Issue # 203 (09-02-2003)

Have You Seen Me Lately ?

Last week (August 18-24), The Search Engine Strategies Conference (SES) was held in San Jose, CA, at The Doubletree Hotel. Nearly 2000 attendees made the trek to Silicon Valley to dance with Google, soak in the sun, suck in the drinks; and network their rear-ends off. Oh, there were tons of very educational presentations as well… Read on.

Forum Watch
It's been a few weeks since we announced a massive round of changes to the forums, and things are going very well. Traffic is increasing at a rapid speed and shows no signs of slowing down. Conversations and debates are being sparked by new members and JimGuides alike. We'd love to hear your thoughts about the JimGuide idea, and we're always open to suggestions about other changes that might be worthwhile. You can share your feedback and ideas with us by dropping us a line at the JimWorld Feedback Forum: http://www.jimworld.com/apps/searchengine.forums/action::topiclist/forum::gazette/

You may have also noticed that not all of the forums currently have JimGuides associated with them. We still have over a dozen spots open, and we'd like to encourage our members and Gazette readers to apply for the positions. The basic requirements are:

* A history of posts in the forums that demonstrate knowledge of the forum topic
* A history of posts in the forum that demonstrates an ability to spark conversation
* The ability to play well with others in the forums
* The willingness to write an article on your topic once every two months

To apply for a JimGuide position, send an email message to Jennifer Laycock explaining which position you are applying for, and containing links to existing threads in the forums that you feel demonstrate your qualifications for the position.

In the next issue of the Gazette, I'll be explaining an interesting new feature that John is in the process of finishing up for the forums.

Thank you for your review, I will benefit from your suggestions. I have one
question though. You said "In the source, you really need a meta description
for each page just as you do with any web site." How do I do this with blogger?

This "Scumbag of the Week" article is irresponsible. I had not trouble at all in receiving the following response from SpamArrest:

"Hi James,

Thank you for your email.

James, what you see there is absolutely wrong and is done to misguide our users and our new customers from Spam Arrest. We have over 1.5 million customers with us including you. You have been with us for a very long time, James. You can check with any of your contacts whether they have received any junk emails from us. We never do such a thing and its completely against our ethics! We hate spam as much as you do and so, along with stopping it, we make sure that none of our customer's emails are noted as spam. We warn our customers from sending bulk emails about the fact that their contacts might misunderstand their bulk emails as spam and will turn against them and Spam Arrest. A company following only such healthy practices can never do such a thing like spamming. What we value the most is our customer's trust and we will make all efforts to retain that in the best way possible. We never admit your personal information to any third party under whatsoever circumstances. You will find a whole lot of misleading things like this in Internet, James. We have friends and foes like anyone else in this planet.

I hope you will understand us the best way possible, James. Please do let me know if you need any further clarifications regarding this.

Best Regards,
Peter
Technical Support Specialist
Spam Arrest"

In the 3 years that I have used SpamArrest, I personally have never received one complaint from anyone that has been 'spammed' from any theoretical 'spam list' that SpamArrest may have created. I think that their statement above makes it clear that they would not do this.

I behooves you to publish a retraction.

Jim Bolton
