Regarding the grocery stores... Layout changes from time to time, often in subtle ways such as (locally, this happened several months ago) the chilled juices being swapped with the chilled raw meats. They were back-to-back, in adjacent aisles. However, this would cause people to have to go searching for these relatively highly sought products.

This, in turn, would lead them past special offers and other 'impulse purchase' shelves. It keeps people in the store for longer, which may lead them to spend more money.

I don't believe it's in a grocery stores interests to get people in and out as soon as possible, so don't expect their cooperation ;)

Off Topic also: google still count them as backlinks, but do not pass on Pagerank juice. They might still count them as a small factor in website rankings.

Irish mobile operators(specifically 3) just began to introduce 'all you can eat', or unlimited, data plans.

As I understand it, the AUP is limited to 1TB per month - more than my residential 500GB cable cap. I know several people who tether their laptops and phones, to use it in their own homes.

Personally, I use less than 100MB mobile data a month, but I also don't use a conventional (Android, iOS) smartphone any more. I went dumb ;)

Instrumental music, like Pelican, God Is An Astronaut, Japanese Telecom and some Classical music for coding.

Graze.com aren't really competition to this - same idea, different niche.

This seems to be more directed to people who like sweets and snacks, while graze.com is centered around heath food.

I've generally seen it been called white-hat. In my (limited) experience, black-hat is generally used to reference automatic link building, content spinning etc., while white-hat to reference link building through other means that Google will(or can) not automatically penalize.

No, black hat would be more comment backlink blasts and such, using tools like scrapebox.

I think it's called "white hat" more so than "black hat" because it's usually "safe" to do so. i.e., Google will not be able to automatically detect these links which are against their terms of service to penalize them.

Very common, link purchasing is a widely-used 'white hat' SEO practice.

Is there a way to block the page before loading? I see a (long) flash of the webpage before the block screen appears in chromium 11.0.696.68 (84545) Ubuntu 10.04

Otherwise, I like this plugin. I used to block websites via /etc/hosts, but it gets annoying having to jump into sudo and edit the file on my lunch, and sometimes, I forget to reenable it.

Like now.
