PageRank? Alexa?
Posted on January 27th, 2008 @ 11:37 am

I wish there was a fair way to rank sites outside of Google PageRank and Alexa. If you try to make money off of your site Google punishes you. Why? Yahoo needs to come out with something. I know Google and Yahoo are always flipping back and forth for the number one spot. Right now Yahoo’s PageRank and Alexa is higher than Google’s. I love Yahoo. I love Google too. I can honestly say that I use Yahoo Search more than Google’s because I think it’s more user friendly. I also like going to the front page and reading the stuff they have up there. Most of the time it’s interesting. I love Gmail and Google Reader. I love Yahoo Messenger and Flickr. Both companies have great things to offer. Yahoo has been around for a little while longer but it seems like people talk about Google more. As long as I’m able to get what I need from them they’re both cool in my book.

I just think it would be interesting if Yahoo came out with a PageRank system. I also think it would be fairer. Yahoo doesn’t have a big ad campaign and you don’t see them bringing in the money from bloggers and site owners. They might actually let us make money with our site and rank us at the same time.

I’m happy with all of my sites at the moment. I hardly ever feel that way. I have 4 sites and I’m not one to keep the themes and whatnot fresh but I’ve actually been doing it lately. I feel like my sites are doing well and instead of being awarded for that, I’m being punished. I also could use any extra earnings given my financial situation.

Movie Posters
Posted on January 27th, 2008 @ 10:50 am

I worked at a video store for a lot of years so of course I’ve seen so many movie posters come and go. Out of my time being there I only took one poster and that was the Fantastic 4 poster. I really wanted the Happy Feet and Dreamgirls posters but of course those two movies came out when the company went on a movie poster hiatus. The posters at my store were cool because they’re usually taller than I am. But realistically what am I going to do with a poster that big? Stick it up on my wall? Yeah…right! I did find a site with some cool original movie posters. I’m going to check it out and see if they have some of the posters I’ve been dying to get.

Migraines
Posted on January 27th, 2008 @ 10:44 am

I’ve suffered from migraines since I was a small child. The doctors haven’t been able to figure out the cause. At first they thought it was because I needed glasses, and that did help…my vision but I still came home with headaches. My migraines were terrible about 3 years ago. They’ve finally settled down. I still have a migraine every now and again but not as often as I used to.

Selling Your Business?
Posted on January 27th, 2008 @ 10:40 am

I often forget that people who own small businesses have the option of selling their business. You may have buyers if your business is successful and brings in a lot of money. I just figure why would you want to sell your business if it’s doing good? I guess you can get out while you can. Some people look forward to retiring and spending time with their families so why not sell your business when it’s in its prime? You should contact a Business valuation consultant before you make any deals so you can see what your business is really worth. Who knows, maybe you can sell it for more than you thought you could!

I Want An HDTV
Posted on January 27th, 2008 @ 10:35 am

When I get my own place I plan on getting a good entertainment system and hopefully an HDTV since that seems to be the thing of the future. Why invest money in a good TV if it’s not HD? I’ll also need to by some HDMI splitters so I can extend my cable signal from the outlet to the television just in case I decide to put my TV in a location away from the outlet.

A Helping Hand
Posted on January 27th, 2008 @ 10:29 am

I’ve been in a financial bind lately. It’s hard living paycheck to paycheck especially when you don’t know when that next paycheck will arrive. I’ve been thinking about getting a payday loann if my situation gets worse. My rent is due in a few days, I’m running low on food, I’ve been paying my bills late trying to manage and maxing out all of my credit cards. Hopefully the storm will end soon.
