Game Over
All good things must come to an end and so it is with my reign as queen of the blogjackers. Apparently the folks at Blogger finally got their acts together and fixed the recently updated list. Damn competence burns me again! And I think I was finally getting close to that coveted death threat after my last post. So once again, this blog will just be me talking to myself. Actually, I have to say that while my three links on Blogger’s Dashboard did bring in a lot of traffic, it was nowhere near the kind of numbers you’d expect from such high profile listings.
I never really cared much about the amount of traffic I had prior to the windfall, but now that I’ve wasted time shamelessly cluttering the site with stupid ads, I feel I need to justify the wasted time by figuring out how to get new click happy folks to my blog (I might as well admit the Mesothelioma post was both a challenge and a joke. Check out this to understand why people’s explanation of it were counterproductive to my purpose. I ain’t stupid). I think I might even turn to whoring myself on (ugh) MySpace. So you can probably expect a lot more changes to the site in the near future.
For the most part, I write this blog for me. But at the same time, I like that it sort of keeps me in touch with the few family members who read it. And, of course, it’s rewarding when people who stumble upon it find it entertaining and/or interesting. As I mentioned in a previous post, this blog has renewed my long-lost interest in writing and I really appreciate those who have showed continued support for this endeavor. I probably won’t discover another nefarious way to bring mass visitors to my site but I do hope to provide the occasional worthwhile post to keep the current regulars coming back.
I’m one of the people who stumbled upon your blog via your highjacking-ways. I find your writing highly entertaining. Thanks for a good laugh most days!
Dont whore yourself. Just be yourself. Unless you’re already a whore, then you may as well use your God-given talents…LOL…I think you should make your blog, the way you want it to be, not the way you think it should be. And within time, I betcha anything, people will find your blog because people like a good read and a good laugh, every now and then.
I was wondering why that blog list never changed. Well, I’ll certainly stick around to read what you have to say. I’ve got ya linked permanently!
C’mon Jenee,
Haven’t you ever heard “don’t give up your post!”? I must have gotten in on the tail end of your blog (or I scared everyone else off). Keep at it and maybe I’ll send in an occasional cynicism or sarcastic remark. (not aimed at you, of course.)How about tackling something bigger than Mesothelioma, like say, organized religion? I think you could do well! Peace……….Jamie
Don’t get down about what you can’t control. I too write entirely for myself, grinding away at the fair hazel nuts at the well od seigas in the sidhe realm; wishing only for the joy of fitting poetic frenzy to tip me into the second joy of the binding poetic principle Jenee me arl muck raking roustabout gadfly gal.
Is everything about the Hustle/Flow? Your blog is funny/interesting, forget the numbers…If you write it, they will come. Now staying is another issue…LOL!
Maybe you should write a brrreeeport about it!
Oh, BTW, I tried the blogger trackback functionality but not sure if it worked!
If you do decide to whore yourself out, how much for blumpkin?
Hey, if writing your blog makes you happy…who cares how many read it. It’s not quantity…it’s quality, baby!! And, since I am a devoted reader…the quality is WAY up there
Heck, besides my family, I only have one devoted reader for my blog…but it doesn’t stop me from writing it. Plus, I refuse to shamelessly advertise my blog on someone else’s comment section. Could be why I only have one reader?!?! Anyway…keep it up Jenee…I need the humor!
I have no plans to change the nature of this blog for any reason. The thing I like most about it is that I don’t have to answer to anybody- I can write about what I want, when I want.
As for wanting to increase traffic, it has nothing to do with a need for ego stroking. I simply want to break even for the time I spent over the last couple weeks learning about and displaying the sponsor links.
well you made me laugh! and i only just found you
your hijacking shenanigans were a major success seeing as they brought me to your blog! it was definitely a case of being hijacked to a better destination than the one I was heading for…not that I knew where I was going!:) keep rambling on to yourself and I’ll happily keep on eavesdropping.(have posted a eulogy to your dating endeavours on my blog)
I am one of the ones who found your journal by accident.
Love it! You are very entertaining.
Dont whore yourself? Rubbish! Keeping on whoring until you cant keep your legs together! How else does one get people interested in one’s blog.
The one talent I certainly have yet to develop is the finely tuned art of whoring my blog. After a month and a half the crickets continue to chirp loudly on my blogspot.
At the end of the day, I dont think you need to self-promote too much. Your blog truly is a cack (Aussie for hilarious) and I know I’ll be helping exterminate those noisy insects from infesting the area.
