Yes I’m Still Alive and Well
Ok, yes I know it’s been a near on two months since my last post. I like everyone else have loads of excuses of course that I will not even go into as to why I have not posted on my personal blog that only merely shadows the actual money make maker of Ja Kel Daily the “Entertainment” section.
Today I have been told that I must make a complete effort to post at minimal one post per month to my personal blog. I will try I promise, maybe even more than one post per month.
Crashed After our Holiday
I’ve always heard that car crashes occur within a few minutes from home and I’ve always wondered just how true this statement is. So, here’s my story we returned home from Spain and my son (2 years old) and I crashed just three days following our return on Saturday at 12:45 on our way home from returning the movies and having a boy’s day out and guess what it was only two minutes from our house.
The short and long of the crash an older man failed to look before making a left turn onto a major highway blocking my vehicles path. We hit the front of his car, reaping the front of it off causing us to roll an estimated three-six times, hitting at light pole with the car ending upside down.

Away in Salobrena Spain
Yes, I know it’s been awhile since I’ve posted. I sincerely apologize to my regular readers but as you know my life has been in a seriously busy state. Quick update: on holiday taking a two week break in Salobrena Spain with my family, I’ve since become certified in Network+, Security+, A+ and MCP (main reason I have not been posting – studying, sucks), Interviewing for upcoming jobs in next two months (“very competitive” still unsure what part of the world we will be in next – will update as soon as I get the job acceptance), rent or sell our house in Belgium (stress), and basically all the unknown that comes in the upcoming days that we are faced with.Anyway here’s a few pics from my Spain holiday and will be posting again soon!

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.
I Was Lost in Greek Paradise
Many of you that have been following Geektalk have been in a constant wonder as to where I’d disappeared too since it has been approximately a month since my last post. Well not to worry I’m still here but have been extremely busy with work, studying, family and of course away on holiday in Greece.
So what’s happened in the last thirty days in my world? My job in Belgium is coming to a possible end in the next six months so I’ve been interviewing and applying to new areas thought-out the world. I’ve officially passed my CompTIA A+ certification test so I am now among the certified computer geeks. My daughter has been heavily into the Wii console and I am the number one choice for help with all games especially “Ratatouiee”. My son is turning two this month so birthday party planning, gift buying and keeping up with his energetic needs.
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.
Our London Weekend Getaway
I think I’ve lost count now how many times my wife and I have been to London for a weekend getaway. The last few times we stayed in Hilton establishments “Waldorf” & “Hilton Green Park” and this time we thought that we’d stay with the Intercontinental located on park lane, it’s just a few minutes walk from the famous Dorchester Hotel.
You may have heard of the Dorchester Hotel since it’s a well known celebrity hot spot. Anyway the Intercontinental has an impressive entrance and the rooms are decorated in a classic English style so if you are looking a modern look and feel I’d say go with the Waldorf that was recently renovated.
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.
