Accident of the day

I was clearing out some of the databases on my server and i accidently deleted a very major one that held about 400 users info on it.  WHOOPS.

 Thank God for backups!

 This thing does everything short of tying my sshoe laces.

It’s massive though, 7mb, so hopefully the upload will be done soon 

adsense revisited

A fellow blogger from bloggerforum.com said he’s making about $33 a day from Google’s Adsense.  This insane but what makes it better is he uses WordPress and the basic theme.

 Gotta Love WordPress!

Adsense Tips

Some pretty good tips on using AdSense in your blog come from SelfSEO, like this:

Internet users are “trained” to look in certain locations and ignore things that are outside of thier narrow scope of vision. People can look to the sides for information, but the propensity for them to click your ads becomes significantly lower. By putting ads directly “in thier face”, you have a greater chance they will click it.

Here’s a few more tips:

I use a white background instead of a color background.

I remove the border on adsense so it does not look like an ad and make sure it matches the background.

I keep the Title and the Hyperlink “Blue”.

I keep Adsense “above the fold”, so they are the “FIRST” things that people see when they arrive at the site.

I try to keep the ads “left” aligned.

I use the 160X600 vertical for people to see when they move vertically down the website page.

I try to place images near the google ads. Images draw the eyes near the ads.

I keep the site concise, clean and focused.

Google raising ranking bar

Several times a year Google goes through some major tinkering with the algorithms it uses to rank Web sites. These major changes are different from the close to monthly changes you will see in positioning of sites. Around a year ago there was a very major change that dropped most sites by at least one notch. That is, from 6 to 5 –or whatever. The most recent change was almost as dramatic.

In the past few PageRank updates it has become quite apparent that Google is continuously raising the bar on PageRank. In their defense, with all of the reciprocal link building, link renting, etc. going on this was a natural reaction to the growing number high PageRank sites that attained those ranks simply by building or buying hundreds and thousands of links. –[url=http://www.searchenginejournal.com/index.php?p=1913]Search Engine Journal[/url]

Invite to Worldwide blogging fest

I guess it’s still hush hush but i got an invite to a worldwide blogging fest in Cali.  Unfortunately i’m still a college student so going is out of the question but the invite was cool.

Blog posts double

Technorati stats are showing that the number of blogs posted are doubling.

Posting volume has doubled this year alone – between January and August, in part due to the growing number of mainstream blogging tools such as MSN Spaces, AOL Journals, Blogger, and LiveJournal. At the end of July, about 37,500 posts were being created every hour.

Posting volume is likely a better measure of blog activity than the number of blogs being created, and a better indicator of whether blogging is just a fad or a sustained activity. -MarketingVox

Hands

It Depends on Whose Hands It Is In

A basketball in my hands is worth about $19
A basketball in Michael Jordan’s hands is worth about $33 million
It depends whose hands it’s in

A baseball in my hands is worth about $6
A baseball in Mark Mcquire’s hands is worth $19 million
It depends whose hands it’s in

A tennis racket is useless in my hands
A tennis racket in Pete Sampras’ hands is a Wimbledon Championship
It depends whose hands it’s in

A rod in my hands will keep away a wild animal
A rod in Moses’ hands will part the mighty sea
It depends whose hands it’s in

A sling shot in my hands is a kid’s toy
A sling shot in David’s hand is a mighty weapon…
It depends whose hands it’s in

Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in my hands is a couple of fish sandwiches…
Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in God’s hands will feed thousands
It depends whose hands it’s in

Nails in my hands might produce a birdhouse
Nails in Jesus Christ’s hands will produce salvation for the entire world
It depends whose hands it’s in

As you see now it depends whose hands it’s in.
So put your concerns, your worries, your fears, your hopes, your
dreams, your families and your relationships in God’s hands because
It depends whose hands it’s in…

God is here

from vivalablog.com

Did you know that “seperation of church and state� can’t be found in the Constitution, Declaration of Independance, or even the Bill of Rights? In fact seperation of church and state was only mentioned in a letter by James Madison about how our government shouldn’t be founded behind a single church like England. But in fact he supported all variations of Christianity to be accepted.

I love that our country was founded on the shoulders of God. Abraham Lincoln…former President…supported God ruling our nation as did Benjamin Franklin and so many other creators of “America.� Yet today we are forced to live under the rule of people that don’t believe in the constitution or Bill of Rights…what happened to this place? Sure we have a degree of Freedom but are we really free? We don’t allow God to rule anymore so is it really free?

no
