September In Review

Here are is the Blog Earnings pie chart for September. For the book values I used the list price from CBD.com since that is where I would have bought the books from if I had purchased them. Makes the blog earnings a little more realistic, LOL! I am very impressed with SwagBucks as I have earned $10 worth of Amazon Giftcards, and have almost enough to trade in for another $5 Amazon Giftcard. My big cash earner in September was Social Spark as I was able to cash out $50 into my PayPal account. Very nice to have to spend on our trip.

As far as blog rankings go, my goal was to stay below 2000 for the Izea Ranks. That was accomplished, and The Spunky Diva blog even ranked under 1000 for a couple days! Unfortunately, for some reason Google Analytics stopped working around the 1st of the month, and I don't have a true click count for September. I switched to using StatCounter.com on Sept. 27th, and had a whooping 499 unique visitors and 773 page loads. Which just makes me wish even more that I had switched earlier in the month, LOL!

I used NCES Kids' Zone again this month to create the pie chart.

Add a ‘click-able’ signature to comments you make.

While blog hopping recently, I came across this fantastic tip listed on Be Our Best . Jill has compiled her Top 10 Blogging Tips in one place to help others out there in blogland. Most of them I had heard of before. But she had one on her list that I have only seen a couple times in practice, and have not heard a how-to do it before. Number 6: Add a clickable signature to your comments. If you add the following text to the bottom of the comments you leave for other bloggers, whatever text you insert for “Your Text Here” will be clickable. You have to switch out “{“ and “}” with “<” and “>” then it will work. Remember to also change the “Your Blog Address” part, LOL! {a href=http://www.YourBlogAddress.com/ }YOUR TEXT HERE {/a} Bonus Tip ~ I use Notepad to store all the html codes I use on a regular basis {the direct link code for my signature image, color codes, etc.}.
