Living consciously involves being genuine. It involves listening and responding to others honestly and openly. It involves being in the moment.
Sidney Poitier
Actor and Author of The Measure of a Man

I have to tell you that I have many projects going on at the moment that sometimes, I forget to let you know what’s going on. My work has become quite varied and I am involved in some JV’s which are keeping me very occupied to say the least. Oh… and btw, with Google’s latest PageRank update, my site now has a PageRank 3 which is pretty cool I think… and not only that, but following on from the last article re TaggZilla and ranking #1 with Google, little did I know that when I started with this blog, my other sites, and profiles on many of the social network sites, that I had my own little Site Club going on. They all have Page Ranks now

What this means is that this blog has provided some strength in the importance of all my other sites. So if you are a webmaster and into blogging, having links to all your other sites can improve the chance of building their PageRank as well. I guess that’s what they mean by link building with relevancy to the site. (more…)

I know what you are thinking. Yeah - right. I have heard it all before. But what you don’t know is that this method I will be revealing is right now being tried, tracked and tested as we speak. One of the members on TaggZilla, Richard Tubbs, has developed a system called Site Club. So, unless you are a member there you probably would not have heard about this yet.

This is what is so great about the TaggZilla team. Testing methods and sharing the experiences with all members so that they can all have a piece of the pie, so to speak.

So what is a Site Club you ask. A Site Club is like your own personal blogroll on one main site that feeds to all your other sites. I cannot give you Richard’s details as the data would then be polluted. But what I can tell you is that on your main site under your blogroll, you would have text or box ads that are links to your other sites. (more…)

How many of you do some kind of regular exercise? I have found over the years that I love to start a routine and then get so into it and then one day, it just stops. Does this sound like you or are you more disciplined than me?

We all know the benefits of regular exercise and that it does give you more energy to carry on through your day than if you don’t do any at all. Being fit is something that will keep you young not just physically, but also mentally. Having a fit and healthy body is beneficial to you and those around you as it makes you feel stronger, it keeps the blood flowing through your veins, and just makes you feel better generally.

The reason I bring this up is because I ran into a friend of mine last week who is a personal trainer and he invited me to join in on a Saturday morning gym group that he runs down at our local beach. This morning was a particularly glorious day so I walked to the location which overlooks the Sandringham Yacht Club, which is beautiful in itself, and joined Marc’s group. (more…)
