As social media spreads, web applications need to get smarter. They have to strike up a conversation with each visitor – and become sociable.
Part of the next evolution of the web – Web 3.0 to some – is claimed to be the Semantic Web, which enables websites to provide information about what information and functionality they have, and to communicate with other websites.

It’s been over two months since I posted to this blog. Not because of laziness or lack of motivation, but because I have come down with an illness. It’s called Thyroid, and it is thoroughly unpleasant.
Not that blogging is the cause of this illness, but theoretically stress could be a contributing factor. I had not gotten far with the renewed effort on this blog, but I am still determined to get it rolling again.
Despite my illness, I am working hard to deliver SEO projects and Reputation Management work, and when I have recovered enough to continue with this blog, I will post about some interesting findings there.
Thank you all who are so supportive – I appreciate it more than I can tell you!

In the series of listing affiliate networks in Europe, the turn has come to the UK. British advertisers obviously have a lot more affiliate networks to choose from than countries like Sweden and Denmark, but the competition is a lot tougher as well. In general, if you are a UK-based business, consider the age, size and growth rate of each affiliate network, before you join. Read more…

A website without a strategy is like driving through the jungle without a road to follow – you’re bound to get lost before you get very far!
