A Project To Promote Our Community
This project was born out of necessity. I am fully against Google and their page rank system. I believe it is the people that count, not Google. I use Yahoo for all of my searches now and I will ask all of you to do the same thing (any search engine but Google). This project is to promote blogging friendships and the betterment of humanity.
My site is considered completely irrelevant by them. Is what I write irrelevant? Be warned that answers.com also uses Google. I am done with Google. I will keep my Gmail account and that�s it. I will publish a post listing all the posts on Saturday, October 27th.
The rules are simple. Write a post promoting goodness and friendship in the blogosphere. If some of you have any ideas on how or why Google should be boycotted, by all means, please do so. Keep in mind this isn�t about hating Google, it�s about solutions and friendships.
Once you are done, leave me a comment with the url of your post. Be creative and show your love! I am tagging a lot of you! Feel free to double tag the same people. That�ll make it even better. You don�t have to tag anyone if you don�t want to. Write something positive for our friendship and the betterment of humanity. Don�t do it for me, do it for everyone! Here�s my contribution:
Why I Love My Blogging Friends
I was going to write a post full of little stories about each of my blogging friends. Inevitably, the post would be 30 pages and someone would be left out. I have written a more general post to avoid length. I will be dedicating individual posts to and about all my friends regularly in upcoming articles.
Blogging to me is about sharing and caring. The incredible people I have met are some of the the finest people I have ever known. I have three new friends that have touched my heart so much this week, I have to mention them. All of you have touched my heart! I am already feeling guilty for not mentioning hundreds of you ![]()
My friend Rolando from RPlayground has been so heavily influential on me I am without words. He inspires me to be a better human being. My friend Jamilla from What I Feel, I Just Blog It is so giving to everyone she meets it is truly heartwarming. She�s a shining star! My friend Opal Tribble|Vegan Momma is a great woman who just lights up the blogosphere with her kindness!
If you don�t know these people, go meet them! The visit will leave you filled with warmth and happiness.
The people who are changing the face of blogging are super friendly, kind and caring! WOW! I am so excited right now it is amazing. We are helping make the world a better place. It�s happening right now. I�m going for a new niche because it is now the time. Blogging Ethics|Blogging Friendships!
My first good friend on line was Adria from the blog InCinq. I didn�t really have any friends when I met her. She just stepped into my world and changed my entire view of blogging. She is a great, talented blogger who is definetly worth knowing! Thanks Adria! If it weren�t for you, I wouldn�t be blogging.
The next person I became friends with is Marzie (Genie Princess) from Mariuca: Wishing on a Falling Star. Marzie is very giving and has been so good to me. She taught me how to comment and I look up to her for being so nice to everyone! Again, I wouldn�t be blogging if it weren�t for her! These two women are some of the web�s finest!!!!!
Alright, I wasn�t going to write about these people originally but it is just coming out this way.
The Nafasg team are the finest group of people running one blog on the entire Internet. I cannot say enough good things about them! If you visit them, they will not disappoint you! They are helping lead the charge for helping humanity! We are all helping in our own way.
I have decided to not take this blog in a financial direction. The truth is, it doesn�t fit. It doesn�t feel right. Maybe I will start a money blog but it will not be this one. I am officially giving up on Google. I�m here for my friends. It�s all that matters to me. Blogging isn�t about money. it�s about community.
It�s time to get serious about Global change for the betterment of humanity. NOTHING is more important than that. I don�t care about money. I cannot care about a piece of paper. If you do, get some help. We need money but should not care about it. You care about people and kittens, not money!
There are over 100 million bloggers. We should support each other and make a group effort to spread love, not war. We can complain about the World�s issues but it won�t help. Instead of writing a 1000 posts about why George Bush should be impeached, promote positivity instead.
This blog promotes goodness. I try to avoid pointing out problems.
We Are One People
Instead of writing about how different we are, I am about how similar we are. It’s great to be proud of your heritage. What I am telling you is that I am proud to be a human being from the planet Earth. Being a white guy from the United States gives me a responsibility. I am part of the majority here. That’s why I support all races.
I’ll say it like this:
There are hardly any white Americans supporting the minorities here. That’s a big problem. I hear white people complaining about how there are too many immigrants. WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!!!!!! This is America. We are the melting pot. It makes me sick that people think they are special or better than others.
Who’s fault is it that minority based neighborhoods have high crime rates? It is the white Americans who display the disease of racism. We are not making everyone feel welcome here! They are welcome here. I stand here and proudly say I love all people from all races and religions. We are all equals.
If you think I’m wrong, please get some help. Make some friends with a blog. You will find how much alike all of us are. Before blogging, I was missing out on so many things. We are all here together. This blogging platform is such a powerful medium of communication it is unbeliveable.
Who would have ever dreamed how much of an impact blogging would have? It is simply awesome. I stand as one person with all of you. We are in this thing together. Let us all stand together, regardless of where were from. Let’s join as one race. We are the human race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m not feeling very well right now and I have to cut this article much shorter than I want to. There are lots of my friends not listed. I love each and everyone of you. I think I may have the flu so I will get some rest. I always feel guilty for not writing a hundred page post about all of you’I will be dedicating posts to all of you coming up.
I am asking the following people to participate in this project. There are really no rules. Do what you want. It’s about the community as a whole and all the wonderful individual people in it. Thank you all for being my friends. The following list of great people are all great bloggers whom I will support until my last breath ![]()
What can we do to change the world? Why are your blogging friends important to you? How can bloggers help to prevent wars? These are just a few questions to consider when writing. Try not to write a super long post. Bloggers tend to like shorter more concise articles. If you do want to write a 200 page thesis, go ahead! I will read it but I can’t promise you that every one will.
I didn’t want a linked badge when starting this project. My friends Nafasg made a nice badge but it only linked to them. In lieu of these cicumstances, I felt terrible telling them that I couldn’t use it. I buckled down and a little html to fix everything! Thanks Nafa! Here’s to humanity! Trinity also made one! ThanksTrinity!

Hi Bobby!
Tomorrow I am going to be a Grandmother!
I added the link to my blogspot site, would you create a button or badge I can add to my site, please? I wanted to add it above my other buttons (badges), whatever you call them. It would be cool to have a Friendship Badge. Forgive me if you already have one and I just did not notice. I have been so busy getting ready for my new Grandchildren….TWINS:
Take care my friend,

Hi Bobby,
What a dork I am. I have read this post many times and just missed the “We Stand As One Our Blogging Community.!” You see, I am so fatigued and do suffer from short term memory. It increases with stress and fatigue:

This is a lovely idea. I don’t think much of pagerank. It seems to be adsense has a done a lot more harm to the blogging community than pagerank. Once people become obessed with seo and adsense they stop creating a real blog and it all becomes about pagerank then. But it begins with making money instead of building anything creative or interesting. I will put up a link to this project and add the banner. Might not get it done today as I should get on my way to work soon.

Let me know when you have the badge done so I can get it on the post! This to help perpetuate a movement. I don’t care about having a badge with code that links, just one to represent a powerful movement. Also, there are other movements I will join with too. Thanks Nafa! This is for the community!!!!!!!!!

I have been writing about this stuff ever since I started blogging. It’s getting much more focused because you and many others have all naturally become interested in the same thing. I didn’t start anything but the mission has become clear all on it’s own. We all inspire one another and that’s all I want out of this project. I’m just watering the blossoming flowers of love!!!!!
No one is as important as the children of our world. I admire you for caring so much!!!!!!

Thanks Suzie! We shall see if Google makes any good changes. Did you know that they cancel thousands of adsense accounts each month? I had one for about a week They stopped it. They said I had invalid clicks. When this happens to you, Google sends you to a forum to complain!!!!!!!! You can complain once and then they will ask you to not complain ever again. As long as I am Bobby with my SSN, I can never have an adsense account for the rest of my life. That is a crime. I offered my server logs to prove I did nothing wrong and they asked me to stop asking!!!!! I want my $12.00

Hi Sue! I’m not really sure what a link farm is. I know all the people I link to so I hope my site isn’t a farm…LOL!!!! I’m a Yahoo guy now. You can find the same stuff!
I look forward to your article! I could make my homepage static with one click but I’ve read negative things about either way. I think it’s best not to change it after it’s established

I’m thinking about having another site as a money site. I’m not so sure that a monetized same old-same old site will ever make me any real money. I’m thinking maybe a partnership site with a team of folks might do more business. I really don’t know yet.
I’ve thought about spending $77.00/month and have Yaro teach me! I’ll come by and I’ll definetly check out that plug in!

((I?m not really sure what a link farm is.))
A link farm is a term coined in the 90’s on the internet for web pages that had identical link pages (copy and paste some html code from a website) and you instantly had hundreds of links and your link would be added to the code which would get you backlinks as well. Think of a Meme only on a HUGE scale with all people you’ve never met and no actual plot, just links.
Search engines hated this because it wasn’t considered natural linking since none of the websites actually knew one another or had any real connection so it was considered to be cheating the system.
Hope that helps!

Thank you Rolando! I am learning from you! It’s doesn’t matter if you tag anyone! This about (as you already know) keeping this tidal wave of friendship going. I have noticed that some bloggers have said this seems to be a “hot” topic. It’s everything, not just some “hot topic”.
I plan on keeping this up forever! Thanks Rolando!

Just thing, I see what you do and in my head I go
“I wanna be just like Bobby”
Minus the being a guy and stuff, because I’m a girl.
Be well and have a great weekend!
