I received an email update from ALGOCO that they have partnered with Ask.com to be the official default search provider. I have been a member of ALGOCO for ages but I did not get anyone to sign up under me because I need a PROVEN product before I am willing to introduce it to others.

So far, I have only run my bar a couple of times. I don’t see how I could earn revenue from it right now. A long time ago, I read that John Chow is one of the ALGOCO members who have the most people under their down line. However, in John’s August revenue report, I do not see an entry for ALGOCO that means he did not earn anything from the programme of at least, it is not significant enough to be reported.

I do not know what the hoo-ha is about with ALGOCO. It is not as if I have not used advertisement bars before and sad to say, none of them lasted. Will ALGOCO survive?

I came across this website that provides advice on Debt Relief and credit card consolidation that I think is very useful to people today. The site is written in simple to understand language and has useful in-depth information on how to overcome debts. God knows that debt is a problem that we have been facing since the popularity of credit cards but can we blame the problem on the ease in applying for credit cards? I don’t think so.

The problem stems from us and our lack of discipline in controlling our expenditure and keeping track of our personal finances. I think that if we are unable to manage our own finances and we fall into debt, then it is better to seek debt relief of at least get a Credit Card Consolidation that would help us manage our debts!

It is not a joke when we are in debt. Being personally still in debt and repaying thousands of dollars every month, I can certainly see the benefit of credit card consolidation. Do you know how many people I come across that got into more trouble for forgetting to repay their debt? Of course, how can they remember when they have so many different debt accounts to take care of?

I think I live on the internet too much when I prefer shopping online over shopping in malls! Ah, the crowd, I can certainly live without it! Christmas is coming soon and it is time to look for gifts. I found out not too long ago that gourmet gift baskets are the “IN” thing to give. I think it is a very cool idea because we can select what we would like to put in the basket and everything else will be taken care of.

Gourmet gift baskets will be especially appreciated by people who love fine wine and rich food, like my dad *ahem* Also, what I like about giving gourmet baskets is that I can order baskets that suit my budget because there are so many types that cater to different recipients.

I checked out iGourmet for the first time this morning. They are a family owned company that specializes in gourmet food and gifts. I believe that should I order my gift baskets from them, my baskets would be packed and wrapped with professionalism.

Browsing through the gift site and checking out the images, I am just so tempted to buy every single one of them but I must resist! Gourmet gift baskets are only for special people in life. Do you agree??

What do you plan to get for your family this Christmas?

Have you ever wondered how many variations of Google are there? Although I have Google on my bookmark, I still find myself typing the address out on my address bar every time I want to Google something and with the speed I type, and this dang keyboard that I changed and STILL not get used to the spacing of the keys, I most of the time type wrongly. It could be anything that starts with a G, have two Os or two Gs and ends with a dot com and STILL get redirected to the real Google Search Engine.

I wonder if others are doing the same thing as I am or if I am the only perpetual mis-speller. Perhaps I am not alone if Google can think of buying up almost all the mis-spelt domain names and have them directed to their real search engine.

One day, I am going to list out all the different spellings and see how many I can discover hehehe I am sooo free!

Over the weekend, I met my old classmate, Wendy. She has clear porcelain skin even back then. Although we are of the same age, I felt tired and old being next to her because of my bad complexion. People who do not know us would surely think that I am older but in fact, I am younger by months. Also, I admit to feeling inferior and suffer from low self-esteem no thanks to the wayward pimples on my face. I know that I can look as beautiful as the next person if only I could rid myself of acne once and for all.

I have tried many over the counter as well as prescription drugs but nothing worked for long. They do give me a slight improvement when first used that make me think that I have found a solution but it goes back to square one after some time.

After meeting Wendy, I came home and once again read up on acne causes. Why can Wendy have such a clear complexion while I can’t? Is it our genetic make up? According to an authoritative website on acne, they are caused by a combination of factors including hormones, excessive sebum, follicle fallout, bacteria and inflammation.

When I first suffered from acne, I was told that it’s the hormones and that everything will pass when I am 20, but it’s been years since then and I am still suffering from it. Personally, when I am stressed out, I can feel acne popping out. I wonder if it is a good enough excuse to still be suffering from acne at my age, that I am under stress!

Although I have a handful of blogs, most of my traffic is from organic searches. It is a wonderful feeling when people look up for information on certain keywords and land in your blog. This is the reason I like the check my traffic stats to see where people come from. This is also the way I managed to discover quite a few sites.

It is surprising that there are many search engines around even though my primary search engine is Google and if Google fails me, I may use Yahoo and Windows Live but judging from people who found my blog, they use other search engines and blog search sites as well. My default blog search, by the way, is Google Blog Search.

Anyway, out of curiosity, I did a search on the internet to see how many search engines there are and came upon this page on Wikipedia. While I know that Wikipedia is not 100% accurate, the list of search engines on the page is pretty exhaustive and there are some that I never even herd before.
