SocialSpark: How I Survived Google Spanking Me
As you’ve probably noticed by now, I often write content that is sponsored, and I am pretty open about disclosing such things. At the bottom of most sponsored content, you’ll notice a small blue bubble that will say “Sponsored by” and then the advertiser name. However, some folks didn’t take kindly to any of my…
Apologies to My Readers

Oops – We Let It Slip
Some of you may have noticed that over the weekend the site went down, possibly being replaced with another page or search engine.
