Wow! I spent hours this afternoon watching a video on tagging and pinging and Social Bookmarking. I learned a ton. I took lots of notes. Then I went to implement what I had learned with my own websites and blogs and nothing worked! What’s the deal? Nothing!

Onlywire is supposed to allow you to tag a website to a bunch of social bookmarking sites at one time (or something like that).  I’m pretty sure I don’t have the concept down yet. I did something on that site though because I ended up adding this blog to their “Recently Tagged Pages” twice! Now what? Does anybody know? At least I’m laughing now instead of being frustrated!

I also uploaded some word press plugins to this blog: Ultimate-tag-warrior, Sociable, and Smart-Update-Pinger. The last one is so I won’t keep pinging away when I go back to my posts to make multiple edits. And I do make multiple edits. Funny.

I know I’ll get it sometime, but it sure doesn’t feel very intuitive from the get go. I guess I’ll have to go to each bookmarking site and enter all my sites individually. We’ll see.

I feel like I’ve got a ton going on!

I have been spending time this week editing PLR articles before publishing them on my websites. It’s much more time consuming than I’d like it to be. I want to offer quality information though, so I’ll stay with it. Maybe I’ll get faster with practice.

Another project that I am involved with is Boy Million. It’s pretty darn fun. The object is to build a world record list of high powered backlinks that will be actively promoted for at least 3 years by the Blogini power machine.

So people come and choose some anchor text for their link, pay $5, get a whole bunch of free software and ebooks, and then they can forget about it. But Boy Million will be working for them non-stop providing SEO and traffic to their websites. Pretty soon we’ll have a rotating banner set up so everybody gets promoted that way too, and we’ll keep adding more and more ebooks and software into the download area for as long as Boy Million is alive!

The Alexa ranking has gone from over 1,000,000 to about 150,000 in just a couple weeks, so it’s really picking up steam! We’ll get that page rank up and keep the traffic coming and the value of the links will grow and grow and grow. All for only $5. At least go look at the site to see what I’m talking about. There are only 200,000 links available, so the urgency is growing!

Thanks for being here! That’s all for now.

I’m poised to focus heavily this week on adding dozens of pages to my websites, make posts to my accompanying Blogini blogs and to announce the articles on the Article Underground announcer blogs. I was checking out my websites tonight for indexing, page rank, and backlinks. Pretty bleak.

I have found that when I announce the articles on the AU announcement blogs, they do get indexed pretty quickly. So that is the plan this week. I actually have all ready added the articles to the sites, just haven’t published them yet. I’ll need to do lots of editing to make them at least a little original and then upload. Sounds like a plan. Sorry if this is too boring.

That’s all for now.

Seems as if someone has visited my blog since my post yesterday. This is welcome news. Getting and tracking traffic is something I do not have a handle on yet.  The reason I suspect I had a visitor or two is that I had some clicks on the links I included yesterday.  Very cool!  This is an area I intend to master.

I realize I didn’t include an update on my computer situation from many weeks ago.  What happened is I ordered a new desktop computer from Gateway in August.  The computer did not work.  They sent a technician to my house with a replacement motherboard.  That was a worse nightmare.  I sent the computer back and they sent another new one.  I still have it, but I’m far from satisfied.  It is very quirky and I’ve had to use a bunch of work arounds and troubleshoot a bunch of problems (i.e. I couldn’t record sound or talk over the internet; help files in the preinstalled programs were not accessible; sometimes when booting the keyboard does not work; sometimes I get images of two desktops on my monitor; sometimes I get only 3/4 of the desktop; sometimes restarting helps, sometimes it doesn’t….)  They did send a replacement monitor but that made no difference with the problems. Their support is hit and miss. Sometimes I’ve reached someone who knows what they’re doing and they offer tremendous help.  Other times they’re very poor or they hang up. The chat option for support does not work at all.  I did send one email and received a prompt and helpful reply.  So that’s the summary.  I sure wouldn’t recommend a Gateway to anyone.

What I do have is tons more RAM and a huge monitor.  Huge benefits.

That’s it for today.
