Well this past week has been one of ups and downs for websites and blogs. Much speculation and theories about why Google is doing what its doing. I lost a point on each of my websites, but my 2 blogs went up for now. This one went up a point and my beauty blog went from a n/a to a 3 for the time being. It’s anybodies guess as to the stability of these new page ranks.

I was surprised to see my profile page on blog catalog go from a n/a to a 4. Doesn’t make since to me, but that’s not saying much because nothing makes since anymore. I’m sure when the dust settles all the seo experts will have an answer for us or maybe if we’re lucky Google or Matt Cutts will explain what has happened. Most people are happy to see their ranks moving back up somewhat.

It’s been a blow to many and it’s a bitter pill to swallow for the masses that have worked so hard to get those links to their site. I really should spend more time trying to figure out how to get some decent links, but I’m lazy sometimes and I figure eventually it will magically do it itself. Well I still believed in fairy tales till a year ago also so go figure.

I personally don’t think page rank matters like it once did. It seems to have been devalued. Getting that traffic moving is so important and there for awhile I was receiving a lot of traffic on my beauty blog, but it has dramatically declined since they gave me a pr 3. I prefer the traffic. I did manage to lower my error count on this site to 2 and I really can’t change those till the posts drop from this page then it should validate.

I am thinking about changing my regular websites to blogs, but I’m not quite sure how to do that yet unless I simply change them over and just add each article as a post, but since there are so many pages it would probably look like spamming to add them all at once, but at least I could update them a lot easier and maybe eventually build them back up. Another project to take up all my time.

I know everyone has to replace their kitchen faucets at some point and when we remodeled our kitchen and put in our new sink we had the standard faucet which I totally hated because we could barely move it back and forth and we had a water purifier on it to boot. So we decided we needed a new faucet and went shopping.

We looked at all kinds, but when I saw the Moen pictured below I knew that was the one for us. It was also on sale which made it even better plus we also got a rebate through the mail. I love my faucet and we have had it for several years now and it’s so easy to maneuver around. I wanted to go back and buy a couple more for Bill’s kids for Christmas presents, but Bill thought they might want to pick out their own.

Moen faucets are great and they have so many designs to choose from. I love shopping for household stuff and I could stay in those home improvement stores forever, but it’s just as much fun checking out all this stuff on the internet because you can comparison shop. When I was visiting the site above I also checked out the Moen shower accessories because we definitely need a new shower system and they look pretty cool.

I guess I’ll start dropping a few hints for Christmas and that will definitely be on my list. Well I’m gonna go check out some more stuff so I’ll type at you later. I’m not a very good photo taker, but I love that style and it’s so convenient.
