Deeksha
Every so often, you hear about something which could make a real difference to the way we live our lives. One such phenomenon is Deeksha, a transfer of energy which nurtures a feeling of “Oneness” in those who receive it. It dampens down the individual ego and encourages us to think of ourselves as part of the wider family of humanity. Which is a useful mindset to have if you like the idea of global peace and harmony, a distant dream though this might seem at the moment.
So how is this energy transferred? You might be thinking of old science fiction movies, with helmets connected by wires and a high voltage transformer. But I’m please to report that it’s a lot less scary than that. Deeksha is simply transferred by a laying on of hands, the same as in Reiki or spiritual healing, with which you may be familiar. Deeksha itself has a similar healing effect, as well as promoting this helpful change in consciousness.
To find out more about Deeksha – and how you can try this amazing energy for yourself – see the latest post on my blog, The Secret Of Life.

Commission Junction Problem
My post today, Money Making Problems With Commission Junction, on my own blog is about my account with Commission Junction being deactivated – with no reason or explanation given.
I have no idea as to why my affiliate account was deactivated by CJ. I have had quite a few orders and have used only approved adverts.
I was wondering if anyone else has had any such problems, with CJ, or knows of anyone who has?
I must say that, up until now, I have been very pleased with them and have received payments on time.
Good blogging,
Mike

Baseball in Fort Wayne is Here! – Sort of
If you know me at all, you know I have been anxiously awaiting publication of my first book; Baseball in Fort Wayne. Yesterday, an envelope from Arcadia Publishing was waiting for me. It contained my advance copy. Words cannot say how cool that is to me.
By the way, the book (Baseball in Fort Wayne) goes on sale the week of February 26th. You can order it from pretty much any on-line retailer. Search for ISBN 073854129X. Keep up to date on the book and events involving it and more at BaseballinFortWayne.com.
Comment Friday a small success
I have chosen to add our first Comment Friday winner and thats the Sun King Poet. His comment was the most intriguing and had me send a few comments back and forth on his blog. At first I was somewhat offended as to what he said out of nowhere, but it was in relevance to his most recent blog posting. After that opinions were shared, about Black History Month and I understood his view. If your looking for some interesting views on that particular subject check out his post and you’ll find me there too!
Thank you to everyone for participating in this, I am very pleased with the results. We had a great day on our blog!

The Secret To Increasing Blog Traffic, Finally Revealed
In my latest blog, I reveal the secret to increasing blog traffic. This tactic, which cannot be employed by all, is guarenteed to be successful ;).
News & Some Traffic Tips
Quick apologies to Matt for not posting more often, my own blogging is taking up more & more time, but anyway…
Both my blogs are doing quite well considering their young age, and sites like BAYB are proving invaluable for picking up some new tips. I’ve put my stats up here, and as you can see, in a little over 2 months I’ve managed to attract just short of 10,000 visitors, which I’m quite pleased with. Blog-Op has now got eight contributors who have all written some excellent articles for improving your blog and your traffic. You too can be one of these authors if you have some tips to share, and in return you get at least 2 links back to your blog along with some free publicity. Contribution is easy, read how-to here.
My miscellaneous blog of hot air, Thermal, is doing better than I could have hoped for, and I now have a lot of regular commenters generating a nice atmosphere, and linking to some really good blogs. The ‘Most Hot Air’ comment leaderboard has proven popular, and as it gives you a Technorati friendly link to your blog, it’s worth de-lurking for a few comments. Thermal is basically intended to be a little diversion from boredom, with some cartoons, interesting links and other random stuff that’s not too heavy – you’re more than welcome to visit.
In terms of getting some good quality traffic (readers and commenters) to your site, I can recommend two things, both of which it may be worth BAYB trying:
- A Bestest Blog donation. The free link is essential, but do consider donating. I donated $50 (10 ‘paid posts’ later I get it back) and my traffic tripled overnight, and has sustained that level. By donating, you get a higher chance of coming out when someone clicks the ‘randomblog’ button. People using the random button earn nothing, no credits or anything. As a result, they are simply looking for new blogs to read, and a far higher percentage read, make comments AND come back. By donating you also become eligible for a fellow blogger to nominate you for Blog of the Day, which happened to me yesterday. This improves your random chances even more, and sure enough my hits have gone up again.
- Make use of the Mr Linky autolinks and weekly memes. As an example, BAYB could take part in a ‘Thursday 13’, by putting up a list of 13 reasons to use BAYB, a ‘Click & Comment Monday’, which is just that, or even a ‘Wordless Wednesday’, where you simply post a photo. You then visit other blogs, and leave your link and a comment on their site, and they then visit yours in turn. You mustn’t spam, but with some thoughtful comments, and a couple of dozen links, you can get more readers to visit. Links left in an autolink box also count for Technorati purposes. I’ve written a short post on how to install these autolinks on Blog-Op.
I hope these tips can do for you, what they did for me, and I’d love to post your tips up on Blog-Op. Enjoy your blogging!
Hit Exchanges And Google AdSense
I have written a little on my own blog today about Blog Soldiers and AdSense.
Blog Soldiers appear to be sending out emails stating that: ‘There is nothing in Blogsoldiers that violates the Terms of Service of AdSense.’
Personally I see this differently having had a ‘warning’ from AdSense, a while back, for using Hit Exchanges such as Blog Soldiers.
I have enlarged on this further on my own blog Mike’s Money Making Mission so I won’t repeat the same here. However, I think members of Blog Soldiers should consider carefully what they are doing if they are using AdSense on their blogs.
I am not saying I am right. I’m just that bloggers should form their own opinion. Google are known to disable accounts that do not comply with their policy.
Good blogging,
Mike.Â
