KEI, or Keyword Effectiveness Index, is a value often used in SEO circles to compare the value of potential key terms. It is the popularity of the term divided by the amount of competition. It makes logical sense to use this to decide on the best key terms because you ideally want high-traffic, low-competition terms [...]
I’m not talking about being complacent or smug. To me, self-satisfaction has nothing to do with arrogance. It’s the ability to wake up in the morning, look at yourself in the mirror, and feel proud of who you are and what you’ve done with your life so far. You just can’t help but be happy [...]
The Temple lay dark and quiet. Fresh soot still hung in the air from the cataclysmic battle that had ended in its destruction. That the structure was intact at all was a miracle. A lone figure stood in the doorway, looking upon the site of the town’s final defeat. “Creo lucem,” the mage spoke wearily [...]
If your efforts grow to any reasonable size, tracking your success becomes at least as involving and vital and optimizing in the first place. Thus, it is irritating at best and harmful at worst when spammers choose to exploit your web metrics utilities by inundating your site with false data. There are several good ways [...]
This weekend was a blast, even for being so unbearably hot. I didn’t make any large strides towards my character’s goals, but I didn’t suffer any big set-backs either.

For the past few nights, I’ve had trouble sleeping because I’m so excited about TALAN this weekend. I find it amusing that I can still get so giddy about playing a roleplaying game. It makes me feel like a little kid who can’t sleep on Christmas Eve. Why is the game so stimulating? I’m not [...]
The young mage shook his head, allowing the world to resettle around him. A moment before, he had been following a friend into the tavern of King’s Crossing. Now, he stood in a place that seemed both foreign and strangely familiar at the same time. Alderin gazed at his surroundings. He was now in a [...]
There has been a lot of ground covered lately in the search engine wars. One headline is particularly fetching, namely, “Yahoo exceeds Google in number of pages indexed.” The report proclaims that Yahoo’s index is now larger than Google’s, with some obscene number being quoted (I believe it was 20-billion versus Google’s 8-billion). While this [...]
I have to come to work every day and then return home in the evenings, which constitutes two drives of about 15 minutes apiece. In my half hour of driving per day, I will almost always encounter a fellow driver who completely disregards the rights or cares of others and decides to perform a dangerous [...]
