Notes to write about

An IP address was showing up in the search, turned out to be a mirror that I don't really use, but it's used for image serving. Simply added robots.txt to remove it. Also emailed someone else to remove a copy of the page.

I applied to the google ad program, for http://counter.bloke.com/ - I was rejected :(. There is not a whole lot of stuff on the site. It's just a counter, so it's not likely to have much content. Well anyway, now my PR dropped from 7 to 4. Coincidence? I hope so. Sigh, and so it did also for Flamingtext.com.

I did this search: http://www.google.com/search?q=cameron+gregory+swish+bonnell+guistuff&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&filter=0 which looks for "cameron gregory swish bonnell" which are some specific keywords that should only be found together on our page. We got 10 results ... all copies of our page. The results are here

BonnellTech.com was doing a meta refresh in the header: It had: ] 

<HTML>

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="0; url=http://www.flamingtext.com/">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<p>
If your browser does not automatically redirect you in a few seconds, please
