I'm sure you've head about Google Fight by now where you can Linus Torvalds matches up against Bill Gates or finally prove to yourself that Coke is better than Pepsi by comparing Google results between two different words.

Bringing it to the next level we have Search Engine Smackdown. Using the heavy weights of the Search Engine field, see how much trivia you know about the history of the market.

I'm flipping through some of the posts about Google's recent broken PR update (All of my new sites have PR0s still.) and came across this suggestion of removing the "rel='nofollow'" bit from the comments.

I've got to admit that I'm kind of torn. While I can understand the need to have the tag in the links, most bloggers monitor what appears in their comments. I know I do. Anything that's spam gets removed.

I'm going to remove it from my WordPress setup and see what happens.

Andy gives us a few ideas on how to promote one's blog or website. Feel free to read the comments as well as this thread over on the WordPress.com Support forums.

I'm big on including links in the sigs of any posts that you make at forums. Search engines pick up on them as well as other forum readers.

*shrug* Well, I had to do something with the Daria.be domain with all of the inbound links that exist for it.

We've got a DMOZ mirror over there now. Check it out if you want to. :)

Came across this wonderful tool that lets you compare results from the different Google datacenters. Find out if one datacenter sees your website different from another.
