Okay, so here is a question that I asked Mr Cutts over on his blog. He is quite a busy guy so I doubt will respond but if he does I will post it here.

Hi Mr Cutts,

Your example is a good one, however, how can you with anything above 70% of accuracy decide what blogs are writing paid for reviews and what blogs are genuinely writing an article about something which the author finds interesting?

FireflySEO's David Fairhurst is now working with EPOS Software giants Intelligent Retail, promoting not only their own corporate website but also the seo for their wide range of retail clients.

Intelligent Retail have been producing top quality EPOS software for years now, rivalling the likes of Actinic and JSA's own offerings. Some of you with (very!) long memories might remember that many years ago Firefly (then Firefly I.T.) tied together an Actinic website and a JSA EPOS system to produce a totally integrated selling solution - the system Intelligent Retail have created is far more sophisticated than this though, as it has the addition of true multi-channel selling via Ebay!

With the recent announcement from Google of the imminent release of SearchWiki, which allows user customisation of Google search results, we've heard a lot of flap about the possible demise of the web marketing Industry... after all, if Joe Public can choose what he sees in his search results, then surely all our hard won placements are 'up the spout?'

Okay, so despite previous posts (Twitter a waste if time and Twitter to the Rescue) we have finally given in. FireflySEO will now be chatting away on Twitter.

Yes, yes, we eat our words! For now anyway, Twitter seems to be a good pleace to get chatting with your fellow seo bods, dare I even say it, gain a bit of an interest.

Give it a go your self. Or Follow us first to see what it is all about!

Much news today about Google doing a U Turn on Gambling Terms in the UK. Its not 100% confirmed yet but considering that Google have already released an application form, its a good bet that it is going to happen!

Okay here is where it becomes controversial. Check the small print on that form "where the advertiser has a valid licence". Okay, so lets just be clear here. At the current time, what Google appears to be gearing up to allow is Gambling Related PPC but only for white listed gambling companies who have a licence.

Kind of sucks if you are an online casino or general gambling affiliate because you guys can not get a licence!!

Following on from our UK seo Personalities line up post in February, we thought we would now get round to updating the post with all your comments and suggestions... here goes, and sorry it has taken so long!

Microsoft, that global bastion of software bloat, has announced today that the Beta 2 version of it's ubiquitous browser Internet Explorer (of Internet Exploder as we like to call it!) is now available for download.

IE8 has some new features, some useful and some not so useful, especially if you don't use the Windows Operating System.

Creating a website, writing content and making money from it via CPA, CPM or PPM schemes. That's what its all about right, that’s why we are all in this game!?

I guess many of us also have day jobs or punt out our skills as seo professionals on a consultancy fee basis, but surely the reason, the key goal for most seo professionals who know what they are doing and have been doing it for some time is to create websites which generate revenue and more importantly profit! Lots of it!! Well maybe not everyone’s goal, but its certainly mine.

Well folks I’ll be honest, I am scared, I am very scared. Its CPA 2.0!! The Rise of the Cashback sites!!!! Just look at the staggering growth in brand name search volume of fairly recently establish cashback website, Quidco.

CPA Marketers, its time to die, or its time to stand up and fight!!
