Good tip, using Word to Help Your Writing

John Chow’s e-book had another interesting point about writing style and skill (since English is not John’s first language) and he talked about how he used Word to help with this. That struck me as a good idea, so I am going to try that out at least to help with some of the more [...]

New Domain Name

So I now own the domain name http://canajunfinances.ca which previously only went to an ad page for the hosting company domainsatacost.ca, but I have remedied that. This address now just forwards to my blogspot account, so that is a good thing. No point in paying the money and not getting any traffic from it, in [...]

Analytics Missing

So that ended up being the problem, is that in changing from Old Blogspot to New (format that is), I forgot to include the Analytics code in the HTML, so that is now remedied I can now look at my graphs again. Now I have nice data like this to look at again:

Analytics is now not reporting anything?

That is interesting, because the Adsense reports show lots of nice activity on my web site, yet Google Analytics report ZERO visitors, which seems really strange. I must have knocked something off the apple cart, and analytics has lost me or something. It does say it is receiving data, which is good, but there is [...]

That’s Twice Now

Alexa Ranking

So my Alexa Ranking for Canadian Financial Stuff is dismal, and not really on the charts at all, however, a very good posting talked about how to change your links in your blog to help out your Alexa ranking. Not sure if it will help that much, but I am trying it out for a [...]

Power of Blogs

Well after last week’s Apple share price melt down thanks to an unsubstantiated rumor by a prominant A-list web site, it makes me wonder, who exactly is viewing this information as the “gospel truth”?
Blogs are great to get technical info from, but then again, you can verify that information so easily (just try it out [...]

Lu Lu Lemon

Yup, I am now officially peeved at Google again, and their Search Engine ranking bovine feces.
My original posting on Canadian Financial Rants about Lu Lu Lemon was posted a while back and picked up by a couple Stock Carnivals, so I was happy with the article. I checked to see where it might show up [...]
