You Need Two Blogs

bloggeroo @bloggeroo (2167) • Philippines 15 Apr 13

As a rule, you need to have two blogs. I call it the Gemini principle. One blog is acting as a landing page for the other. The reason for this is analytics. You want to have a record of the traffic. By having two blogs, your...

Bluedoll Hello Spike, hope you are doing well. I so agree and we do have limited time. I am searching for some answers to that unending question presently. Those of us that can manage our time wisely and know what we want are well off I think.

sirnose I must disagree with you spike, if a writer use a spinner to assist them in creating content there will be no harm done. I use a free one that I found and if you learn to operate it properly and don't expect the spinner to produce a perfect article,...

Uncle Jay, Finding More Value in Your Machine @mythociate (21432) • Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 9 Feb 13

Lacking a car (in this city that's so sprawled-out that going to pretty-much anything big WITHOUT a car takes figuratively as much work as a whole jungle-expedition) makes me feel 'unworthy' when women (who might marry me)...

Nursefrai06 Haha! Pain in the butt it is. What i dont like about it is that when you know that love comes when you're not looking, you're kind of expecting at as well. So its somewhat looking too.

Nursefrai06 That's true about finding someone when you're not looking. It even works for women too. Apparently, guys like the confident independent woman who looks like she doesn't need a man to be happy. But then it only works if you are 100% not looking/not expecting...
