Dave Pasternack Ads

Well, the Dave Pasternack SEO contest is almost over (thankfully), and there are lots of great ads. One even made it to the "Bonus" above the organic listings. These are some of my favorites, with links for my real favorite ads.

Nice one. Truly enjoyable.



For top rank on Dave's
name, it's anybody's game. For
Insurance & Loans, It's SureHits

Sure... and for Toilet Paper it's The New York Times. This one wasn't really a fav, but wasn't as bad as a few that didn't make the list.

Dave says PPC is the way to go, but
I can rank high with quality SEO.

No way... you can rank high without spending money? Well, isn't that what the whole point of this contest was? SEO's wanted to prove they could outrank Dave for his name... so where's your site in the list?

I saw the paid review on wolf-howl, and it doesn't look too bad.

Very good ad, Todd. Interesting 404 at the URL listed, too. (I linked to the actual article in the ad above.)

Something tells me Boser might be behind this one. If so, very cool. If not, still very cool. I didn't see this one until I mentioned the ads to Oilman yesterday, which makes me even more suspicious that Boser's hand is in there.

Great idea. I'm gonna have to buy a 100 pack of the buttons for sure to take to SES. That would actually be quite funny. Almost as good as the white hat with white letters I got in San Jose... hidden text white hat... very ni-ice.

Jesus cry. Repent, PPC Myopians.

Uhmm... repent ye who has a PPC ad on Dave's name. (Hypocrites)



Overall, it's been fun to watch, especially with the top site of a week ago doing a 301 to a different site just to make an ethics statement.

Disclaimer : No PPC budgets were harmed in the making of this post. I didn't click on an ad, so some ads may actually go to different spots on the sites listed above, but I didn't care to spend their money.

Wal-Mart's pricing is different online

Image
As I was browsing Wal-Mart.com for a monitor today, I noticed they had one for less than most of the other online sites I usually check out. I decided that since this wasn't an "Online Only" listing that I'd head over and pick one up. I didn't have much trouble finding it in the store (they don't have much selection, so it's easy to spot it), then I went to the checkout. I was grabbing the one below: I wasn't thinking about it much as I approached the register, but when the lady scanned the box and it came up as $192, I wasn't pleased. $22.12 extra just for shopping in the store? That's not right. That's an extra 13%, plus I'll have to pay more in sales tax. For now, Wal-Mart is on that list that begins with the letter "S" once again. Not that they ever stray much from that list, but I've got another reason. Too bad my hometown doesn't have much else to choose from. I'll have to venture out after work one of these ...

My basic DAW

Image
Since I've been doing some recording, I thought it was time to show off my DAW setup. I have a Dell laptop as the heart of the system. It's got a hybrid drive (part solid state, part "traditional" magnetic drive) that seems to keep up quite well with most of what I do. For software, I typically use Reaper . I also have a Behringer headphone amp between the laptop and the mouse for when I have someone over that's doing their part since it works as a nice headphone splitter with individual volume controls. But the laptop itself doesn't really do all that much when it comes to recording. I have a Presonus Studio Channel in the top rack slot, an Alesis SampleRack for triggered drums, a Tascam US16x08 audio board for 16 channels in at a time, a Behringer UltraVoice vocal pre-amp, a Nady 8 channel mic pre, a power conditioner and my Line 6 Pod Pro. Most of the time, all I really need is my Tascam to get the recordings sounding pretty good. Couple that...

Yii multiple select dropdownlist with default values

So I was coding a form in Yii, and came across a situation where I had a value of 0111110 (no, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no) that I needed to pre-populate values in a multiple select drop down. This didn't seem like it should be that hard, but the Yii documentation lacked a bit there. The first step was to split out the string. $optionValues = str_split($model->variable); Now, we create a blank array to hold our options. $options = array(); Then, we go through those options and set selected on the ones that need selected. foreach ($optionValues as $optionKey=>$optionVal) {      if ($optionVal) {         $options[$optionKey] = array('selected' => 'selected');     } } Now, we render the drop down list. echo $form->dropDownList($model, 'variable', array('0' => 'Zero', '1' => 'One','2'=>'Two','3' => 'Three', '4' => 'Four', '5' =...
