I was actually a bit surprised about the results since I have started the blog not too long ago (January 19th of 2007). # Google Page Rank for this page: Google PR 2 # Yahoo! has found 1,290 links to this site. # MSN Search has found 41 links to this site. # Blogrolling.com has found 3 blogrolls that contain this link. On technorati.com as of today I have 12 blogs linking to me. >As a matter of fact, the number of readers here has doubled every other month since last August. Now, I was wondering if you have a way to quantify the result of your billboard advertising in direct relationship to the web traffic to your blog? Hi Maureen,

Actually your links are better than you state. Here is your info as listed by www.wholinkstome.com: Yahoo! has found 2,770 links to this site. MSN Search has found 1,365 links to this site. Blogrolling.com has found 0 blogrolls that contain this link. You can go to that site and see the actually links if you wish. All I can say is content, content, content. We all wish there was some fast and cheap way to success, but as in life, website or blog traffic success takes time and work. Well....or lots of money. See you Thursday. Mrs. Successful Web Designer Maureen,
