According to this article urchin is now a free part of the growing webservices that google offers to adwords users. But - you don’t have to be an adwords user to gain access and use this tool.

Tim O’rielly posted an excellent description of what is Web 2.0, complete with a tired / wired esque list of prior and future net implementations. Required reading - go take a look.
Interesting enough, looking through many online marketing forums, many are complaining that their users “just don’t get it” when it comes to downloading acrobat documents or “ebooks”. The story goes that the customer reads the site copy, makes a buying decision and expects to receive a honest to goodness book. The support lines then clog up with “yes, I got your email with some attachment, but where’s my book?” banter, confusion ensues, then ultimately a chargeback.
As a visitor to MIT’s media lab, I loved Negropontes book being digital
(sidenote: I cannot believe that amazon classifies the paperback as vintage. 1996? Are we really that old?)
Pagerank and its relevance since google made its infamous 2003 flordia update is still a hotly debated topic.

I’ve gotten a few comments back - seems that my Debt Consolidation site http://curefordebt.com/ has been released from its google ban as of Sept. 3rd. The cached site is a godaddy placeholder page - which is interesting, since the wayback machine didn’t show that page cached nor did I register the domain there.

I believe one of my domains Debt Consolidation Help has a checkered past. The name looked good when I registered it, and I got it just after it expired. Only problem is, no matter how many backlinks I point to http://CureforDebt.com/ nothing ever appears in google.
