Washington Post Selling Text Links?
Steve Rubel reported that the Washington Post launched a sponsored blogroll
product that allows people to pay to be listed in the blogroll. You can see it
live on the right hand bottom portion of the WashingtonPost.com web site. I

used for paid links. However, it is using some sort of JavaScript tracking

suspect). I personally have yet to implement Google Checkout on any site, so I

Data Refresh: More Supplemental Results?
Wednesday night, Thursday morning, forum threads starting popping up about a
Google “data refresh” taking place. A data refresh is like a small Google
update, and many webmasters have noticed a change in the search results at
Google. Google has not yet confirmed that there has been an update, nor has

data refresh seems to have put many pages into the supplemental index, an
index that no webmaster…
