Keep track of your page rank with Smart Page Rank

February 14, 2007 by Tricia

I just visited Smart PageRank.com and I’m quite impressed with all of the data that it gave me for my site when I typed in this sites URL.

It gave me my page rank with and without the WWW before the domain name, my current Alexa rank, backlinks, and DMOZ links all for free. You can even include a mini button that shows your current page rank.

I don’t know if all of my readers understand what page rank is or if you keep up with the changes made to your page rank by Google, but it is an important rank. The higher your Page rank, it usually means the more popular your site is since Google determines page rank by how many other sites link to your pages.

Page rank and all of my other ratings are very important to me since I use advertising on this site. The higher my ranks are in the various categories the better I do with advertising – both in paid posts and any advertising that I use in my sidebars.

If you would like to discover what the stats and page rank for your site is, simply go to SmartPageRank.com and type in your url. The results were almost instant. You can even register with the site and get an email from them whenever your Page Rank is updated.

My friend Jordan

February 13, 2007 by Tricia

I seem to have made a new friend last week.

Jordan and his boat I was checking my email and I read a note from Jordan that said he’d found my blog interesting and inspiring. Wow. That was interesting to hear so I kept reading. Then he said “living on the end of the world ” he’d noticed my existence and would be pleased if I’d notice his.

He had included a beautiful photograph of, I assume, himself sitting near a kayak I believe, on an outcrop above what appears to be the ocean. Jordan had included two links to his sites, MJL Photography and a site that I’ll simply call happiness, both being photography related so I naturally assumed that he’d discovered my photoblog. He was hoping that we might exchange links.

I wrote back thanking him for his note, and complimented him on his gorgeous photos that I’d discovered on his two sites. You really must visit his websites, his photography skills are amazing and the photos within are jaw droppingly lovely.

This man needs to be promoted and should be earning some money with his photography. That’s truly how talented I think he is.

Much to my surprise I soon discovered that it was this blog that he’d enjoyed and found inspiring. We’ve been corresponding ever since and I believe he’s sent me at least two photo’s each day.

I’ve enjoyed each and everyone of his photos. I love landscape photography, and almost anything natural and the majority of the photos that he’s sent have fallen into those categories.

I believe that many of his photos are from his home Country of Poland. I never would have imagined that Poland was so lovely but it most obviously is quite a pretty place.

Jordan has been very kind and has given me permission to share some of his photography with you. All of the photos that I’ve included in this post were taken by Jordan and of course are his property. Please do not copy them for your own use without asking his permission first – please visit his website if you wish to speak with him. Actually I think anyone who enjoys photography or looking at beautiful photos should visit his site. Please do tell him that Tricia sent you if you visit.

From time to time I may include one of Jordan’s photos in my posts. They are just so beautiful. I want to show them off for him.

I hope that you’ve enjoyed Jordan’s Photos.

Xianz Watch – a new family friendly online video service

February 12, 2007 by Tricia

A new site called Xianz Watch has just launched.

This new video site is a safe alternative to YouTube in that, just like Youtube, it allows it’s members to view, upload and share videos, but with a nice twist. What you’ll find on Xianz is family friendly videos.

Xianz supports over 20 different video formats which should make uploading new videos a snap. There’s also a video messaging system that will allow members to communicate with each other and mark one another as buddies. There are already 100’s of videos on the site and by the end of February they expect to have several thousand videos for their members to view.

Xianz.com’s membership is growing daily, and it’s currently the largest Christian Social network in the world.

If you’re tired of repeatedly running into offensive material on the other video based sites, or logging in to find offensive messages on your account, switch over to this new family friendly alternative. I’m sure you’ll be pleased.

Work from home site has current listings to help you make money

February 12, 2007 by Tricia

As many of you know I’m pretty much working from home while I wait out my illness and hope to get well enough to return to work sometime in the future.

As a result of being dependent upon a “Work from Home” income I’ve been keeping an eye on any new opportunities, or sites that have information that can lead me towards better, and easier ways of making money from home.

That’s one reason why I wanted to take to you today about a new site that I’ve only just discovered called “Work From Home Facts”. Upon visiting the site you feel like the writer is talking to you. It had a warmth and openness to the site right from the first couple of paragraphs, unlike a site like therichjerk.com which did not appeal to me as much simply because of the style of writing.

The Work from Home Facts site is laid out in an easy to use manner. The left sidebar has listings for various categories of work one can do at home- from Home Employment (freelance writing etc), paid surveys, creating a home business, or writing articles for pay. There is a wide assortment of ideas, helpful tips and even listings to help you get started in the many work at home opportunities that are available. The site also promotes a couple of E-books that will teach you how to increase your earnings on the internet, but unlike many of the other work from home or make money on the internet sites that are out there these days, “Work from Home Facts” truly seems to try to help you get started.

I’ve bookmarked this site and I’m sure it will be one of the sites that I visit regularly for ideas, and to see what new work from home opportunities might be available to me.

I know that many of my readers are also interested in making some money while blogging or maintaining a website. Please visit the site and let me know what you think of it as well.

A site that’s just Neatorama

January 30, 2007 by Tricia

Early yesterday morning Anita from Say no to Crack introduced me to a great site. It’s called Neatorama. It looks like it would be a great site to visit daily.

When I visited the site I found a lot of interesting pictures, funny photos and stories, stories of the strange, and some cool gadgets too. I know that I’m going to be visiting the site regularly from now on. It’s great.
