Regarding the grocery stores... Layout changes from time to time, often in subtle ways such as (locally, this happened several months ago) the chilled juices being swapped with the chilled raw meats. They were back-to-back, in adjacent aisles. However, this would cause people to have to go searching for these relatively highly sought products.
This, in turn, would lead them past special offers and other 'impulse purchase' shelves. It keeps people in the store for longer, which may lead them to spend more money.
I don't believe it's in a grocery stores interests to get people in and out as soon as possible, so don't expect their cooperation ;)
Off Topic also: google still count them as backlinks, but do not pass on Pagerank juice. They might still count them as a small factor in website rankings.
Irish mobile operators(specifically 3) just began to introduce 'all you can eat', or unlimited, data plans.
As I understand it, the AUP is limited to 1TB per month - more than my residential 500GB cable cap. I know several people who tether their laptops and phones, to use it in their own homes.
Personally, I use less than 100MB mobile data a month, but I also don't use a conventional (Android, iOS) smartphone any more. I went dumb ;)
I don't think this is call white-hat SEO practice. White Hat is not directly purchase links but they do content + innovative way to get other people links to them. Link purchase is against the Google policy.
I've generally seen it been called white-hat. In my (limited) experience, black-hat is generally used to reference automatic link building, content spinning etc., while white-hat to reference link building through other means that Google will(or can) not automatically penalize.
No, black hat would be more comment backlink blasts and such, using tools like scrapebox.
I think it's called "white hat" more so than "black hat" because it's usually "safe" to do so. i.e., Google will not be able to automatically detect these links which are against their terms of service to penalize them.
Yeah, that is interesting. Abt the same time :). Reminds of the Malcolm Gladwell cartoon of people thinking the same thing while walking down the road.
Is there a way to block the page before loading? I see a (long) flash of the webpage before the block screen appears in chromium 11.0.696.68 (84545) Ubuntu 10.04
Otherwise, I like this plugin. I used to block websites via /etc/hosts, but it gets annoying having to jump into sudo and edit the file on my lunch, and sometimes, I forget to reenable it.
I used to have a bash script that would automatically comment out and uncomment lines in /etc/hosts (using sed, as I recall), as well as having an automatic timer so it would block access after ten minutes or so. Come to think of it, I could probably have also set it up so it would only run during certain blocks of time (it wasn't effective because it was too easy to run).
(It's probably predictable that my response to this was wondering why it's superior to host-file blocking).
AFAIK, it is currently not a crime within the United States, although there is legislation in the pipeline to make streaming a felony[1]. These websites rely on having links to the copyrighted content, rather than hosting it themselves.
I looked at TarSnap and I dont quite get it. I am using Dropbox now. Do I keep my files in the same structure and manually tar them and upload? Does the tar and upload happen automatically? The site doesn't quite explain how I get my files up...What about the always in-sync features like DropBox?
This, in turn, would lead them past special offers and other 'impulse purchase' shelves. It keeps people in the store for longer, which may lead them to spend more money.
