Little Earners

I would like to welcome one of the newest members of BlogDumps Bloggers.

Inkserotica writes on her About page:

1 – Can you help me get these lenses listed here off this lens?
2 – Can you help me increase the traffic and their ratings?
3 – Can you see what I am missing as to why these lenses are not doing so well compared to many of my other lenses?
4 – Is there hope for them and me as a Lensmaster?
5 – Or am I (we) doomed to stay on the bottom of the Squidoo barrel for ever more?

Here are the possible reasons why these are my worst ranked squidoo lenses ever!:
1 – Poor traffic bordering on Zilch, nada, zero, nowt, nothing…okay, you get the picture ;)
2 – Few comments
3 – Few ratings
4 – Hardly any or no backlinks
5 – Probably not indexed in Google
6 – Poorly researched or boring subjects
7 – No Angel Blessings
8 – No awards or contest prizes
9 – No LotD awarded

Maybe I should back-up and tell you a little about Squidoo and what a lense is. According to Squidoo’s own blog,

“Squidoo is a website hosting hundreds of thousands of handbuilt webpages (just to be difficult, we call them “lenses”). Each lens is one person’s look at something online. Your take on football or business or the best thai food in town.”

That being said, Inkserotica, in London has slowly built up an online presence as a Freelance writer and Reviewer and concentrates on how to promote Squidoo Lenses on her new BlogDumps Blog, Little Earners.

“Increasing my back links by using this blog and discovering methods I can use to promote those lenses that don’t do so well. I shall also be trying to find the reasons why some of these lenses aren’t doing so well as others.”

Thank you for enlightening us about Squidoo, we can’t wait to read more about your journey as a LensMaster here on your blog

Monday It’s all good…

What a beautiful day here on the Eastern shore this morning. It might have been a bit cold but it was just one of those walk out the front door of the farm and off to the office and feeling good type of day!

I made it to the office early today and I thought since I didn’t do a Sunday (OK, so I napped and ate pumpkin pie watched the little one and then it was nap time) music I would start of your Monday with some.

I know what a great Idea… Oh stop the applause….. hehehehe

I bet you’re awake now!

We have a new member to the BlogDumps community Mike over at what he calls “They Will Say ANYTHING! Politics and Economics Unwound”

I found this on his sidebar…

“I worked almost 25 years directly across the street from the U.S. Capitol at the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress. I juggled a whole tool box full of political nuts and bolts as a legislative researcher and analyst. How could this not result in a very healthy love/hate relationship with Congress and politics? After all these years we’re still together, but we each know the other one needs to make some changes . . .”

What a nice blog please stop by and visit Mike, this is a blog worth reading! Make sure to leave a comment after all it is the nice thing to do!

Enjoy your week

Thursday Thirteen # I never counted


I am so bad I never counted which Thursday Thirteen this is for me!

It sure has been busy around here – I did two copies of the top sites sending traffic today. I would like to thank all of you for being faithful BlogDumps Community Members. So for this Thursday Thirteen I am going to checkout Y’all’s Blogs and tell about what I found there.

Hot Blog Sites on BlogDumps.com Today:

  • Coffee Break? How can you NOT LOVE to read a Blog that a post starts out like this:

    “It quite tickled me this morning as I sat down at the computer, wrapped snugly in a plush robe with fingers warming round a steaming cup of coffee and preparing to write this blog. Going through my emails and digital newspapers, strange ‘coincidence’ brought my eyes to an article in one of my dailies (The Scotsman). I had to chuckle when I read further to find it not only pertained to, basically, my home-town but fit well into this blog.”

  • EuroYank Euro-Yank describes himself as:
    “Served in the Military (Vietnam – combat medic, paratrooper.) Carpenter many years, built houses for the rich. Managed several restaurants. Successful Insurance broker. Became disillusioned with the USA. Happily resettled in Europe. Think many people and my fellow Americans are ignorant, arrogant, brainwashed. I write blogs that exposes disinformation, propaganda, censorship. Primary motivation to enlighten my compatriots and the brainwashed masses of the world.”

    Trust me when I say that the photos and Videos he has on his blog are truly enlightening.

  • informesaude.blogspot.com Damn! I don’t speak that Language! I wish I had paid better attention in ?Spanish? Class or better yet… I think it’s Margarita Time!
  • Postcards from Insanity Honestly, the title says it all for me. This Foster Mom’s Journey is a great read. I totally feel for her!!
  • Make Money Online Yeah, I know I thought the same thing.. Not another Money Site! But I was plesanlty surprised. There’s not a TON of flashing banners, the layout is simple to navigate and easy on the eyes, and the Posts are really well written! It’s a great blog!
  • AMWP Games Great Gaming Blog full of different games, one in every post! If you’re into games check this place out!
  • Emmsy’s Stuff A gaming blog that’s more than gaming. Find out interesting stuff about x-box games and fancy phones!
  • cherries-and-blossoms.blogspot.com This blog is written by a young 20-something year-old, with a blog subtitle that reads:

    “Buddhism teaches that all things have a unique beauty and mission. Every person has a singular mission, his or her individuality and way of life. Wonder what is mine?”

  • Bloggingscious I really like the uniqueness of the title of this blog. I tried to put it in a category but this blog covers so many different things from cars to glasses to random things that interest bloggers. A definite must-read!
  • Bloggertise Whoa! I just realized that three of the blogs in this list are written by Jophilsuperman! Go Figure! I must really like what he writes about!
  • Make Money Online by Toto Hey that makes number 4!! LOL
  • Alexa Oh Come on! You know what alex is!
  • Naked Politics A really interesting Political Blog! The latest post (today) is about Jill Biden, wife of Joe Biden, and a teacher and the Local Community college here. I think that great, but I’m still undecided who I’m voting for… I’m still doing my research so I can make an educated vote!
