THE IMPORTANT BLOGGING NUMBERS

Well now sometimes some things can just turn up out of the blue when you least expect it?!

I have been in contact with someone very nice who has been very keen to speak to me about one blog. She does not realise that I have a dozen if them! She will very shortly!

This was to do with advertising and generating revenue and many visitors on here and many other bloggers have probably asked and wondered about the same question I have and I have asked it on here!

Now as some of you know I actually took a load of adverts off my blogs 6 months ago. I stated that I was feed up and felt like I had been manipulated to give away free advertising space! I told the person this and she understood and felt sorry this had happened. I said I intended to leave any advertising off the blogs for a year before considering returning to it.

I mean ... you would not ask a TV network if you can advertise and then pay them if and when it pays off? You would not do that with tabloids or magazines either! Not even local rags!

Now I do not know what the population is of Enfield but it is one of a great many boroughs in London, albeit barely and loosely as it dues not have a London postcode and used to be in Middlesex. The county is still used when addressing letters too!

The last I looked there were 7 million people in London and there would be a lot more than 7 boroughs! It might be 9 million currently, especially with the influxes that keep hitting the news?!

So safe to say that there is under a million in Enfield and very few of them read the local newspapers! Some do but most do not. Also the locals only get published once a week too so any advertising you pay for gets forgotten within a few days.

Now I asked this person one question after I had initially told her I do not trust the advertising people. The question was 'His many visitors would I need to be attracting both in total or over a month to genuinely know you will generate income?'

Here is an excerpt of the answer..

"(at least 10 minutes of reading per viewer) of  at least 2,000 views monthly is a good chance at pay offs for you"

She also praised what I have done and what I am doing, even if she is based in New York?! Lol!

Now that is the first time I have ever been given a figure to work with! She also thought that I promoted my blog and I do not, not really. I said it I leave it all down to word of mouth. Interested to see if she is shocked by that as well as what I informed her about I am about to place next?!

I am currently uniting into a spreadsheet the current numbers and it is running from the 24th March to the 24th April. Tonight I decided to just go over the numbers despite it being just over a week and it was a surprise. I am having trouble believing the number I now have in my head, lol, so thinking I got it wrong but it is over 1,500 and my memory is yelling me it was over 2,500?!

Admittedly this includes my YouTube videos!

Now I am thinking it was about 2,000 but my head worked out a predictive score after the month of possibly 10,000?

However!! I have only just started uploading videos and linking them into my blogs after a long pause! Added to this all that will continue to increase in frequency because I not only know of around a dozen upcoming things but added to this is the fact the warm weather is here and will increase further! This means that the rising numbers each week will themselves rise faster!

I told her that in four to six months I could be getting over 15,000 and even 20,000 each month!

I am interested to see what she makes of the fact that my numbers are far bigger than she thought I was getting?! Lol!

It also begs another question but first I want to comment on a remark she said. She mentioned about visitors reading for about 10 minutes or more and I forgot to ask her about that! I do not see what difference this make with adverts! At the end of the day if someone leaves a webpage they either click on a favourite or click on an advert! It makes no difference whatsoever how long they are on your website! Your talking about a click that is all. So I am wondering if this ten minute rule is some kind of crap they come yo with to make excuses about why you are not generating revenue?!

It also begs another question!

If I only need 2,000 visitors a month and I am currently not far away from getting that each week goes come my Google AdSense is not making a damn thing? 

Lmfao!

GOOGLE & THE NUMBERS OF MAGIC

Well I have said this a fair few times about Google and its Blogger.

Just like how many companies want to drive you insane by wanting to install a search toolbar of their own into your browser because Google got so rich so quick here is Google REALLY at work! 

Just the other day I had to remove search toolbars from a browser on a friends laptop from Bing, Google themselves, Ask, Yahoo,  AOL and a couple of others I have never heard of and cannot recall. Then there are others like Alexa, StumbledUpon and several others I cannot recall. Most annoying is when CNET started to try and install things on your computer when you were downloading freeware and shareware software from their website, which I stopped doing some time ago now. Even right now AVG has hijacked my start-up page so that I go to an AVG search page and did not even ASK ME IF THEY COULD!!

Fecking greedy scheming rip-offs!! 

Hmm now while we are on the subject how is it we have had it drummed into us time and time again by magazines and such like to install and pay for Anti-Virus Programs and Firewalls, along with how great they are, and all manner of software and BLOATWARE that slows down your system while the whole time several organisations, like the NSA and GCHQ to name but two, have been getting into our computers and storing all our details the whole fecking time?!

Anyone for a group get together to form an alliance to take these software houses to court for taking money under false pretenses?!

LMAO!

Anyway here is a screenshot...

THE SHOES...THEY SPEAK?!

Well I am thankful that I received some money, though I am asking myself how long before they pull this stunt again after already pulling it TWICE.

This is mainly because I was coming home from Sainsbury when my Regatta shoe on my right foot felt all flappy and I looked down and realised they had started to SPEAK!

Unfortunately the only other pair of shoes I have are these flat soled Karrimor which are not good for walking in but have had them 3 years and use them primarily for cycling and even then I should not use them.

So there I was in Sports Direct looking at the specific running shoes with high arches and I had a pair of Nike Air AVORD 10 in my hands which were £35. Just ast I had done the year before and the year before that...well for quite some years now I think about it I was looking at the gel soles of the Asics at around £100 with envy. I even stated to the sales girl that I would be back to buy them in a few weeks time.

I said that last year too!

I thought maybe this year would be different though and not just for the shoes I should be buying but also so that any purchases I make from the cash I should already well be making from my blogs goes towards things that also ADD CONTENT to my blogs and YouTube account. Spend money to make money seems to mean spend money and work for free to big American companies and no longer limited to sweat shops in Asia either.

Still they cannot manufacture figures forever or it will be grossly obvious even to the most stubbornly naive people. A total 0f 17,000 visitors and a rise of 1,500 per week and rising will soon be 25,000 and a rise of 2,000 per week. A month after that, which is a months time, we could be looking at 40,000 and 3,000 per week rise. Then 60,000 and 5,000 per week...well you get the idea.

My current balance states £4.90 so can I expect my first £60 payment in the Autumn or Winter when there are 250,000 to 500,000 while rising at 10,000 per week or more?! LOL.

Currently and even though physios have often told me to spend over £100 on trainers as if money was confetti, I baulk when I see £40, I have not even received enough money to pay for the laces of the Nike I just purchased.. LMAO.

Really what I should be doing is using the Nike as my cycling trainers and buy the Asics for when I am on foot?! This way it should stop me having to buy trainers or shoes every 5 or 6 months?! Also the PROPER and more expensive trainers bought specifically for the walking problem do not get destroyed by constantly being used for cycling!

As well as this I have now seen and ordered a pair of Continental Vapor Tyres for my bike as the old tyres really ned replacing as the rubber is splitting with age and I have had two punctures in as many weeks. I do not get punctures in as many years previous to this lol.

If there IS another and eventually successful attempt at stopping my benefits then I will need the tyres on my bike to be tip top condition too! Now normally the Vapor tyres I would expect to pay about £40 to £50 for them and indeed the last tyres I bought for a bike were Schwalbe Racing Ralphs and these cost me £80 a pair?! SO the fact that including a charge for postage I saw the Continental Vapor at £26 for the pair and with me racing around trying to get photos and videos for these blogs and my YouTube account I thought I had better do it.

After all fixing punctures is bloody painful and therefore bloody frutrating for me, lol.

DIE AND LET LIVE

While out in agony and then suddenly realising why I was suffering so bad of late was due to the long and bitter winter I realised that maybe it is time that I did declare...something else on my blog here on blogger, lol.

In 43 years I can honestly state there has been very little that I have found worth living for...but sometime ago I did find something...

...worth DYING FOR.

There were of course many dangers to starting out on this path and a great many organisations were going to have their proverbial noses placed on the far sides of their faces.

But this was to help that majority of innocent people from going through everything that I did as well as that of my own daughter, her brothers and my two grandchildren.

If I have to die so that others might live without the nightmares I have endured then ..so be it!

But I will take down all that is evil with me I assure you all of that!

Maybe the the weak really will inherit the Earth?! LMAO!

You could call it A LEGACY if you like!

FORUM POSTINGS: BLOGS YOUTUBE & ADVERTISING

Hmm I seem to have a bit of a problem as the difficulty I have had understanding the numbers to my blogs and my advertising account still do not add up, make sense and appear to becoming further apart?!

Now rather oddly I was in a very...good position to notice or be the victim of any possible...anomalies, let us call them for argument sake as i am not yet entirely sure EXACTLY WHAT they are and WHY THEY ARE!

But they ARE and that is the main thing.

NOW...

Almost as if right on cue my blogs have also reached another key and vital point in their existence that started about a week ago, going on RIGHT NOW and continues to do this for the next 2 to 4 weeks?!

Added to this is the Spring arrival and warmer weather and this also has an effect in my numbers too. Inescapable and easily understood once it is explained and fairly rudimentary really. That is in ADDITION to that I have referred to.

So I am quite interested to see what happens by the end of April and then by the end of May this year, 2013. So I have six weeks to go for the first one and ten weeks for the second.

If the weather does turn out to be utter crap in that time it will have an effect but would be of negligent proportions. So the increases on two fronts WILL HAPPEN as I stated but possibly a slight reduction could occur if the weather is total garbage for the next TEN WEEKS.

I have asked a series of questions posted today of the Adsense Forum. I hope there are no idiotic comments from people that think that they only have to open their gate and whatever comes out is of high intelligence. If I ask about a problem it is normally HUGELY complicated and no sound bite will do. But the world seems full of people that can ONLY OPERATE on being fed SOUND BITES! Even Doctors in all honesty! Now whether or not anyone realises this or not I have spent many months on this blog, and many years before hand, proving this. I am STILL probing this!

So the questions are posted and i will tell you this much too...

Also do NOT FORGET that my YouTube account is linked into all this and that in 5 months I have added 200 videos to it and still some to add here when I get the time.

This I would imagine double by the end of May this year, 2013.

I would also add that since being mostly quiet I have had a whole flurry of comments since I increased the frequency of the rate of adding videos, as was intentional as it would help to show me what the problem is, if there IS A PROBLEM at all?!

Often wondered if I chose the right group to blog with, we shall see in a couple of months time whether Wordpress or one of the others might have been a wiser choice?

Hey BOB?! The Times They are a CHANGINNNNGG!! Hehe.

THE SOAK IT UP SPONGE WOMAN!

Sounds like a Marvel Comic title?! LOL!

Well there was an Absorbing Man if I recall but this title is because I was thankful to receive an email from a very nice person who had just told me that AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS that they had read this ENTIRE BLOG?!

LOL, I am truly humbled by that knowledge and in all honesty I never thought that first of all anyone would or that I would be humbled by being told how good it is?!

That was really a surprise and just little things like that make it all worthwhile.

Hopefully if my messages are getting across in some way or another, even but size chunks over time, I can stop a number of people from doing anything...SILLY! Or self destructive?!

It has taken longer than I initially thought, yes. But it is as I said previously it is very weird how the build up seems to be heading to around April. Where I thought I would be in January is where we are NOW! Plus some omissions I was unaware of have been replaced. Two sets in fact hmm or technically THREE.

In April all the things that you were focused on are going to hit home along with all the ones that have gone unnoticed.

I for one kept forgetting about a report I had read about Council Tax Benefit because of the Welfare Shake-Up! Now even I am wondering what else I have missed?!

I have a similar thing with these blogs you see, I am given a wealth of information in the accounts pages much of which is ridiculous, unnecessary and redundant. Then I discover that much of it is not correct and behaving totally abnormally and would be obvious to any mathematician. This is especially true as one set of numbers should affect other sets of numbers but NO DICE!

In fact the FIRST set of numbers has started to rise far more quickly while the others have STOPPED STILL?! Indeed with one number I was well aware it had gone UP but after two weeks the particular number that represents that collective has NOT MOVED!

This particular blog you are reading has been up for 7 months to date (8th March 2013 todays date) and the others about 6 months or a little less. There is a feeling I have had for several weeks now that is growing and faster than there numbers do and it is becoming ... a Liiiiiiiiitle uncomfortable to be honest!

But like everything else, it seems, the end of April to end of May will  be the time to shed the light so to speak!

Will work for less than food? For more than 6 months too? LMAO!
