Comment on What Should I Blog About? by tomaszjot

In one of the post on WF you mentioned combining SEO and PPC for gaining traffic. It looks risky to me but I would like to try. If you could cover the topic one day it would be great.

Comment on Interpreting the Market Samurai SEO Competition Module Data by Neil

Just found this article, and it’s exactly what I was looking for. I’ve been trying to work out what this SEO lark is about, found Market Samurai earlier today, and now I have a decent guide to how I can exploit it.

One quick question – which of the above categories is “most important” if you can pick one? Each MS search profile is different and I’m sure there’s a bit of an art to knowing which is the best to take down.

Comment on Competitors Are Awesome You Dummy by Rob Adler

I agree, competition breeds innovation. The only thing that kills me is when competitors do nothing but copy, and you’re stuck innovating heh.

Comment on Project Clients Vs. Product Customers – How To Maintain Sanity By Building Products by Danny

Really enjoyed this post Darrin. Good to see I’m not alone in my client-directed ire. I maintain my sanity by refusing to meet with new prospects who want to ask questions and cutting off tire-kickers as soon as I sniff ‘em out.

I disagree with you saying 99% of clients are one-timers, it doesn’t work that way for me at least, and there are many instances of advertising agencies who have managed clients accounts for decades.

Anyway, enjoying your blog, hope all is well… D

Any idea if this only affects searches that originate from Google.com? As in, will this also affect searches from Chrome’s omnibar, or the Firefox browser search field?

Previously thought this was hype when I first read in a daze yesterday, but when put like this – fair point.

I remember reading a few weeks ago about Facebook limiting company page post showing in user feeds.

Looks like we’re all slowly being pushed down the funnel – I can see the end in sight where EVERYTHING must be paid for in £s / $s rather than effort and skill.

I can’t seem to edit my post, but here’s are two links that you can use to test it yourself:
Non SSL: http://coios.net/test/
SSL: https://secure.coios.net/test/ It’s an extremely simple test, but if you don’t have access to a domain with HTTPS, it can be a hassle. You can use localhost (with and without SSL) to test the referral.

(sorry, messed up a link with my previous comment)

I couldn’t wait, so I tested it now on Chrome 14.0.835.202 (latest stable), IE 9.0.8112 and Firefox 6.0.2 the results are the same for all:

HTTP to HTTP: Referer sent.
HTTP to HTTPS: Referer sent.
HTTPS to HTTP: Referer not sent.
HTTPS to HTTPS: Referer sent.

Now I’m not sure about Opera sending the referer in every single case, and I can’t test it at the moment, but it should at least send referers from HTTPS to HTTPS.
