Do I use the Hyphens or the underscore?

Filed under: Marketing, SEO, Small Business Marketing — Kyle M Brown @ 12:00 am

Updated on 6.11.2007 (corrected typo and inserted example) Should you use hyphens or the underscore for your online website’s file names, subdirectories or in your content? Examples: your-site.com/my-files.htm or your_site.com/my_files.htm

Searching without a query

Filed under: Google — Kyle M Brown @ 8:41 am

Google releases a search without query plug in for its toolbar. This feature allows you to press a button (that has a set of dice as an icon) on the browsers toolbar and will return random results based on past stored searches.

“You already know that search is at the core of everything we do: we want to deliver useful and relevant information every time you do a search. But what about when you don’t have a query in mind, or if you just don’t feel like typing in a query?”
