Ubiquity, a Firefox plugin enabling custom javascript commands usage, has updated to version 0.5 which features, among other changes, a new parser for the commands (a.k.a. Parser 2). This parser requires its own command syntax and due to that a lot of custom commands, including my SEO commands, got disabled.
I tried digging into the issue [...]
After the Alexa update post, I was wondering just how Alexa top sites data compares to its main competitors – Compete and Quantcast. What is the most reliable source of data about sites’ traffic? Should we just check all the 3 if we want an adequate picture? I checked and here’s what I have found [...]
Alexa, for all it’s worth, has just had a major update of their site. I guess they decided to cater more to those advertisers and media buyers who use Alexa data of sites as a measure for buying or selling online ad space and kinda try to catch up with Compete, Quantcast and other similar [...]

In the meantime, when have you last taken a look at it? Not [...]
I’ve been playing with Twitter lately and while many say (and I can’t help but agree) that Twitter is really a huge time waste I do find it handy when you need to reach people quickly – especially since a lot of people in the SEO industry seem to have replaced their email and IM [...]
So I finally caved in and decided I need to update myself more often on the industry news. I thought the easiest and computer-independent way to do it (since I use multiple computers over a day) would be to use Google Reader – especially since I can share the items I like on it.
For those [...]
Recently Jadehat has shown me a cool plugin for FireFox called Ubiquity (thank you Jadehat!) which I fell in love with immediately.
