Using StumbleUpon For Traffic

I have been using StumbleUpon since the very beginning of this website, which is a little over a month ago, and I have had good success with it, considering I had no friends on the service to vote I Like It. StumbleUpon brings over 100 visitors, and growing each day. I have noticed that unlike Digg, Stumble has a delay time before you start getting traffic, usually around 2 to 4 days, but unlike Digg traffic, Stumble traffic is stable and visitors continue to come day after day, long after the article / website was posted.

The process of submitting a website to StumbleUpon is an easy uncomplicated process and takes all of a minute to do. Then in an ideal world, people will come to your website or blog entry and click I like it on the stumble bar and this votes up your website, which results in more traffic.

I do not see a need to write a full article about this service, because so many people have written amazing articles on StumbleUpon and the several ways to use it effectively. I have read everyone of these pages and recommend them to anyone who is actively trying to get traffic or least quality backlinks to their websites. I have listed 3 links to websites explaining everything and anything someone would want to know about the service, and how you should build your StumbleUpon profile so that you can get people Stumbling your page or pages.

Things To Check When Using Wordpress

I am writing this post as a result of my lack of due diligence. I am usually good at checking the important parts of a website to make sure everything is working and correct, but this little tiny thing that I forgot to check, went unnoticed until today.

So here I am, testing out some search engine ideas for my website, and I noticed in Google search that the description for howbits was way off, in fact it was nothing like what I had put into the all in one SEO plugin. So off I go, back to my website to investigate this weird issue and come to find out, when I changed website design I had forgotten to remove the default meta description and keyword code for the theme.

I learned that, all in one SEO loads it’s meta tags after the themes header information, so if a meta tag is used before all in one SEO meta tags, the first meta tags are shown and not the later ones. As a result all in one SEO description was not showing up, and my website description was the default blog description.

So for anyone who has a Wordpress website, who uses themes, and the plugin All in one SEO, you may want to follow this list of what to remove out of your themes header file. Read More »

Googles Newest Toy - Google Sky Photo Howbits

This is awesome, Google is now offering a Google maps of outer space. I actually spent a lot of time looking at the Historical overlay of the stars, funny to see the map of the sky from the old times.

Here is a quote from the website, I recommend checking it out.

Traveling to the stars has never been easier

To help you explore the far reaches of our universe, we have teamed up with astronomers at some of the largest observatories in the world to bring you a new view of the sky. Using Google Maps this tool provides an exciting way to browse and explore the universe. You can find the positions of the planets and constellations on the sky and even watching the birth of distant galaxies as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope.

We are particularly excited about the ability to view the universe at different wavelengths, to see how it would look if our eyes worked in the x-rays or infrared. As you explore these new layers, play with the transparency to blend between the different wavelengths and see how different parts of the universe light up at different wavelengths

If you are interested in what’s happening on the sky tonight or over the next few months then check out the podcasts from Earth and Sky or search for the position of your favorite planet.

I am Legend The Real Ending

So as I was making the rounds today on the internet, I noticed a link to the Real Ending of I Am legend, that said it was better then the original ending of the movie. Out of curiosity I click the link and proceed to watch the last 10 minutes of I Am legend. So in my opinion, yes the original ending of I Am Legend, sucked and it ruined the movie, but this alternate ending is far superior and it’s actually really good. So for any movie buffs out there that want to see the good ending to I Am Legend, here is the link to -
