The search giant Microsoft has opened its doors for its msn advertising program adCenter. I signed up today to check out what all the talk was about and was pleasantly surprised.

It now seems that media bot is indexing content for the main Google index. Previously Google stated that this bot was designed to only pick up what ads where relevant to you website.

I was recently asked to design a new logo for Search.ie as you may know this site is maintained by Michele Neylon. The previous logo was also designed by me however I always found it lacking something. The rework was a fairly simple one, a crisp clean logo that had the same theme as the [...]
I was reading an interesting article on Michele Neylon’s blog regarding a company who are relying on 3rd parties to make changes to a website.
