I got a letter from Virgin Media this morning telling me that they were putting up my monthly bill by £4.89. Apparently, this increase in charges allows them to continue providing their “amazing service” which has only let me down a handful of times this year.
Price rises are […]
My exposure to Semalt is pretty much limited to filtering their crawlers from websites and removing their referrer from Analytics so my data isn’t being uselessly polluted with visits that never happened.

We had @searchmartin‘s theory about Interflora overdoing the guest post / […]
It’s sometimes difficult to fathom out just how much the world has changed in the last 10 years. The web is ubiquitous. Our computers are no longer a beige box hidden away in the corner, they’re in our hands, our pockets, and our TV sets. Everything is […]
