I had previous issues with paypal and it usually took them few weeks up to a month to review them and always the decision was not in my favour
And off course everyone heard all the horror stories about paypal and credit card chargebacks, some of them are here
But! .. recently i had another small and unpleasant issue with paypal and they froze my account temporary. I needed to remove paypal payment option from my site since it violated one of their various terms. So i did it, within about 2 hours. Read the rest of this entry »

After reading the title you probably think I’m going to give out some blogging tips, but in fact it’s the other way around, I hope to receive some tips here.
See, when I started this blog I didn’t really think anyone would read it, but strange enough there’re quite a few people who read it and even comment on my posts, so I’m not that bad at blogging after all
But I think my blog design is too simple and i need to add more features and plugins. Every other decent blog has a bunch of cool plugins and a nice design, so which
plugins would you recommend me to install here?
I think something that can show last posts and add tags would be cool, but I’m a newbie in blogging, so give me some tips here please

Remember the old times when google rocked and you could find whatever you looked for in just one search?
Well, google has been all about fighting web spam now and the relevancy of the results, affected by the anti spam algo’s is starting to suck..
I’ve been searching recently for a little icq client for windows and what do i find? First two results are about linux, the third one is some unrelated interview.
And it’s not just one example, happens all the time that I need to do a couple searches in google to find what i want.
Now if you run the same search query in ask.com - all the results are relevant…
Make a conclusion yourself

It seems like DigitalPoint has been down for a couple hours now.
Earlier it showed a weird MySql database error :S
Do you see the same?

Update: Kramnik won, so my guess was right
Final score: Topalov 7.5 - 8.5 Kramnik
Chess is for smart and intelligent people only so you can skip this post
As a chess player myself I’ve been following the match closely and watched most of the games, some even live via the site.
First I was very surprised that Topalov lost first two games - he should have won both judging by the positions he had. Then he managed to win a few games and now it’s a tie 5.5 - 5.5 Read the rest of this entry »

This is the big news and everyone is talking about it, so I guess I should blog about it as well
Generally I think it’s not good for “small” adsense publishers like us and we’ll see later ..

Yes that’s right!
You can get a PR9, a real PR9, like in yahoo for just $1000/year - which is less than $90/month - Amazing isn’t it?
So.. what’s the catch?
The catch is it’s a nofollow.. and there’re another 300 links like yours on the same page, but still it is a pr9 and you’ll be able to brag to your girlfriend that you got a PR9 link!
The link is here - do a $1K+ donation to w3c and get your link up quickly for one year. Matt Cutts was asked about it and his reply, with other comments are available here
I think W3C should be actually making around $1M/year on these “link sales” - that’s the way a directory business should look like 
I’m going to buy a few links myself as well, will report later on that
what do you think about it?
