GiftedSeo.com was a service promoted in late 2010 / early 2011 as a way to track your website rankings over time.

Initially, it was not clear that it was getting these results itself. It appeared that it was instead using another service.

Then after a couple weeks it completely went down. Perhaps the service it was relying upon did not like the fact giftedseo.com was trying to piggyback upon its efforts.

Anyway, that and mysql errors have doomed this service.

From the outset it was questionable why this was a free service (i.e., whether it might be harvesting your keywords).

If you see it again just avoid it.

I often create files in Word (Word 2002 is the version I use) and then convert or print them to PDF. Works fine, except that hyperlinks are typically not converted.

Update: Found an even better service that is faster and gave me a perfect pdf with proper colors, fonts, page layout, and preserved all hyperlinks. (Trust me, this is hard to find). It is http://convert.neevia.com/pdfconvert

There is a free online service called FreePDFConvert.com which will do the conversion and preserve your hyperlinks for the PDF file.

This is a super timesaver. The last thing you want to do is manually add hyperlinks to your PDF file.

The only downside I have found is a limited font set. If you have fancy or special fonts the online conversion process will change them to a plain Arial or Times Roman type font.

I am constantly needing to display html code on a web page. Without actually executing the code. This is so someone can see what the code looks like.

There is an easy solution:

I use the form on this page:

To convert regular html code into something that will display but not execute.
