I’ve always found it odd that Google Reader has no search functionality. With search being Google’s bread and butter it is beyond me why their feed reader doesn’t have even the most basic search capability.
After looking for a solution, the best I could come up with is a Greasemonkey script for Firefox. It’s options […]
The first thing you realise when you use SeeqPod is so many people leave their files completely unsecured. This is great if you are doing the searching but not so great if you’re the one who has left the door open, especially if you have some sensitive documents lying about.
As for the service itself, […]
Dave Davis from RedFly Marketing has created a neat extension for Firefox called Google Global. It allows you to quickly switch to search results from a different country without changing URL’s or manually appending search strings.
If you’re like me and are constantly checking search results from different countries then this plugin will come in […]
Google has previously said that the only way to turn off personalized search results was by logging out. Well it turns out that’s not the case.
According to Matt Cutts, all you have to do to bypass personalized results is add “&pws=0″ to the end of a search string.

On a whim I went and checked out how my blog ranked in Google Blog Search and was surprised to find I didn’t rank nearly as well for the terms I normally rank for. I don’t use Google Blog Search so I wasn’t aware that its ranking mechanism was different from Google Web Search.

It’s been a week now since I wrote about wanting to get more traffic from Technorati. I have managed to get some hits but the numbers are nothing to write home about.
In the past week I’ve had about 50 hits from Technorati. The month prior I received maybe the odd hit once a fortnight, […]

It can be a boring and time consuming process but the success or failure of a site can depend on it.
What is a backlink?A backlink is a link from another website to yours.

In a word: Nothing.
But that’s going to change.
I’ve read over and over again on numerous sites how Technorati is the Google of blogs. Is this really the case? In my experience, not so much. So far I’ve seen about two hits from a Technorati search, compared to the bucketload of hits I’ve been getting from […]
Similar to the method for searching for Rapidshare files, you can also use Google to search for torrents as well.
If your’re looking for something that’s a little obscure this will save you a lot of time. Instead of checking multiple torrent websites, you can let Google do all the work. It won’t work every […]
This is a simple way to search for Rapidshare files using two special Google operators - site and inurl.
The site operator limits the search to the site of your choosing, and the inurl operator tells the search engine only to return results with that particular keyword in the URL.
Using this combination we can search […]
