Site Build It Works if you work it. I have been plugging along for months now at a turtles pace and guess what?

Traffic grows.....slowly...... But it grows. When I started back in Dec. 2004 or rather when Alexa.com pick me up my rank was about 3,500,000. Today it is 849,803 with an average weekly at 350,150. So what does that mean in terms of visitors you ask? I'm averaging 40 unique visitors daily. May not sound like a lot to you but I know it's growing.

My sudden spurt in growth has a lot to do with links. As in getting them. I signed up for Site Build Its Value Exchange which is FREE to Anyone and what a wonderful service that is.

Value exchange brings webmasters who want to exchange links together. You don't have to go hunting for them on your own. You just fill out a form stating what your site is about, keywords that are relevant to your site and off you go.

In a short while you will get a list of websites that are related to yours and they may want to link to you. If you have a great site with great content, heck everyone will want to exchange links with you.

And you want to know the great thing about all of this? It's fun and it's all yours. Check out what SBI calls special prize. It's what SBI is all about. See how SBI has influenced peoples lives.

Now if you are ready to check out my site on mexican food recipes, all you have to do is click the link.

Salsa Recipe 

I just had to include some salsa recipes on my Cooking Mexican Recipes Site.

This picture of salsa is basically a pico de gallo recipe, although pico de gallo is suppose to be made with all raw vegetables. I changed it a bit by cooking the onions and garlic a tad. You can do it either way.

None the less. Did you know that salsa is jam packed with vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals? I know you know what vitamins and minerals are but if the word phytochemicals is new to you, you can read a little about them on my salsa recipe page.

Here I will show you the different ways to use salsa so you too can get more veggies into your meals in a delicious way.

On a side note. My SBI site is slowly, steadily growing in traffice. It's just like Ken Evoy of Site Build It says it would.

Here are some stats for you. In Dec. I had 2 unique visitors, Jan. 11 unique visitors, Feb, 21 unique visitors and now for the early part of March I have 32 unique visitors daily. I know that doesn't sound like much but I have faith it will grow into the hundreds.

Now I am working on getting links from other sites. This is going rather slow. I will give an update when I get my first link.

Success to you,
Robin

Here are those dessert recipes I was promising. I added three new ones to my site recently.

The first one is peanut butter balls. I make this one every Christmas for sure, it's tradition and delicious. My kids love 'em. They are easy to make but time consuming. But the great thing about peanut butter balls is you can make them ahead of time and freeze them. I haven't really tested how long you can freeze them but I have kept mine for a month.

So make this recipe before the holidays when you are not busy and rushed. They will be ready to serve or give as gifts and you won't feel all that holiday stress.

My second dessert recipe I added is rightfully named Worlds Best Toffee.
This recipe is so addicting it's nearly impossible to stop eating it. I got this recipe from a relative of mine and it is truly one of the best. Don't miss it.

The third recipe is my favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe. Just imagine that buttery rich chocolate chip cookie melting in your mouth. My recipe includes an ingredient not usually found in chocolate chip cookie recipes and I think it adds a nice flavor to the cookie. I invite you to try out the recipe and see for yourself. It just migh become your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe.


Have a great day,
Robin
