Google Front Page
Some heartening news. I’m back on google, up on the front page again. I’ve got one of those dual entries where the second entry is indented, and I’m up around numbers 7 and 8. I think I can do better than that, but it’s a great start. Ultimately, I’d like to be in the top [...]
Social Bookmarking Traffic
In the past I’ve been a bit spoiled. With my Bunco site, I’ve got great organic placement, and have had it almost since I created the site. I currently have Authority entries and multiple entries per page for Bunko, Bunco, Bunco Rules, Bunko Rules and many more. When I look at my incoming traffic, even [...]
Online Farkle
One of my designers gave me the Java for an online Farkle Game. It looked pretty cool, better than most of the free stuff available.
I tried to find where it came from, since it didn’t have any start page, or information about where it was developed, if it was public domain, or what.
I finally found [...]
Wikipedia - Farkle
Wikipedia has an entry on Farkle.
Would it be possible to get my own site listed there?
I would say so, as long so you do it right. In my case I developed some unique information that nobody else had. I had information on Farkle and Drinking, Farkle and large groups, and Farke History.
I noticed one incorrect [...]
Squidoo for Traffic
As part of my 30 Day Challenge, I built my SEO optimized FarkleRules.com website, and started some social bookmarking, and building up backlinks.
As part of their program, they recommend building a Squidoo lens for more traffic.
It was to be my first.
Let me say this - it’s remarkably easy, and there are lots of videos and [...]
Wordpress - Blog not at root = Big Mistake
I made a big mistake. When I created the Farklerules.com website, I didn’t change the default wordpress location. So I ended up in a subdirectory. Now the question was, how to get the traffic from the home page to the blog?
Turns out that is easy enough, with a little php code.
<?php
define(’WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
require(’./blog/wp-blog-header.php’);
?>
But it means that [...]
FarkleRules.com - online
I bought a couple of different domains. FarkleFarkel, FarkelFarkle, and Farklerules.com, to cover some bases. I went with FarkleRules.com because it matches my keywords, and also due to the similarity in type to my BuncoRules.com site. I may have a whole array of these dice game websites someday.
Started with a couple of pages about [...]
Farkle!
So my first micro-niche is the Dice game Farkle, specifically the keywords Farkle Rules.
The idea came to me when looking over the data from an existing website- buncorules.com. Farkle was a keyword suggestion, and when I looked it over, it seemed almost too good. I like it a lot.
So I’m going to go ahead [...]
Finding Your Micro-niche
As part of the 30 day challenge, we’re encouraged to find very small niche markets that are underserviced. So, I’ve always considered myself an idea guy, this shouldn’t be so hard should it?
I had come up with about 25 ideas right away, but once I started investigating their market potential, I was continually hitting [...]
Can’t Add Image to Post in Wordpress
You might have noticed a shortage of visual awesomeness on the blog, and for good reason: I could not add pictures to the blog automatically.
Using the “Add media” button on the Write Post page would allow me to upload an image, but when I hit the button to insert the image into post, the window [...]
