After reviewing my Google Analytics data, I noticed a very high bounce rate. This means that people are looking at my blog and then promptly leaving without viewing another page. I believe my first step to solve this problem is to enhance my blog appearance and presentation.
I was using the Redband Wordpress theme for the last 3 weeks, and after 3 hours of research, I chose a new theme by CSSRockstars.com called Charade .
I really like the Web 2.0 feeling, the social media links, and the... Read Full Story

I recently became the target of blog spam. Someone is sending me a plethora of comments on my articles that have no use or relevance whatsoever to my blog. Let me assure you, deleting spam everyday is something I do not want to add to my list of daily activities.
I did a Google search of what to do and found that my version of Wordpress (version 2.7) already has a plugin called Akismet that just needed to be activated to work. This was good news, however it required an API key to function... Read Full Story

Here is what I have been working on the last few days.
- Signed up with aboutus.org, Alexa.com and Quantcast.com to let them know this site exists.
- Registered with Topblogarea.com and addme.com. The last one here was interesting, it was free but then they send you quite a few emails to get you premium listing with various search directories. I didn’t pay anything and cancelled myself from all the email lists. I wonder if they really added me anywhere.
- Noticed that the Cogno... Read Full Story

It has been one month since I started onlinemarketingdiary.net which is all about keeping a public, detailed diary of how I promote and popularize this blog.
There was a lot of learning, tweaking, and reading happening over the past month. As well, I took a week off to go to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico with my wife to shake off the winter chills. This stopped my marketing and blogging momentum for quite a few days.

Good news today! MSN’s Search Engine, Live.com , is now listing my blog in their database. Let’s take a quick look at my Firefox Rank Checker results. I told you I was addicted to this tool!
My best search term across the board is “online marketing diary” which makes sense because this is the title of my blog and the url of my website. I am happy to see the #8 Live.com ranking for the search term “internet marketing diary”. Good stuff!
Since the last post, I have done the following... Read Full Story

There likely isn’t alot of value signing up with a social site and then promptly leaving….instead of being social. I will come back to these sites in a few weeks to explore and use them in more detail.

It’s been 2 weeks since my first post on this blog and last night while all was quiet, Yahoo indexed my blog into their search directory. This is great news as my traffic is very low still and I am the type of person that needs to see progress.
I must confess, I am addicted to checking my search engine results with Rank Checker every morning. Perhaps this is natural. Here are the results this morning.
Notice that MSN (Live) has still added this website yet.
