Closing down on that traffic source split

Around 2 months ago i spoke about how i wanted a good split of traffic sources heading to talk playstation. I mentioned that having a good split is very good and talk playstation wasn’t doing that for me, back then the split was mainly from refferals and direct traffic. I wanted to build upon search engine traffic. Well 2 months later i’m starting to see a lot more traffic come from search...

Giving blog directories a try + updates

I was browsing the digital point forums and came across a topic regarding blog directories. So i started to do some searching to find the best blog directories and start submitting this blog and talk playstation to those directories. This is what i’ve been doing most of this evening. It’s quite painful having to copy and paste your details etc into hundreds of differen’t directories but i...

The free Google mouse mat i received

No not direct from Google but still. One of my good friends, Carey gave me a free Google mouse mat after he had visited Google in London last week. It was Internet World in Earls Court, London and he attended the Google University for Adwords. They gave everyone red Google bags with sweets, pads, pens and mousemats – plus a £50 voucher for Adwords! The talk was about adwords, how to make the most of...

So i e-mailed 6 bloggers this questions…

I asked ProBlogger, John Chow, DailyBlogTips, Carey, Smemon and Shoemoney all the same question. As you know my Playstation Blog gets quite a lot of visits and i wondered if i should have put adverts on it. My question was: my friends are saying i’m shooting myself in the foot by not running adsense or some form of adverts. I just reply with “i’m concentrating on expanding my readership...

Page Rank 3!

I was on the Digital Point forums over the weekend and saw a lot of topics regarding Google PageRank updating. Today is bank Holiday and i’m pretty much bored and not really doing anything so i thought i would check my PageRank and my current page rank is 3! I really didn’t expect this at all, i thought i would be lucky to even get a page rank of 1. TalkPlaystation has a page rank of 0 but...

I’m getting there, almost at number 1

I few weeks ago i made a post regarding how i rank in Google for my own name, David Parkinson. I’ve just checked now and i rank in at number 2! My ultimate aim is to become number 1 in Google for my own name! Why? I just want to see if i can achieve it. I’ve also noticed that Yahoo are now indexing my blog post on both this blog and talkplaystation almost as quick as Google are! This is pretty...

No need to worry about indexing anymore

Everytime i made a new blog post i used to check in Google and other search engines to see if it’s been indexed. Not anymore. I hardly every check now because Google is probably guaranteed to index a blog post within one hour. If it doesn’t then it’s usually when it next crawls your site. This is good because if you want to get some traffic quickly and have some good news to post you can...
