in Digg Favorites Slapped By Google on Andy Beard - Internet Business Systems Discussion
Andy this is getting freaking ridiculous. After I got hit with a -1 the first time I refunded all of my text link sales money and took them down. I had to launch a new advertising campaign that used nofollows on everything. Of course I can't charge as much now. Now I'm complying 100% with their rules. What do they do? They hit me today again and now I'm -2.
There just isn't anything different that I can do now, other than shutting down all revenue all together. Looking at your list, all the players got hit so PageRank just isn't valid anymore in this niche.

Just curious, Where did you get the -1 and -2 figures from?

in Wordpress Plugin: Antisocial on Andy Beard - Internet Business Systems Discussion
Andy this plugin is freaking genius and I was stoked when I heard about it. I installed it immediately. Thanks a million! The original Sociable plugin had one little bug that I found, the StumbleUpon button didn't work due to an error in the sociable.php file. Since this one was built using that one, it has the same error. If you want to fix it in the original, it might help a lot of people! Here's the fix for you:

Hopefully this will help somewhat! Take care Andy, and again - thanks for a brilliant plugin.

All I did was add 14 characters to the file that the author refused to change, and I had previously published how to make the change with the last version.
I am actually aware of the SU Button problem, though I am actually thinking of removing it.
I have seen situations on my posts where my large SU button was clicked 29 times, and no reviews appeared.
That isn't the broken button but the big one.
Unfortunately SU don't offer a way to have a button the same as a Thumbs up, and their TOS prevent someone hacking it.
Jemille actually created a version of my plugin with the fixed SU button. I told him I would wait a while before fixing mine - I suppose it is about time now.

in Blogging Productivity & Criticizing Goals on Andy Beard - Internet Business Systems Discussion
Wow thanks for a very thorough post! Do you really think that the Do Follow movenent is over though? I'm fairly new to blogging and it seems to me like it's the biggest thing that people talk about! Maybe the percentage of blogs I read is just to small to see the overall picture.

Court, when people get fed up chasing memes leaving comments just to get a link, they will go onto the next meme.
The social interaction and interlinking possible within a small group of similar topic blogs using dofollow is in many ways more powerful than the sitewide linking normally performed by blog networks.
I have seem people excited about having a list of 150 blogs that use Dofollow.
All you have to do is search in Google to find 1000s, but that doesn't necessarily help you find blogs that are in the same niche.

in Technorati Favorites – Is This Evil, Lazy or Just Smart? on Andy Beard - Internet Business Systems Discussion
This looks like a really smart idea, any risk of getting banned by Technorati?

All you are doing is importing an OPML file into a feed reader, just like you can also do with Google Reader or Bloglines.
If you felt like it, you could also import Robert Scoble's OPML as well, and have over 1000 people in your Technorati feed reader.
Everyone on the list could also add this OPML to the feedreader they don't use often, thus if you use GR, import to Bloglines, and if you use Blogline, import to GR.
But that would be too evil ;)
