there on one short page. Check it out.

Ah, the great debate - full vs. partial RSS feeds!
Like many of you I’ve been following the debate all over the blogosphere for years now and I’ve finally decided to bite the bullet and go full feed thanks to Darren’s poll (75% prefer full feeds). This should be great for most of you as now [...]

I haven’t tested it myself yet, but this new plugin for Wordpress looks pretty nice:
AskApache Google 404 is a must-have WordPress plugin that uses some ajax and a couple tricks to display a very helpful and SEO Error Page. The default displays Google Search Results for images, news, blogs, videos, web, custom search engine, and [...]

WTF? I like WPN and John Chow but what is going on here!?
Let’s see WPN is know for:
Usually decent tech info, especially on the SEO/SEM side of things
John Chow is known for:

Generating traffic
Expert linkbaiting
Having a square head
Getting banned from Google (he can’t even rank for his own name anymore)

So, WPN decides to interview people about [...]

Matt’s got a nice write up of how they refer to an URL within Google. For the most part it’s not Google specific at all making it a pretty useful little tutorial on the different parts of an URL.

There’s a new phenomenon in the blogging world, and it’s called microblogging. Well, it’s not really that new, but then it’s only quite recently that its popularity took off in the social media world, with networks like Twitter and Jaiku. The concept here is that you’re asked to answer the question what are you doing [...]

With online advertising growing exponentially today, it is a must for advertisers to find ways to increase traffic to their sites, while keeping advertising costs to a minimum. While a lot of companies turn to established systems like Google AdSense or AdWords, some companies have turned to less conventional means. Some have even outsourced their [...]

Google is against paid links, or at least that’s how it appears from a recent post by Google’s quality control and anti-spam guy Matt Cutts.
One thing I heard at SES London was that people wanted a way to report paid links specifically. I’d like to get a few paid link reports anyway because I’m excited [...]

Here’s a quick SEO tip to webmasters and bloggers.
Google gives you a way to check which anchor texts are most commonly used to link to your site. This is a great SEO tool because (1) you know what keywords you’re likely to be optimized for already, given the inbound links and (2) if you’re not [...]

Okay, another Matt Cutts post here. Read/Write Web recently interviewed Matt Cutts, one of the public faces of Google (although not officially so). The topic was about the next generation of search.
Google sure has come a long way from simply having a search engine technology that other companies licensed (like how Yahoo! relied on Google [...]

I missed Sheseltine’s early entry, but there it is -

Doesn’t that belong to DaveN?
Yes it does!! You just won yourself a whole five bucks my friend!
For those that may not know who it is, DaveN is David Naylor, or as I like to call him SEO Mofo. You should be reading him [...]

DIGG sure is a quick way to get from zero to something on Google, at least pagerank-wise. And no, you don’t have to get frontpaged all the time (which is no easy feat). Tech Soapbox posts about an experiment with DIGG and blogging.
Not going to make any friends this way. But we tried this out, [...]
