LM-BLOG RELAUNCH COMPLETE
Site Sponsor :
Welcome to LM-BLOG, we are once again back and posting as of August 8th 2011.
I have managed to let this site really fall away over the past year and know I have lost most, if not all of my regular readers. So I must try my hardest to build this back up to its previous highs when the site got up to an Alexa rank of around 45,000.
There is only one part of the site left to relaunch and this is the logo. I plan to do this when I have some extra spare time so that I can make it look at its best. For now it is not a priority to have a “pretty logo” but more important to give users great posts .

Adsense is back
Well I have decided it is time to re-introduce Adsense to my blog in the hope of monetizing the site a little. To both help finance the site and also too give me some extra cash.
What is Adsense ?
I am going to experement a few different placements, within the layout. Firstly looking at the footer of the page, then moving onto the sidebar (placed roughly where the Adgitize ads are) then I am planning to work the Google Adsense ads into the posts to see how this works.
Read MoreProfits miss expectations – Google
Internet giant Google has reported a sharp rise in profits and revenue in quarterly results that nonetheless failed to impress Wall Street.
Net profit for the three months to the end of June came in at $1.84bn (£1.2bn), up by a quarter on the $1.48bn it recorded a year earlier.
Revenue was $6.82bn, also up sharply on the $5.52bn posted a year ago.
However, analysts had expected better and chose to focus instead on operating expenses, which increased sharply.
As a result, shares in Google fell more than 4% in after-hours trading.
‘Strong growth’
“They’re throwing more money into research and development than people were expecting and a little bit less into sales and marketing,” said Colin Gillis at BGC Partners.
“Google has been pretty clear that it’s going back into investment mode. They added 1,200 people in the quarter, which means more expenses are going to kick in in September.”

Okay I found this site while I was looking around the internet to find out a rough number of Google searches conducted each and everyday. WorldOMeters is an absolutly amazing website with information from almost every aspect of the world.
It uses information provided by governments and agencies and then finds trends and uses these to create expected levels of each thing for each day. These levels are then divided up throughout the day and added “live” to give a fairly accurate account of what the level of each topic is.
IT covers :
- World Population (6 aspects)
- Government & Economics (7 aspects)
- Society & Media (9 aspects)
- Environment (8 aspects)
- Food (7 aspects)
- Water (3 aspects)
- Energy (11 aspects)
- Health (15 aspects)
Obviously with each of these it covers numerous aspects each with its own little live counter. Some counters are even linked back to show you how and where their information was sourced.
Read MoreWhy Get Paid Blog Hosting ? – Part 2
I will continue with my previous post on the reasons to get and not to get paid hosting for your blog. Read bellow for the continuation.
Will my own domain gain me more users?
In many cases people just want to move becuase they believe their own domain will “make them better bloggers” or make “more visitors”. This can be true, i wont deny it, however it is not really guaranteed to happen like this.
Infact it can have the opposite effect. You may want to “make a return” on your investments on hosting that you will just post anything to make sure you have posts (I have done it myself).
A good domain name is memorable so people may return over and over. But content is just as important. People will search hard if they know the content is good so if your members are high already it may be a good move to go private.
