OpenAds Testing: Help Me Out And Click That Banner

Date October 26, 2007

Are You Linking To Me?- Better Take Those Links Down!!!

Date October 24, 2007

Well, I am not surprised. Evidently Google has decided to punish me as well. At least this may be looked as a consolation to other bloggers out there. Noticed I said consolation not justification.
The drop in page rank from PR4 to PR2 is significant I would say. So am I a bad neighborhood? I wish [...]

Disappointing Third Time: WidgetSucks

Date October 23, 2007

I hate to disappoint a friend and a fellow blogger, but some bloggers will write more that twice on the subject. I wish I had it in me to approach every possible angle when writing first time on the subject. But when it comes to this WidgetBucks, there is also an element of being [...]
