What’s Up with the Amazon Traffic?
The other night I noticed a temporary surge in traffic on several of my sites. Around the same time I noticed a surge in my Suite 101 traffic too. On my own sites I could tell the referrer was Amazon. Most of the traffic was coming from Seattle, Washington and Fresno, California. There were one [...]
Ready, Aim…Shoot Self in the Foot!
From time to time I experiment with different plugins to enhance my blog’s functionality (functionality…such a tech writing word). Anyway, I use a plugin that is supposed to help detect hack attacks. After having a couple of my blogs hacked some time ago, I’m a bit sensitive to hacking. The plugin I use is called [...]
Why I Haven’t Squeezed You
Internet marketing 101 states: The money is in the list. If you don’t have a list, stop now and build one. Internet Marketing 102 states: Create a squeeze page. Give ‘em something free so they’ll sign up. NJFM is a No Pressure Zone Internet Marketing 101 and 102 might work for other sites and other [...]
November Traffic Down 17%
It’s the end of the month and time for me to look at what I did during the month and how I can improve on things going forward. In reviewing my numbers I see that my overall traffic is down. I did a quick analysis of my top 6 sites and have found an average [...]
A Few Mouse Clicks to 62% AdSense Earnings Increase
Maybe it’s a bit early to share my latest discovery, but a few clicks in my Google AdSense interface resulted in a 62% earnings increase. If you’re an AdSense publisher, I’m sure you’re familiar with the warning atop of your AdSense account. The warning tells you that your ads are displaying on unauthorized sites. The [...]
Google’s Panda Part Duex.5
It’s my belief that Panda has a 1, 2 punch. The first part of the punch is obvious in the form of reduced traffic. As I’ve mentioned in my last post, my Tidbits and Stuff site was smacked by the Panda. Traffic dropped by about 40% (Panda’s first punch). Although Tidbits used to get a [...]
The Panda Returns
You know something is up when you walk into a room and the kids suddenly get quiet and each of them has “that look” on their face. A mother’s gut knows something is up. Well, when I clicked on my statistics page for my page views, one of my sites had “that look” while the [...]
Lipstick on a Pig
Most of us start new sites/blogs because we have a passion for the subject matter. Well, let me re-phrase that. There are some sites we create because we’re passionate about the topic and other sites we create for the money. If the moneymaking sites don’t make money, I recommend getting rid of them because unless [...]
I Thought So
Being the numbers junkie that I am, I keep close track of my earnings, and to a lesser degree my page views. I especially keep track of my Google earnings to get an indication if Panda is morphing into a kinder or meaner type of animal. According to my numbers, somewhere around September 22nd, things [...]
Getting Used to Google’s New Interface
Since receiving the e-mail from Google in which they advise that the old AdSense interface will soon be disabled and the new one enhanced, I realized it was time for me to start getting warm and fuzzy with the new one. As I clicked around the new interface I found that I had a few [...]
