Alright things continue to get ridiculous. Websites out there promoting SEO and using Titles as the most important things for websites and blogs

Nonsense!

Since I didn’t have a specific enough site, I didn’t get good placement in search engines nor specific enough keyword ranking. Proof? My ads were sometimes not in line with what my blog was about.

My site was not found by the search engines nearly as often as they should’ve been. No one linked to my sites. It was too generalist to try to promote.

That was part my fault, and part the fault of engines out there that still don’t do their job well enough. Case in point, since I mentioned the word job twice now, there will probably now be an employment Google ad on my site.

The $64,000 Question is All About Quality and Value

What is your favorite blog worth? What is your personal blog worth? Why? What makes it valuable to you? What makes it unique? Why is it valuable?

These are all key questions, and I think the answer is very simple, and boils down to one thing. Since the Internet and sites like Google try to give us what we want and at any given moment, then the answer is: any site is worth it’s weight in gold if it has at least 80% of what we’re looking for.

The 2 Things Are…

1. Editing

2. Marketing and Promoting

What?

No, I’m not saying to NOT do them You should and you need to. You must. Edit or die. Promote or die. By all means. But, my point is this…

Create content! That is the prime objective, your number one priority. At least it should be.

After setting up your blog and configuring it, which took way too long for all of us, why now let another thing stand in the way from creating content?

I wanted to share with you an article for how to stay secure using Wordpress by using a plugin security scanner at the link below to see if your blog has any malicious code and has been compromised or not.  There way be no other way to tell.

Do not WAIT to check since various worms and malicious code may have been injected if you have not updated to at least Wordpress 2.8.4 if not Wordpress version 2.8.5 the most current version as of today.

Here is the link to get the Wordpress Exploit Scanner Plugin !

Wordpress 2.8.5 has been unleashed

I just updated to 2.8.4 yesterday and today updated to 2.8.5.  I know, what a drag – again – another WP update.

Don’t hate Wordpress for this.  This update is a good thing and fixes critical security features to protect against some newer Wordpress worm and a type of trackback vulnerability.

Take the time to do this.  It’s worth it, takes only seconds. Why risk everything without this vital security fix?

Stay Secure Online and update right now.  Read about the Wordpress 2.8.5 security update article for Wordpress Blogs.

You’re Special, But…

We fail to see others have a right to their own view and are just as apt to feel right as we do. Part of the problem is that we‘ve learned a lot of “you’re special” lecturing we’ve gotten at times, yet failed to hear the right conditions and caveats.

* Not you alone, everyone is special in their own way and view

* Don’t dwell on the things that you think make you special because you’re not superior

* Realize that you’re not the center of the universe i.e. the world doesn’t revolve around you

Is it right that Google has Yahoo and Bing Beat for PR?

Is it right that Google has Yahoo and Bing (formerly Search Live or MSN) is PageRank (PR) of 9 instead of PR 10 like it has itself?

No.  In my opinion this PR rating is not wrong.  Why?

Google owns its PR concept.  It could just as well make Bing and Yahoo PR 0 if it wanted to.  The fact that they’re PR 9 actually says Google is quite fair and objective.

Why and how did Google do it, and do it so well?

I think Vision is probably the right word, but I also think that the approach maintained the most simple yet most effective approach. So I came up with 3 reasons, with that in mind.

The 3 Reasons

Reason #1: They knew the timing of meeting a key demand, and they became the supply to meet that demand! People were tired of directory-based searches and the inadequacy of search engines that weren’t good enough or brought back trashy content, like AOL’s search tool.
