Today I found and tested a new free link building tool - an alternative to Comment Kahuna. I found that Real Link Finder is as fast, and at least as accurate. It asks you to set a minimum number of blog comments on each blog, which means that it's more likely to find blogs that haven't implemented 'nofollow' - and less likely to find false positives. An initial negative point is that you can't filter by pagerank, but to keep to a natural looking link campaign, you will need to get backlinks from pages of all PR values, so it's not as important as some webmasters will have you believe.

Although I'm still a computer coding geek at heart, other commitments have taken over and I'm reducing the amount of time I am spending on web design projects.
I'm going to spend more time updating the blog than I have done in the past few months but am not taking on any new design projects.
Apologies if you've heard of the fantastic reputation and pricing of LittleFish Web Design, but you're going to have to find someone else.
There are plenty of tips in this blog about what to look for in a web designer, or for websites in general, so you shouldn't be caught unawares.
