Over the years I have had many different approaches to bringing in visitors to my sites, have it be spamming other sites(I don’t do this anymore thankfully), using adult content of some sort, or just having a good read here and there.  I am once again in the process of looking over the site and seeing how to attract traffic… But this time some more relevant traffic.  I was speaking with Ted and he has gone from zero visits a day when I helped him get his site setup to having about 70k a month unique (Correct me if I am wrong Ted).  Anyways I hope in the months to come to have some valid visitors coming this way reading some hopefully well written articles (I might need help on this if you know anything about my writing skills).  Well anyways this post was once again a little ramble off the top of my head and nothing of real importance, but if you have any suggestions about driving traffic I would be interested in hearing them.

I have really been slacking on site updates, mainly because I have been avoiding my computer in all ways possible besides my daily visits to Craigslist.  Even with that I have yet to land a job, but it has still been a blast in Vegas non the less.  
My days have been occupied with applying for jobs, interviews and countless rounds of disc golf.  I have been working on some site designs for a few clients to bid the time as well.  
As for this site I am have had a few design ideas in mind, yet I have not really wanted to take the time to work on it and push through the ideas I have in mind.
This weekend a friend from Michigan is coming to Vegas and then taking a drive to California, I might hitch a ride so I can work on my tan at the beach…  If I do I hope to add some photos since I have been slacking on that.
Anyways there is an update to occupy your time for a few until I get around to a full update.  Good day. 

Soon.  I have been trying to live a computer free life since I moved, But I still have a large update around the corner to fill in everyone on what has been going on.  Check back shortly for this.

My Technorati ranking is an astonishing 14,926… I am actually very surprised by that good of a rank, especially considering that Alexa ranks me at 1,697,852.  I swore that they used to somewhat go hand in hand with rankings, but clearly that is no longer the case these days.  Hopefully in due time my Alexa ranking will even our with the other.

Besides all the ranking who ha, I thought I would present this nice little gem that came into the help desk this evening.  I removed some of the less important aspects of the message as not to bore the 3 people that read my site.

… and I just wanted to commend you and your colleagues for the promptness and friendliness of your service. This time I had Shelby D reply to my latest query in the usual very speedy and comprehensive fashion, so I thought I should drop Shelby a little ‘attaboy‘ (or ‘attagirl‘).

Now don’t get me wrong I love the compliment, but this is another prime example of why I dislike email support. Maybe I should change my signature to say “Mr. Shelby” that might help sort out  the confusion surrounding my name … then again knowing how most people don’t fully read responses to emails (myself included) it probably would not be all that effective.

In my attempts to fix my theme, it seems that I have destroyed it.  As you can see the font sizes are way off, and really I am unsure why… seeing that I didn’t change any of the CSS on the page.  Guess this is more motivation to get the new theme out, though I am really not sure its ready for production yet since I just started creating it about 3 days ago, and really only spent about 15 minutes working on it.

I never got around to updating my site. I really need to stick to that promise sometime. Maybe after I start night shift next week, then I will have some free time during the day to get some stuff done with out any distractions…. well then again I will prob. watch a copious amount of TV and who knows how many movies. Along with a redesign of the site I have been thinking of trying to really get into the daily posting that I was so used to ages ago. I was trying to think of things that I could post on certain days and here is what I came up with.

Monday - Weekend review. Not that many will be interested in this but I figured I should at least try to recap my weekends so I can have some of an idea of what I did years down the road.
Tuesday - Tech Tuesday, looking at posting some tech related article/how-to etc on every tuesday.
Wednesday - Whack off Wednesday. I am not going to start posting porn, but I think a tasteful photo every week wont hurt.
Thursday - Thirsty Thursday, coming from Lansing that was a tradition. I am going to try to post a drink mixture, drinking game, or some sort of review of a club/bar
Friday - Weekend Plan, then I can see on Monday if I really held to my plans.
Saturday - Nothing planned.
Sunday - Nothing planned.

Well there you have it, just one more thing that I wont stick to… but the idea is there at least.
