Find.com

It's been awhile since my last update. I have been busy pursuing one of my goals and once I get good results then I will be sharing it with you.

For today, if you have not yet heard about it, I would like to share with you what I found. Take a look at the screenshot below.




It is clean and professional looking, right? Well, it is a new search engine and it's name is quite easy to remember, Find.com

One of the features I noticed immediately is that there are 2 ways to search. First is you can use the search box provided. Enter the keyword to search and you'll get fast and accurate results.

The second way to search is using the toolbar. Simply append your keyword to the main url, http://find.com/, and the results you'll get will be the same as that of using the search box. So when you want to search for the term 'earn money online', you can immediate enter http://find.com/earn money online on your toolbar.

To Earn Money or To Acquire Page Rank

This question has put me into a standstill mode, To Earn Money or To Acquire Page Rank? If you are a website owner, particularly a blogger, who acquired a PR then lost it then maybe you are in the same dilemma.

Few minutes ago, while website hopping, I found an interesting note that says, "If you want to earn money online through your blog through paid links then forget page ranking." Somehow, I agree with this. PR does not guarantee earning. It may help add value to the links bought from the website but it can sometimes hinder blogger from fully monetizing the blog through various means since according to so-called experts, there are do's and don'ts in order not to be penalized by G.

When a person creates a website, particularly blog, one of the reasons is to earn money. Since blogging is heavily promoted as a means to earn money online, most newbie bloggers' goal is to write quality post in order to monetize their blog through paid blog post, paid links and other ads serving programs.

Instead of an 'or' in the middle, an 'and' will be very welcome.

But when it can't be done, which one would you choose, To Earn Money or To Acquire Page Rank?

Which one will yield more earnings?

Proxied Domains

Two of my domains registered with GoDaddy will expire this month. Since I was not able to fully put them into good use, I am having doubts whether to renew or not. In case I renew and decide later to sell, I can not do it since I have lost my access to the domain proxy details.

I have not realized that this will cause me a headache. I really wanted to keep the domains but I don't want to be paying the somewhat-a-little-bit-too-high-price-compared-with others for WHOIS privacy. Unfortunately, I can not cancel since WHOIS protection is separate from the GoDaddy account. This leaves me with 2 options: to let the domains expire or automatically renew.

I decided to just let the domains expire. I wish the new owner/s will be able to put them into good use.
