Google First Page

I’m solid on the first page of Google for my Farkle Rules site and keywords. I’ve managed to crawl up to 6th place, with the coveted “indented” entry in 7th place.
I believe there’s plenty of room to make inroads against those above me, at least 2 are pretty weak. I’d love to somehow place around [...]

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

POSTED BY admin on Aug 20 under 30 Day Challenge, Internet Marketing

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

POSTED BY StevenPratt on Aug 18 under 30 Day Challenge

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

POSTED BY StevenPratt on Aug 17 under 30 Day Challenge

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 [...]

Can’t Add Image to Post in Wordpress

POSTED BY StevenPratt on Aug 6 under 30 Day Challenge, Techno-Fun

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 [...]
