If you have to go into detail, I think it might be a pretty interesting activity. <br /><br />At work, it gets a little emotionally exhausting to hear all the whiny complaints about health problems but when I get to hear some of the other stuff, it's really interesting. Perks me up. If I were a priest, which I could not be, I'd constantly be saying, "and go on....." <br /><br />My most interesting so far was the lady who shot her boyfriend while having gun sex. So interesting that she got a no true bill from the Grand Jury. Even his kids came to her defense. Maybe they wanted him out of the way.<br /><br />No, I'm not giving any confidential info here, that was on the news. I can't tell you anything I heard.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-45976569718348867732009-12-03T22:37:21.925-06:002009-12-03T22:37:21.925-06:00Hi Coreen. What's your web site?
A web site i...Hi Coreen. What's your web site?<br /><br />A web site is just some characters on the computer. What you're really paying for is a computer to hold those computers and phone lines to connect it in with everyone that is looking for it. It doesn't matter if that computer holds one web site, or 100.<br /><br />Google is like a tv show, it's trying to attract an audience so that it can sell those customers to their customers, advertisers. To create that audience they have to deliver really a really good answer to a search question.<br /><br />So if you have your site set up so that it's really clear what you're selling, and there are people out there looking for that, you have a good chance of connecting. While paid advertising helps, first of all you need to be really clear about what you're selling.<br /><br />So it sounds like you are clear and have been successful in connecting to people looking for you.<br /><br />The sites I work on usually have tens or hundreds of thousands of users who are looking for special services. Products, or information, or being able to connect to other people with the same interests. Like teachers, or furniture shoppers, or doctors that prescribe radiation therapy to remote treatment centers. As you can guess my sites have a lot of special code to carry all of this out. That's where it gets expensive.<br /><br />Does that answer your question?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-48840550242713868302009-12-03T22:03:18.024-06:002009-12-03T22:03:18.024-06:00Just checked in before I shut down & saw your

But thats a subject for another day.<br /><br />Actually am proud of my little website, which<br />was my content, made into a website by a very capable woman & 'optimized' so I am right up there with the Find Law created sites, which are very expensive to maintain.. if you understand what I am trying to say. <br /><br />And that I am actually getting clients<br />from it further amazes me.

I converted to Catholicism when my son was young. The one thing I always had a hard time with was confession. In fact the only time I went was when I joined the church. I still believe if I have something to confess, I'll go directly to God and I don't believe I'm sinning for doing that.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778066792332825411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-37657667572619370232009-12-03T21:28:32.311-06:002009-12-03T21:28:32.311-06:00Don,
