This is funny,

I was trolling DMOZ to see if cheaptravelforums.com was ever added to DMOZ. Of course it was not yet listed but I found something else to amuse me.  I found a site called Travel.org.  I thought for sure with a name like that it would be a kick ass site.  Well I was wrong, dead wrong!.

1996 Like a mother!.

and if you think that’s bad.  If you scroll down a little more there is link which says

Click here for the Internet Archive “Wayback Machine” to see what TRAVEL.ORG looked like back in 1996

Nothing is different!.  Its the same site

Ladies and Gentlemen Travel.org is truely an internet Dinosaur.  Its a shame too because that name is priceless.  They can probably hire a real web designer with the amount of money they can get from that domain name.

I was trolling around on the DP forums today and saw a couple of post mentioning a PR update. I then did a bit of Digging on my sites using http://www.astawerks.net/pagerank and saw that as of right now nothing really updated except http://www.cheaptravelforums.com which went from a PR N/A to a PR 3. I am really hoping that the rest of My sites move up a Bit. Feel free to post your New page ranks here in this post.

As many of you already know, I created a new Social book marking site almost two weeks ago

http://www.upchuckr.com. In the past Social book marking was not really my thing, maybe only Digg
because it was a fun way to burn time and catch up on news at the same time.

I have been doing my research and trying everything that I can do build more back-links and traffic
to my sites. So I know I am a little late but these past few weeks I have been going over
a good deal of the products on my store Astawerks.com and adding them to Social book marking sites.
The way that I have been doing this is using a website called Socialposter.com.

Socialposter.com basically helps you to post your bookmarks to over 60 Book marking sites.
Sites range from Digg Like sites to Del.icio.us type sites. Everything has to be done manually
so it will take a while but once you go through every site you can 60 extra back-links to your page.

Now the best part about Socialbook marking is really starting to take off for me. My shop was
getting on average 500 - 700 visits per day. Now I am getting a lot more visits from SU, Del.icio.us, and
other bookmarking sites. Not to mention the extra Google traffic that this is bringing to me.

Between adding sites VIA popular Directories and Bidding directories like Astawerks.net you will
be able to increase your traffic to Web 2.0 way!.

So again Socialposter.com and Stumbleupon.com and you can’t go wrong!

Since joining the Microsoft affiliate network I have made a few sales and the payout is great.  $35 per sign-up.   Microsoft will give you $50 in free clicks for their network so you basically have nothing to loose. I signed my shop www.astawerks.com for the program and you should check it out as well its not to bad.
