Chicken Jalfrezi Curry Recipe

Chicken Jalfrezi Curry Recipe

By the way - this is my favourite curry dish that I've made so far. A lovely Chicken Jalfrezi which was submitted to one of the visitors to the site.

Curry Recipes

Have a look at this new site of mine if your into making curries. There are loads of curry recipes to make and I'd be delighted if anyone wants to send some in for inclusion within the curry recipe site.

This is going to be purely a hobby site for me where I don't make any money but there are no pressures on to obtain good rankings in the search engines.

Google Search

It looks like Google has had another smaller shake-up to its serps results. Google doesn't send me many visitors but when there is some movement it's nice to see if my pages have moved sky-ward.

Doesn't look like it though and some seem to have slipped a bit. Again, less time on producing quality information seems needed and more on links - so frustrating!

Oh well - on with the link swapping.

Frustrated with the Search Engines

This week has seen huge updates with all the leading search engines. Google, Yahoo and MSN Beta to name the larger ones have all changed the serps listings for searches.

Needless to say I've dropped almost all my decent positions and I'm not in the happiest of moods. Google and MSN didn't do all that much for me anyway but I have good listings in Yahoo and they've all gone.

The bit that gets me most with these updates is that they all seem to favour more backlinks and the way they see a sites popularity. For the smaller Webmasters like myself, this is a pain as I've been spending my time, although it's been limited these last few months, on new quality, relevant content rather than link swapping.

It's a shame that rather than content being the foremost positioning tool, swapping links is deemed the best. This just leads to spammy sites obtaining good rankings rather than people who are posting good quality content.

Rant over..... I suppose it's back to swapping links.

Welcome to Gmail

Welcome to Gmail

Gmail is the Google email service. At the moment it's still only accepting new members by invitation only. Every new account gets 6 invitations to send to people. I've a few left. If anyone wants one, let me know.

UK Shopping Channel .info Loads of products from stores in the Uk

UK Shopping Channel .info Loads of products from stores in the Uk

At last I've managed to iron out all the creases and got things up and running, pop in for a look if you wish.

Now how to advertise the new site. I'm going to try a few targetted and also unspecific ads using Google Adwords and thats about it. I'll post how things go later.

I'm going to experiment a bit with things on this site and I'm mainly interested in Google PPC at the moment. It's been a while since I used them and want to see if things have improved any.

Blizg - THE Blogger Directory

Unfortunately, Blizg.com, will close in two days unless the owners decide to sell it.

Such a pity as the site is full of great blog information and contains 1000's of blog detials. The owner is giving it up due to other commitments. Such a shame. Hopefully he'll sell it and someone else will take on the work.
