The SEO Song, Yea I Was REALLY Bored
What happens when you get bored of fixing alignments in posts after you transfer you blog? You start humming nonsensical music from Otis while thinking of SEO tags for each page. The result? I recommend you cover your ears.

Entrecard Contest Finale – Link Lovin – Link Bait Stats
Well I think the Entrecard Contest turned out pretty well. Lets see what’s happened. There a total of 90 entries from 24 different people. 14 new subscribers, though how many will stay I’m not sure of, and about 6 extra back links. Pretty swell link bait results for throwing a contest with free credits if I must say so myself. I think I should have done this AFTER I move to the new domain. Oh well it was a learning experience for me as it was the first contest this blog offered. When I do run a contest after the domain switch I’ll run it with a cash prize so that people who aren’t Entrecard users will be able to participate as well.
From the looks of the entries though most people didn’t come back to comment about dropping their cards for more daily entries. I would have expected more of those participants than the ones who subscribed to the rss or e-mail. It also seems like I still get around 50-60 card drops daily from Entrecard users. Of which only a small margin actually stopped to read the post about the Entrecard contest. Go figure.
As promised here are the contestants that participated through out:
1 @ Movie Cat
5 @ Colin King Marketing

Today’s Winner – Also What’s up With Alexa Today? Google PR Update Incoming?
Does anyone know whats going on with the Alexa ratings lately? I’ve been running about the same traffic for the last two weeks or so, but yesterday my daily Alexa rank dropped to 69,000. Today I’m sitting at about 89,000, like I said all with the same amount of traffic. This makes me wonder how many people Alexa users it actually take to break the top 100,000 level. Apparently less than 150 visitors a day, because that was yesterday’s visitor count.
When I was receiving closer to 300 visitors a day earlier this month posting about the Van Dame commercial, the rating didn’t even show up in the top 100k. I guess the people who play World of Warcraft don’t use the Alexa bar that much, and many of the Entrecard users do.Also there’s been some worry over at the Digital Point forums regarding Google de-indexing many sites. One thread I read had their site traffic drop from 50k – 20kday. Many of these same threads popped up back in September about a month before big G updated its Page Rankings. Is this the start of Google getting ready to do the PR updates again? I wonder how many PR complaints we’ll see this time around. Like I’ve mentioned before I don’t like to pay too much attention on getting PR. Especially when the Whypark test site received a higher PR than my blog did. Page rank has no relation to traffic. Although now when I move this blog to the domain name I’ll get a higher PR rating thanks to Whypark. So that’s a good thing right?
Well that’s enough rambling for today, let’s get on with the winners for the Entrecard contest. I sound like a broken record now, but just reminding everyone to drop off your cards for more entries daily. And leave a comment in the contest post that you did so I can give you credit for it.
Of all the times playing World of Warcraft, and rolling for loot I hated rolling 1 out of 100. This time its a good thing hrmm? Congrats to Movie Cat for winning today’s drawing. I’ll be sending you the credits shortly after this post. Please confirm that you have received them from me. Grand Prize drawing is up in 2 more days so get your entries in while you still can.
