Why technorati authority reduced?

I have been thinking what's wrong with my technorati authority, first it was 168 then 153 and now I see that its reduced to 149. Can anyone tell me what's happening?

If you know about it, you can express your thought about why the technorati authority reduced.

It's the first time I come across there will be reduced instead if increased.

Kettlebell for boys and gals

I am sure everyone know what is kettlebell. I have seen them in the local shopping mall. I always been wanting to know about which is suitable for gal and which is for boys. I found an interesting site to share with you. Kettlebell size for the beginners will tell you which is suitable for boys and gals.

Personally, I think I am suitable to have the 8kg or 12kg. Do you know that kettlebell comes in many sizes? If you think of fitness you can have a good start with the kettlebell. I have check out the local shop for the price of Kettlebell.

Win free domain and webhosting

Yeah I have found a contest to share with you. Bare in mind that contest is going to end soon. It's easy to take part in the contest. Just answer the following questions. This is you chance to win Free Domain and Webhosting.

The questions and my answers

1. Why you want to win this competition? I want to win because this blog is still a blogspot blog. Secluded Habitat is now giving me a chance to win one!

2 .Why you feel you deserve to win the free hosting? It will be used on this blog Sherry Rambling.

3. Why you have not got paid hosting previously? I won two domain and hosting in contests. I know when the domain is about to expired I need to renew them.

4. And finally how would having your own hosting enable you to enhance your blog or service to the community? Frankly speaking, I am still thinking about it.

Your ad box delisted

I have email from PW about my ad box.

In viewing that page, you can see that both the displays and bid values of this box have been quite low over the past 7 days. An advertising area that isn't earning you any money isn't very useful for anyone, so we'd like to give you some tips on increasing the performance of this advertising area.

The easiest thing to do is to consolidate your ad boxes: if you have several ad boxes on several pages, you're really spreading the traffic on your site around, and every box gets a correspondingly smaller slice of the pie. Instead of having multiple ad boxes on multiple pages, putting the same ad box on multiple pages allows all of your traffic to be credited to a single ad box. This is often more profitable for you, and for advertisers, than having many boxes with less traffic.

Similarly, having many ad boxes on the same page dilutes the market. If an advertiser wants to bid on your site, he or she has to compete with every other bidder - and the more advertising areas you offer, the more supply you're providing to meet this demand. Since the bidding on ad boxes increases with competition, the more supply you add, the lower your earnings can be. Again, consolidating multiple ad boxes into one advertising area is a solution here, and may make your site design more attractive as well, as less visual real estate is given up to advertisements.

Consolidating your ad boxes is a simple matter of choosing one of your ad boxes to remain, while deleting the others. You can then put the code for your remaining ad boxes on the pages where the other ad boxes used to be, and all the traffic from these pages will be credited to this single ad box. Just be sure to mention in the ad box description the other sites your ad box will be appearing on, so potential advertisers will know they're getting a deal!

Similar to consolidation is the option to reduce the size of your ad boxes. If you've got an ad box with 4 advertising spots available on it, you could always resize your ad box so there's only 1 spot: this increases competition among bidders and can push prices up. You can resize your ad boxes under "My ad boxes" -> "Edit ad box".

A nice side effect of both resizing and consolidating your ad boxes is that it allows the remaining ads on your site to stand out more, and thus increases their value!

Additionally, minimum bids could be hurting you. If you have a minimum bid on your ad box that is above what the market is willing to pay, it's unlikely you'll get bids. Furthermore, many advertisers like to check out a site while bidding is low, and will stay around as bidding is pushed higher again. If you remove or lower the minimum bid on your ad box, you may see better performance from it!

Finally, since your traffic levels are low, you may want to consider advertising your site on Project Wonderful! Using the funds in your account to advertise the site your ad box is on can have the effect of drawing more traffic towards it, thereby increasing the value of your ad box! It's an easy way to draw more attention to your projects.

Please note that if the performance of this ad box remains low during the next 7 days, then this advertising area may be delisted. If that happens, the box will be deactivated, and you'll have to reactivate it manually if you wish to continue with it. Please consider taking some of these suggestions into account, as if we delist a box more than three times in a month, it will be permanently deleted.

We want to be clear: this is not a matter of delisting your ad box because its traffic is low: even sites with low traffic have value, and can be profitable! Rather, it's a matter of helping you best monitize this traffic you have, replacing under-performing ad boxes with ones that can work better for you and your sites.

We hope this helps! Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns. And thanks for being a Project Wonderful publisher!

Create Contact Form for Heart Random

As you know that I have a new blog Heart Random and now I like to introduce my new baby to you. That's NameSherry dot com. Both are contest that I won and both valid for year. So which mean that next year Sept/Oct I will have to pay for the renew domain myself.

Oh yeah having tough time to add Contact Form for Heart Random. I am doing it with help of my friend Pangeran. You can see that the contact form is there but it will not work. I wonder why it's works on Pangeran's blog.

Here's the feedback from Shann Host about the contact form.

Hi,

Check the installation procedure you did for the cforms.
Installation of plug-ins like this occurs problem when the program is not properly installed or uploaded in the blog site.
It has nothing to do with the hosting provider , instead the installation procedures itself.

But if you really having a hard time installing contact form in your blog, you might want to try this;
http://kontactr.com/

It's a lot easier. You just need to sign-up, create a Contact Form Page in your blog, then paste HTML code.

Safety precaution when staying alone in Hotel

Just got an email from friend about safety precaution when you are staying in a hotel alone. I think ladies should read about this. Here's what happened to this lady...

Ladies, you must read this for safety precautions when staying in a hotel. Please keep in mind when you are traveling and forward to female friends and colleagues who may travel alone. To the guys, share this with your sisters and all those women you know. I've always used the menu which hang outside your doorknob to order breakfast when on business trips. I was recently staying at a well-known hotel and I ordered room service for the next day On the flyer (which ask your about what you need to eat) then placed it at your door knob outside your room. On this order form, one writes her name, how many persons will be eating, your room number, time of delivery, etc. I hung it on the outside of my door for collection - it was a mistake! I had given someone all the ammunition that he would need. That someone went to my door-tag.... got my name and room number.... And then told the front desk that he was my husband (remember my tag showed 1 female name) and that he needed a new key. The clerk ... WITHOUT ASKING FOR ID OR CALLING MY ROOM .. GAVE HIM MY ROOM KEY! At 2 a.m. I was awakened by my door opening (luckily I had put the security bar across) with a man's hand trying to figure out how to get the bar undone. I started yelling at him and told him that I was on the phone with the police. He shut the door and left. I called down to the lobby and spoke with the Front Desk - I wanted to alert Security about the incident. The hotel staff person said and quote, "Oops, sorry about that" then hung up. Well, let's just say that I was both terrified and angry the rest of the night. Next morning, I spoke with a Hotel Manager whose eyes almost popped out of his head when he learned that his clerk had given an unidentified stranger a key to my room. I am glad that I am typing this to all of you with my 2 year old kid on my lap. I don't want to think of what might have happened if the safety chain/bar had not been secured.

Please forward this to your female family members & friends. Better be safe than sorry.

Baby Carrot in the supermarket

Just got an email from my friend love to share this with you. Personally, I don't eat baby carrot even though they sell it here. It's kind of expensive that's why I don't buy them to eat.

How about you?

Regard the email, well you read as following...

The following is information from a farmer who grows and packages carrots for IGA, METRO, LOBLAWS, etc.

The small cocktail (baby) carrots you buy in small plastic bags are made using the larger crooked or deformed carrots which are put through a machine which cuts and shapes them into cocktail carrots most people probably know this already.

What you may not know and should know is the following: once the carrots are cut and shaped into cocktail carrots they are dipped in a solution of water and chlorine in order to preserve them (this is the same chlorine used your pool) since they do not have their skin or natural protective
covering, they give them a higher dose of chlorine.

You will notice that once you keep these carrots in your refrigerator for a few days, a white covering will form on the carrots, this is the chlorine which resurfaces. At what cost do we put our health at risk to have esthetically pleasing vegetables which are practically plastic?

We do hope that this information can be passed on to as many people as possible in the hopes of informing them where these carrots come from and how they are processed. Chlorine is a very well known carcinogen.
