Weight PT2

I've talked about diet pills. There is another way to loose weight, exercise. I have been looking for fitness equipment that fits into my office. I want something that is close at hand so I don't feel like I am leaving my work.

I have started to take breaks lately after Sharon told me, and Mary came down with RSI last fall and still isn't back to work. I couldn't handle it if that happened to me.

Getting Started With Alexa Rank PT2

Step 5: Join Social groups such as Digital Point, Stumble upon, and technorati. These sites send visitors to your site, and build ‘inbound’ links. Do not limit yourself when building exposure. I’ve even used yahoo answers!

Step 6: Set your website as your homepage. Alexa is set to limit the number of requests it accepts from a website, per day. However, if you have a laptop, an office computer, a home PC, then the access count up. Do not set up FireFoxes ‘reload’ feature. This may seem like a good idea, but Alex is smart enough to stop that type of black hat SEO.

Step 7: Include the widget on your site. There’s no evidence that the Widget improves traffic ranking. It only informs Alexa that your site exsists and ensuring your inclusion in the Alexa service.

Step 8: Create sub domains instead of several domains on similar topics. Alexa will combine them into one page rank.

Getting Started With Alexa Rank Pt 1

Step one: You need to understand that Alexa rank is skewed towards blogs with a large techie audience. (Much the same way digg is) because the techies are the ones with the toolbars. If you want to increase your page rank, then you need to convince your blog members and RSS subscribers that the Alexa toolbar is an important download.

Is this a defect? Well, you can look at it two ways. If you can get these people reading your pages, then by default, your blog is considered to have good/original well-thought-out content.

Step 2: Get off Blogspot and wordpress.com. I’ve talked to several people who have moved blogs off the community blog platforms and watched their daily traffic trends increase from somewhere in the millions to less than 100 000 within two or three months.

This is not a guarantee. www.inspiredauthor.com has more than 350 000 hits a month, more than 10 000 pages on line, is pinged daily, has 150 members who blog, has PR4, and is not in the top 100 000 at the moment. But then, it is not a site that techies would be interested.

Step 3: Consider buying traffic to get started. This will bring visitors to your site, help you determine what the best topics to write about are, and increase your rank. If you make the perfect match (read more on how to make the most of traffic buying and revenue generating in the web promotion section of this blog)

Step 4: Download the Toolbar

Home Entertainment

You've invested in a home theater, but have you thought ofhome theater seating. I took a look at these and thought they'd be great. First, they will be easy to keep clean. They are built so that you can vacuum all the corners. They can also be washed with detergent.


The main reason I hate television rooms is that they get so dirty. Everyone eats while they are watching movies. Drinks are spilled. Garbage is left behind. That is the reason I'd be interested in theater seating.

Starting a New Biz

My daughter in law is starting a new online biz. She has been learning and reading for a few weeks and is ready to get started. It is so much easier to get started now than when we started in the blogging world 2 - 3 years ago. It is amazing how the Internet world has evolved over the last few years.

All bloggers evolve. I've evolved mainly due to the fact that my websites have grown. www.inspiredauthor.com now has 17 million page views a year. It takes a lot more to manage now. I did help my daughter in law avoid one mistake I made. She didn't start on a small site first. I had her start on something that can grow.

Why You Need the Alexa Toolbar on FireFox

At this time I have not tried IE, just Firefox. Download Here:

http://www.quirk.biz/searchstatus/


This tool will give you Google, Alex, and Complete rank. It offers a far more accurate image than Google does.

For example. http://www.healthafter40.blogpsot.com/ has dropped from PR4 to PR0 in the last 3 months. However, it has increased 75% on the Alexa rank an increase of more than 1 million. It is currently around 2 million in ranking, getting about 5000 hits in 3 months. This is not good traffic, but it does show that (unlike Google) the website has increased in popularity, hits, and repeat traffic.

After downloading the toolbar, go to the bottom right of the browser. Click the Alexandria bar.

Now you can see all the stats on page rank and information that you could possibly want to see.

For example, I found that 33% of my readers are from the UK, and I have a large percentage of visitors 15% from India. This will have a dramatic effect on how I write to my customers.

I clicked incoming link and it opened up the tabs to show my incoming links from different browsers. For example, I have 1098 that Google recognizes, and 1973 that Yahoo recognizes. I also know that my rank is 1 398 600 . I don’t have far before I start ranking high enough to make better money as a blogger.

Just owning the Alexa toolbar will increase the Alexa rank of the websites you visit. It might be a good idea to post that you have the Alexa toolbar. If you visit a site and increase their rank, they ‘may’ return the favor. At least, if you are working with a group of professionals who want to increase their page rank then they must all have the alexa toolbar.

Adding the Alexa widget to your website is vital for attracting new members to your website.
The last benefit is that you can see a webpage’s Google PageRank, and Alexa’s Page rank.

Weight

Did you gain weight last winter? Most work at home people gain weight over the winter. I've had a couple people tell me that I need exercise. I had my doctor tell me to lose weight. There is always lipovox but I've never used diet pills before. I'm wondering if it isn't time to get started.

I know a lot of the younger generation use them, but I don't know anyone who does, or if they did - they are not saying. I have heard that the new ones are much safer than the old ones, I just don't know if they are right for someone who works at home all the time.
