Working Hard On The Internet
Ever wonder why so many folks are trying to make extra money on the Internet and who is succeeding? This isn’t the site to learn from.

I stumbled onto another very useful tool, which is Smart Page Rank a tool which will find back links to any site and tell you the page rank of the linking sites, and can tell you what the linking text from the site was as well. At first I didn’t think the tool was that [...]

This is quite funny because now both my sites have this page rank, including this site. I am astounded to see that somehow this simple little “on line notebook” is actually ranked at 2/10, while my Canadian Personal Finance Blog which has thousands of links and such is also 2/10 (but then again, so is [...]

Evidently there is a new exciting entry in the search engine world, CUIL. I have looked at it and found that it does have copies of my old Financial Web site, but does not have Canadian Financial Opinions hooked into it yet.  I sent them an e-mail with updated pointers and descriptions of both of [...]

Page Rank Up
Canadian Financial and Consumer Opinions page rank seems to have raised up to a 2/10 in Google’s eyes, which is a start given it was at 0/10 for a very long time (due to unknown reasons). What caused this? I have no idea, I have been cleaning up the mess of cross-links (over [...]

The numbers for Day One on the new site was quite interesting. Lots more readers, biggest day for this site ever, howver, remember, my posting here is going to be at best spotty, so come back oftern :-).
I got accepted in Yahoo Buzz, have no idea what the heck that means, it has been so [...]

I am attempting to banish my blogspot version of Canadian Financial Opinions from the Google Index.
First I added the all important META tag into the header for the site
meta name=”robots” content=”noindex, nofollow”
That should stop the Googlebot from wandering through the site and getting any data on the content that is in there. How long stuff [...]

Fricking Google strikes again and Canadian Financial Opinions is back to Zero page ranking, yet Text Link Ads has sold 7 ads on the page and I keep getting nutty Pay Day Loan Ad requests as well. I have sent yet another request to be reconsidered, but that is a futile attempt.
Traffic continues to be [...]

So I guess my appeal to Google worked out, because now Canadian Financial Opinions Page Rank has returned to 3/10 (which is actually higher than it was before I moved the site to Dreamhost, so that is kind of cool too). With my current Alexa ranking this puts the web site back to where it [...]
