I Am Still Around

It has been quite a while since I last posted here. For the entire month of July, I only managed to make 1 miserable post on Asia'h Epperson and that is to be expected as I am putting my full attention to my other blogs that are bringing me money.

Another reason is because this blog didn't move up the SERPs at all for the main keyword I am targetting: Asia'h Epperson. All my other blogspot aka blogger blogs also show up far behind in the result pages, but, surprisingly, my self-hosted wordpress blogs are doing very well.

I may be wrong, but, Google sent many new visitors to this blog for the past one month, with the majority of them are searching for terms involving SERPs. If you are not aware, this blog rank well for several long tailed keywords about Google SERPs. Based on the keyword these new visitors search for, I could see that quite a lot of blogspot blog got hit hard by the big G.

That is the problem here, can you see it. Asia'h Epperson don't rank well for the main keyword, but, it does for other long tailed keyword which I have not thought of before. All my links building which I have done is specifically targeting at Asia'h Epperson and when I look at it, I really don't understand why. Anyway, I am not the only one, I think most people don't understand how the system works.

So, I have decided not to pursue too hard, just do whatever I can and if blogspot cannot move, be it. It don't bring in the money anyway. For now, I will just blog here if there is something I feel I need to say and if not, then, most probably will be one post in a long while.

And, yes, Asia'h Epperson is still around :)
