I asked ProBlogger, John Chow, DailyBlogTips, Carey, Smemon and Shoemoney all the same question. As you know my Playstation Blog gets quite a lot of visits and i wondered if i should have put adverts on it. My question was:
my friends are saying i’m shooting myself in the foot by not running adsense or some [...]
I was on the Digital Point forums over the weekend and saw a lot of topics regarding Google PageRank updating. Today is bank Holiday and i’m pretty much bored and not really doing anything so i thought i would check my PageRank and my current page rank is 3! I really didn’t expect this at all, [...]
I few weeks ago i made a post regarding how i rank in Google for my own name, David Parkinson. I’ve just checked now and i rank in at number 2! My ultimate aim is to become number 1 in Google for my own name! Why? I just want to see if i can achieve [...]
