Good morning. Its always bad to wake up and find your website down.

Willing to pay for a link? Tony Pierce has an eBay auction for a link on his weblog. "Some people have morals, standards, ideals about quality when it comes to linking sites to their Blogs and websites, but I'm an American, I couldn't care less," he says.

Hello, visitors from Webmaster World!

"Whether or not people even know what a weblog is, blogs are already having a massive impact on the lives of almost all web users. This is due to a quirk in the way the world's most popular search engine works. Unbeknownst to most, weblogs have a significant impact on Google search results. With over "150 million search queries per day", that means that weblogs are influencing over a billion Google searches a week." from Google Loves Blogs
