Superbowl Ads ( or Superbowl Adds ) in Online Searches
I’ve had so many hits lately on searches for “Superbowl Adds” that hit this site since my blog on the local MSN video search entitled “Wanna Watch the Superbowl XL from the Sky?? Local Live Adds Detroit to the City List” went live. Since it’s so easy to hit that “d” twice on a keyboard, I decided to help those visitors looking for Superbowl ads. Here’s where you can view them online or… on your iPod (of course!)…
Your iPod can display mini-versions of the Superbowl darlings by subscribing to the Superbowl Advertisements PodCast (no longer a valid link) or by going to iTunes and doing a search for that term in the podcast menu.
If you don’t “do” the iPod thing yet, it’s ok, you can still see your Superbowl Ads here: www.iFilms.com (just search for Superbowl ads — and spell it with only one “d”) *grin* You can also spend hours on the iFilms site just enjoying yourself — so you stand warned.
You guys probably like the Jessica Simpson take-off on the “These Boots” for Pizza Hut. Personally, I prefer the Miss Piggie version. Love the Fabio ad too. LOL. And the ad for the mobile phone with a personal defense system that I saw while at iFilms left me cackling. My son says it’s just plain violent. I find it more than slightly amusing. :O)
There, now you know.
Romancing the Search Engines: Small Changes Make a Dramatic Difference
People may not like change, but search engines love it! In fact, many SEs handsomely reward dynamic content, as witnessed by the popularity of the SEO darling: the blog. MSN and Google, in particular, are enamored with websites that provide constantly changing content.
But, if you don’t want to blog, how can you take advantage of this SEO fact? By carefully describing your latest listings! Want to leverage your listings for improved search engine rankings? Continue reading
George’s Goons Go After Google…
(… and request a “Full Monty” under the guise of protecting youth)
You gotta love it… the Bush administration is making another full frontal attack (pun intended) on American’s privacy — this time under the guise of protecting children from porn. The “federal government is trying to force Google to reveal all searches conducted in a one-week period, as well as records for 1 million Web addresses” according to an article released today by MediaPost.com.In a Search Engine Watch blog article, Google was the only one in the big four (AOL, Yahoo! and MSN) that said NO! The other search engines agreed to hand over the information. Continue reading
How Do I Create Rollover Alt Tags for Mozilla’s FireFox Browser?
As a Foxfire convert, I only open IE when I must — and I usually begrudge any website that requires me to change from Firefox to IE.
With that said, I’ve also missed the opportunity to see the alt tags with a mouse “rollover” on websites using Firefox. To see the alt tags on most sites when using my FireFox browser, I have to right click on an image and select “properties” to see the alt tag text.
But, today, I tripped across a design approach that will fix this problem. Adding a title tag to the alt tag will create a mouseover text for FireFox. If you want to add this to your own website to invite in the FireFox crowd… add the following code (using your own jpg name, title and alt tags, of course!):
