Yes thats him trying to kill himself instead of making sites as usual…. who says spams gone boring?

Well I have been busy as ever, this time wrestling with OsCommerce for my wifes online business….

By default good old OsCommerce likes to present itself in the non www. way but my change to the urls means i have em all as www. now.

So a simple rewrite later and we are good to go… except the fucking admin section now doesnt work, i hate rewrites…

OK here is the code (pop it in your .htaccess file in the root of the domain.) for anyone who wants to make sure their oscommerce store only shows as www.domain.com pages and not domain.com and so you can still use the admin section…

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.somedomain\.co\.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.somedomain.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteBase /admin/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.somedomain\.co\.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://somedomain.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]

Also remember to tell Google via webmaster tools that you want then to only use the www. pages..

If you havent already go get Adlogger (http://www.adlogger.org) – its a free open source tool for tracking your Adsense clicks and supposedly helping prevent click fraud.

One neat feature is that in many cases it records the destination url of the advert your visitor clicked on

Now this is where it gets interesting Say you are the type of person who….. Read more over at affearners!

I expect that the whiole world couldnt give a flying fook where I am but for Esrun and Pilky…

I am tooo damn busy to do any posting, what with Affearners and client work im up to my eyes in it.

Well me old mate Esrun has finally come out of blog retirement so I would like to suggest everyone flocks back to one of Matt Cutts (Who?) favourite Blackhat blogs.

Also whilst you are there check out the post on scraping Google without tripping their hey your either a bot or a complete spamming wanker….. guess which we are? – your right Both!
