Internet Corporation Listing Service Invoice – Fake Invoice Scam
A company named the Internet Corporation Listing Service (ICLS.net) continues to send out invoices in the USPS mail that are fake. The invoice they sent looks like the one I received above, which claims to be for $259 for a five year website search engine listing, from August 15, 2023 to August 15, 2028. the problem is that companies with websites (or even people such as myself) with domain names and websites should not pay for a search engine listing. Such a listing isn’t required that you pay, as the search engines such as Google and Bing actually will list your website for free. [Read more…]

Google Thinks I Posted Every Post 7 Hours Prior
I’ve been watching this interesting Google bug for over a year now. Turns out that Google thinks that I posted every single post 7 hours prior to when I post.

iWon.com and iWon Email Shutting Down
Do you remember the iWon.com website? It was a web portal that included a search engine, but you could “win” rewards and prizes for using their site, up to a certain number of times per day. The more you used the site the more you could win entries into the money that they were giving away each, and every day. A lot of people started using iWon Email years ago and still rely on iWon email to this day, but it’s going away starting on October 2, 2017.
I never really spent a whole lot of time on their site, but I remember having an iwon free account and at least entering something every so often. But I never really did win anything. Or maybe I did? I honestly don’t remember. As I recall, the IAC search (IAC owns iWon.com) was pretty much using another search engine’s results (I believe it’s was Google’s search results). [Read more…]
How Not to Redirect an Old Blog Post: Courtesy Microsoft
Well, here’s one that has got me scratching my head. Actually, I’m trying to decide if I should be scratching my head or doing a face-palm thing. An old post from Microsoft, which was a pretty important announcement, is being redirected to another URL. But wait, it actually doesn’t redirect. And then when you click the link that they tell you to, because it’s been moved to another location, you get another notice that you’ll be redirected to the new location. Oh wait, it doesn’t redirect you. Confused yet? You should be. [Read more…]
With Featured Snippets, Apparently Good Spelling Doesn’t Matter
All the rage nowadays amongst SEOs is about Google’s featured snippets that show up in the search results. It’s that coveted “rank zero” that everyone wants to get.

Submit URL to Google: New Form Implemented in Search Results
We all know by now that you don’t need to actually submit your URL to Google or “submit URL to Google”. Google’s crawlers typically are so good about crawling the web that you don’t need to tell them about a new URL or a new page. And, it’s been this way for years now.
