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.

So my Canadian Personal Finance site continues to be crawled by many different bots and such and it is making for some very interesting statistics. 
 
What the heck is causing all this crawling around, I have no idea, but holy cow that is a lot of crawling that is for sure.

So I think my site is actually being checked by the Google “bots” now, and when I look at the indexed pages, I see most entries, but what is interesting is that only some of my postings are individual, most are lumped into the Blogspot archive for that month. Is that a bad thing? I [...]
