Just saw a preview article about a new mini surge protector with 3 AC outlets and 2 usb ports. Now this would be the sweetest schwag given out at conferences. Its only $25 bucks to boot.

Now hold on there, MWA! You MUST be a professional “link builder” to do any link exchanges AND charge a high hourly rate so your clients don’t work out a Monkey could do the same.

Matt – If I plug even more computer stuff into the same AC outlet at home will it boost my SERP’s at all?

Only if the outlet is PR4 or higher, so you’d better start link exchanging with other outlets in your house.

So Matt posts about AC adaptors and most repsonses are SEO and Spam Meltdown responses – yowsa

When posts about anything the responses are always the same. That is, “hey Matt I worked hard on my site and I should be page 1 for…..”

Hey we use those adaptors all the time in the UK – I use them in my home office as well.

I’ve been giving talks on SEO & RIA at the Adobe MAX conventions (Chicago and now Barcelona).

This will seem like a tangent, but you’ll see how it’s relevant.

A number of developers and myself agreed, in a pub in Chicago, that Internet access should be free. We see it as a utility. We decided to start a movement to provide “free” Internet access for traveling geeks by bringing wireless routers with us and opening up access.

The hotel I am now in charges 10 Euros per day!

At the Chicago convention, a number of us decided that one of us would pay (me, since it was my idea) and bring a wireless router to broadcast to everyone else.

Matt, you don’t have to post this URL, but the backfiring drama of how the plot unfolded is on my blog: http://serentripity.wordpress.com/2007/10/13/fuck-you-wireless-drama-unfolds/

The plot backfired for relevant reasons.

There needs to be some cool things like this in the Google Shop, available in European and UK varieties too.

Google Beer anyone?

Like the great idea for the plug adapters, I’d suggest adding a surgeprotector style fuse into them to avoid the overload situations described above…

I like the google branding of the adaptor. Too bad about the lawsuit they are going to hit you with Mwahahahahaha

Also a great pick up line. “Hey babe, can i share that socket with you? i have a real cool adaptor”

Hi Matt

A little late, but I’ve read Eric Enge’s interview (great interview – thanks) multiple times now to make sure I’m absolutely correct in my understabding of NoIndex, NoFollow etc.

This one causes me some bother:

Now, if you want to you can also add a NoFollow metatag, and that will say don’t show this page at all in Google’s Index, and don’t follow any outgoing links, and no PageRank flows from that page.

Can a page with a NoFollw metatag accumulate pagerank?

Thanks in advance,
Richard
