July blog report
OK take a break from deciding between a doddering old fool and a pedophile rapist fraud felon mob boss, and read about how my thirty-some weblogs are sitting here gathering views and not doing much else. I use them to express my feelings, like I just did, but I don't think they're that effective in really drawing people into my writing. That may change though, one can hope.
They were down a little, but change in averages didn't reflect it and showed most of them with higher averages. That's because the upward trend has been so steady that even a drift down a bit makes the last three months better than the three before that, or what constituted a rolling average on June 1. It appears that in general, they're getting views. Sometimes I look at the whole chart and say, these overall are doing much better than they used to do.
Lots of my general goals are going unfulfilled, but that's true in my life in general. My writing has ground to a halt. My garage is cluttered and needs cleaned out. My clothes are falling apart. But my car is running and I'm working 4-5 hours a day dashing and that has kept the family afloat so I'm happy about that. And I'm looking forward to a little extra income when the dashing is no longer needed by the family but rather something I just do to take care of my own wanton desires.
Short of time, I don't market as much, don't read as much, don't even blog as much though I've kept up with my twelve blogs a month and kept some of them very much alive. One thing that does go with dashing is using ancestry.com almost fanatically to find information that generally is these days up there somewhere, since I've gotten up to about the 1890s which is one of my favorite decades, with my family, my ancestors, all involved in crazy stuff. The Leverett genealogy blog is by far the healthiest, most actively used. And that's what you really need for the search engines to pick up on it, and deliver it to people as a real option. Most of them look at it only casually, I'm sure. But on some level it's all about traffic. You get a thousand hits, maybe one will click on your amazon site. Maybe.
