You who have been following my posts for the past few days (I'm talking to a mirror right now), know that I'm a man on a mission, searching for and implementing online revenue earning strategies, employing expert-level SEO tactics, and planting backlinks like a seed drill (fun fact - Jethro Tull invented the seed drill).
Well folks, there's nothing more humbling than having the very first commenter on your blog point out a huge gaping hole in your efforts. Last evening, Scooter, bless his heart, made note that I failed to create a description for my site. A blog description is a field built into Blogger that gives an author a perfect opportunity to stuff his header with keywords. It's common knowledge that search engines love keywords. In addition, it's now common knowledge that I'm retarded. At least I'm living up to my namesake.
Thanks to Scooter's reminder, you'll now notice a brand new description in my blog header, jam-packed with keywords like "residual income", "online revenue", and "work from home". Seriously, thanks Scooter. Scoot (can I call you Scoot?) also referred me to a wealth of knowledge for suggestions on making money online - a blog ran by a guy named Griz. After reading through some of Griz's content, I realize how much I don't know. It's all great stuff, and I subscribed to his blog, but it's a bit discouraging.
How can having access to so much free content be discouraging?
Mirror, remember in my first post I mentioned that I've never kept a blog up for more than two weeks? It's because I have less focus than a camera wearing an eye patch. I get overwhelmed by information, get off task, quit, and start the next project.
Well not this time! I'm not gonna hide from you, Griz, you helpful bastard with your useful advice. I'm gonna follow your words and apply them! Steve Perry!
A page on Griz's site took me to a blog on making money with Google Adsense by a guy named the Road Warrior (these people have great freakin names!). The Road Warrior's blog, 'Working on the Go' really spoke to me. I read with eager eyes as he shared his pain...my pain. You see, like me, the Road Warrior struggled with balancing research, networking, building backlinks, and creating content, which are all things necessary for a building a great blog, but he got over it. Guys like Griz and the Road Warrior are my new inspiration. If I don't make it past two weeks with this blog, I give you all permission to call me a filthy friend, and friend me in my friender.
Just in case you're wondering why I've linked to Griz and Road Warrior using their blog descriptions (making money with Google) and not the titles (Working on the Go), it's because as much as search engines love backlinks to your site, they love keyword laden backlinks even more (anchor text). Griz and Road Warrior did me a favor, and though it was indirect, they gave me some great advice and I want to repay them by throwing some anchor text their way. That said, a link from me isn't worth dick, but it's the best I can do...I'm just filling their online tip jar.
