Holy Crap This Blog Made Money!?

Adsense informs me this blog, the rambling unedited mess you're reading right now, has made 1 cent. Its a negligible amount but I'm still quite blown away. I'm not really even trying to make money on this blog aside from my book pitching strategy so maybe there is hope for my for-profit endevours.

speaking of those endeavors maybe after I write enough of them I can combine them into a list and clean it up to post as a hub. though I don't want to have to write them differently here and trying to make what I write for here proffesional-ish would likely be... challenging.

I think this blog may be helping my writing in subtle ways. just now I was writing some background for one of my novel projects and I forgot that I wasn't talking to someone else. I just realized that I've operated in a total feedback vacume for so long when I write I forget I'm supposed to be communicating with other people, I've been writing like I'm the only possible audience. I don't mean like I havent been editing or making sure my sentances are clear I mean at a more basic level my writing was becoming something like an inner dialogue that I happen to edit (or try to edit). thanks internet, your destroying my grammer spelling and punctuation but I think you may just save me anyway.

ellipses are the closest I can get to timing things for comic effect in print. our system of writing really could be improved. not that it will the transition is the only impossible part of such a suggestion.

Prologue to book pitch: Ann Mccaffery is probably my favorite author which is supprising because they aren't really about wars, there is some combat but its not any more central to the plot than diplomatic dealings, labor negotiations, hell musical training dwarfs combat in terms of how much of the books are dedicated to the topic and its importance in the overall scheme of things. She has dragons and I'm a sucker for dragons but HER DRAGONS ARE EVEN PACIFISTS and I still like her writing the best even though in ALL other instances the dragons ability to put a whole lot of whupass anywhere they want is possibly the biggest part of my attraction to them. I like her books the best just because they are fucking better than anything else even topics I can't help but like.

I'm a major fan of good world building and Mccaffery's Pern is excelent, it has realstic politics, sociological problems, social organizations and structures but while they are realistic they are totally origional. living in pernese society would be totally different than any socioeconomic situation most anywhere in the real world but she has even worked it down to the nuts and bolts of the day to day operations of nearly every part of society.

ho shit Ima need to write a hub or at least a dedicated post on this I'm getting all excited and I think more erudite as my attraction to the subject stimulates my brain. P.S. this is the benefit of ADHD happening, now that I'm engaged and interested its like having heightened intelligence until for whatever reason I have to think about something else.

Ann McCaffery's Pern series are interesting in that for the first 2.5 books of the series you think its fantasy but then it the-sixth-senses your ass and you realize its actually sci-fi, nearly hard sci-fi at that.

Sally the Phantom Follower Unmasked!

It's Blatva. she's "Not the commenting type."
Her and 6.5 billion other people I can think of.

This free books widget is pretty bitchin. I approve.

I wonder how long it took me to notice the "1 comment" notice. it's quite small.

This is exciting news. It means I'm not fucking crazy.

Ho what is this amazon feature? watch me fail at amazoning. I enjoy verbing.

hmmm I didn't fail wouldja lookit that. I like reading john ringo's books but for most of them I think you have to be really into the military sci-fi stuff. through the looking glass seams like it would have a wider appeal though. seriously read this fucking book. ringo has hit on the one rational explanation every American should have the right to carry armor penetrating fire arms: alien invasion via backyard portal. Sorry john your name isn't getting edited to a capital R right now.

Ringo's books have clearly improved over time. I liked A Hyme Before Battle but for most of the book I was like "is he still talking about fucking logistics? I realise they're pretty much the real reason wars are won but they sure as hell aren't as interesting as the other elements." Also I never really cared about Sharon O'Neal most the rest of the characters I at least cared a little bit but when she dies I was like, cool don't have to hear about her anymore. Anyway he's defiantly improving I hope that happens/is happening to me.

Hmmmm now that I think about it this feature actually presents me with the option of becomeing a semi legit blogger quality book reviewer. it would give my blog a more respectible mission statement than "type shit."

Blatva it kind of feels like you killed sally the mythical follower of ancient tales.

*Shakes Fist*

I really wish there was some way to make jobs.com realize that I don't meet rhe minimum qualifications for an H-vac technician. why the fuck are there so many h-vac technician openings? I get like 30 emails about h-vac a day.

I'd kill for some way of getting regular feedback. unfortunately there's no one I could kill that would accomplish this goal.

In other news I've named the chick I think actually follows this blog (yes I decided the phantom follower is a girl... hmmm phantom follower is a good title for her, it alliterates. I like alliteration) Until the Phantom follower reveals herself I'ma call her sally, or until I forget.

I'm probably the only person in the world whose first act after winning the lotto would be to hire a good editor. Unfortunately I'm too good at probabilities to play the lotto.

why is there a space for a few seconds under my poll when I load the page. I like it much better when its flush. not that I'm getting anal or anything.


Who needs to know what browser and OS their site's visitors have? seriously googles like if big brother loved to gossip.

Why do American record companies want foreighn bands and whatnot to do their songs in english, who the fuck cares? AKFG should sell records in the US but they'd probably have to do a version with english lyrics for everything. Engrish lyrics are worse than not knowing what the hell they're saying.

Simple Instructions to Make Hubs that Earn Money: Monetized Hubbing for Idiots

Simple Instructions to Make Hubs that Earn Money: Monetized Hubbing for Idiots

This is the same thing as my last post just refined and expanded a bit.

Here's My Idiots Guide to Hubbing for Money

A: I want money B: get paid for clicks. C: On average 1 click for every 100 unique page views. Therefore more page views=more money. Therefore I want as many unique page views as possible.

Use this process to create Hubs with high traffic:

1. Write article
1. Write article on something that might make readers end up buying something.
2. Google doesn’t like bad grammar and spelling
3. use keywords in the article in such a manner that people don’t notice anything odd

                                                              i.      one in the beginning of the first paragraph then more spread out through the rest of the article. (I heard 3-5% of the total article from someone…)

2. Post Article
1. make title and url the same and contain keywords
3. google adwords keywords tool.
1. Select keywords that are searched frequently enough but aren’t too competitive (Yoshi suggested 300 to 5,000 searches a month as a floor and a ceiling)
2. Use keyword phrases with 3+ words
3. “shotgun” in addition to crap-load of relevant competitive keywords and misspellings suggested by adwords include some of your own that seem like they would also fit.
4. Create backlinks
1. social networking

                                                              i.      post link to article on every social networking site known to man.

2. blog warrior/get links posted on relevant blogs and websites run by others (internet street cred)
4. Make sure to have relevant outbound links from article
5. Wait 3 months
6. ???
7. Profit!

Isn't it All Purdy Now

I just spent a couple of hours dicking around with the colors and layout of this blog.

hmmm I see pages are really just posts that appear on a page without any other posts.

Damn

Apparently if I make a new post on the fiction page, it also shows up here. back to the drawing board.

A Possible Use for this Page Arises.

I was just looking at my main page thinking I wish I had some better way to post continuously on different subjects. Then I remembered this fiction page. This page still may or may not be used to house actual fiction excerpts but it will certainly be used for project updates.

Project Update: I think my writing really succeeds when I have an awesome scene in mind. something I can picture vividly. I can write scenes to fill in between these "inspiration scenes" and I think they can be just as good but the longer I go between these uber scenes the shittier the story gets. Cally is now in the middle of a revolt and I get to have my power suit space marines open up a can of wupass as they descend from the heavens. it should be like a 40k thunderhawk gunship had a baby with the air cav scene in apocalypse now.

Interesting; Ceiling Cat Smiles Upon Me.

My decision to acually write out a (somewhat) thoughtful blogesque post has been rewarded and the internet gods now smile upon me. that one post increased my redgage earnings by a cent.

In other news Google searching Falsor Wing now produces my HubPages profile on top or close to it. It may be an unimpressed turtle but it is convenient.

I have the suspicion 1 person is actually following this blog but she does not comment or  give feedback except to answer polls. curious. Don't judge me I'm not crazy.
