Adding Twitter Share Via Attribution to Swifty Bar WordPress Plugin

Barry Wise — Sat, 10 Oct 2015 06:14:15 +0000

Tonight I discovered a really cool plugin for Wordpress called Swifty Bar. It adds a floating share bar on the footer of your blog posts with a Medium-style "x many minutes to read" estimator with a visual progress bar showing you how far along you are in text. The one feature it doesn't have is a means of attribution with the Twitter share button.

Use This to Check Your Site’s SSL Before Google Distrusts You

Barry Wise — Tue, 16 Sep 2014 17:03:36 +0000

I came across a great new open source website (awesome domain) that will check whether or not the SSL certificate you installed on your website will be deemed obsolete and worthless by Google next month. Just enter your website's URL and it will analyze your SSL certificate - you know, the SSL cert - the thing that adds the padlock and the HTTPS to preface the URL of your website. Yes, Google is also judging you for your cert now, and this news is coming right on the heels of the speculation and buzz around Matt Cutts' speculation and buzz that he'd like to see SSL and HTTPS become a ranking factor in Google search results.

5 Million Gmails Hacked, Was Yours One?

Barry Wise — Wed, 10 Sep 2014 19:34:24 +0000

A couple hours ago I heard that Gmail had been hacked and a list of about 5 million emails had been leaked last night. There is still some conjecture about what happened and how, but what is certain is that this is a list of legitimate emails, and should be taken seriously. So I built a security alerts tool which will check if your Gmail address has been hacked recently.

Social Media Optimization (SMO) Is The New SEO

Barry Wise — Thu, 25 Jul 2013 16:11:48 +0000

Is SEO Dead? I don’t know, but it sure doesn't hold a candle to the power of Social Media signals these days. I think a lot of people much smarter than I will agree with that statement. So if Social Media is becoming arguably more important than Search Engine Optimization, what are you doing about Social Media Optimization?

Microsoft Follows Google’s Rules of Trademark Use In PPC

Barry Wise — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 13:58:36 +0000

Microsoft released an announcement today that as of March 3rd, 2011, they will no longer be making editorial investigations into "complaints about trademarks used as keywords to trigger ads on Bing & Yahoo! Search in the United States and Canada." What this basically means is they are allowing anyone to bid on a trademarked term for PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising, even if someone else owns the trademark on that term. They still, however, will investigate text within the ads (note their new "Investigations" policy).

Google Announces Social Media to Influence Search Rankings

Barry Wise — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 13:57:03 +0000

A few days ago Matt Cutts of the Google Web Search Quality Team announced that Google is going to start factoring signals from social networks such as Twitter and Facebook in their search engine rankings and results. This marks a shift from a video Cutts made in May 2010 in which he reported Google was not looking at social results.

If a Country Can’t Reclaim a Username, What Chance Do You Have?

Barry Wise — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 20:45:29 +0000

It was recently reported that the state of Israel purchased the Twitter username @Israel from a private individual named Israel Meléndez for an undisclosed sum, which by some reports may be as much as six figures. You read that right – the Nation of Israel paid for a Twitter username from some guy that runs a porn site in Miami. He gave the prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu his password, and then they handed him a check.
