How do you think Internet Brands is doing?

Everyone knows that Internet Brands a media company that primarily does their business over the Internet purchased Jelsoft a few months prior. Jelsoft is the company that created one of the most successful forum software available today called vBulletin and you most likely knew that, since we all love vBulletin.

vBulletin is about to enter the 3.7 release series and here at vBulletin Setup we’re wondering what everyone thinks about it. Do you like the new features, do you think these new features only came because of the buy out? Do you think the production cycle has taken to long for the product? Keep in mind its only been 5 months since the first beta was released to the public, if you need something to compare that to, Wordpress (popular blogging software) took almost 6 months to go from beta to public for their latest 2.5 release.

At any rate, we’d love to hear some feedback about how you think Internet Brands has done so far with vBulletin, so stop by our forums, and let us know your thoughts. If you already aren’t a forum member, the registration is free, and the community is great so there isn’t a reason not to!

How much money is Apple earning from Google?

John Gruber points out something that I must have seen a zillion times and never noticed: The deep integration of Google Search with the Mac OS X. He adds that this contextual menu command and ?the search is performed in Safari, regardless whether it?s your preferred browser or not.? Who knew? I wonder how big that ?referral revenue? check for Apple is every month?

To put it unscientifically: Apple gets a big fat whopper of a check. Back in June 2007, Gruber had estimated that Apple was bringing in $25 million a year mostly from the search box in the Safari browser. Nine months later, Apple has been on a tear, selling more computers than ever before and has seen an uptick in its market share. In addition, many millions of iPhones have been sold. Mobile Safari Browser generates ton of search traffic, not to mention boosting the map usage. This tight integration between Apple and Google must result in a big exchange of dollars.

What is your best guess? Scientific answers are preferred but I will settle for unscientific best guesse.

So aliens sucked out my brain

Which explains why i haven’t been able to think about anything to write about and the lack of good articles from myself.

I think i know when i happened. It was the night of April the 6th, I was sitting there in my chair getting ready to finish an article about why black hat SEO is bad, and then BOOM out of no where my brain and thoughts and everything were gone.

I’m slowly working on regaining my brain cells which should provide further articles for actual use on the front page. If this ever sees the light of day the site would probably lose all creditability as being full of good vBulletin people!

I did however buy a new video game which is why i think it’s totally blocked me from doing much of anything other then playing it. Lost Odyssey its pretty awesome, i play it a lot on my 360 yea.

Ok Mr aliens please give me back my brains!

Is Google the Internet? A Lesson In User Experience & SEO

Many people beleive that Google is the only thing that matters on the internet. They design their sites with only Google in mind and obtaining that top position for a highly searched keyword/phrase.
