Sitting idle, thinking what to do. I decided to start making some new wordpress themes. It’s called the Green Leaves wordpress theme. It’s a pretty neat and clean theme. Has lot of space. The sidebars and text area are well balanced. Basically, a two column wordpress theme. The theme is not very complex. It’s simple, yet sweet….I guess.

Know what? Please try this theme. At least once. I would definitely like to hear from you. It would be a moral booster. Thanks in advance. Here is the quick preview of the theme:

Green Leaves, being my first theme, i would request people who use it, not to remove the credits from footer.

Alright, I really do not hurry into things as and when they are launched. It’s been almost four weeks since WidgetBucks was launched. All this time, i kept looking for pros and cons. Advantages and Disadvantages, Features, Payouts etc etc. I think i am going to like it.

What i have noticed is that WidgetBucks ad units will do much better on products related pages, specially the electronic items or gadgets sites. Yes, i am talking this in comparison to other niche blogs.

I’ve added WidgetBucks on some of my sites. Hopefully i will update you sooner with how well the things are going with WidgetBucks.

If you still haven’t signed up with WidgetBucks, i guess it’s time…

WidgetBucks give you a high PPC, infact it beats Adbrite And Adsense (well atleast they say so, i ain’t sure.) Besides that you get a $25 bonus in your earnings if you sign up now. Since you got nothing to lose, i think the time is right for you to get started with WidgetBucks at once.

I’ll update you with the FAQ’s and more info regarding WidgetBucks, my earnings, means and averages. Honestly, we would like to hear your experience on WidgetBucks as well.

Alright, Finally the Google pagerank October’2007 is through. I have been through all my websites. And the result has not been very pleasing. The new websites i had gained some PR or other. But old and established websites lost it’s PR in a big way, which unfortunately has hit me hard and made me very upset. So has been the case with many fellow members who owned some big and established websites. Again it’s a thumbs down for Google PR update. Unfortunately Google algorithms are not capable enough of distinguishig between original and copycat, good and bad, deserving and well deserved, etc etc…

After this PR update, i have analyzed few new things which i though Google prescribed for a good site (to get good ranking in SE and PR) but Google failed miserably.

Firstly, every single time someone asks as to how to get good rankings, the answer has been “Content is the King” . Well this theory can kiss my ass. Let’s admit it, Google has no content on it’s homepage. It deserves no more than PR1 or PR2. But i guess algorithms does not even consider google’s own pages. So, unfortunately it has PR10. On other hand sites like Yahoo goes down to PR9…I smell jealous google algorithms running here. Why, coz Yahoo is a better site. BOTTOMLINE!!!!!

I wish i could show you some sites of mine. One with original, information rich articles and a great resource for whole community. That site went down from PR5 to PR3. And another site, wordpress installed, default post of “Hello World” and nothing else…that damn site goes from PR0 to PR2. Ha Ha Ha…Sorry Google, but you’re way to funny! I wish to throw in some cents in your hat for the funny circus act.

Alright, what else. Link Building…Eh??? Well Google is against paid links. Probably it doesn’t like people earn a little. It thinks that people will give free links from their sites just like that. Huh? Why not? In that case let me see, since paid links are not allowed, i am expecting Google to give me a free homepage link just for my thoughts.

I don’t understand how these paid links, should matter Google. If it effects the way your search engine rankings work, well that’s your problem. The simple thing is to get your algo’s working right. You have so many purchased intelligent minds. Pick up the URL’s from sites, not the anchor text, work out your way yourself but instead you start making a mess of others life. What did you get? Nothing… What did others get…. monetary problems, tensions, headaches, disappointing days, etc etc.

I am getting angrier writing all this stuff, so i will cut down this analysis short. However i would like to mention one strong point here. Google’s Directory takes away all it’s content and categories and blah blah from Dmoz directory. And guess what, it’s PR8….Huh?

Bottomline: Big G, You’re going down in most hated list of webmasters.

Okay, there had been few problems with the counts for the SiteExplorer results recently. There wasn’t a small problem mind you. I’d noticed count of 400K wrongly represented due to some bug making it just 16K. Earlier i thought that Y! also is going Big G’s way. But Thanks God it’s not! Huff…

Message from Yahoo! Search:

Recently, some of you noticed changes in counts for Site Explorer results, where the counts were different for logged-in users versus logged-out users.

While the counts have been incorrect in some cases, the actual returned results have been correct. However, we did roll out a product fix yesterday and will be rolling out a couple more over the next few days to resolve this difference in counts some of you have observed.

Please disregard any counts for inlinks reported by Site Explorer from October 11 through next week. Thank you for raising this issue.

Next week…. Well, am guessing that SiteExplorer shall be okay by first week of November. Waiting….

According to Forbes recent study and blah blah… There are 946 people in this world that are worth over $1,000,000,000. No prizes for guessing who the “Most Richest Man” is? For the 13th time in a row, Bill Gates is still the Richest Man of all. He alone is worth $56 Billion. And guess what, Bill Gates will still be the richest man if he throws away a billion bucks on my face. Shweet!!!

India’s Lakshmi Mittal is the 5th Most richest in the world. Something to cheer about. However the surprise package was Carlos Slim Helu from Mexico, who was a billionaire last year but was worth $19 billion bucks. This year, he is the 3rd richest with his worth being $49 billion. Wow! That’s an incredible growth. If this is how he is going to prosper then beware Mr. Gates, this year maybe your last year as “RichestMan” title holder.

Alright, Here is a list of top 10 richest men, along with their worth.

1. William Gates III is worth $56.0 billion dollars.
2. Warren Buffett is worth $52.0 billion dollars.
3. Carlos Slim Helu is worth $49.0 billion dollars.
4. Ingvar Kamprad & family is worth $33.0 billion dollars.
5. Lakshmi Mittal India is worth $32.0 billion dollars.
6. Sheldon Adelson is worth $26.5 billion dollars.
7. Bernard Arnault is worth $26.0 billion dollars.
8. Amancio Ortega is worth $24.0 billion dollars.
9. Li Ka-shing is worth $23.0 billion dollars.
10. David Thomson & family is worth $22.0 billion dollars.

Time for some money counting……

The average net worth of all the billionaires was $3.6 Billion and the combined net worth of the 946 billionaires was $3,500,000,000,000 ($3.5 Trillion). Whoooops!!!
