While browsing the blogosphere, I often come across webmasters complaining that link building is time consuming. When I created the first list of free directories where you can submit your blog for free, I received some complaints. The next list of directories I compiled were linked directly to their submission page to make your submission [...]

New Project, But I’ll Still Be Here! My Review Site, which is my first big project online, is almost done. My programmer is doing the final touches before I could officially launch it anytime this month. This project is the reason why I wasn’t able to update Blogging Mix as usual. Now that the project is [...]

The latest Google Page Rank update is over and Blogging Mix is now PAGE RANK 4. Google Page Rank checked with the use of Search Status Plugin Actually, the first Page Rank that Google gave my blog was PR 4. Then after I got caught for doing sponsored posts (with links made DOFOLLOW), my page rank was demoted to 3. [...]

I’m probably one of the few people who wasn’t impressed with Wordpress 2.5. I personally believe that Wordpress 2.3.3 was alot user friendly.

At first, reading their emails were amusing but it’s been annoying lately as the number of emails increased. Considering that reciprocal link is a less effective SEO strategy that rarely works, I’m really surprised at how many bloggers and webmasters are [...]

One of the reasons why some bloggers are active Entrecard users, other than the traffic, is the boost in their Alexa Traffic Rank. Now that Alexa has overhauled its traffic ranking algorithm to include more sources of data, will Entrecard traffic still be effective in boosting Alexa Traffic Rank?

There’s nothing wrong with Alexa. It’s just that they have overhauled their ranking system and it’s now in effect. That’s the reason why Blogging Mix’s Alexa Traffic Rank dropped from 65,798 to 169,276.
