Here’s what this looks like on TheDeets.com: What I’m seeing: Visits via Internet Explorer [...]
Ryan Lyk has been pretty quiet on Minnesota Democrats Exposed lately. Apparently, his time has been taken up with Tweeting about watching and rating video games on YouTube: He recently found time to take a break from his video game watching and rating activities to act outraged about an algorithmically served ad on MNPublius. As [...]
I’m not saying that search engine traffic is important for advertising revenue. I’m just saying that it plays a significant role. In the case of this site, it accounts for around 80% of AdSense revenues. Your numbers may vary. For example, if your site is not search engine friendly, you’ll probably earn a larger percentage [...]

Update: Problem solved. As some of you know, I’ve been slowly working on a hobby startup in my spare time called Junk86 that’s designed to help people get off of print mailing lists in order to return their mailbox to something with a more sane signal to noise ratio. Sadly, we find ourselves living in [...]
Ninety nine times out of one hundred, when I receive unsolicited press releases via email from PR professionals, I respond with something like this: Unsubscribe. One quick word that is meant to communicate that I’m not interested in what they sent me, nor am I interested in receiving similar communications from them in the future. [...]

While Qwest Dex is fairly incompetent when it comes to maintaining (or, more likely, honoring) an opt-out list, it looks like their direct mail marketing team understands that it does no good to deliver marketing materials to people who are not interested in receiving them. For example, here is the response I received after contacting [...]
Here’s an example of a typical email I receive multiple times daily from social media experts on behalf of their clients. The company that sent this one says on their website that they, “track, measure and analyze everything – making sure our team delivers exactly the right message, authentically and transparently, to the right audience.” [...]
