Your dieing to know how it’s doing, arn’t you?!

Well, I’ve had a couple people enter the site via it’s keywords in Google. The number of backlinks has tripled but the SERP position is the same. However it is now moving up in multiple other keywords and is in the top 10 for a couple good ones. Daily visitors is around 6 now.

The site contains quite a few articles now and is fighting hard for it’s main keywords. I’m suspecting it to be on the first page within 2 weeks at this rate. Google seems sluggish in indexing other pages pointing to the site as is Yahoo, which is showing very few backlinks of the ones I have produced in the last week.

No money has been made from it just yet and it is not monitized in order to be more acceptable by conservative webmasters. On that note, I’m building around 5 links a day from different but relevant sources.

Tis all for now,

Your walking around your local supermarket. It’s been a busy day at work and so you haven’t yet eaten your lunch although your work day is now over. You got your list in hand, milk, eggs, tomatoes, cucumber and a few other items. Then a rumble, as your stomach reminds you of your foolish mistake of missing lunch. Then out of the corner of your eye you spot a hint of a wrapper gleaming in the store light. Thinking that you better check it out, you turn your cart and grab the now apparent Aero bar. You know your hungry, and it’s only 89 cents so you throw it in the cart. Then you think, I’m really hungry and you grab another.

Now as you shop around some more you start to notice that although you got that Aero bar to calm your hunger you now have an assortment of other food items that were not on the list. This pattern continues until you get to the till and you look at your purchase, milk, eggs, cucumber, tomato,…., aero bar x2, chips ahoy, oreo, rootbeer, a kiwi, a bag of chips, chocolate milk, soy milk and 2 loaves of bread. Now how did this happen?

I’m sure this has happened to all of us, even the best of us that laugh at others when this happens to them. I had never fallen victim to it until last month when I splurged on a large set of Snickers bars (and devoured 4 by the time I had driven home). It’s pretty obvious as to why it happens but the more interesting thing to note is that why after we do get a snack, we continue to purchase even more as if one is not enough?

So moral of the story, eat before you shop. Have an “emergency” Snickers bar in your glove compartment of your car. Make two purchases when you shop, 1 where you buy a snack right as you come in, and your second that includes all the items on your shopping list. But your best bet is just to eat before you go shopping, or you’ll pay the price.

WE ARE IN A RECESSION!!

Now a days, no matter where you are, that generally applies.  With governments and political parties both striving to bolster collapsing economies by any means possible, it’s a great time for the green parties to jump in and join the fiasco. Governments left and right are drafting new bills and stimulus packages in order to stop the economic freefall. This is the time for you green parties to jump in!

We are facing a major overhaul in our economic systems, now get out there and throw your ideas into the bear pit! There is no better time for our governments to start building wind farms, solar farms and endorsing geothermal energy. Investing in businesses that deal with such matters will create jobs and what do you know, they will green our economy and save money in the long term. There is no short-term solution to the recession, so lets think to the future in order to stop the next one from coming.

In Australia, the government is planning on giving out free ceiling insulation to tens of thousands of people over the next years along with their economic stimulus package. Not only will the Aussies be creating jobs in the construction industry, but they’ll also be saving the homeowners money and the government’s money by reducing the amount of electricity being used. These are the kind of plans that we need to set in action here in North America.

I leave you with the question, what are your governments doing in your country/state to initiate a greener economy?

Hey, just wanted to say I’m back and will be blogging starting near the middle of this week.
