A week doesn’t make any difference with web traffic

Monday Monday

I didn’t post for a week and it didn’t make any difference in the web traffic I received. In fact, on Monday my views were higher than last week. So clearly posting is less important  than the stuff I have already posted. Interesting.

I like surfing and trying out new WordPress plugins. I tried one that said it would increase SEO by suggesting terms and analyzing your writing, but I wasn’t impressed. My goal isn’t really to get views, it is to share things that I think will help the average person. If someone wants to see something added, I am open to suggestions.

Today I saw my first search request from a site called Blekko. I have never used it before, but one of my top articles showed up on the front page for it. It is interesting that it says it is spam free. I wonder how it accomplishes that? Interesting that I wasn’t the first listed, but the person still choose me. I wonder why?

I guess I’m out of the Google doghouse

For the last two weeks my views had gone to ridiculously low levels. Perhaps everyone was on vacation, but more likely Google has changed how it feels about my site and content. I say this because the major source of traffic comes from the Google search results, and the last two weeks those have been down to double digits when they typically were triple digits.

Has anyone else had this experience?

Lasso Professional 8 not Lion ready yet

Ok this is good to know. I rarely hear people who use Lasso. What does that offer that Apache doesn’t?

The install of Lion erased my hosts and conf files but the reason my web sharing would not work seems to be that I was running Lasso Professional 8 web server on my machine. I don’t think it’s Lion compatible yet. I disabled Lasso and it’s working fine now… save for the fact that I have to recreate my hosts and conf files.
