Since I started blogging, I have developed an interest in how all this works and the links that are created between sites are a big deal.  To be a successful blogger can mean a good income and a lot of fun and recognition. There are a lot of people who blog on politics, entertainment, news, products, religion and just about anything else you can imagine.   I keep wondering how they become so popular.  Is it because their blogs are written so well?  Do their gems of knowledge just flow across the ocean of internet and bring them fame and fortune?

Nope!  They work at it very hard and try to find ways to monitor their progress and the propagation of their blogs or websites.  There are services that you can subscribe to that will do that for you and it makes it much easier to track your progress and growth.   One that I have looked at and offers a free week long trial looks really good.  It is called web2.0 brand monitoring service and it will track where your website name or brand name of your product is being used.   Pretty interesting stuff! I think it would be a good tool to see how you are growing your audience and how far your message is reaching. :<3:

We are thinking about selling our business here in Missouri and moving to California to be closer to my Sis and our Bro in law. My hubby has been in business here now for about four years in the computer and cartridge business. The business is doing pretty well but we are tired of living here and I miss my sister (even though she is ogag). :nyeh: We are not sure whether to just start a new business or look for a small business opportunity out there to purchase. My hubby says it is a good idea to have a franchise because you get a lot of support and you have a formula to follow for success. <3

I don’t care as long as we are together and happy! I will write more on this later! :<3:
