I saw a nifty clock at Earn Money with Google Adsense today, the clock was so cool that I followed the link on it and discovered a nifty little website, Clock Link. Here you can find a wide variety of clocks for your blog or website.
They come in a wide variety of different colors, shapes, and sizes. Here are a few of my favorites:
I'm using the one below on our prosperity project to count down the days as we go. And since we are between projects at the moment, this one is a count down to the start of the next one:
Cool huh?
Blog Rush Widget
At Contest Blogger today I found information about, and links to Blog Rush. This is a free blogging service allows your links to be shown on related blogs.
This is what it looks like:
The one I installed here can be found in the sidebar towards the bottom of the page.
Here's how it works:
When you add the BlogRush widget to your blog, your post titles will immediately start showing up across a bunch of related blogs that have signed up for BlogRush themselves. If your blog gets 100 page views a day, your links will show up 100 times on other blogs. If it gets 1,000 page views a day, your links will show up 1,000 times.
And what’s even better is that if you refer another blog to BlogRush, your links will be shown even more based on the traffic they receive.
Remember: It is estimated that more than 20% of blog readers are also bloggers!

Getting people to comment on your blogs
One great way to encourage comments on your blog is to join the D-List, or the Do Follow movement. I learned about this over at the Secret of Unlimited Prosperity and found more great information at Essential Keystrokes, both of which are great blogs and worth a visit.What is the D-List? It is a list of sites that have been modified and no longer use a "nofollow" tag in their comment links.
Why is this a good thing? Because your ranking on Google and Technorati is partially determined by the number of sites that link back to you. If you comment on a blog that has not modified their comments to "follow" your link, it will be ignored. But if you comment on "Do Follow" blog, your link will count. This gives your readers a really good reason to leave comments.
It's quite easy to do, here are links to tutorials for the various blog platforms:
- Word Press - get the plug in
- Moveable Type - how to disable the "no follow" code
- Blogger - how to modify the template
You can get several really nifty "U comment - I follow" images, like the one at the top of this post, at Randa Clay Design. Courtney Tuttle has a long list of Do Follow blogs, and tons of other good advice.
This partial DoFollow Blog list is courtesy of Courtney Tuttle and was created originally by Coleen as the D-List.

Blogarama
Today I pursued a link to Blogarama. A blog directory of sorts. I posted links to One Cool Picture After Another, Shirley Twofeathers, and this one. I don't know if much will come of it, but I'm hopeful, and since it is free, and easy to do, I don't think it could hurt.
Here are some highlights from their FAQ. It gives an idea of what is required in order to get noticed at their site.
Here are some highlights from their FAQ. It gives an idea of what is required in order to get noticed at their site.
- What is the 'Score' and what does it mean?
The 'Score' that you see next to each listing indicates that listings overall score. Scores play a part in determining a listings rank in search results. A listing will increase/decrease it's score depending on users ratings, incoming traffic and outgoing traffic amongst other variables. Basically, a high Score is a good score! - How do I get into The Top 100 Most Cool section?
Blogs which have sent the most readers to Blogarama (incoming traffic) via our links will be listed first. The listings overall Score will also play a small part the ranking. - How do I get into The Top 100 Most Popular section?
Blogs which are visited most by Blogarama users (outgoing traffic) will be listed first. The listings overall Score will also play a small part the ranking. - How do I get into The Top 100 Highly Rated section?
Blogs that have the most amount of positive ratings will be listed first. The listings overall Score will also play a small part the ranking.
And here we have a variety of cool banners available to attract that incoming traffic that will give you a chance at that coveted "100 Most Cool" section:
Sudoku of the Day
Here's a nifty little blog enhancement I discovered while exploring Manjeet Say, a funny little blog I found at blog catalog. I got interested in the Sudoku game he had in his sidebar. One of the reasons I was so interested was that I had found two photos of the world's largest Sudoku game, and I was thinking of posting it on Way Cool Pictures. It made sense to me to post the game widget along with the photos. This is what it looks like. Cool huh?
If you are unfamiliar with the game of the Sudoku, the idea is pretty simple. You want to get the numbers 1-9 in every vertical and horizontal row, as well as every small square on the puzzle without repeating one.

A Million Pixels
I found this post at the Million Dollar Website.
Free Ad Space on a Million Pixel Website.
July 26th, 2007
Do you have a website, blog or affiliate program you would like to promote? How about promoting your site for free? If you do then you may have just stumbled on great offer here. I need help testing and promoting a “Million Pixel Website”.
Since starting this blog I have learned one of the hardest things to do is to get your site noticed. Most bloggers are on a tight budget so advertising a new site is usually left up to submitting to directories, so I decided to set up our own “Million Pixel Website” but the only difference is this one will be free (at least for a while).
Interested? Visit the post and get the details on how to sign up.
Here's a screen capture of what the page looks like. See the wierd dude with the bugged out eyes and the tattoos? Those are the pixels I grabbed. I think he stands out nicely in the crowd! I linked it to More Cool Pictures
Getting noticed
I found something cool today. Actually I found two cool blogs. The first one called Blog Dump. It is Blog directory...Featured blogs, not just text links.Video, Music and Picture Sharing too.The main reason to do something like this would be to get link backs (which look good to google and technorati) and maybe a stray reader or two.
The other cool thing I found was Wrong Blog, Wrongblog is an open blog project. Anyone can write a post on wrongblog. No porn or nasty stuff allowed though. Everyone is welcome add your latest post with links back to your blog. or just write it's up to you. Wrongblog has a google page rank of 4 so why not add your two cents today!
I signed up at both sites, and then I couldn't figure out what to post. LOL. As many blogs as I have and I couldn't think of something to post. Now that's just silly!
