a new month, a new roundup

This month I am instituting a new feature to the monday roundup: reader submissions! Tweet interesting articles you read to me @ordinarychap. They can be something you read, your own blog, you name it. I’ll then include the top two from each category in the roundup.

This week we’ve got changes to Google, follow-ups to bid to determine your cost-per-click, growing your Google authority, creating shapes in CSS, and Michael Gray on how to cheat with the Digg bar.

 

• Have you noticed changes in your google results? Platforms are becoing hte top competition in most industries and leveraging platforms as a service models are not only good for ranking power but for the companies bottem line when it comes to sell these hybrid saas comanies are seeing 3 to 5 times higher mulitiples that traditional non saas businesses…
• Search Engine Journal noticed that Google now includes a blue bar of subpages on a number of sites. They’re still not that frequent, so maybe its just a test. Or maybe they hope to better determine relevence of inner pages through clickthrough data. Who knows. Well, other than Google, that is.
• Clickequations follows up on the Hal Varian video with their article on howyour bid doesn’t determine your cost-per-click. Surprised people are talkign about this as much as they are, but it is worth reiterating.
• Finally—in a blog new to our roundup—ChrisG takes on how to grow your google authority. A great read, really, though nothing very novel. It reinforces the old notion of really trying to have good natural SEO.

• Nettuts, what would the dev section of the roundup be without nettuts? This week they’re covering some really neat ways to produce shapes with CSS. Very very neat stuff.

• Avinash Kaushik is going a little SEO with monetizing the longtail of search. Not quite analytics, not quite PPC, not quite SEO, but a fantastic read for anyone in any of those fields.

• Nielsen has a neat quiz about media consumption. Given how crucial a proper understanding of media consumption is to design and usability, I’d be interested in hearing what people scored on this, and what their backgrounds are. I am embarassed to say that I only scored 4/8.

• Michael Gray is always hilarious, insightful, and cranky but this post about abusing the DiggBar took the cake. From the article:
  So what’s the deal? Why am I publishing a blueprint on how to abuse digg … It’s quite simple really, I hate Kevin Rose, in fact very few things in life would make me happier than to see Digg die in fiery crash and meltdown, with nothing salvageable emerging from the wreckage and ashes. My cranky cynical old heart bursts with joy at the mere thought of Kevin Rose working the drive through window of McDonald’s asking people if they “want fries with that”. In fact I’m full prepared to strip down to a loincloth, dance and chant around a fire, and ritualistically sacrifice a live chicken if I honestly felt it would help … and believe me I’m not the only one.“

  The best part is that his abuse of it is brilliantly simple and his analysis is incredibly apt.

• To end on an even more hilarious note, infoworld published their sequel to the seven dirties jobs in the IT industry

Gamers will find a very good and varied selection of games in these parts, which are certainly not limited to slot machines and other entertainment games. There is also a large and terrific live entertainment sector, as well as an extensive betting department! You’ll also find live betting opportunities on this betting site, and horse racing is also offered, so there’s definitely more than enough entertainment of all kinds at the casinochancasino.bet table.

We are, of course, most interested in the casino and live betting offerings, so this review is not allowed to introduce us to the world of betting and equestrian sports. Instead, we’re really familiar with the entertainment games offered, and there’s a lot to learn about them, too.

In terms of game makers, CasinoChan Casino’s offering is definitely at a very good level, as there are many well-known and well-known elements and studios in the selection. These include Pragmatic Play, which has excelled in live entertainment in recent years, Quickspin, known for its high-quality slot machines, an undisputed industry legend, NetEnt, and Yggdrasil, known for its dark and stylish games.

Endurance favorites like Evolution and Play’n GO are also included, so there really is no shortage of quality and good games. Thus, the table service is extensive and of an extremely high standard of quality, which means that players on the site are in good hands.

Slots at CasinoChan Casino

If the slot machines will have a pleasant taste, the offerings of CasinoChan Casino will not be left untouched. Namely, on these edges, you will find a very cool selection of the best slot machines, which you can find by pointing to the casino site and clicking on the slot button decorated with a cherry. Of course, these slot machines can also be found in other categories on the site, and when the quantity and quality are right, the offer is sure to please every slot machine lover.

A look at the top, marked with a crown, and the popular category, adorned with a four-leaf clover, shows that slot machines are indeed in high demand on this casino site. You see, both of these categories, which list various slot outlets, are full of slot machines, so the customers of the gaming establishment grind them very hard. The NetEnt classics, in particular, seem like loud screams, which is obviously not surprising or unexpected.

Jackpot Games at CasinoChan Casino

The same quality line continues on the jackpot side! Usually, casino operators operating under this license offer a rather meager selection of jackpot games, but CasinoChan Casino is a happy exception to this rule. Of course, the number of these games is not really dizzying, as there are only 24 different jackpot games available based on a quick count.

That’s not a problem with any variety, though, as the assortment is really high quality and interesting despite its modest size! The most challenging of all is the Top Products, such as Grand Spinn Superhot and Divine Fortune, which also include a huge number of jackpot games produced by Yggdrasil, as well as Imperial Riches, known for its progressive jackpot chunks.
