There is a little extra bounce in my step these days, a little louder song in my heart, a little more giddy-up in my…um…whatever is powered up giddy-up.
I have been seeing more and more opps that are listing Real Rank as the dominant requirement. This make me happy. It hasn’t been a tidal wave of opps available, but things are a lot better than they were last month. I had faith that this would turn out to be case. I had faith in the IZEA peeps.
Look, it wasn’t going to happen all at once. Breaking free of the Google chains and educating advertisers on what really matters…it’s like turning a battleship around. It takes time.
By the way, that battleship analogy totally rocks.
I still have not been grabbing too many opps lately, but it’s more a case of me being slower than some of you other guys, heh heh. I need to get back on the ball and be ever-vigilant.
So…now that the battleship has begun to turn around, now what?
Well…gotta get some traffic.
I was talking to my dear friend Janna the other day. She’s been busy trying to boost traffic to her blogs. One of the actions she has taken is to participate in a lot of those linky-deal-things that are day of the week dependent (obviously I have no idea what to call them) like Wordless Wednesday and Manic Monday.
Another good idea is to hold contests in which other bloggers need to write posts that will get folks to visit your blog. My dear friend Drew has been running several contests this month, and my dear friend Colleen has also done so in the past.
Wow. I have a lot of dear friends.
My main blog Pointless Drivel has much more traffic than my junior blog, Pointless Directives, and the latter is the blog I do paid posts on. One of the things I have tried to do is keep most of my sculpey posts on Directives and then direct people over to there on days when I run a sculpey post on Drivel.
If you like that, you’ll love all these over here…
It seems to be working. I certainly get more comments over there than I used to.
So now that the ship is beginning to turn, what do YOU do to build your traffic?
