If you have a WordPress blog I’ve found a super simple plugin that I am declaring a must have. The Extreme SEO plugin by the SEO Link Network is probably one of the greatest bits of software I’ve found for anyone that wants to have their WordPress site discovered by all the major search engines.
What it does:
- Increase Search Engine Rankings by automatically generating highly targeted contextual links back to your posts. We use the tags and content you have already created for your posts to find the best related content to link your site to. All links are guaranteed to be one way, highly targeted, links back to your posts.
- Increase Your Site’s Visibility by providing content related links on thousands of independent sites with original content in The SEO Link Network. Links only appear on SEO Link Network posts that have direct relation to your content.
- Enhance Your Visitors Experience by providing them with links to other sites within the Network that contain information directly related to your posts. All links are opened in a new tab so that they never leave your site.
You can get the widget here. It allows you to enter a search query, along with a catchy title and a caption. Twitter provides a preview so you can customize it to fit your site. Once you have picked the perfect color and size you just click “Finish and grab code”. Paste the code into your site and it will continuously update with new tweets of the chosen search terms.

This is a serious outage impacting both consumers and venders alike. Authorize.net is used by hundreds of thousands of e-commerce business to process their online credit card and electronic check payments; this means that millions of transactions cannot be proccesed during this down time.
It’s unclear when the downtime started exactly, but the consensus is somewhere between 5 and 7 hours at this point (11 AM Eastern), with e-commerce vendors desperately looking for ways to contact the company or get any first-hand information about what’s going on and when the problems will be resolved. Twitter, meanwhile, is buzzing with the news as the United States wakes up.

The Facebook app for the iPhone is pretty good but lacks many simple features available on the web version. Joe Hewitt, co-founder of Facebook, posted what the upcoming Facebook 3.0 iPhone app will include. I’m excited to finally be able to view “Pages” and notifications being linked to comments so it’s easier to reply. Here is a full list of what is coming in the 3.0 update.
Hewitt says that he is about 98% finished with the app; he should be submitting it to Apple for approval soon.
According to Hewitt, everyone is asking for push notifications, but they will not be implimented in this 3.0 update, more likely a 3.1 update later this summer. I’m not sure if I would want push notifications with Facebook. If so, I would want to have a lot of control as to what pops up on my iPhone. If every new comment or every time someone sent me a “keg” triggered a notification on my screen, I would never be able to get anything done on my iPhone.
