Page one of Google after a day?
Wow. My brand new lens on the LittleMissMatched socks company is already on page one of google for the search term. Was looking for some additional info to add and there I was. Amazing. Fabulous. Marvelous. Weird.
I haven’t even really started to promote this much as yet. Did a [...]

Sigh. Google hates me again.

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

Well, after all my excitement about being back in the Google index for my cycling jerseys lens, I’ve dropped out again. Boo!! I get really good traffic with this guy when it’s in the index, like 30 hits a day. And these people will buy stuff, which is also good. Not happy about this at [...]

Hooray!! Google has picked my novelty cycling jerseys lens back up. Good timing as it seems to have dropped the other one now. Just can’t win. This was making money within like a day of my creating it. Hoping that continues. People who get on there click out at least.

Kung Fu Panda passes 1,000 visits for the week! Tomorrow’s the big day, so I should enjoy it while I can. On a side note, my hair donation site has moved up to get 1,300 for the past week. Wow! Never thought in a million years I’d see those kinds of numbers on any of [...]

Broke 3,000 visits

Friday, May 30th, 2008

I’ve been watching my traffic all day - that line at the top of the Daily Digest that says “you have x lenses, visited x times in the past 7 days”. (Not mentioning that the AP style side of me doesn’t like numerical 7 there. It’s been steadily creeping up and had made it [...]

Freaky traffic can be fun, but I always wish I had better info as to where it came from! Had 65 people drop by my Adventure & Exploration: First Woman To lens yesterday. Not a clue why or how. (Which is frustrating because you can’t duplicate it.)

Long-tail lenses. I seem to have quite a few, which is great. But how best to promote them? How best to tag them? How best to word them? I’m at a little bit of a loss because it’s just overwhelming. And I seem to have quite a few for some reason. Something to ponder.

This is why we blog, bookmark, etc.

Well, my novelty cycling jerseys lens has been de-indexed by Google. Which means traffic has seriously dropped off. However, thanks to the efforts I’ve made adding it to lensroll, bookmarking at de.li.cious, blogging here and on my main blog - if you search for “novelty cycling jerseys” in Google, nine of the first 10 entries [...]

Squee! Hair donation lens has breached the 1,000-visitor mark for the past seven days. It went over that mark several weeks ago, then dropped back down to below 800 for a while. Has been sitting nicely at around 850 for a couple of weeks now. Just jumping the last few days.

Musing this morning about the sudden spike in traffic to my lens about Susans. As in a couple hundred visitors this week and the stats show them all as direct. Which tells me nothing. They’re clicking on nothing, which tells me I probably shouldn’t care where they’re coming from as they aren’t useful.
