Well, since all my main money maker sites slipped off of page 1 in the SERPs and are currently earning 1/4th to 1/3rd what they were, I really started to research on what was the best method to go with to help recover those sites and get my income back. I read a few threads on the warrior forum and I found it very frustrating to hear some morons actually suggest to forget those old sites that you have spent many, many hours working on, adding tons of content, article marketing on, backlink building on and just walk away from them to build a new site. There was no way I was gonna abandon my babies. So what was the logical approach??? Building back links of course!
I am slowly recovering one site I have been working on for about 3 weeks now. As of the Panda Oct. 14th update this site in particular slipped from it’s normal #2 spot to #12!! So for the next 2 weeks I blog commented with legit comments through CommentLuv enabled sites and bought the CommentLuv+ premium plug-in and installed that on my site too. This helped because my site then went from #12 to #8 but even after a few more days of blog commenting, I noticed my site was still stuck at #8.
So what was I to do next?? I decided to give Build My Rank a try. So last week I posted 5 blog posts with BMR and now it’s one week later and my site has in fact moved up to #5!!
I definitely want to diverse my backlinking and I am doing just that so now my next step is I am going to write an article and submit to a few article directories. I will outsource someone to back link those articles for me.
I am just glad to see movement and that not all is lost. It’s gonna take me several weeks to recover my sites but they are not a waste!
What I Would Like to See in Kindle Fire 2
There have been plenty of Kindle Fire 2 rumors, but personally there are a few things that I would LOVE to see.
The Default Android
Seriously, the Amazon Kindle’s restrictions that force you to go through their own app store are annoying as hell, and there purely for their own profit.
Amazon needs to drop this and favor a less ‘modified’ android.
While I do understand why Amazon wants to snare you in to buying eBooks from their store, plenty of companies have proven how sectioning yourself off in the age of the global world is a sure fire way to destroy your business in the long run.
Swype
Swype is amazing. Cant get more simple than that. I would use the Amazon Kindle Fire more if I didn’t have to use the slow as hell peck and tap keyboard.
Swype would be the perfect addition to this eReader.
More Responsive
A pretty big issue I have with the Kindle Fire is it’s slow touch screen response time. It means that if use the Fire for anything more than eBook reading, I find myself suffering from a lot of ‘mistakes’ thanks to a screen which doesn’t always recognize my touch.
If Amazon decide to upgrade their tablet, the Kindle FIre will need a much more responsive screen.
Higher Resolution
This s far from the biggest of problems on the Kindle Fire, but sometimes things do look a little pixelated. Even a slight improvement on the screen resolution would be much appreciated.
So will I buy the Kindle Fire 2 if it solves all these problems?
Probably not, I rarely use my tablet, and when I do it is either to read books or watch movies. All of what I said above though would build a much better user experience for Kindle Fire users!

Samsung Galaxy S2 to get Android 4?
In a rather surprising but exciting announcement Samsung revealed that they are releasing Android 4.0 for the Samsung Galaxy S2. While it might take a while for this to roll out to all cell carriers, this is great news for owners of the device that barely missed out on the ice cream sandwich OS. One question on many peoples minds however is should they update to the latest android OS on their Galaxy S2, especially after the large number of complaints on the Galaxy Nexus.
The key point here is that while Android 2.0 Gingerbread is now a little dated, it is also very stable, efficient and rarely crashes. The good news is that early reports do include a high level of stability. This is mostly down to the fact that ice cream sandwich has now had a few months to be fine tuned, but it was a highly efficient OS to begin with.
While Android 4.0 is now more stable, many Samsung Galaxy S2 owners might not be looking to make the switch straight away. The new OS doesn’t really bring that many new features to the table, which leaves more casual users wondering whether the update will be worth the potential issues. For the most part the new android OS improves the look and usability of the phone rather than the features (although little additions like ‘face unlock’ are pretty sweet).
Personally, the new features (while minor) are well worth the update in my opinion.

Nokia PureView 41 Megapixel Camera Phone – No US Release?
The United States has been the largest consumer market for a long time now, but nothing shows the changing economy than when one of the worlds largest smart phone suppliers decides to leave out North America in it’s latest flagship product release.
The Nokia PureView 41MP smart phone beats the resolution of most high end cameras, and most of it’s internal specs put current smart phones to shame, but despite these features, Nokia will not be releasing their flagship phone to the United States.
All is not lost though. Nokia have mentioned that while the Nokia PureView wont be arriving any time soon, photography lovers will be pleased to hear that the 41 megapixel sensor will be released in the near future, albeit on the Windows OS.
If you don’t want to wait, the Nokia 808 PureView will be released in nearly every other country, so there is a possibility that you will be able to import this high end smart phone from abroad
