Before I go into DoFollow and [...]

I was wondering what I did wrong, but then I realized, it wasn’t me, it was Google.
I’ve noticed that my AdSense earnings across the board have dropped quite a bit since last November. Part of the reason for the drop is that the traffic to one of my sites has dropped by about 50% [...]

Using Google Analytics

I’m sooo confused.
Some time ago I added Google Analytics code on a few of my sites to get a better feel statistically on how they’re actually doing.  Being the statistic watcher that I am, I thought “What the heck.  It couldn’t hurt.”  Well, no I don’t think it hurts, but it does confuse.

What is Alexa and Why Should I Care?

There appears to be two rating systems that have clout on the internet.  There are probably more, but these two keep popping up every time I look at revenue generating sources.  They are Google page rank and Alexa ranking.
