Oh Dear, Another Dry Spell
Not much to report this time as working on Squidoo has blanked out any free time for the WIP. There’s a lot of keyword research that has to be done to try to get Google traffic. The initial positive results have ebbed away somewhat as it turns out that positive comments and likes by fellow Squidoo writers ‘wear off’, so my first lens (article) has slumped right down the ratings and none of the others ever got anywhere near a good rating. Ho hum. I’ve decided I won’t do the ‘homework’ each week; it’s better to study the keyword side and try to get traffic to them and hence improve their ranking and maybe generate some sales/income. Anyway, it’s something that has to take a long view. It isn’t a short term goal.
In all this, I missed the mid-week report-in! Darn!
Meanwhile, I need to polish that story I was going to send to the Mslexia competition. And work out how to write a one page synopsis of that very long novel …..
Anyway, here is the current ROW80 round:
I did a few posts on Squidoo I think, couple years ago(ish). Not sure I benefitting at all. Blogging is enough pressure without adding a ton of other places to post to in the hope they transfer some readers. I think of it the same way as when I read something interesting – I might pop by there blog to see what else is on offer, but if it’s very different to what I’ve read, then I consider it a one off and move on. Best of luck with everything – competitions and synopsis – scary! 🙂 X
