Stupid move by Roadrunner Records

May 12th, 2007 § § permalink

Record labels have the mentality of a dinosaur and have the stupid tendency of missinterpreting the advantages of new web technologies or what is called web 2.0 and viral promotion.

Since today, most major labels promoting crap commercial music have hunted down and removed  all the videos uploaded to You Tube and Google Video, untill they realised that those videos are in fact free advertising and they started uploading themselves. In all this stupid game, metal & rock labels have set an example by being the pioneers in using the viral tools to their own advantage. That untill today.

Roadrunner Records, one of the most important indie labels on the metal & rock scene has disabled embedding options on their video channel joining the ranks of corporate stupidity.

SEO Tip: Custom URLs in blogger

March 10th, 2007 § § permalink

Untill the current version of blogger, the URL* matched the title of the post. That meant, that each time you modified the the title, the URL changed. Perhaps this caused a series of 404 errors for spiders and RSS readers and they decide to fix it by giving a unique URL* for each post that maches the first written title.

What means that for the ones that want a litlle SEO spice in their blogger blog:

Now you can create a post with your target keywords in title, publish it and then return and change the title to a more human friendly format. Before doing that play around to detect what are the maximum characters allowed in the URL.

*When I say custom URL I am reffering to the part that comes after blogspot.com/ 

Where Am I?
