Invitation to Bright Kite

by

If you are looking for an invitation to BrightKite, look no further. I am offering an invitation to the first 2 people who comment on this post. If you have not heard about BrightKite here is a brief explanation. It is a startup aiming to bring location-specific services to the masses. At its core Bright Kite is a location-aware social recommendation service. Users are encouraged to define their frequented locations, once at a defined location users can view a placefeed – think location-specific twitter – as well as, post notes, images, and check in. All of the site’s functionality is also available through their excellent iPhone web app. In addition you can make friends, check up on your friends, and view your friends last checked in locations.

Promoting TeethRemoval.com

Hey guys, I just wanted to share a quick update of how this website has been fairing as far as people visiting go. It has gradually been increasing each month through my promotion and SEO efforts. Hopefully I can keep the trend going throughout the summer. I have a few more ideas in mind to increase visibility in primarily Google as I do not rank as well in Google as I do in MSN and Yahoo. However, Google makes up the most of the people who find my site. Here is a chart to help illustrate the site’s growth. Thanks to everyone for visiting!

Reader Email

I wanted to talk briefly about the reader email i have been receiving. Thank you all for sending me email. I appreciate it and I wish you all well in your health. A common theme that appears is people emailing me saying something along the lines of “I wish I would have found your site before…”. I am aware that many people often will go and have their wisdom teeth removed and not think hard and long about the quality of life that could be diminished and impacted after the procedure. People may fail to do research online, or not do as much research as they should, or fail to find my site.

Google Analytics – New “Opted In” Acceptance

by

So today I logged in to Google analytics to check some of the ways that people are find my site and was surprised to be greeted by a pop up asking me to accept some new terms. So what exactly was I accepting? I decided to did a little deeper. On the Google Analytics blog it states “You can … elect to share your data with other Google services. This setting will allow us to provide you with additional advanced new features. For example, many of you have asked us to integrate Conversion Optimizer (which is currently only available to AdWords Conversion Tracking users) into Google Analytics. By opting to share your data with Google, you’ll be able to take advantage of these related new features as they become available.” In addition there is also a new benchmarking service.

Page Rank Update

by

I am excited to announce that with the recent Google Page Rank Update this blog has gone from a Page Rank of 0 yes that is right zero, to a page rank of 3. I am not quite sure how this will change things but hopefully I will see more visibility in search results as well as hopefully additional advertisings on this site. For those who do not know, periodically Google Updates a page’s page rank from zero to 10, with 10 being the best. Few sites ever reach beyond a page rank of 7 as it gets exponentially more difficult to increase your page rank. I recently have learned more about the algorithm behind page rank in a electrical engineering class. Other popular bloggers have also seen a page rank bump, such as Affiliate Confession.
