The Poddyland News 27th January 2009
Tuesday, January 27th, 2009South Florida has warmed up nicely, thankfully, and it’s back to being a very pleasant time of year again. It’s nice and cool at night, not cold, and during the day the temperatures are rising to the mid 70’s with plenty of sunshine and a light breeze. No need to put the air conditioning on, open the windows to let the fresh air in, it’s practically perfect.
The weekend was fairly uneventful, with my seeing my daughters on Sunday morning for breakfast and to take them to the park, but most of the rest of the weekend I sat in and tried to work on updating lenses on Squidoo and catching up with correspondence.
I didn’t create any new lenses this week, however I finally got around to completing my final Song Lyrics lens, YMCA by The Village People. I created this in July 2008 but never had time to complete it, and although it had a number of blank modules, the song has done well with the search engines and I get enough traffic so that without any promotion it’s actually the best performing of my Song Lyrics lenses. Well now I have finished it, and think I did a pretty good job, but what is the probability that Google now drops it’s position so the traffic disappears? As well as completing the lens, I added it to more groups, lensrolled it, Stumbled it, Tagfooted it too, so you would think things would improve… Got any lenses related to the 70’s or Party Songs? I would be happy to add them as Featured Lenses here. One thing I was disappointed in, is that I had wanted to add a Featured Lens Module to highlight other lenses about Greenwich Village in New York or artists that had come from there. Could I really find anything? Nope! A few lenses that mentioned it, and a few really awful lenses that I didn’t feel happy with linking to. Maybe something good will come along in the future.
Debbie and I have also been busy working on our blog (see below), and the traffic is increasing nicely, with lots of our friends from Squidoo and Tagfoot visiting. We haven’t added many postings to the blog in the last week, but I have lots of ideas for posts and pages – just need the time to focus on them.
One thing I have been thinking about is Google Adsense. Sometimes a click is worth only 1 cent or fewer than 10 cents, but at other times it can be worth a dollar or even more. I need to do some research on the keywords that pay best on Adsense, and to try to steer some postings towards those topics, hoping to target visitors who will click on the more profitable ads. This way we might be able to go from one to five dollars a day to fifty to one hundred dollars a day. Here’s hoping I can find the secret sometime soon and put some new ideas to work.
