Secondary Computer

I've bought an external harddrive. The biggest benefit of it is that I can attach it to my notebook computer and then work as if I am on my PC with all my software and everything. I don't know what I'd do without my laptop. Actulally, Sharon on our group got me onto notebooks.

I tried docking them, but I prefer to use an external harddrive. My outfit is 5 years old. I update my computer every 3 years, but I haven't updated my notebook. It is about time.

Write to Increase the Alexa Page

Web fans (who have the alexa toolbar installed) love to read about ways to increase traffic. If you review friend’s Alexa page, write about Alexa, and build a site that attracts alexa fans – then your alexa rank will increase. You will also help spread the ‘good rank’ tool that is Alexa.

Write for webmasters. If you write content for webmasters and exchange reviews with bloggers who use sites like SocialSpark where they most likely have the Alexa toolbar ( you can insist that you only exchange posts with sites that have the Alexa widget on the blog).

Write to an international audience. I have a large audience of women from India. Alexa toolbar is big in India, so these ordinary bloggers can increase my Alexa rank without trying.

Create an Alexa category on your blog. Even if the blog is a general ‘how to attract traffic’ or ‘how to improve your page rank’ then you can still call it Alexa News. This is a purely marketing move. Visitors from Google will not help your rank. Google doesn’t care how many people visit your site, how many RSS subscribers you have, or whether 10 people digg your blog posts a day.

In fact, even building links to please Google doesn’t guarantee that you’ll build a good page rank – so don’t cater to Google fans.

Participate in Foreign Alex sites

Asia uses Alexa. Getting on those sites, and reaching the top, will increase your rank even higher.

How to Increase Alexa Rank

Most people do not realize that Amazon owns Alexa. The Alexa rank is measured based on the amount of users who visit the blog or web site – but only if they have the Alexa toolbar on their browser.

As Google becomes an unreliable tool for measuring Page Rank – face it, every time the webmasters learn how to use the algorithm, Google changes the rules restoring the elite positions of their advertisers. A blog or website that doesn’t work within their parameters is penalized, benched, and has to start all over somewhere else.

This is giving Alexa and RealRank more importance in the small business world. Haven’t you noticed more and more of the Paid Post sites adding Alexa and IZEA’s Real Rank to their blog ranking systems? ReviewMe, Text Link Ads ,SocialSpark and Sponsored Reviews are just a few.
Question #1, will increasing Alexa Rank increase the number of people who a) have the toolbar b) visit your site from the Alexa traffic pool.

One thing that Alexa has in its favor is the fact that it calculates traffic on a three month basis. It also calculates the number of pages viewed as well as the number of visitors.

Your Internet Working Slow?

Are you paying for fast Internet service? Is it working as fast as it should? If not, then you need to visit this website http://www.firefold.com/Categories/HDMI-Products.aspx. You need good cables. All the cables in my system are gold coated. HDMI cables can make the difference between your computer speed to Internet and printer, fax, phone, working fast - or struggling. It can reduce the number of times a connection is dropped, downloads are interrupted, and you are left screaming in frustration.

If you are making a living on the net then you need good cables.

Making Money as a Pro Blogger

There has been a major change in the blogging world. Paid Posts are becoming more accepted as bloggers learn how to improve their blogs and networks. There are several different Paid Post ads. I have written reviews and posted on most of them, at least the ones I’ve found.

The problem with pro blogging is that it is a full time job. Pro Bloggers need to stay online.

Smorty normally posts jobs around 3am Eastern. Pay Per Post varies, but if you want to make money, then be online from 10am to 9pm Eastern. Loudlaunch has its own limitations and resources.

Low PageRank blogs need to work with a wide source of Paid Blog agencies. Many blogs rely on Google for their traffic. Others are built around Social Networks. Each has its benefits.

Meeting Google’s rules is hard, mainly because they keep changing the rules. The good news is, Alexa uses some of the same link building strategies combined with traffic reports. In my word, Alexa is more important than Google – unless you are foolish enough to trust Google for all your traffic.

One good reason to focus ‘off Google’ is the fact that even the pros find themselves working for months to get good traffic – only to have Google change the rules and they are dropped to the bottom – out of business – within days. Am I anti-Google? No. I just don’t believe a pro blogger should focus all their efforts on pleasing Google’s fickle rules.

Make Money on YouTube

No one touches the web without learning what YouTube is. Now they are testing a new program in Australia where contributors earn money in exchange for a banner being placed on the ad. This revenue sharing is designed to help contributors who create good content.

The program has been operating in the United States and United Kingdom for months. Some contributors are already earning thousands of dollars each month.

"It has certainly been an incentive for people to create more content," a YouTube Australia spokesman said.

"There are people overseas who have millions of video views and are earning thousands of dollars."

Many people have worked hard to become celebrities on YouTube. The secret to success is found in building a community and interacting with viewers.

Office Decorating

Has anyone considered wood blinds for their office? As I get older and my allergies start bothering me more, I have been looking for ways to decrease dust in the office. However, I read a recent report that states that wood blinds can also reduce my heating bills.

I like the look of wood, so that is no problem, and they are a lot cheaper than drapes. Of course, most members of this blog are in warmer clients so they probably have never priced 'lined' or thermal drops.

If you are a canadian blogger and have looked for blinds, then you might want to take a look. I am leaning toward the new honeycomb blinds.
