If you are a frequent reader of my blog then you noticed that over the last months the mix of topics that I covered with my posts increased. Some might even got a bit disturbed by this.My blog was over the last few months “hijacked” by Internet and Search Engine Marketing related topics.

Visit my Blog at ReveNews.com and join the discussions.Cheers,Carsten aka Roy/SAC
