Jaimie Sirovich has made a (belated) post about Wikipedia nofollowing all their outbound links. I never commented on this issue when it first arose, but Jaimies clever title brought his article to my attention. He suggests that Wikipedia nofollow outbounds for the first 90 days. I think this is a bit silly as Google et al can currently decide the age of a link and weight it accordingly should they decide to do so – and Wikipedia and other sites ‘aging’ links on-site would just complicate matters even further.
No-one seems to have realised that Wikipedia is worthwhile spamming for traffic alone never mind PR, so the spam ain’t going to stop.

Esruns third video shows how php can be used to create a website templating system. A useful video for anyone interested in dynamic sites; although this video may be considered Black Hat, there are techniques taught here that are useful to any web developer.

I have found Esrun’s videos invaluble when creating php applications to interface with the web. For anyone new to php they show the power of a few simple lines of code. Here is a link to the first one that I posted a while ago: How to Scrape Keywords
This is the second in Esrun’s series; Ask.com search results scraper.

Another day, another WordPress theme. ‘Flowers‘ went for BIN in 24 hours too, this time the sponsor was Health and Beauty (thanks!).
I’m having a third (and possibly final) theme sponsorship auction for the awesome ‘Hong Kong‘ theme. See the auction here.
