The Doom of Google Panda

Since the launch of Google Panda, because of the new algorithm, my site has taken a nose dive to 1/4 of its ranking and the same amount in revenue.  As much as this is a hobby of mine, I have decided that I will only blog every once in a while to keep documentation of the signs of the times.


To me, Google Panda is a way for our government to demote the readership of blogs and therefore censorship.  Bloggers get information in a much different way than main stream media and that scares our government.  They have talked about blogger control for some time now and this seems to be the way that they are doing it.

Thank you to all of you who read my blog(s).

Again, I will intermittently blog on signs of the times for my own hobby, however, I cannot pursue this as hard as I was prior because, even with great sources and great pieces of news gathering, my blog has nose dived to worse than when I first started writing in it.

Thanks again.  Please read when I post.

Managing Time...My Lessons

I'm learning that between my blogging, networking my blogs, and everything that goes into the articles that my time management skills are in need of work. I seem to be burning the candle at both ends between taking care of my family, an illness, and my love of reading and writing.

Therefore, tonight I spent some time on my developmental blog site at

where I manage all of the new information that I continue to learn regarding "Technology, Widgets, Networks, and More...Increasing Traffic and Personal Happiness In Blogging" during this Internet journey.

I wanted to write both blogs tonight, as I usually do, however, with this illness, kids home sick, a Husband out of work, etc., today just kind of became an out of balance day.

So, to all of my readers, I appologize if the topics on my other blog site are not your type of topics. I will be writing more on this site tomorrow, attempting to regain some semblance of daily balance.

Thank you for your patience and for your loyalty in readership.

Here's a little laugh from

Two bachelors, Larry and Frank were out to dinner. The conversation drifted from office, sports to politics and then to cooking. “I got a cook book once” said Larry. “But I couldn’t do anything with it.” “Too much fancy stuff in it, huh?” asked Frank. “You said it, Larry replied, nodding. “Every one of those recipes began the same way: “Take a clean plate…”

Blogging for Public Consumption...Writers Must Have "Thick Skin"

Learning the ropes of writing for public consumption comes at the cost of a writer's self-esteem if they are not able to stand behind their writing and have a "thick skin".

Writing a weblog and publicizing it can be risky for anyone, but especially for those who utilize their own opinion in their writing.

Be prepared for comments from readers that range from complimentary to deranged.

The public has complete freedom to give their comments and personal anecdotes regarding your writing content, style, and even your profile picture.

My blog is an example of a writer using her right to state her opinion via the Internet. It's a risk, but I feel a bond with my readers, as well as a strong passion for the topics I write about.

With strong subject matter, I expect and accept strong criticism and place it where it belongs. At times, it may change my opinion or open my views on the subject matter I choose to write about.

The creative process is a beautiful process. Most of us, who start writing for public consumption, write because of passion.

The passion may or may not be for writing itself. We may write instead because we have a passion for a certain subject matter and want to share our passion with others.

Whatever the passion, when strong criticism is given from a consumer, a weblog writer must return to the passion, to the feelings of why they began writing and sharing in the first place.

Stay in the game. If your passion is strong enough and if you are regimented enough, which equals...

...Consistency in writing
...Consistency in advertising
...Consistency in publicizing
...Consistency in reading and researching
(in no particular order)

...your invested time will pay off and your self-esteem will thrive in the process.

As a weblogger, I am learning the skills of writing, advertising, publicizing and researching and appreciate my readers' patience and sharing my development journey.

I greatly appreciate the network of bloggers I am creating and the tools that have been created to gather them.

Have a fabulous weekend!
