Beau, I fixed it on www.tip32.com- still does not work, I think there might be a problem with the theme. However it works perfectly on www.go-beyond-mls.com I think your solution is by far the best I tried. Not sure you realize it but your approach solves the issue with wp super cache. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Go Beyond MLS : Entrecard Traffic Exchange With Benefits? I Am Not Getting It.

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 16:29:36 +0000

Sometimes you can tell how things go by the quality of blogs. Entrecard has failed to impress me with the blogs in Real Estate category... I am treating this as an experiment.

Shouldn't we start convincing our merchants to begin collecting sales taxes? Well know that this will not stop with CA... Aren't the merchants in position of start collecting the sales tax with a "flick of a switch"?

Go Beyond MLS : RealDiggity.com - "Digg-like" Website For Realtors

Wed, 18 Mar 2009 14:53:45 +0000

Tony, Thanks for stopping by. I was watching you doing a presentation about the site, but was a little in a rush to write down your name. So thanks for stopping by. I registered with the Realdiggity when you where doing the presentation. Not sure if you have considered Pligg or not, many of the functions are already build into Pligg. If I am not mistaken Pligg was the piece of software that gave start to Digg, but do not quote me on this. At the end of the day it really does not matter what software to use. Now you need some serious links and a little traffic to get it going. I did not realize you were an agent. This can probably help you to promote the site. Feel free to tap me on the shoulder when you introduce the new features, I would love to feature your site on my blog again. Good luck!

Go Beyond MLS : LeapFish CEO Uses Twitter To Assail Bloggers

And a liar. But it is over now. No more posts and visits to my blogs on their IP.

Go Beyond MLS : CEO of LeapFish And Rumour Control

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 00:03:47 +0000

Really sad. This is a second startup that had a potential. And they are screwing it so badly. They will not be able afford that many Wii and Mac Air to keep their "search engine" afloat. Every time some one criticizes them, they are up in arms.... If they think it is tough now lets wait until they try contact Aaron Wall's or Mike's (the guy from Grey Howl Blog) clients. I am not sure if you read his entire "rumour rebuttal" post, but I think if he aspires to be a CEO in the likes of Steve Jobs that post will actually turn to hunt him.... Some of the rumours I learned from his post and made me say "hmmmm" ... Some rumours are better left unchallenged or you are in danger of giving them more credibility.

Go Beyond MLS : LeapFish Sells Keyword "Viagra" For $7,104?

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 16:56:40 +0000

I am surprised Pirillo's review of LeapFish went largely unnoticed... But I guess it happens from time to time. It did nothing to lessen Chris' authority in my eyes. I don't think he recommended them highly. Besides now that IZEA has redirects on paid reviews instead of friendly SEO links in the long run TechCrunch's posts will matter more than anything else.... I will LeapFish a lot of luck trying to out-SEO TechCrunch's position for the term "LeapFish" on Google. As for the comments... I wish whoever wrote them stayed clear of stating that since AdSense account was not involved it was not really a "click fraud". I am writing a post about it and how many AdSense publishers were kicked out of the system (rightly or not) and yet LeapFish continues without a "wag of the finger" from Google, especially since LeapFish uses Google's API to aggregate the results. I am sure no one important will ever notice it, but as some one who uses AdWords and encourages friends and colleagues and readers of this blog to do the same, I can not be silent.

I think they target non-experienced audience as they can't handle any criticism. Once you criticize them you are a "rogue" :) blogger. Thanks for stopping by "Digger" !

Go Beyond MLS : LeapFish Sells Keyword "Viagra" For $7,104?

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 15:05:31 +0000

Matt, As always thanks for stopping by. Sadly, Chris Pirillo did write about LeapFish. A paid review to make a quick cash for a charity if I am not mistaken- yet another ugly side of paid reviews. I believe the review was through IZEA. As I read over the first comment, I begin to suspect they might have been written by their legal council. It took him 8 hours to comment, strange for a guy that Twitters non-stop. We'll see where it goes. ;)

Go Beyond MLS : LeapFish Sells Keyword "Viagra" For $7,104?

Mark, First of all read the first paragraph of this article, I have clearly stated that LeapFish disapproves click fraud incident and the astroturfing incident. Second, this is an opinion piece and never do I claim to be a journalist. My opinion of LeapFish is not favourable, but I am sure you can gather that by now. You make no effort to change it either. Are you telling me that advertisers sending $7,000+ decided not to link to their own websites but link to LeapFish blog or not to link to any one at all? You are absolutely right then, I do not understand the advertising model. But thanks for clarifying. You should probably do so on the "pre-sell" pages on your website. I expressed my opinion of your advertising model. Since you brought up AdSense, I am thinking that my next post should reflect on why Google should pull the plug on LeapFish and stop serving any data to your site. No you did not benefited from the clicks, you just made your partner (Google. You use their API, don't you?) look extremely bad. If you think the click fraud is exaggerated, why that slaes person was fired? Or was that a lie as well? Finally I never mentioned by name your CEO, I understand that running a company of about 100 employees he can't keep track of every "loose canon". I do not understand why you are trying to put words in my mouth. Whenever I have an issue with him, I am not shy expressing it. This article has nothing to do with him, it is all about LeapFish.

Steve, I am not quiet sure who runs it. I saw a shore presentation about it via Ustream... I wish I wrote the guys name down, but I was in the rush that day and hoped I will find more about the website itself later.... It would be good idea to come up with some sort of "About" page.

Go Beyond MLS : Real Estate Blogs Top 100

Sun, 8 Mar 2009 13:17:34 +0000

Ned, I should have probably give the heads up to my readers about that other website. Unfortunately it did not produce the results I would like. Most of the traffic I got on that website was spent on the top few blogs of the list. Maintaining of the list became expensive as well. I may move the list back to this blog.... but am not positive yet. I would like to find a way for every one to benefit from it.

Go Beyond MLS : LeapFish CEO Uses Twitter To Assail Bloggers

Thu, 5 Mar 2009 18:07:38 +0000

Mark, thanks for stopping by. There was plenty of time to deal with above described tweets. I don't care how old the tweets are. They certainly do not speak in favour of the CEO of LeapFish. I believed I offered sufficient amount of time for these tweets to be removed. I understand I can't tell you or your CEO what to do. But I have right to defend myself. As so do you.

TecChrunch linked to me in one of their posts that made to front page of Digg.... I was getting only "leftovers"- about 1,000 in 10 minutes lol. Still since I am not on a dedicated server, this plugin saved my behind.
