Working Groups
A working group is a conference within a conference. The coordinator(s) of a working group decide on a theme and select a set of sessions that are related to that theme. The participants attend those sessions as a group and also meet outside of the sessions for additional discussion.
Questions? Please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Working Group: Intraparty Organizational Structure Effect on Governability
Friday, April 17 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
To participate, contact Moaz Rosenthal, Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) Herzliya, at email@example.com
Overview: Coalition Politics, Intraparty, Party Politics - We examine how intra-party organizational considerations affect political strategies in democratic political systems in elections, coalition making and breaking and public policy.
Working Group: Republican Women and the Feminization of the Grand Old Party
To participate, contact Malliga Och, University of Denver, at firstname.lastname@example.com
Overview: GOP, women and politics, Gender aimed at scholars of conservative parties and gender, we ask whether the feminization attempts of the GOP will open new avenues of research and how this development might redefine the traditional gender and politics framework.
Open Discussions
Open Discussions are similar to "open spaces" sessions at conferences. Unlike a roundtable where the presenters are all experts on the topic and make a structured presentation, with an open discussion, one person selects a topic and the attendees sign up to participate in the discussion that the organizer facilitates. For 2015, Open Discussion topics include:
Open Discussion: Origin of U.S. Political Polarization and Congressional Gridlock
Overview: My book: Manheim: The Conflict Over Environmental Regulation…Springer 2009. Other ideas welcomed; let's talk.
Friday, April 17 6:30 pm - Berghoff German Restaurant (good strudel) 17 W. Adams
To participate, contact Frank T. Manheim, George Mason University, at email@example.com.
Open Discussion: Promoting Undergraduate Research
Thursday, April 16 11:15 am – 12:00 pm
To participate, contact Martha Lizabeth Phelps, Alderson Broaddus University, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Overview: Publishing, teaching, undergraduate, research - We seek to further MPSA's commitment to undergraduate research by discussing avenues to get undergraduates involved in the research process and help undergraduates publish.

Stonesteps in Leucadia.
Digital Marketing Manager/Creative Direction
Writer of fiction. Born 1979.
Stonesteps in Leucadia.
Taken at Swamis last night.
Quote of the weekend: "Well, if you really think about it, the earth is like a spaceship. And the sky is the window of our spaceship."
Wise words spoken by Blake (aka Poo Deer during camping) while we were star gazing at about 11pm on the Pacific Crest Trail. Poo Deer also pulled me (aka Meadow) aside after my scary nightmare story that I had told the group, to tell me that my condition was actually called 'sleep paralysis'. A condition where you're literally paralyzed while in the process of waking up and according to him, can hallucinate (which explains the little gremlin I thought was in my room shaking my sheets).
Poo Dear was also the only one who could remember an entire song during our music sesh by the campfire. I don't know if it was the tequila or whiskey or the fact that we had been partaking all day, but none of us could seem to find the words to literally one song that we usually knew inside and out while not camping.
Brota and I got there late Friday night, but the trip started out right as we were welcomed into the campfire circle given gifts of beer, tequila, whiskey, snacks that tasted like Life cereal and our camping names; Meadow and Leaf. The leaders of the circle, Twig and Soil (formerly Sage) introduced us to the rest of our group...now, let's see if I can get this right: Willow, Cat Crystal, Hummer (or Hilbert), Little Fawn, Chestnut, Ripple, Star Shooter, Bark, Rock, Grasshopper and of course, Poo Deer.
I was extremely tired and went to bed early in the Subaru that night (car camping is so much easier btw!) and the next day awoke to our neighbors playing loud hip hop songs of my youth down below. Still tired, I asked Leaf to prepare me one of his special coffees with agave nectar that was sure get me (somewhat cracky) on track for the day. It did. And seeing Grasshopper pop the top off of a bottle of champagne reminded me that I had brought the wrong beverages for camping. We immediately went to the general store in town where we got water and more champagne and I forget what else, came back to camp and got ready to go to the meadow.
The meadow was glorious and there was a huge tree with branches like ladders that we climbed. Props to Soil for taking the many lovely shots of our camping family in the tree. After hanging out in the tree for awhile, we decided to head back to camp for more champagne and sitting around. Our pilot friends came to meet us (sadly, I don't think they ever got camping names) and told us how they flew their own plane to Burning Man. Pretty cool.
By late afternoon, a nap was in order for most of us, so Leaf and I went back to the Subaru where I tried to sleep and he played the guitar and we sang, and ended up taking photos and not really sleeping.
Then nighttime...
We made bomb vegan tacos and sat around the campfire for what seemed like many hours and talked about many things that I cannot remember clearly now. I do remember telling everyone my freakish scary stories and then a small group of us went on a short walk to the lookout over Borrego Springs. Twig kept mentioning that we needed to stay up all night and the skies seemed a bit cloudy which was a little disappointing. We wanted to see the stars.
Eventually we made our way down to the PCT (literally right under the lookout) and decided to lie down on our backs in the dirt to look at the night sky. By that time the clouds seemed to have gone away and we could see stars for days. We kept talking about strange things like aliens and parallel universes and Leaf kept seeing shooting that no one else was seeing.
When we got back to camp, it was time to sing. Except that no one could seem to remember any songs. We vowed that we would learn entire songs for the next camping trip (although I would say the chances of this actually happening are slim to none).
In all seriousness, you couldn't ask for a better group dynamic. Everyone was on the same page, the food was great, awesome company and the weather was perfect. Can't wait for the next one.
Grandview Beach in Leucadia. Sunset. High tide. Body surfing. Beer. Photos.
Looking at these just reminds me how much I want to get out there with my camera more. A lot of my work around writing and this blog keeps me inside on the computer. Which is fine, it's a necessity I can't get away from, and I really don't mind it at all. I love working. But getting out there is the best. Gathering. Gathering images and experiences.
New newsletter is coming out tomorrow my friends. Sign up to get the inside scoop, the back story, the real deal...talk to you soon.

Give it a Whirl!
The Decor Whirl is a wonderful addition to my growing collection of Liberator Shapes! I had been eying the Scoop because I wanted to try a little rocking motion, but the Decor Whirl works well, too. It's perfect for doggy style and even as a prop to trap your partner with. What can I say? I love feeling helpless. It holds up well under pressure for me (96 lbs), but it does tend to squish under my hubby (203 lbs). That's not really a problem, since I'm usually the one that needs something to prop me up. It's great for a firm headrest or lower back support. I've even used it as a dummy to let hubby cuddle when I have to slip out of bed for something. If you'd like to find out more about what I thought about the Decor Whirl, feel free to check out the full review on my blog: http://truepleasures.blogspot.com/2011/03/give-it-whirlreview-of-decor-whirl-from.html
The Perfect Helper
There are not enough stars in the universe in which to rate this amazing product! In my opinion, the Whirl is a cylindrical miracle. We got Whirl as a gift when we ordered the Ramp/Wedge Combo, and we now use the Whirl way more often! I love that the cover is easily removed so that I can just toss it in the wash, but I wish that it had come with a storage case.
Give it a WHIRL!!!
We nearly declined purchasing the Whirl XT with our Wedge/Ramp combo. What a mistake that would have been! This is the most spontaneous piece from Liberator we own. It lays on the bed and looks SO innocent, disguising itself as a regular old bolster pillow. But put it in action and you will not be disappointed. Works great under her butt or tummy or his legs... Use your imagination and give it a WHIRL!
Great Bedroom Accessory (that hides its true nature)
When the bed is made the Whirl looks like a decorative pillow. But when you get ready for action the firm, yet yielding inner material makes the Whirl anything but a decorative item. We use the Whirl as across the hips support with her face and face down but our favorite is her face down on the Whirl with it length-wise. That way we get support and a great side to side rocking action. When ready for sleep we place the Whirl out of the way.
I have had mine for 2 years now, and i thoroughly enjoy it. Use it all the time with my Wedge and other products. I recommend this to anyone starting out with Liberator, or experienced. Enjoy and have a little fun.

Estrellas Ii Group
The loan they will take out will benefit the micro-businesswomen, including Ceida. She says that eight years ago she joined Pro Mujer at the invitation of a friend who is a member. Right now she has a business selling cleaning products. She says that she started this business together with her spouse, since he sold these products before she met him.
The loan she will take out now is to increase capital by buying soap, brushes and towels. She will acquire them from the wholesale distributors of the city of El Alto and later sell them in her sales stall. This work allows her to generate resources to support her home as much as she can. She is married and has two children.
When asked what she likes about Pro Mujer, she says that she likes the meetings, the trainings about loans and the clinics.
El crédito que sacaran beneficiara a pequeñas microempresarias donde la señora Ceida es integrante, ella indica que hace ocho años que integra Pro Mujer, ingresando por invitación de la amiga que es socia de la institución. En la actualidad ella tiene un negocio de venta de materiales de limpieza; cuenta que este negocio lo emprendió conjuntamente su pareja, ya que él comercializaba este producto antes que la conozca.
El crédito que ahora sacará es para el aumento de capital (compra de jaboncillos, cepillos, tohallas) que adquirirá de las distribuidoras mayoristas de la Ciudad de El Alto y posteriormente lo comercializará en su espacio de venta. Esta forma de trabajo le permite generar recursos para mantener en lo posible a su hogar pues ella es casada y tiene dos hijos.
Cuando se le consulta qué le gusta de Pro Mujer, ella responde que le gusta las reuniones, las capacitaciones en crédito y salud y los consultorios.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Success!! The loan was 100% repaid

|Take Action
Any piece of electronics that's broken or obsolete, or that you're just not using anymore, is e-waste. For decades, these items have ended up in our landfills. However, because we don't have millions of Wall-E's to clean up after us, it's wise to properly dispose of electronics.
The unnecessary build-up of electronic devices in American landfills can even cause environmental problems and health hazards. Studies have shown that lead, mercury and other toxic chemicals can seep into our soil and water supply from the hundreds of thousands of computers and cell phones chucked into the trash every day. Despite these hazards, 75% of all e-waste still ends up in landfills.
Fortunately, it's simple to take care of your old laptop, boombox or eight-track stereo without inconvenience. Follow the steps below and take the pledge to recycle your e-waste so our environment stays clean.
Photo: REUTERS/Juan Carlos Ulate
I pledge to do my part to limit electronic waste and its negative impact on the environment and human health. Here are some simple steps to make that happen:
1) If the product is still functional, consider donating it before recycling, and especially before throwing it in the garbage.
2) If the product is obsolete or broken, search e-Stewards for a list of recyclers. (Note: your employer may already have a program for recycling electronics.)
3) Buy products that are more environmentally-friendly to begin with. See a list of EPEAT-registered electronics.
4) Check out the National Center for Electronics Recycling to see the latest e-waste laws nationwide and to find a recycling specialist near you.

Calibration Pyramid with 8mm Hole
by beekeeper, published
Thing Info
Allows you to test the internal diameter of printed holes. A lot of slicer software either make the holes to small, or too big. Also, I needed it for the Golf-In-Miniature Desktop Miniature Gold 1st hole.

How is to be used? What's the purpose of this thing? Can anyone explain?
Newbie interested in 3D Printing. TIA.
You print it out and use it to test the calibration of your printer and printer's settings.
The hole in the middle should be 8.00mm when printed and the individual pillars of the pyramid should be very clean with no strings or stringing between pillars. Poorly calibrated printers don't make good clean prints. Prints with lots of "jumps" between "islands" or meshes are much harder to print cleanly than continuous feed filament parts (like vases that you see a bunch of). This part will help you adjust your retraction settings and prints very quickly. It is very sad to find out your settings are off, when you are printing a multiple hour print with unexpected results.
Also, the top "point" of the pyramid should be pointy, not resembling a pile of poo. This is the "cool" setting of your printer and slows down the printer to allow for proper cooling of the current layer before starting to print the next layer. Small crisp points, or super small cross sections are hard to print without properly calibrating your printer.
Thanks for the detailed response BeeKeeper.
One more question, if you don't mind: How often should I check the printer settings? I ask because, the mechanical parts may wobble or get loosened up as time goes by.
Well, it depends on the printer and how well built it is and how well tuned it is. But usually, I don't have to recalibrate the printer ever, once it is tuned in.
On printers where parts are loosening or wearing out (like wooden gears and plastic bearings) you will probably need to check your calibration about ever 100 hours of print time. Or, if you change a major part on your printer (nozzle tip diameter, hot end, or the whole extruder would be major changes), then you should run a test print to make sure all is good.
A good rule of thumb is just to look at the parts though. If they look good enough for your application and are acceptable to you, just keep on printing.
Thanks for the detailed reply. Will be following your tip.
How big is the hole supposed to be?

Preparations for the annual Easter egg hunt on the Island of Sodor are behind schedule! Not to worry! Thomas the Tank Engine saves the day by hurrying around with a trainload of colorful eggs, helping to get them hidden just in time. Boys ages 3 to 7 will delight in searching for the sparkly, glitter-sprinkled eggs on every page of this bright and glittery Thomas & Friends board book.
About the Author
In 1944, a country vicar, the Reverend W Awdry, wrote the stories he had been telling his two young sons about a group of engines with very recognizable personalities. In 1945, the first book featuring Thomas and the other Really Useful Engines was published, and in the 60 years since, the tales of these friendly engines have become beloved classics around the world.
"From the Trade Paperback edition."
In the early 1940s, a loving father crafted a small, blue, wooden engine for his son, Christopher. The stories that this father, the Reverend W. Awdry, made up to accompany this wonderful toy were first published in 1945. He continued to create new adventures and characters until 1972 when he retired from writing. Reverend W Awdry died in 1997 at age 85.

Best Place to Relive the '90s (2008)
The Richmond Strip
Despite the best efforts of VH-1, '90s nostalgia has yet to take hold of the national consciousness with the same force of '80s mania. In Houston, however, there is one hotbed of Clinton-era memories: the Richmond Strip, our forlorn "entertainment district of the future." What few nightspots remain from the Strip's glory days ply their patrons with a steady diet of grunge and Britpop. If you're one of those "slackers" who thinks tunes like that are "all that and a bag of chips," then "boo-yaa," you'll think the Richmond Strip is still hella tight. Let all those fart-knockers have Midtown and the Village — you're too sexy for them.

Corporate reputation management is a 21st century business imperative.
Reputational value is an outcome of stakeholder expectations of operational performance. The measure of that value is best evidenced by the financial consequences of stakeholder actions. Stakeholders reveal their expectations with the way that use their wallets to buy, lend, regulate, or otherwise do business.
We give company leadership first-time, actionable visibility into the financial drivers that build reputational value, and help guard against its loss. Our metrics and services are based on more than 13 years of big data on more than 7000 public companies that underlie reputational assurance solutions, reputation insurance policies and products, reputation-linked bonds, hedge fund investment strategies, and are used by S&P CME/Dow Jones Indices to compile a reputation-based composite equity index that has outperformed the S&P500 Index by an average of 9.4% annually.*
Reputation isn't the product of popularity polls, and it can't be merely managed online. A "better" reputation comes from better operations and better communications, and it empowers a company to deliver better results, in both good times and bad. It's a core, systemic asset that needs to be benchmarked and controlled in order to be protected.
Better metrics mean better control.
Each week, our metrics score reputational value from a proprietary array of forward-looking financial sources, bringing together heretofore disparate data points into an aggregate measure of stakeholder expectations. We scour decision (or prediction) markets, reported company filings and performance, balance sheets, and then correlate the information with various maths to normalize values, so we can deliver algorithmically timely and operationally useful measures that can be compared within industry sectors, across sectors, and tracked week-over-week.
Building on the core direct measures of reputation value and its volatility, our two basic benchmark measures — ReputationPremium™ identification of value relative to competitors, and ValueRisk™ tracking of the change in unanimity of those expectations — provide clients with the reliable basis for tracking reputational value, measuring the impact of business decisions and communications efforts, and forecast future issues and opportunities.
Consensiv Controls 2.0, our basic governance, control and risk management product, is a 17-page reputation value and risk report, which presents the direct and benchmark measures providing actionable governance, operations, and communications intelligence to decision makers responsible for protecting corporate reputation value.
Each weekly report answers four basic questions:
- The probability of material impending stakeholder realignment
- The long-term materiality of a major equity movement
- The end-of-quarter materiality of a minor equity movement, and
- The relative reputational state of key benchmark firms.
The reputation value controls in the report follow a six sigma DMAI (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve) framework that can help companies both expose value opportunities and protect against balance sheet volatility and loss of market capitalization.
You can learn more about what goes into our metrics here, and here's a sample of our weekly client report.
Our advisory enables more effective governance.
In addition to supporting real-time decision making with our reports, our objective metrics of reputational value allow for a number of critical governance, risk management and control review activities that have never before been possible, and which deliver on the promise of systemic reputation management, or "SRM."
Our time-series data enable both internal and competitive analyses of the true drivers of stakeholder decisions by correlating investments, expenditures and public-facing activities with our scoring. The findings can enable more efficient resource allocation and testing of likely improvements, allowing for the exploration of such questions as "Did stakeholders appreciate and value a new product or service, and maintain that consensus over time?" and "What's really happening to reputation during a crisis?" Further, by correlating our data with other measures of value, such as ROE, we can greatly enhance and deepen management insight into the long-term financial effects of reputational value.
Our metrics and advisory services give our clients actionable visibility into the financial drivers that build reputational value, and guard against its loss. Consensiv brings corporate reputation to the KPI table in the language business executives best understand, and empowers our clients to make smarter decisions based thereupon. We provide established methodologies and advisory services to enable those actions.

Maine, 6-3 jr. guard Xavier Pollard (15.8 pts, 5.0 rebs, 3.5 assists), 6-4 so. guard Dimitry Akanda-Coronel (16.1 pts, 3.3 rebs), 6-4 jr. guard Zarko Valjarevic (13.7 pts), 6-6 fr. forward Garet Beal (7.8 pts, 3.7 rebs), 6-9 so. forward Stefan Micovic (1.4 pts, 2.4 rebs)
-- UConn's last game before a 12-day exam break.
-- The Huskies have won 48 straight non-conference home games.
-- Maine coach Ted Woodard was on Jim Calhoun's staff from 1986-89. The Huskies are 17-0 against Calhoun's former assistants.
"Great man," coach Kevin Ollie said. "I spent a lot of time with him recruiting when I was an assistant coach. I know coach (Calhoun) is very fond of him. … He's going to be coaching our opponent but he's still part of the family. ... Hopefully, he can turn it around. After Friday, though."
--Series: UConn leads 82-16, winning 11 straight including the last meeting, 80-60, in 2011. The last loss was in 1978.
-- Maine's top reserve: 6-5 so. guard Shaun Lawton (11.5 pts, 3.5 rebs).
-- Hot: Daniels is averaging 17.5 pts and 7.5 rebounds in last two games.
Cold: Calhoun is averaging 4.6 points in last five games after averaging 15 in first three.
-- UConn is converting 48.5 from the field and 44.9 from 3-point range.
"This team is outstanding shooting the ball and hopefully we can keep that up," Ollie said.
-- Ollie is optimistic that UConn's young big men will eventually make a bigger offensive contribution. Nolan (3.0 pts) and reserve freshman Amida Brimah (3.3) both possess limited low post skills.
"We can get in the weight room more and do all those different things...," Ollie said. "I think it's going to pay-off and we're going to see some bigs really step up hopefully in the next couple of games."
-- Tonight could be a good opportunity for both little-used freshmen Terrence Samuel and Kentan Facey to see more playing time. Samuel has played just 35 minutes overall and Facey 27 minutes through eight games.
"It's a difficult stitation," Ollie said. "Can't play everybody right now. ... They're playing. They're using practices as their games. When we need them, they'll be right there.
"We need everybody to be alive and ready to go. Those guys are developing very, very well. I'm very pleased with their attitudes. With the guys not playing a lot, they're still buying in, which is a great attitude going forward. ... They're doing a great job. They'll get their chance, trust me."
-- As of Tuesday, UConn was ranked third in the RPI.
-- Napier needs four assists to become fourth Husky with 1,000 points and 500 assists in career, joining Taliek Brown, Doron Sheffer and Tate George.
-- Up next: UConn hosts Stanford Dec. 18 in Hartford.

The Éléonore mine achieved first gold on October 1, 2014. During 2015, gold production is expected to be between 290,000 and 330,000 ounces.
The Porcupine operation is located in Timmins, Ontario, one of the world's great gold producing camps. Progress continues on the Hoyle Deep project which is expected to result in significant efficiency and productivity improvements at the Hoyle Pond underground operation.
The Borden Gold project is expected to provide a new source of low-cost, high quality gold production for the Porcupine mine thereby leveraging the important investments we have already made in people, infrastructure and stakeholder partnerships.
Musselwhite had a turnaround year in 2014, exceeding production and driving down all-in sustaining costs by 25%. Production in 2015 is expected to be between 250,000 and 270,000 ounces.
The Cochenour project is an important component of the Red Lake district. In 2015, work continues on geotechnical assessments, backfill, and material handling studies, focusing on infrastructure rationalization and placement.
Located in one of the world's most prolific gold districts, Red Lake remains a top producer and a cornerstone asset. Exploration continues in and near the High Grade Zone - a region that averages over two ounces of gold per tonne of ore.
Peñasquito is Mexico's largest mine. In 2014, a new mine plan focused on profitable ounces resulted in stronger returns and record gold production. In 2015, gold production is expected to increase approximately 28% to between 700,000 and 750,000 ounces.
The Camino Rojo gold/silver project is 50 kilometres southeast of the Peñasquito mine. The focus of ongoing pre-feasibility study work is on the evaluation of the project as a supplemental source of sulphide feed to the existing Peñasquito facility, in addition to a small, stand-alone oxide heap leach facility.
In operation since 2007, Los Filos is a solid producer with 2015 gold production expected to be between 265,000 and 290,000 ounces. A focus in 2015 will be on the completion of a new life-of mine plan.
Marlin has been in production since late 2005, in 2014, the mine exceeded its guidance with 186,500 ounces produced. Now exclusively an underground mine, it is forecasted to produce between 160,000 and 175,000 ounces in 2015.
San Martin commenced reclamation and closure activities following the last full year of commercial production in 2007. In 2008, the San Martin mine camp was donated by Goldcorp to the San Martin Foundation.
Pueblo Viejo is located in the Dominican Republic, approximately 100 kilometres northwest of the capital city of Santo Domingo. Goldcorp holds a 40% interest, with the mine operator Barrick Gold Corporation owning the remaining interest. For 2015, the estimated gold production is between 420,000 and 460,000 ounces.
A 37.5% owned project, the Alumbrera began operations in February 1998, and has been an important operation during Goldcorp's growth. 2015 production is expected to be between 75,000 and 95,000 ounces.
The El Morro Project and Teck Resources Relincho Project have been combined into a 50/50 joint venture with the interim name of Project Corridor.
Cerro Negro is an advanced-stage, high-grade vein system located in the Santa Cruz province of Argentina. First gold was produced on July 25, 2014 and commercial production was declared on January 1, 2015. During 2015, production is expected to be between 425,000 and 475,000 ounces.
Goldcorp is a leading gold producer focused on responsible mining practices with safe, low-cost production throughout the Americas. A portfolio of long-lived, high-quality assets positions the Company to deliver long-term value.

New Data: The Correlations Between Social Sharing and Inbound LinksBlog Post: August 16, 2012
This can be sooo argued... Depends on who the sharers are, who they are followed by, how many followers, the nature of the niche (i.e. how active it is on the web and how likely people in it are to have any web properties they are able to place a link on), etc. Too many unknown variables to come to any solid conclusions. And if you do the analysis cross-niche it's like comparing apples to oranges.
How Twitter's Bad SEO Affects your Brand Reputation ManagementBlog Post: July 05, 2012
Ace post, Giuseppe! I have observed some of these issues some time ago (http://www.irishwonder.com/blog/2011/12/19/twitter-big-sites-fail-big/) - but infact the problem with Twitter SEO is at least 5 years old (see link from my post to John Mueller's post) - or maybe even as old as Twitter itself. What's up with them not wanting to fix it, I wonder? One would think fixing it would not be viable for them economically - but it doesn't really cost that much.

Facebook + Twitter's Influence on Google's Search RankingsBlog Post: April 19, 2011
You can call me names or point fingers at me or whatever but I say Facebook shares vs likes are still a thing to do with links - just the "special" kind of links that Google is so crazy about these days. Whether a page is shared or liked a link is added to a person's wall - the more shares or likes the more links. True, they are both nofolow, but so are e.g. Wikipedia links - yet being mentioned in Wikipedia is still a good signal last time I checked. However, a page can be liked only if it has this FB button on it (and how many of them in your data sample have them?) and to share a link, anybody can just post one to their wall.
An Illustrated Guide to Matt Cutts' Comments on Crawling & IndexationBlog Post: March 17, 2010
>Matt Cutts: (with regard to links in ads) Our stance has not changed on that, and in fact we might put out a call for people to report more about link spam in the coming months. We have some new tools and technology coming online with ways to tackle that. We might put out a call for some feedback on different types of link spam sometime down the road.
Ha - so is that their new technology? getting people to report stuff? nothing new then - as usual :D
> That sounds really good - a huge frustration for the SEO world has been the fact that so many SEOs perceive their competitors to be outranking them with black/gray hat linking techniques and feel they must engage as well is order to stay competitive. Shutting this down or making SEOs feel that Google is taking consistent action when obvious manipulation is reported would go a long way to quelling this thorny problem.
Well dohh - SPAM=Sites Positioned Above Mine - frustration, what frustration? you do not rank for pharmacy terms without forum spam and comment spam etc etc, and there are other markets where other types of links are required to rank. You just gotta do what you gotta do. Besides I've seen Google overlook so many really bad things being reported, I mean things outlawed by their webmaster guidelines even - not just those somebody considers "manipulation" subjectively.

Google's Sandbox Still Exists: Exemplified by Grader.comBlog Post: March 08, 2009
Dohh sandbox my arse...
>Earning higher quantities of links, particularly from trusted sources seems to be a common path to emergence, though grader.com certainly has its share of excellent links from places like C|Net, MSDN, Mashable, ReadWriteWeb & more.
Here's your answer - that's all there is to it. Google sees fresh content, it ranks it for a bit but there are no links to support that fresh content and it becomes not-so-fresh after a while so it drops the site until the site has enough links to rank properly. I have seen people with banned sites claiming they were in a sandbox, I have seen website owners not doing shite about their sites claiming they were in a sandbox - bullshit in both cases.
What Digital Experience Does Your CEO Need?Blog Post: March 06, 2009
Being an inhouse SEO means having to deal with a lot of corporate sh#t and less with SEO issues per se. If you are genuinely interested in SEO and not corporate sh#t then your career goals should not be any managerial positions. As for CEOs - first of all they should have trust in the people who work for them. Managing people is all about delegating and much less about knowing everything your subordinates are supposed to be doing.

Scoop on the SEOmoz AdsBlog Post: May 17, 2006
Rand, I've been meaning to say something about the ads while the thread about negative feedback was goign on but never got to it. So, what I have to say now is: 1. Recommending books definitely looks more suitable for your audience - this is most on topic and useful and likely to convert. 2. The old ads were not doign a good job - it looked like you vouched for them placing them on your site and yet soem of them looked a bit spammy, to put it mildly. 3. Why Adsense model is not likely to work for this kind of site - see my post

Search Engines on Link AttributesBlog Post: March 24, 2006
I realize I'm slightly hijacking the topic - but why not then consider a class attribute for < a > if its name is something like "external"? there's been a lot of talk of Google paying attention to funny class names (e.g. "hidden" etc.). But like G-man says, as soon as something is implemented there are ways to abuse it.
Domain Searches Using the Overture KW ToolBlog Post: March 20, 2006
Very interesting indeed. However, there is one more explanation to the phenomenon of typing the URLs into the search box that none of you has mentioned so far - and as somebody who's had some experience with mobile surfing I can shed some light on this one. I am not sure about Yahoo as I have only tried it with Google, but in order to access non-WAP pages you have to use something that adapts them to your mobile device - in my case, it was Google (would be really interesting to see the data similar to EGOL's Overture research from Google - and maybe then compare it to the percentage of mobile phones that come with Google as a default search engine. BTW this can account for the younger users who type URLs into the search box. This is exactly the way how I got to Threadwatch - I typed it into Google's search box, then I knew a link from Web Professor's profile would lead me to his site, then I knew there was something some place else with a live clickable link to my other destinations - but it all started with a search in Google, there was no way to avoid it. As for the Cuttlets not creating a major case for mattcutts.com searches - well consider what kind of audience that is - mostly SEOs or people somehow related to this industrry - aren't we likely to remember the URLs we often use? (Or, according to my theory, we don't use mobile devices much yet ;-) )
Dancing on the dark sideBlog Post: March 20, 2006
Dirty, rotten... ah how many titles. It's all about the context. Take keyword stuffing in its purest blackhat form and you will call it spam - but call it a case study or something and voila you got a legitimate reason for it. Take comment spam automated to its glands and stuffed with links and shite - and you got blackhat spam - the script kiddies kind of it. But make a legitimate comment like this one I'm making and insert a quote from some post I made somewhere over at my blog and link to it - and you got a legitimate reason for a link. Not only today's whitehat techniques make their way into the obscure dark area as time goes by - black hat techniques that were considered a total no-no just yesterday are legitimizing themselves and making their way into accepted white hat practice. It's all very relative - but in both directions. And remember, it's not OUR war - it's not a crime to be a blackhat - it's the search engines who make it a crime - and they only benefit from us arguing and calling each other names instead of sharing knowledge ;-)
Black Hat Topics on SEOmoz - Your Input NeededBlog Post: March 19, 2006
Show me a whitehat who hides his head in the sand and won't even want to know anything about any shady techniques who can investigate a site ban. There is one thing about teaching how to use blackhat methods and promoting them and quite another thing about knowing your business - which is not possible without knowing everything there is to it. There is one thing about script kiddies as brainless as they come - but they won't learn anything anyway - and quite another about being professional and knowing what each technique is worth. Spam in its ugliest and stupidest form comes from the script button pushing kiddies and has nothing to do with professional SEO. Also, FYI, AdSense click fraud is NOT a blackhat technique but pure fraud.
SpamAd 2.0 has arrivedBlog Post: March 15, 2006
Yes webprofessor is right, there's a bunch of these around, not all necessarily small(-ish), but they use the same principles. The IP address - what does that prove? - can't you choose your host freely and don't you do it based on their servers, prices, reliability etc rather than their physical location? As for AdSense placement - it doesn't prove shit and can't be considered as a main footprint worth targeting with an algo cause that's just what Google's own recommendations for ad placement suggest. And the future of blackhat sites is in being smart - so smarter they are getting. The stupid ones can all be sorted out by the algo, but those smart ones are stickier.
Can Too Many Links Delist a Site?Blog Post: March 14, 2006
Food for thought for a new type of googlebowling tactics, along with that post on SEO Book and another one there, "Can I Get Penalized for Who Links at My Site?"... the way things are now, it's a lose-lose situation for the SEs as no matter what they do there are still ways to use it against others if not for your own (direct) benefit.

The Wicked Ways of WikiWatchersBlog Post: February 14, 2006
Well like has been said many times before, good effective working ideas don't normally end up gettign posted in forums. Once an idea is posted publicly it gets exploited ad nauseam by people who lack experience/imagination/brains to invent their own ways of doing things that would work and consequently stops working - that's what happened to articles - as soon as the idea got promoted through WebProNews it's basically dead (I don't want to sound like I have something agains WebProNews, I got a link from them just recently - not for my own article writing though - so I can't complain). Considering the coverage Wikipedia spamming is recently getting, it's likely to be dead as wel in the nearest future - be it Google discounting links from Wikipedia or Wikipedians themselves implementing nofollow or something - but something's bound to happen once it becomes too messy. Michael - email me (irishwonder at irishwonder dot com) and I'll tell you the way to watch pages you haven't edited - as well as ways to watch many other things. I don't think it'd be a good idea posting it in public - I used that way to research the most effective ways to spam Wikipedia - if I figured them out that way others will too - so no need to promote things like that in the open.

Nice bit of exposure and two worthy people to represent the white side and the dark side ;-) Congrats As for the false statements and mistakes - believe me I have seen worse - that's what happens if soemebody who's not specialized in something tries to write about a special topic like SEo - all kinds of twists are inevitable. Software download - hmm why didn't they provide a URL for that??? LOL
