What's my site's rank.

[livejournal.com profile] derb points out a rather useful measure of just how popular your site is, based on three different measures: Google's page rank, Alexa's traffic rank, and the Yahoo! backlink count.

www.sandm.co.uk gets the following results:

PageRank for www.sandm.co.uk = 6 / 10
If the PR is 0, it could mean no such page in Google, or an actual PR of 0.

Alexa traffic rank for sandm.co.uk = 2045653
A rough estimate of daily unique visitors based on this Alexa rank = 168
www.alexa.com/data/details/?url=sandm.co.uk

The external backlink count for this page in Yahoo = 353

Making money from the web

Since I put Google Adsense on sandm.co.uk we have made a grand total of $0.19.

Not bad for no work at all and an out-of-date website that really needs a redesign and rebuild...

...and only $99.81 to go before they send us a cheque...

OneNote PowerToys

If there's an app I live in as much as Outlook, it's Microsoft's OneNote 2003. A member of the Office family, OneNote is the closest thing to an electronic version of the good old Black and Red notebooks I used in my engineering days. It's not just for tablet PCs - I use it as much on my desktop PC as on my tablet.

Yesterday's release of the first service pack for Office 2003 meant a whole new version of OneNote, and an extensibility API. Chris Prately, the OneNote project lead, has just announced the first two OneNote PowerToys in his blog...

I do like the ides of Outlook to OneNote, which allows you to select a group of email messages and turn them into a OneNote document.
