Love Amazon Except for Clothes

If you want to buy music, movies, books or any electronics, you should always check out Amazon for the best prices. In a lot of cases, Amazon carries stuff that you cannot even find locally. But their clothing selections are awful and way too expensive. I would have to be desperate to buy clothing from Amazon. As long as I can still get to the malls around here, I’ll never buy clothes online.

Back in the Day

The tools of the trade from just a dozen years ago or so. Old school editing and paste up was tape, scissors, glue, straight edge. We even had a light blue pencil that the copy machine could not read so you could write notes on the original. I loved the white tape that came in a roll and was exactly wide enough to cover a line of type. The good old days!

Graph Paper

My dad used to bring home some extra office supplies for when he had to work at home. Usually it was just a couple of legal pads and a handful of cheap pens. Some nights he brought unusual things, like graph paper and a clear drafting triangle.

He gave me a couple of sheets of graph paper to play with and I’ve been a fan ever since. I love to draw house plans and landscaping diagrams on graph paper, then see them come to life. Of course, now there are programs on the internet to do that for you.. But I still have a couple of pads of real graph paper in the closet.

With everything failing whats your take?

What does it mean to the economy now that so many companies have filed for Bankruptcy or have been given money by the Government or just flat taken over by the Government in order to starve off a total financial collapse? Well to tell you the truth I have no idea but wanted to put that question out there to everyone and see what they thought!

From what I can gather though from reports on the news i think this one guy said it best when he said every ones dollar just got a little less valuable and everyone got a little bit more poorer as a result of it!

SEO friendly blog advertising!

When it comes to search engines you either play by there rules or you get removed from there indexes which is why SEO friendly or search engine optimization friendly advertising in any form is important to do otherwise prepare to one day not see your website in the search engines. So what makes one site from another one SEO friendly?  The answer to that question is quite simple really. And that is whether or not they use the now famous rel nofollow tag in the source code before the URL when ever someone is paid for adding that URL to any webpage.

So for instance if you comment on my blog here and leave your URL in the proper place then view the source code of my blogs webpage and hit control f then add in the phrase “no follow” in the box that appears you will see it is in front you the URL that you left because that is telling the search engines not to flow the power or rank to that page to the URL when its bots or spiders come to this page. So go give it a try and see what I mean and if you get it than you now understand SEO friendly and non SEO friendly optimization.

So with that said places that do blog advertising that is SEO friendly are popping up everywhere because they have the no follow feature added to them but places like Pay Per Post do not so odds are the blogs are going to be penalized for advertising your product or service and your website may also get penailized for buying the service. But go to an SEO friendly service like Blogtising and you do not have to worry about that ever happening! But now that I should you mine show me your SEO friendly ways of making money on the web!
