Why Does National Positions SEO Firm Has To Spam

I'm not sure I really know why this company sends out spam to promote their claim that they can get you ranked better in google, yahoo and msn. If they could, then they wouldn't send out SPAM, instead they would just show up when you went searching for an seo firm.



Yesterday and today I received emails from this "National Positions" company in California claiming to offer their seo services to help me rank better. The funny thing is that they send you a message with the subject line of "suggestion re: domain.com/contact" or some other form. As if anyone cares if their contact form is ranked!



All of these messages also came from random gmail accounts with strings of numbers in them, clearly some kind of spam operation that is pretty automated. Why they waste their time and more importantly why anyone calls them is beyond me.



So am I the only one getting these messages?

Yicrosoft Directory What?

Yicrosoft Directory is the contest term for an seo contest sponsored by SEoNoob. We decided to enter our site http://www.yicrosoft-directory.biz/ just to see what happens with it. So far over night the number of results for this term have gone from 10 to 420 in Google. Should be an interesting contest!

Why GM's OnStar Service Sucks

I just bought a vehicle with GM's OnStar System installed and it came with a 1 year subscription. I've had some privacy concerns in the past about Onstar however, I spend a lot of time in the middle of nowhere - so I thought it would be nice.



I called and setup Onstar on Friday and yesterday they sent me an email with my car information including the mileage, tire pressure, etc about my vehicle. I went to the website to login and it said that it couldn't find my account number.



So I did what it said - called OnStar Service and Support. I was directed to someone and after a 10 minute phone call it was determined that I could not login to my account because it was too new. The Onstar Rep told me that it can take 3 weeks to get my online account setup.



They said that because OnStar works with a third party vendor for the OnStar website, it can take three weeks for the account to get setup. I have no idea why this is going to take three weeks to create a login unless they are sending the information via smoke signals.



We build websites all the time that have databases that need to be sync'd up and it doesn't take three weeks like OnStar does. Instead its done either instantly or nightly.



After questioning the OnStar Rep as to why it was going to take three weeks for them to create my account, I got nothing other than the standard response of that is what the third party said it would take.



As to why OnStar can send me an insane amount of information about my car - including my car's phone number - it can't create a login for a website in less than three weeks. This is why OnStar went from being really cool to really bad.

Microsoft to buy yahoo talk about a possible google killer. If privacy experts are concerned about google they should be really worried about it

Mosso - All PHP sites down again

I have most of my sites hosted with mosso - and things are always great or terrible. Right now I found out that they fall into that terrible category. As in all PHP 4 and 5 sites are down.... not slow... but down - 404 error page not found down.



I have had this problem several times with Mosso over the 8 months that I have had hosting with them - however I'm not quite sure what else to do - as the site would likely need more than a dedicated server to run.



So if you have mosso - make sure you send them an email with your downtime documentation and request the credit to your account - 1 day free for every 1 hour of downtime.



I even called the tech support line and the guy had the nerve to tell me that I could check the status page.



Its funny that right now my sites are down - mosso.com is up...



This may seem kind of ranting - but I just want to make sure anyone who is thinking of using mosso - realizes that it can be an up and down ride.
