Beware fake PageRank shills on Ebay

Tuesday, January 2nd, 2007

Here’s a head’s up for anyone who likes to buy websites on Ebay. There have been reports of sellers selling sites with fake Page Rank. Beware! You can get yourself banned from all page ranking sites pretty quickly with these types of domains. Be sure to check the page rank of every site that you might be buying from a seller other than legit proven vendors.

You can use Google’s page rank tool, Blogflux,URL Trends, and Page Strength checker to make sure what you are buying is quality. It is also good to report these people to Ebay.

Robots crawling under our feet

Friday, December 29th, 2006

In recent news, it has come to my attention that there are now robots that will crawl under the city to check on the lines that run electricity and such. This seems like a good deal, right? Less obtrusive than the normal methods. Of course, it could also be kind of unnerving when one thinks about the implications of it all.

I knew when that movie “I, Robot” came out that this was not far from the truth. When we watched the “Matrix” before that I said that it was born from a scenario that was already in the making. When we watched “Terminator” the trilogy, we all understood that these things just might come to pass. Now that they are on the horizon, it’s just a bit more scary than I once imagined.

PayPal Virtual Debit Card goes live

Wednesday, December 27th, 2006

The new “card” is accepted anywhere that takes Mastercard on the Web. You just download the little program to your computer and off you go. Some are criticizing the move saying that it will be more trouble than it is worth, but only time will tell.

I like that you don’t have to give your actual card number out to different places on the Internet. It gives you peace of mind knowing that your identity and money will not be stolen. This might just be something I decide to download for my own personal use.
