I just signed into my Digital Pointless account (yes I do actually have one, though I created it to try and sell some domains).
Anyway, after signing in and making a case for my latest cause (a fibre optic network for Britain), I took a look at my Control Panel. Lone behold, I had received some negative talkupation/reputation from some “know-it-all” scammer who believed that PageRank was superior to visitors! (more…)

Somehow, I’ve managed to pick up a reputation for being against the Digital Point(less) forums - I’ve got no idea how…
Before I launch into a rant, I want to briefly explain why I detest DP with a vengeance. I first released how rubbish filled the forum was when I started visiting Webmaster-Talk *reminisces* Back then, I just accepted this as fact, it coming from knowledgeable sources on spamming (they know who they are!) Anyway, I decided to embark on the forums myself as although they’re full of scammers, spammers and other idiots. While my experience didn’t last long, a very quick peak in on the SEO “badvice” I found was enough to confirm my fears. Right, time for the main subject, a blog post about none-other than ME!
This blog post, coming from a Digital Point member who must have also noticed me at Webmaster-Talk seems to sum up my feelings, even if it is slightly biased. (more…)

After deciding to get some traffic to my site soon, I posted a thread on the Webmaster-Talk forums.
Below is post:
I am looking to buy advertising space related to web hosting. I don’t want to buy this space where lots of other web hosts are also advertising though - your site can have Adsense and things, but preferably not banners or multiple text links. I’m willing to pay approximately £20-£30 ($40-$60) per month for the space.
If you own a web site which is related to hosting and has a reasonable amount of traffic, please PM me. I don’t want PM spam or link exchanges.
Lone behold, what do I get? PM spam about link exchanges from a lonely spammer:

Some days, you just wake up and after a quick inbox check, you know it will be a spam day! Well that’s it’s like for me.
Hotmail spam is the worst. The junk mail filter is supposedly advanced and can sort out spam from real email. Not so for me. My hosting company, Whym Web Hosting, seems to have woken up on the wrong side of the spam filter, while annoying ‘confirmation’ emails bypass it on a daily basis. Is it just me, or do other people get these “Please confirm your flight to Hawaii” or emails from the “Confirmation Dept.”
