In an attempt to force this hitherto little known blog into the search engine results pages for keywords that are actually searched on (well at least some), newly acclaimed freedom writer Terry Didcott has made a few minor alterations to his self-branding blog in order to accommodate this.

This self styled Freedom Writer and legend in his own latrine has come up with yet another long winded, rambling ramble about not a great deal. Well, not entirely true.

That's right, I just won Monika Mundell's "Shake It Up Competition!" She was running it over on her blog, The Writers Manifesto for the month of November.

Freedom writers and sedentary lifestyle go together hand in hand. Unfortunately, being a writer means logging long hours in front of a hot computer these days which means not very much exercise. That's bad news for our health, as if we need to be told what we already know! Still, it gives me an excuse to write about writers an

Well this is in spite of the recent scaremongering about blogs that display paid links, paid reviews and such like all getting a nasty slapping from Google.

Google have been upsetting a lot of bloggers of late. Quite rightly so, those lkoggers have responded with a barrage of posts bemoaning their loss of page rank, or simply airing their anger at Google's insensitivity to individual circumstances. What's missing is some good old fashioned competition to Google's rapidly growing position of po

Have Google started targeting Squidoo lenses once again? This lensmaster has noticed nearly all of his lenses that had recently gained page rank in the last round of changes, have now lost all rank.

Why would Google give, then take away again? Nothing has been added to those lenses apart from more content - no additional links or anything
