PAULA NEAL MOONEY

It's funny to see how far you've come online and the things that can happen when you're online for years upon years. I first started this blogger blog back in December 2005 -- wow, almost 6 years now. And then in 2007, I started getting my feet wet with regular dot coms like after Google temporarily took away my ranking for the term Paula Mooney. (I didn't know if you kept linking to a website with the same exact term that Google would bomb you for it -- or rather, I didn't want to change doing it.) But it was all good (or rather, all God) because that forced me to get outside of blogger and learn something new. I started WatchFreeEpisodes.com and another site called CPTimes.com, and they were going great till I got greedy and started adding scraped content from feeds too much and too often and in the wrong way and that got both sites de-indexed. It was a silly move of sorts, especially since Watch Free Episodes was getting $5,000 in Adsense income at its pe...

I was just messing around trying to figure out what pagerank this blog now sits at today -- I guess Google loves me with a pagerank of 4 for the homepage according to the toolbar. My other PaulaNealMooney.com site they dropped down to a pagerank of 1, the same PR as some of the sites I just started a few months ago. (Don't know why that happened.) It all reminds me not to be "page rank obsessed" -- as one of my readers said back when I didn't want to hear it, and was mad at Google for dropping me around. Oh well, at least I'm grateful to have access to some high-ranking page rank sites that either I own or write for. It's kinda still all about the backlinks. And speaking of backlinks, according to Yahoo, I've got over 5,600 links pointing to this blog -- a fact that somewhat surprised me. I didn't even know I had that many. I've been doing so much keyword research lately like a fiend. And when I see a website that's been around for yea...

Just calculated all my writing income thus far for the first 6 months of 2011 and wrote a long post about how I got the $16K . I like this pic I took for one of my niche blogs about Sally Hansen nail strips, but honestly, I think people aren't buying a lot of those that I see coming thru. I gotta check again. It's been a good and long and pretty productive day, but it's time to get away from this nice, new laptop. I just saw an interesting proposal about tithing 10% of our time each day to God -- and I'm intrigued by the 2.4 hours of time that could be set aside to learn more about what direction my life should take. I'll admit, while I can be good about the giving of money -- I probably could spend a lot more quiet time trying to hear from heaven. Let me go start...
