Home Made Beer BYO

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

In an effort to be a little more green we are going to attempt to make our own beer. Apparently this is not something new to dwellers of caves and us among the out landers. I guess I have been living under a rock for some time now and I want to get out from under it as soon as possible.

Brew Your Own more commonly known as Homebrewng, has been around for centuries. Now you can buy a kit that will show you how to make beer in just a few short steps. This process of making beer in your own home is much more cost effective than buying a 6 or 12 pack on the way home from work. And you can make an unlimited supply of brew, cool it and drink it anytime you want.

So in an effort to be more green and to become a self sustained house hold we are going to attempt the process of brewing our own beer. This will really give new meaning to the term BYOB!!

Alexa Still Hates Me

Friday, April 13th, 2007

I have been using some of the tricks that I learned recently to get a better Alexa Traffic Score and show people that your site does get looked at. It’s not enough to show your own stats apparently but you have to have the recommendation of sites like Alexa who use some pretty tricky and sneaky practices to supply other people with your stats.

We use a few different programs to monitor our sites progress in the search and in the ranks of Alexa. Web CEO is one that started out free and we just had to have it for full time use. You can check all kinds of things with Web CEO.

One of these days Alexa will get their stuff together and let everyone know how they are getting their results that are so important to blogging in the paid blogging arena.

There are other sites like Technoroti who boast real time results and real time indexing of blogs that are out in the web. The blogosphere is growing and can not be stopped. You will be seeing more and more blogs supplying information and great links to other sites if you are not hip to this already.
