Dr. Levitt is a pioneer, and his studies on the potency [...]

Do you want to start a “Make Money Online” (MMO) blog? Yes? Well, let’s be honest, you’ve missed the boat, that ship has sailed. The world wide web is now flooded with people trying to grab their slice of the pie. I remember hearing a saying once that “nothing original is ever created in a [...]

The question of would I ever buy a car off eBay was asked of me the other day, and for once, I was actually stuck for an answer. At first I was in the ‘Nahhh’ corner, but the more I thought about it the more I started to warm to the idea. In many ways [...]

Do you have an undeveloped domain name just sitting there gathering dust? Personally, I have a couple that were purchased based on the “it seemed like a good idea at the time” principle. I’d tried parking them, but that wasn’t working out for me. So now I’ve decided to use one of the domains to [...]

A week ago I wrote about how to improve your Technorati ranking. At the time of writing that post, the Technorati rank for SwollenPickles.com was 91,357. Since then, I’ve taken a couple of measures outlined in that post, but to be honest, spent very little time working on it. In that time, my Technorati rank [...]

Day three of the Technorati experiment is here, and it would seem things have taken a nasty turn. Yesterday I was sitting pretty with a Technorati rank of 88,547. Today, there’s been an nose dive, with my current rank ballooning out to 111,362. Edit: An hour and a half after posting this I checked again [...]

Here’s a quick follow up to yesterdays post “How To Improve Your Technorati Rank”. Yesterday my Technorati rank was 91,357, as of writing this it is 88,547. Another interesting point is that yesterday if you’d search Google for “improve your technorati rank”, there would have been no sign of SwollenPickles.com. Run that same search today [...]
