Monday morning… what am I going to talk about today? This week? I had my weekend break… except I actually posted on Saturday for some reason two weeks in a row for some reason… Well, it's Monday morning and I haven't been banned yet because of my April Fool's joke, but we'll see what happens today once the people in California wake up. OK, that's a good start, but how long can I drag it out? AdSense support still hasn't responded to my inquiries about it. Sometimes I feel like a daily columnist for a major newspaper… deadlines, deadlines… I guess I'll just keep things as-is on this site until I actually hear from them. If I stopped posting for a few days so I could finish my new book, will anyone care? I guess I have to wait until the fuss from Joel Comm's new edition dies down anyhow. If they don't like my April Fool's joke (and I've heard from some readers who didn't because I made it and the Chitika one … wish I could get a few more referrals… too realistic, sorry!) then I'll have to remove the offending post. My readership's been going up recently, starting to hit a critical mass… would hate to lose that… That's one of the downsides of writing controversial/misleading/humorous material. Good, good, controversy is good, especially when it involves the Big G… You get lots of “link love”, yes, but you can also get some grief from it in unanticipated ways. I definitely don't want to lose those links to my blog, I'm finally starting to recover some PageRank from the domain change I did recently… If you find yourself having to get rid of a posting you made, it's better not to actually delete it. Wonder if Rowse or Jensense have said anything interesting this weekend that I can comment on? It's better to edit the post so that incoming links remain valid; post an explanation of why the original post was removed — it might even generate more controversy and link love for you! This is probably obvious to a lot of people… hard to write a single posting that interests both the pros and the newbies… better slant it for the newbies, they're more likely to make me money… Apparently, though, I've learned how to write good press releases, so I've got a fallback career in PR if Google decides to terminate my account! After all the good I've done for them… not like they seem to care or anything…
In the next posting, I'm going to talk about … what? where's my topic list? how much more can I talk about the single-page site anyhow… maybe directories… no, no… traffic… no, did a lot of that already… hmm… fun with the <noscript> tag? No, hopefully Rowse will print that article I sent him about it… maybe something more about layouts… the different kinds of page layouts for single-page AdSense sites. Don't forget the bio!
