A while ago I was ultra excited to read about the upcoming Hulu Plus and and I quickly signed up to be let into the preview. What I did not realize was that even for just the beta, you have to pay immediately! I mean, I would have kinda expected the beta to be free [...]
I have posted about Alexa before here and here. The “rumor” is supposedly the better your traffic gets, the more links coming in, and the more users with Alexa toolbars visiting your site, the lower your Alexa number should become. And while in other stats we want high numbers, on Alexa we shoot for low [...]
Collecting data about users, shoppers, petitioners, etc. used to take some hassle. Hire a bunch of teens to stand in the mall and grab people as they walk by. Call homes and have people hang up on you (before the “Do Not Call List” was implemented), or spend money mailing printed surveys that no one [...]
I always have like 2-3 ideas for sites and domains floating around in my head. If it’s a good name, sometimes I will grab it up and let it sit until I do something with it. This used to not work out too well since domains were expensive. Now, it’s easy. Cheap domain names make [...]

My curiosity of the web numbers continues. In my post What the heck is Alexa anyway? I described a bit about the purpose of caring about your Alexa number. I also mentioned complaints found around the web the the numbers are widely inaccurate so we should not put too much worry into them. Well, now [...]

It’s important to protect yourself, especially at this time of year. Check out the below tips [...]
Vlogs and podcasts are huge on the web these days. There is something about being able to watch a video tutorial or segment rather than reading it. It gets the point across better, it grabs the watchers attention if done well, and it adds life to your site or blog. But in order for it [...]
I love looking at my stats. Not because I am obsessed with the numbers, but because the searches that bring people to my page are sometimes very interesting. There are the usual and expected ones like: Don’t Leave Us With the Babies – Great commercial. And being a twin mom, I can relate. If you [...]

Last week I participated in a web conference with Kijiji.com. They previewed the new version of their web engine and asked for feedback from a few of us they deemed the “Kijiji Classifieds Web Committee”. We watched a demo and made suggestions for slight improvements here and there on the site. Overall, I think the [...]
So, I have 3 websites/blogs that I maintain, this one, http://doubletwinz.com and http://caincreative.biz. I also have a few other domains that I do stuff with, and a few that I have been holding to do something with… some day! One of these is http://kristilecain.com.
