If you’ve got a blog yourself and you’re all signed up with My Blog Log, be sure to get yourself over to the The Pisstakers tomorrow for MBL sunday. Ed the editor will be taking snapshots of the recent ten vistitors, then visiting those sites and doing a mini review on each one.
This is evil link love genius at its best.
The site that sends The Pisstakers the most traffic will win a full review, free info on keywords, taglines and market research about your “blog feel”, and… wait for it… a free bag of gummy bears.
Add the new flood of traffic and the rise in Technorati ranking into the equation, and it doesn’t get much better than that, does it?
Also, be sure to have a good browse while you’re there. The Pisstakers are definitely one of the funniest blogs out there, and always write funny stuff about tech and news stories.

I’ve just added a shoutbox in the right hand column under the “recent comments”. Shoutboxes can be useful for those who just want to post a quick message or to interact with other visitors.
I used Shoutmix, a very useful and easy tool to use. You have complete customisation over colours, fonts and sizes, and can set it up within a few minutes.
A lot of the make your own shoutbox sites I came across were quite limited in their building tools and emphasized too much on those damn smileys. I’m not sure whether I’ll keep the shoutbox on yet. I just thought I’d test what sort of response it gets.

I prefer rugby myself. American football’s for poofs.
You wouldn’t catch us wearing all that padding in rugby.

It took our scammer ten days to reply to my last email. I was actually starting to believe his “terminal illness” had caught up with him. More likely I stumped him by asking too soon how much it would cost me to release the $10 million.
I sent him an email a few days ago saying I hope he hadn’t died. Here’s the original one I sent ten days ago:
Dear Alhassan
Your emails reinforce my beliefs in the kindness, bravery and spirit of humankind… I’m sure your good deeds will earn you an honourable seat in God’s kingdom.
I asked in my last email how much it will cost to release the funds? Am I expected to pay this myself? I’m just a little unsure how exactly this is expected to work. I hope you understand my concerns and still believe in me to be a trustworthy beneficiary. Once I understand fully my role in this I will happily forward my address, phone/fax number so we can proceed quickly.
My prayers are with you.
Regards
******
And his reply:

Well, he didn’t answer my question regarding how much it’s going to cost me to release the funds. He seems very keen to get my address and phone number.
I’m getting bored with this idiot already. His emails are obvious templates written up well beforehand, and really bare no resemblance to my questions.
Here’s my reply:
Hi Assalam
Thank God you haven’t croaked it yet.
As I said before, I am willing to only take 5%. This is more than enough for me. The rest can go to the charities. Please tell me how much I have to pay for the money to be released, and you can forward me this money so as I can pay it immediately. I understand this correctly, yes. You can forward me this via western union.
I look forwarding to hearing from you soon. Please try to email me more quickly than last time as I am on a rather tight schedule now with other charity work
Regards

A lot of the Google ads that keep popping up on the site are aimed at addicts of some sort.
Ready to quit drinking?
Private rehab center
Addiction recovery
Secrets to stop addiction
Is the only keyword the adsense programme can find on the site “high”? I’ll banish them to the competetive ad filter. The last thing folks need when stumbling through here looking for a high is people telling them they can get help.
