Good news today! MSN’s Search Engine, Live.com, is now listing my blog in their database. Let’s take a quick look at my Firefox Rank Checker results. I told you I was addicted to this tool!
My best search term across the board is “online marketing diary” which makes sense because this is the title of [...]

There likely isn’t alot of value signing up with a social site and then promptly leaving….instead of being social. I will come back to these sites in a few weeks to explore and use them in more detail.

It’s been 2 weeks since my first post on this blog and last night while all was quiet, Yahoo indexed my blog into their search directory. This is great news as my traffic is very low still and I am the type of person that needs to see progress.
I must confess, I am addicted to [...]
Here are a few things I have done in the last couple of days.

Well, my new website is starting to be enveloped by the web. Google crawlers came back to re-index Jan 7 which was fortunate because the first time it cached a page with absolutely no content whatsoever.
I found a wicked tool called “Rank Checker” which is an add on to Firefox web browser.
Just put in the [...]
Yesterday was the day I checked out Twitter.com, even though just the name “Twitter” annoyed me. I can’t explain why…perhaps it’s the “twit” part.
Anyways, I signed up…..posted a few lines of what I was doing and tried to figure out how it all works.
Twitter is comparable to Facebook’s “What am I doing now?” feature which, [...]
I spent quite a few hours submitting this blog to the following blog directories and websites. Here’s the list so far:
StumbleUpon.com
Signed up and became a member, then gave my own site a review. Should I do more?
Zimbio.com
This one looks interesting, will have to go back and look further into later.
Zmeta.net
There was no indication that anything [...]
As a blog owner, you should know which search engines are used the most so you can decide how much time and worry to spend on each one. According to the table below (plucked from Hitwise.com), Google is way ahead of all the others but is less than 3/4 of the total.
Looking at these stats, [...]
Well that was quick, after only a few hours of starting this website, Google has taken a snapshot of our homepage and indexed it. This is a good start. The search term “online marketing diary” shows us ranking #4. That’s all fine except that it would be much better to be #4 for “online marketing” [...]

I keep things simple and use Excel to [...]
