Say Bye-bye to Rankings and Google Page rank.

Check out the Page Strength Tool.

The tool estimates using criteria from humans (del.icio.us tags, Alexa Rank, mentions at Wikipedia, etc.) and machine-assembled data (like pages indexed, internal link percent and even PageRank itself). It is by no means perfect or entirely accurate, but it is a significant upgrade from Google’s often inaccurate and infrequently updated PageRank score (and it’s fun to use).

The most important thing in search engine optimization these days is to see if the keywords you’ve optimized for are bringing traffic and if they convert for you. BLOGGED is a google Page rank 6 but it’s page strength is 4.5/10.
which basically means:

Your site is having an impact and may even be a leader in your field (depending on how big or small that field is). Keep on this path; it’s clear that the effort you’ve put in is producing results.

At Citypixel.com:

citypixel is truly and literally an entension of the world we live in - just pixelated.

Built pixel by pixel instead of with brick and mortar, but still with streets and buildings and shops and taxis.

citypixel allows you to use the Internet like you were walking down the streets of a major city. There is advertising and hotels, public works and transportation, and art and interaction. You can use the payphones, for free, to look up a business or another pixelcitizen. Or network and socialize with friends and collegues. You can shop and…well do whatever it is you do!

This site looks so cute but it’s just another way to view a website with ads. A Sim City with ads. Very cute.

Opera 9 has just been released.

Why should I download Opera when I already have another browser?

If you use Internet Explorer you are more likely to be subjected to dangerous software such as viruses and spyware. Opera is more secure, and takes up less of your computer’s memory. With its unique features Opera lets you browse the Web more efficiently and helps you stay more productive online. Opera also has an integrated e-mail program so you no longer need to use one program for browsing and another for e-mailing, unless you wish to do so.

so what is great or new in Opera 9? Some new features are:

1. BitTorrent

You don’t need a separate BitTorrent application to download large files. Simply click a torrent link and start the download.

2. Thumbnail preview

It is easy to have many tabs open at once in Opera. But exactly which tab had that video you wanted? Hover your mouse on any tab to see a thumbnail preview
