Confusion Says

New web service tracks search ranking

I just discovered an awesome new Search Ranking reporting tool named SearchRascal. This sounds like a really nice service, but my main question is how is this site going to be able to track all the terms people are constantly searching? If they can keep up with that, they will be fine I think.

Granted that this service is new, I really struggle to imagine how profitable of an area this will be. It is a good idea, especially since it appears that you can save your keywords and such, but how useful will this really be? I really do hope it becomes a successful service. I guess I’m just used to the way Alexa presents you with a nice graph of the traffic of the particular website, which I think maybe a good idea for them to do with the keywords that way you see how much traffic that particular keyword is getting. Alexa does not do this, so it seems like an area that can be exploited. My main concern is the impact of knowing how long you have been ranked a certain way on Google, Yahoo! or Windows Live.

As I have said before, I really do hope this succeeds, and I really hope Alexa gets some competition. We will see in the coming months.

Rowing For Hope

I’m a very big supporter in people that do this type of event for cancer research. Paul Ridley, wants to row across the ocean, which would be 2,950 miles according to his website solo. In case you didn’t know, that is an insane amount of rowing and also many days of rowing.

The guy is not asking for much, he is asking for donations, which I believe people should donate. Anyone that is willing to sacrifice their time and effort in order to help better the lives of other people is a very good person in my book.

So please join me in helping support Paul Ridley in his quest to row across the ocean. It doesn’t matter what you donate, even if is it just a little. Anything would help him.

In case anyone is wondering, I am not at all affiliated with this person. Heck I don’t even know who he is, but as far as I’m concerned he is trying to help, so I will help him help.

Also, to get this more into the press view, please digg this story on Digg.
