Well I opened my website this evening and said to myself, egh as I cringed at all of the gif offer images popping up along the right side. Is this what I’ve come to? There were a few online services I personally use from which I had set up affiliate accounts. I enjoyed these services and the idea of making a few extra bucks here and there but to be honest, the sidebar was getting to be just a little too much. So on that token I decided to take everything off except a single adsense bar along the sidebar. I may even take that one down a notch from a large vertical adsense to a smaller block.

After making the changes I now feel a little more comfortable about the over all presence of this page and am looking forward to writing more articles about marketing, seo and online business. The overall design is also a bit out-dated (maybe an understatement).

At some point I will probably hold a template design contest for some type cash gift. If this is something you would be interested please leave a comment about your interest and what the prize should be. If I get enough people interested, I’ll definitely set the contest up.

Halfway through the week!

All the search engineers keep stressing “content is key” to site owners. I’ve always noticed the longer I can get a visitor to stay on my website, the higher in the ranks, for that website, tends to climb. When you check out your page on Alexa it shows you an average amount of pages your visitor will click through. Now if Alexa has a formula I figure the top search engines have one also. So is Google going to give rank to a page that visitors click through twice before leaving compared to a site the visitors click through several times? Hell no! That’s just bad business. How about your visitor’s time spent on each page? Let’s say…
