me.Blog 1st Month Report


me.Blog is a month old with its first post on March 9, 2007. Since than I've posted a total of 23 posts including this and more than 500 unique visitors have visited me.Blog according Google Analytics.

Evern since I started blogging, looking at the number of visitors and location became one of my daily job. I feel happy when the number of visitors is up, feel sad when the number is down.

For tracking visitors, I've installed scripts form Google Analytics and StatCounter. (Mybloglog is also tracking visitors and outclicks too.)

What I like very much about StatCounter is that I'm able view recent visitor location maps in details. StatCounter has utilized Google Maps to produce this nice feature. Since my current visitor number is low, I can spend my time to see where each and all of my visitors are from.

Another reason I like StatCounter is that it doesn't send spyware cookies to visitors. Please read StatCounter said NO!. But since its free account has a very small log size, I can't store my data for long.

Top Performing Posts

Okay, below are me.Blog top performing posts for this month in terms of bringing traffic to the blog.

1. Google Maps Removed links to Yelp.com
In this post, I reported that Google has removed link to user generated review site Yelp.com after an anti-Microsoft logo from Yelp was display on Google Maps search result for Microsoft.

Layout Improvements

1. me.Blog removed default navigation bar from its layout. Credit should be given to Kumiko for her post on how to remove it.

2. No. post to display was set to two posts. Previously, It was set to one.

3. Added Feedburner Feed Subscription button and moved Add This Blog to My Technorati Favorites button to header.

4. Removed default RSS autodiscovery and replaced with Feedburner feed autodiscovery making Feedburner feed the only available feed for me.Blog.

5. Added recent comments and Recent Posts widgets to sidebar.

6. Added target='_blank' tag to most of my links so that target link will open in a new window when a user click on that link.

I hope you like all the improvements I did to me.Blog. If you have anything to say about my blog layout and color, just send an email or leave a comment.

** How Would YOU LIKE To Become A MILLIONAIRE IN Just A Few WEEKS?? !!!* :-)

Would You Like To TURN $6.00 INTO $6,000 OR $60,000...

I DID!!

Please Understand That READING THIS One MESSAGE WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER!!


IT HELPED ME To Become Very Wealthy & IT CAN HELP YOU Too!!

This Is NOT A SCAM !!!!

I REPEAT NOT A SCAM!!

It Will Only COST YOU A $6.00 CASH !!

& IT Really Does WORK!!

PLEASE READ ALL Of This Amazing Article!!!


I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back,
I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now,and came across an
article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within
weeks with only an initial investment of Only $6.00!

I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us,
I was curious, so I kept reading.

The Article said that you send $1.00 to each
of the 6 names and addresses stated in the article. You then place your own
name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at
least 200 newsgroups.(There are thousands)

That was it!!

After thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it.
I figured: "What have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, Right?" I Then invested the
$6.00.

... Well GUESS WHAT!?...* :-)

... Within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked!

I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I
made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over
$1,000.00! In the third week I had over
$10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made
a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in
rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than
that on the lottery!!

Let me tell you how this works and most importantly,
WHY it works... Also, make sure you print a copy of this
article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I
promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start
making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy!



Suggestions:


*Read this Entire Message Carefully! (print or download it)

*Follow the Simple Directions and watch the $$ Money Come in!



It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage)



IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not illegal; and
it is 99% no risk to You - Remember ... It really works Too!



If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive
$$$ Extraordinary Dividends.



PLEASE NOTE:

Follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in
20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and
integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully
adhering to the instructions.



You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your
product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of
developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks
for quality lists. However, the money made
from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people
like you and me asking to be included in that list.



Here are the 4 easy steps to success:


STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece
of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and
place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen
through the envelope (to prevent
thievery).

...Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them.
You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating
the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing
is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it!
Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal
aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S.
Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal. Mail
the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:



#1)Christina Fox
2715 9th ave SW
Huntsville, AL 35805


#2)Steven Lum
2255 W Arthur Ave
Chicago, IL 60645


#3)Bryan Montz
P.O. Box 88070
Houston, Tx 77288


#4) Peter J. Davidson
250 R. 98th St.
Stone Harbor, NJ 08247


#5)Reginald B. Ringgold
890 Davis St. Apt# 307
San Leandro, CA 94577


#6) Cynthia Boss
39 Pichette Blvd.
Woonsocket,RI 02895


STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other
names up 1 place (#2 becomes #1, #3 becomes #2, etc...) and add YOUR name and
address as number 6 on the list.



STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to
original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at
least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to24,000 groups) All you need
is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! You won't
get very much unless you post like crazy. :)



This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302
& 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for
yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again.



PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty
and integrity of the participants and by their carefully
adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the
program will continue and the money that so many others have received will
come your way.



NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a
computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that
you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the
$1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.)

So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six
members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with
one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when
your name reaches the #1 position you will
be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only
$6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now, add
your own name to the list and you're in business!



-----DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS--------------



Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting.
Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor
to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This
will copy the entire letter into the
computer's memory.

Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the
blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of
the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list.

Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If
you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always have this
file to go back to.

Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various
newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.)
Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by
highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu.
Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that
everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular
group, click the post message button. You're done with your first one!
Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is
jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it
will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE
NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE! BUT YOU
HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money
from around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box
due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If
you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the
postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**



Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200
postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the
original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM
posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an
additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM
200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an
additional $625.00! The Cycle of $$Money Simply Continues...& Makes You Very RICH!!!

You Are All Loved!!* :-)
