Who Should You Trust?
I am always on the lookout for new ideas or products such as ebooks, plr packs, or ppc offers items in hope of finding something new and interesting to make money with or blog about (if I am really lucky both).

Any xbox 360 players?

My Plans Have Been Spoiled

How Are My Sites Doing?

Google Page Rank Update Fun
It looks like Google decided to do another round of page rank updates. It looks like it started around February 27th. I was excited to hear the new because the last update was done the first week of January and my blog was too new to get an update.
