Amie Street Wednesday #8

Posted in Amie Street Music Wednesday on October 24th, 2007

Welcome back to another Amie Street Wednesday. I, Mouseclone, am your host for this edition on Mouse Clone. Please sit back and enjoy. You are in for a ride with this one.

Via Tania has a unique style, well it is to me anyway. Her music is demented and dark. The introductions to her songs are light, they soon turn to dark, and keep taking you no a trip that, well lets say some don’t want to go on that trip to the dark side of the brain. All the more is the reason why you should visit the dark side once in a while.

Dark Music For Dark Times starts off light and dreamy. Soon it takes you away from that, and into the darker side of things. At the end you are released back into freedom. This is a roller coaster ride. It is a great mind trip with out the side effects of drugs.

What are you thoughts on Via Tania’s music? Anything else you would add?

DoG is having a Contest.

Posted in Personal on October 23rd, 2007

That right, we are talking about a post contest. Can you post more comments than someone else. These comments have to be related of course. You can view the original post here and you will be able to see the follow up post here that tells all about it.

I am glad that he changed the rules some or at least made it where my entry could be a blog post about his contest. This in turn give him another link back to his site and It gives me a post for today. That is what I call a win-win even if I don’t win the contest.

Driving traffic to your blog…Just what I have learned.

Posted in Website Updates on October 22nd, 2007

I have done a lot of reading on different SEO tips. I find that Digg traffic although great at first is not traffic that stays with you for long period of times, I could be retracting that statement because digg.com is highly spidered by google and even post for my blog will show up on digg.com before they site shows up in the rankings.

Sites like these have also increased my traffic. I will not say by a great deal but it does help. I’m not one for social sites but this one seems to be better than most.

Thoof.com is a great site, it is better than digg.com I think. Traffic seems to hang around on the site from there more than from digg.com. I really don’t like high bounce rates.

Also you will want to get awstats install on your site, if you do not already, as well as google analytics. This will help with what key words to use on the site, and what your traffic is really shaping up to be. You will also be able to track patterns and other such things with the stats that both give you. They will not have the same stats but you can’t have a perfect world. I believe google more than awstats, but I use awstats because it updates every 15 min the way I have it set up and I don’t have to wait a day to get my stats.

Changes

Posted in Website Updates on October 22nd, 2007

You may have noticed a few changes here. I don’t know if they are done yet but I’m giving them a rest for the night. Please let me know if you like the changes made. I’m hoping to give more room for what matters and less for what doesn’t. I don’t want to leave anything out though. So let me know if you think that I’m missing something.

Other than that, please continue to enjoy reading Mouseclone.com. I will continue to update and bring you my point of view, how ever twisted that is.
