Each of these sites has something in common.

• Blog with a View
  
• Ades Blog
  
• Gina's Rantings
  
• Surfnux.theuseless
  
• True Fresco
  

I'll give a prize to whoever comments with what that common factor is. ;)

I wonder if the Bored Housewife realizes that her blog is worth nearly $50,000?
With a Google page rank of 5, and a traffic rating of 205,708 on Alexa this blog has the potential to really do a lot in the means of increasing awareness on important issues such as: Depression, OxyContin Abuse, or even if she would allow a worthy non-profit organization to puts Adsense on her site she could help raise funds to increase public awareness on certain issues.
We are currently trying to help a non-profit organization get off of the ground. I wonder if this message will get back to her and she would be willing to help?

Check out the Bored Housewife's response to our post. She's fiesty, eh?

Google Grabbed 46 Percent Of Search

By: David A. Utter

The November 2005 figures from Nielsen/NetRatings on search share
didn't change a bit from the month prior, as nearly 70 percent of
searches passed through Google or Yahoo.

Writing about search engine share is like watching Bill Murray in
"Groundhog Day", where every day ends just like the one previous to
it. Maybe Nielsen/NetRatings should start calling it "Google-hog
Day" when releasing a statement on search share and percentages.

At the top would be Google, which snared 46.3 percent of search
queries in November 2005. Almost 2.4 billion searches wound their
way through the Google server farms. Yahoo held its place at second
on this list, with a 23.4 percent share and 1.194 billion queries
received, parsed, and tossed back to the user.

That takes care of the billionaires of search share. MSN Search at
number three picked up 11.4 percent of the November '05 search
market, 583 million queries. AOL Search was tops in single digit
share, 6.9 percent and 350 million searches handled.

MyWay and Ask Jeeves trailed the big four, at fifth and sixth place. Ask Jeeves owns MyWay and powers its search, so maybe the 2.5
percent and 2.3 percent of search share should be combined for the
two. Nielsen/NetRatings then listed EarthLink (which gets its
results from Google), Dogpile (a metasearch site), Netscape (Google
search results here too), and iWon (Ask Jeeves here) as the last
four on the list.

I had lunch today with the owner of Falcon Creek Consulting, a business consultant who connects business owners with venture capital, business development plans, personnel, etc.
Found on their site is the slogan:

Connecting Dreams, Ideas, People and Money
Prosperity Through Relationship

Rick Brugger, the owner, is an amazing guy to work with. He is easy to talk to and is committed to customer satisfaction. A job well done is of greater importance that the profit. I would not hesitate for one moment to recommend him, or his services, to anyone.

As a Christmas present to the Ranseth Family, we created this portal: Ranseth.com.
Our hope is to help connect members of the Ranseth family and help them to stay in touch despite the miles that seperate them.
Joseph Ranseth is the moderator of the site, but you will also find Larry & Val Ranseth, Jennifer Ranseth, John & Dora Ranseth and many others will sign up for sure.
As a side note, these types of sites are becoming very popular as Family History / Genealogy is now the #1 passtime in the United States. A great resource for Family History & Genealogy is the Mormon (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) sponsored FamilySearch.org.

Over the summer we received a phone call from someone from TeammateConnection.com. They were having some difficulties with their site and their current developer wasn't able to solve the problem. We went in a fixed up the errors, and spoke with them regarding some future development needs they had. They are incredible people to work with, but had a real rough time with their original developers...
The exciting thing, however, is that they have a great idea: connecting players with teams, teams with coaches, work out partners, etc. This sort of thing is very much needed and would be of a huge benefit to an organization such as Velocity Sports. We spoke with the owner of TeammateConnection.com last week and shared some ideas with them regarding their site, and the nature of marketing on the web. They also had a lot of great ideas and are working on some plans to launch their project nation-wide. They will no doubt soon have an amazing product that will provide a great service, and become very profitable.

Look for the Teammate Connection in your area, coming soon!
