Working Smarter to Enjoy Google Favor

Recently I tried an unscientific experiment. I wrote three articles all targeting the same keywords. Although the keywords were the same, each article was unique, approaching the topic from a different angle. I then decided to place one article on Suite 101, one on HubPages and one on eHow.

The Not So Bad Newbie Mistake

When I first starting playing around with web design and creating websites, I utilized free article sites like Ezine Articles and Article Database for content. At first I wrote 100% of my content. Then I started adding free articles so the ratio switched to 50-50.

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.

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.

Complying with Google Privacy Policy Requirements

Whether you love or hate Google, they’re a necessary resource for anyone looking to make a couple of bucks off of their website or blog.  So, when Google says you must update your privacy policy prior to April 8, 2009, you must update your privacy policy.

Just a Google Thought

I look at the state of the economy and try to grasp how we got here.  It’s blamed on too much spending, not enough saving, bottoming out of the real estate market, etc., etc., etc.
