How to see who links to you
Links are quite a big part of making a success of your site or blog on the internet. Read my philosophy on links
Once you’ve established a blog and have it running for a while you would like to see how many other sites link to you.
You can do this by using Google.
Simply go to google.com and type in: link: www.gitui.com where gitui.com is your sites name. That’s it.
That will then bring up results of anywhere there are links to your site or blog. Its a great tool you can use.
It shows that your blog or website is actually growing in popularity on the internet.
Google Cancels deal with yahoo
Google amost entered a law suit if it did not pull out of the deal.
A day after Google walked away from an advertising partnership with Yahoo, Eric E. Schmidt, the chief executive of Google, said he believed that the companies would have been successful if they had chosen to defend the deal in court.
Eric Schmidt abandoned an advertising deal with Yahoo.
Google chose to abandon the controversial plan after the Justice Department notified the companies that it would file an antitrust suit to block it.
“We canceled the deal with about one hour to go before a lawsuit was going to be filed against our deal,” Mr. Schmidt said in an interview on Thursday. “We concluded after a lot of soul-searching that it was not in our best interest to go through a lengthy and costly trial which we believe we ultimately would have won.”
Yahoo said it would have preferred to defend the deal in court. “Yahoo strongly believes we would have prevailed in court if the Department of Justice had filed a lawsuit, but unlike Google, we were prepared to defend our agreement,” said Tracy Schmaler, a Yahoo spokeswoman.
Imagine if your company set out to controll most of the internet and try to make the world a better place. Google has the size, power and the know how on how to do that. People have told me that for me to change the world, I need to start with myself. Google can change the world with the internet.

Build your own online network
There are many ways in witch you can build your online network. Social media sites, services, mail, websites, blogs and many more.
I just started using Linkedin the other day, and found a whole bunch of my clients on there. With Linked in you can find other businesses, share yours and contact people.
I use Gmail, and find that the Chat feature is great when your clients need to chat to you and ask you something. It saves money and makes it simple to communicate with them. And the whole conversation gets saved.
Facebook is also a very good place for you to start building an online network. Create a group, Invite people and post on there whats happening with you/your company.
Technorati, digg, stuble all those social media sites create opportunity to make contacts and share your site/blog/company with people. Sign up to some of them and connect to the world.
