Clicksor has a blog.

And they're not just posting about Clicksor, they're trying to make it useful to the general webmaster.

They've got a two post article on the Top 10 Mistakes Made by Webmasters. They posted Part I here and then Part II at this URL Google has indexed but doesn't work. (The real Part II). Also, you can't get from Part I to Part II and vice-versa.

How's that for irony?
