Traffic Exchange programs

In looking for some inexpensive ways to generate traffic to my Joyous Candle website, I have recently started to explore traffic exchange programs. Most of these programs carry empty promises of lots of traffic for relatively little effort (usually by surfing). Now it is true that while surfing these traffic exchange programs, you are inundated with [...]

Thanksgiving

As I approach tomorrow, which is Thanksgiving in the United States – a time which families come together and enjoy each other and the blessings we have, I am finding a potential new extended family.

Joyous Candle

I’ve been doing a bit of work on Joyous Candle again. Tweaking things here and there. It’s pretty cool that I have page rank of 3 in Google right now. My Alexa score isn’t so hot at the moment, but that will come in time. Over the past week, I’ve been working on more advertising for [...]
