Exploring the Search Engine
The vast majority of internet users will use a search engine occasionally, if not frequently. Search engines are routinely included in browsers, no matter if you use Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, or Netscape, with the intent of saving the user time.
It may seem odd to talk about saving time on the internet. Thinking back to 15 years ago, the internet was just starting to burst into mainstream America. The speed and reach of the internet was mind-boggling at that time. Now we’ve come so far with the technology that we actually find ourselves wanting better and faster results.

How Different Are You
In my personal opinion this is a question that you must ask yourself when running a blog site. According to technorati there are 70 million blogs out there already and a study in 2006 showed that 100,000 were being created each day I’m unsure how many are being created as to date.
For the key term celebrity gossip a Google search returns 6.9 million results now not all of these are blogs of course but this is the competition that our entertainment portion is up against. The Geektalk section of Ja Kel Daily is for the most part whatever I feel like posting about since it’s my personal blog but predominately I talk about tech related things and if you Google anything related the results are an astounding 300 million or more if it’s a generic term. Anyway you get the point, I hope.
Yes Anything Could Happen
It’s been a few days now since I went to the barber shop to get my monthly cut. While waiting “Inc.” magazine with a Twitter headline caught my eye and since my number one hate is wasting time I decided to have a read.
Initially when I picked the magazine up I was actually thinking it was a tech related magazine but in fact it is designed for the entrepreneur. I was so impressed with my read and the overall material I decided to pay for a subscription which was only $9.97 for twelve issues.
Yes, I know you can read thousands of websites for free on such material but there is just something about picking up a magazine and a cup of coffee and having a great read wherever the place may be at the time.
Our Google Authority Listing
In January 2008, Google dropped our PageRank from a PR5 to a PR4 for selling links but just today I noticed that we have been given an “authority listing” by Google for JaKel Daily. Is it a huge deal to have Google acknowledge that I’m the authority for information about ‘Ja Kel Daily’? To be honest I’m not sure – but I guess it’s better than not having an authority at all.
Similar to an “indented listing” (see below), an “authority listing” is a site which has received a significant of natural backlinks, total number of daily searches, and high quality linkback “authority” from other high PR sites, over a long period of time. Many of you already know that JKD started with fashion and celebrity blogging in February 2006 then following the Geektalk section in February 2007.
Increase AdSense Earnings 600 Percent
March is officially over now and April is under way…sorry no April fools joke here. Now getting back to the making money online, March was our most successful month in the terms of AdSense profits. I know that many of you have read too many times that it only takes a minor adjustment to increase Google AdSense by 600% or even more.
Well this was the exact case in with our site. I had been reading and listening to so many others when it came to recommendations as to what AdSense ad is the most profitable and for many they are placing the ad within the post itself. I had been using this method for many months without success and basically I was just under the impression that our site was not receiving enough page impressions to reach higher profits.
Blogging Book “Blogging Heroes”
Sixteen days six since my last post the longest time period since the start of my personal blog “geektalk” in February 2007. At the moment the family and I are in England again for a week visiting family.
Today at Bluewater I purchased my first blogging book “Blogging Heroes
Pay Per Click Affiliate Marketing
Longer than usual since my last post I know, sorry in advance. I’ve been away in Germany for S+ (Security +) training for work. The class was basically a cram session to get me prepared for the CompTIA exam that I have to take within the next 30 days. The class was extremely boring however it did get me away from the office for a week.
Presently I have been absorbed in researching and learning all about PPC affiliate marketing. For those of you that are not familiar with pay per click affiliate marketing it is a web-based marketing via the use of search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN ads for which you pay for and in return the businesses compensates you after a purchase or related transaction has occurred from your marketing efforts. An excellent resource for history and a more indebt look can be located on wiki affiliate marketing.
Should You Buy Website Traffic
Buy 100,000 premium targeted visitors for the very low price of just $39.95 and increase site profits! Now you would think this sounds great after all it’s at a bargain price, but the sad truth is that the majority of the sites offering this service are complete scams.
Yes, of course they’ll deliver the targeted hits you’ve purchased, but the reality is that the actual traffic either doesn’t exist at all or it’s generated by software to create an illusion of unique visitors that comes from sources like auto surf sites. The truth is that it is near impossible to monitor & evaluate this bargain traffic to know if it’s real or not, and the fact is you have no way of knowing whether it’s targeted or just garbage hits.
Internet More Popular Than TV?
A new study from IDC indicates that on average people spend 32.7 hours online a week and only 16.4 hours watching television. Newspapers and magazines get only 3.9 hours of our attention. IDC surveyed 992 Americans aged 15 years and older.
But does this actually mean that the Internet is twice as popular as television? I wouldn’t say that just yet. The total weekly media consumption comes to 70.6 hours in the survey. The press release also doesn’t indicate whether there was simultaneous media consumption.
Build a Social Network Empire
Look, I don’t really think that the mySpaces and Facebooks of the world are that important for the typical small business as they stand today. There may be very practical business reasons for some to actually use these and other, what are called social networks, for business gain, but most people that have jumped on the social network bandwagon have found themselves left with a “is this all there is” kind of feeling.
To those, I say this, the value of the current public social networks for business folks is not what you can get out of them for gain today, but what you can learn by using them for practical gain tomorrow. That’s why SpacebookedIn makes sense for you now.
8 Steps Start Blogging Today
While surfing the net today I came across an excellent post on how to set up a blog for beginners and since it was already a reader request for a guest post; “I would really like to see people write addressing novices about blogging in simple step by step understandable language.” so here it is already written for me.
5 Tips for Writing Website Content
I’m going to ask you to use your imagination for a moment. Think of a topic that interests you. Maybe it’s your favorite sport or hobby, for example. Now imagine that you’re searching the Internet for information on that topic.
The first article you come across is related to the topic you’re researching, but it doesn’t offer much in the way of value. It’s too general and full of pointless “fluff.” It makes obvious points that a third-grader could grasp. And it fails to offer any related information or resources.
Hand it Over to Guest Posts!
I’m looking to hand it over and give way for guest posting! So, readers and newcomers alike if you feel you have something “Geektalk” related you would like to express on Ja Kel Daily just use our contact form or email me (admin@jakeldaily.com) with your article you would like to be posted and of course put some back links to your site.
Not to worry I will still be posting also, just looking to add some new inspiration!
“Sometimes you don’t have the time or inspiration to maintain a sizable catalogue of draft posts for future use, so what happens if you actually need some? Fortunately it’s not too hard to find people who will write a couple of guest posts for you (taking the strain off yourself). Clearly there are pitfalls with this because people came to your site to read your content but ultimately it’s a great way of keeping blogging enjoyable.” John Chow
MacBook Air World’s Thinnest Laptop
Finally, a Mac that has definitely gotten me tempted to make my first purchase! It starts at a mere $1799, more details and to pre-order at apple.com.
MacBook Air is nearly as thin as your index finger. Practically every detail that could be streamlined has been. Yet it still has a 13.3-inch widescreen LED display, full-size keyboard, and large multi-touch trackpad. It’s incomparably portable without the usual ultraportable screen and keyboard compromises.
