Yes, it's been 'love you long time' - I haven't posted on the blog since April 13th and sadly have been a little busy.
I've been in Nelson and Hamilton New Zealand for 4-5 days and have only recently flew back to Australia.
I was over in Nelson to see family and went to Hamilton to see the V8 Supercar Series - held in Hamilton for the first time. And the Hamilton 400 certainly didn't disappoint, plenty of thrills and spills and a huge crowd for the first ever event there.
You can check out my collection of Videos from the weekend at http://www.youtube.com/v8hamo
The NRL is heating up in Australia now, with the Rugby League competition into full swing and into Round 7 - loving it!
I've also recently received a DVD from Joel Comm called AdSense Secrets, it wasn't a bad video and had some good tips about AdSense block placement and color schemes that should be used.
Love you long time
Have fun in Las Vegas
I’d have to say my most enjoyable holiday vacation was to the hot spot of Las Vegas! You’ve heard the talk, you’ve seen the pictures and yes, it’s absolutely true. Late nights, dance clubs, lots of fun and yes – plenty of wagering and gambling action on whatever type of game or sport you like.
While Las Vegas is known as the best gambling strip in the world, many forget the fun and good value shows that are shown nightly on the popular strip. Some of the biggest names in showbiz perform their acts at the largest resorts and getting a ticket can be very inexpensive when compared to seeing their shows outright somewhere else.
Regardless of how long you stay in Las Vegas, you will never get bored! I started at the MGM Grand and found that venue totally comfortable, nice hotel room and amenities but also an enjoyable gaming floor where things weren’t overcrowded and the staff look after you very, very well.
After that I spent some time at the Mirage resort, while closer to the centre of the strip – the Mirage did feel a little bit outdated and thats to be expected, as the venue has been around for quite some time. If you’re considering a trip to Las Vegas, talk it over with the experts at Trusted Tours & Attractions. These guys really help you plan and enjoy your trip in the best possible fashion.

Free Private Label Rights
Been toying with the advantages of free private label rights stuff in the last 24 hours. Managed to find a few online sites offering the PLR stuff for free, however when you are getting it for nothing there is always the risk that the articles have already been used somewhere else.
Where possible I have been using copyscape to see if the material has been used on other sites and I certainly recommend this to anyone thinking of using free PLR articles.
On the other hand if you want to get more original content, try sources like elance.com or getafreelancer.com and have you articles written by inexpensive writers from around the world.
Happy content hunting!

Peer to Peer Social Bookmarking
Ed Dale, Dan Raine and the team over at the thirty day challenge are working on a new setup where members can take advantage of peer to peer social bookmarking.
Social bookmarking has become a huge area for not just internet marketers, but the majority of web site owners. Adding your site, blog or network to a prominent social bookmarking site or 10 - gets you much greater exposure and ultimately link juice in the eyes of Google and co.
However it can be very time consuming. Adding your individual page details to 10 or more major social bookmarking sites, the likes of; technorati, digg, mister-wong, furl, bink etc etc - can take plenty of time. In many cases upwards of 1 hour for each add (to every service)
The Thirty Day Challenge team have created an automatic submission service that not only adds your URL to all the major social bookmarking sites - but also peers it with other members too. So you get added not only on your own accounts - but on others as well, totally multiplying the effect.
The setup is still in the works, to check it out go to www.thirtydaychallenge.com/blog and get on board. Should be good.

The actual International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons is a specialist consumer based group that qualifies and chooses the best and most ethical hair transplant surgeons. So strict is their endorsement policy, they only choose the best qualified and most highly skilled practitioners rather than just letting anyone into the group.
Scheduling for the Win!
Man, I have found it hard to dedicate time to my blogrolls as I restart full-time work. I actually considering selling-off some of my blogs to give me more time and stop me from feeling guilty for not writing a blog.
I read a funny little snippet, I think it was over at Shoemoneys blog - saying that a few bloggers died from a heart-attack because they were so stressed out about blog posts. Pretty scary stuff! I think thats more a case of old world media and the newspapers beating up the story, they do love to beat up internet stories.
Anyway, my answer has been to 'schedule' time to post and work on the blogs. By adding it to the Outlook calender or diary, you can see when you've gotta put the time in and make it happen. Sounds simple, but try it - it does help.
Now all I need to do is find time to use my blogreader (Bloglines) and browse the RSS feeds of the other blogs I check out regularly.

Google algorithm changes? Freshness helps more
I've seen some big changes in Google in the past 48 hours. Some of my websites, a couple of which were top 3 in the SERPS have now falling back to 6th and 7th. Some changes across the board - I feel this change might be related to freshness of the content perhaps.
I have reduced my posting from 2-3 posts a day down to around 1 and I think this may be a contributing factor.
I also think that backlinks from Blogger and free hosting domains have been reduced in terms of authority - so we're seeing sites built with this in the backend start to look like a house of cards.
What have you been seeing in the latest Google search results? Any changes to your rank? Do you think there is a new algorithm in place?

Ive now started back at my fulltime job and its certainly been hard keeping on top of my blogroll. Getting the pay for the fulltime work is great, but you really need to schedule your time otherwise you simply don't get anything done for yourself.
Its the same old story, time rich and money poor or time poor and money rich. Its so true.
Ive been watching a bit of UFC in my spare time, I am really warming to this MMA (mixed martial arts stuff) The contact in this sport is unbelievable and I hope to get into more and more. I caught a re-run of a previous pay per view event and it was top notch, I might even grab some pay per view live events when they arise!
Thats all from me for now, just watching the Friday Night Football - Bulldogs vs Roosters and Willie Mason is going off against his old NRL side. The Roosters up by 20 points at halftime.

Youtube a handy long distance video service
Most of use use YouTube for humours videos, whether that be creating or browsing them. But I've recently started using YouTube as a handy long distance communication tool. Recording short video messages to family, YouTube has the benefit of video conferencing but the convenience of storage - allowing for easy retrieval at any time.
The best part about it, it's free.
So why pay a fortunte to make phone calls or video calls, use YouTube smarty and never miss out on what your friends and family are up to.
To keep things personal, you have the option to keep the videos 'private' to ensure personal messages are viewed publically. I advise you to create a new purpose built account, ensuring your business and humorous video collections are kept seperate to the personal stuff.
