Hey, I just read that Google says the more often you post to your blog, the better your page rank. So maybe I oughta publish my Highly Exciting Polls here in my regular posts instead of wasting all that tasty Google juice on sidebar antics? I actually have no idea what my page rank is, (nor how to find out) but whatever my PR may be, I sure don’t want to upset what I imagine to be its delicate eco-balance.
Plus, how much Really Interesting & Potentially Funny Stuff can I actually come up with on me EVERY day, anyway? 365 days a year?! For the next 55 years?! Oy.
So the “Daily Polls” will be posted HERE in my regular posts, and occasionally – not daily.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, sighs with relief.
Edit: Check back Thursday morning for the plane-jumping answer in a comment at the bottom of that poll. I know you’ll not feel like sleeping or eating until then, but try to okay?!
And below, the scintillating polls that have come before, may they rest in eternal sweet peace.
I have read the same advice about blogging and I have come to realize that there is no set method. Just do what feels right to you and all will be fine. So no worries and I am enjoying the polls.
For more posting frequency, you can just cut and paste a headline from MSN News into a post where you say “I can’t believe that ________________________ happened!” There’s your SEO tip of the day, folks — now BUY MY $97 SEO SUPER-SAVVY-SECRETS EBOOK! $$$$$ 4 U!!!!
Jannie,
How did I miss so many polls? I voted today. I used to post 7 days a week until I got 200 posts up…now I post 2-3 times a week, because I have something to say…
Today I wrote something good enough to stumble….that gave me goose bumps….
@Chris Edgar….sweet comment….:You and Jannie really made for a huge LOL for me today! Thank you both
Jannie — I always enjoy whatever you put up on your site. I guess I haven’t explored your site enough because I didn’t know about the polls…so, I’m glad you’re putting them up. They’re fun:~)
On the other hand, post when you want to post. Screw Google! Sometimes I think Google is like the Wizard of Oz…we all believe in it, but is it our belief that gives Google it’s power?
Good luck with the page rank ju-ju! Bet yours is high. And your daily polls are fun. I’ve never jumped out of a perfectly good airplane (nor have I jumped out of a perfectly bad one), but I’d do it if I had a good ‘chute.
According to the handy dandy page rank meter I have installed in my Google toolbar, your home page shows a rank of 4. The highest is 10, but I’ve yet to see anyone with that. (Maybe Google’s own home page)
As for posting every day, I tried up to 6 days a week but after awhile, the pressure of it was too much. Now I’m down to two and that’s working great for me – time for blogging AND life.
Lynn, less than 30 hours until The Truth on the plane jumping is revealed. Many will neither eat nor sleep in anticipation. Have you yourself given up your Snickers lunches due to the excitement of this all?
Vered: I don’t imagine your life is boring at all, as you certainly are not. Some people do manage to be extremely prolific — with a great post every time! I may be able to do 3 a week, but no more, I think.
Nadia: Yes, there is no one way to blog, that’s for sure. Thanks for the good reminder. I think I am going to look into the PR thing a little closer anyway, can’t hurt to see what it’s all about and make my assessment from there. Ooo, I love learning more about blogging.
Jewel: In the words of Billy Joel, “I won’t go changing to try and please you.” Thanks for loving me “just the way I are.” You’ve given me an idea for a great post — videotape me just sitting here quietly in my chair, typing away. That oughta be a hoot indeed!
Chris! I’m sold — send me 20 copies, please, asap. You take PayPal, right?? You funny guy. I wonder what would happen if one actually did that? Probably zip ‘way ‘way up the PR charts.
Patricia: Is was just a sidebar thing, a passing blip on the radar of my life. I LOVE Chris’s comment — it could totally work I think, yes. Do you think you’ll get a Stumble It button at your site, I couldn’t figure out how to submit your post otherwise.
Mama Z: The older I get the less I am thrilled with flying, but it beats shank’s mare. And do you know that you have a much greater chance of getting hit by a plane while you’re in the air than when you’re on the ground. (Or something comforting like that.)
Sara: Yes, I started putting the polls up in my sidebar regularly, only 3 or 4 days ago, but now that I’ve come to my senses I think occasional ones will be fun. And I laughed but I see MUCH wisdom in your Google Gods comment. What a great way to look at it! We do get decide what is important to us.
Heather: You are a very very smart blogger and Tweeter. And a fun writer. I am glad you have your own domain now with your name, that’s cool. Always so much fun to read your posts and connect with you – not to mention what you’ll do next. You keep me guessing, that’s for sure.
Hey, Thomma Lynn, you and Barbara were commenting as I was writing the last comment!
Hi, Thomma Lynn! I would say my page rank would be moderate to mid-low, as I’m guessing it is, according a 4 out of 10, as Barbara points out below. I am certainly far far far from one of the Big Boys or Girls. But boy, is I having funs in the Internetts with all you wonderful peeps I could just hugs so tight and squeeze the stuffings out of. Maybe I’ll do a poll a week, or so. Still figuring so much out as I go. Maybe I’ll jump out of a plane and videotape it as I fall, then post it.
Barbara, ahh, I’ll have to check into that rank meter thing. I wonder what 4 out of 10 means exactly? Ooo, so exciting! Do I win a prize? Maybe Google will send me some dark chocolate? Yes, I think blogs can remain very healthy posting 2 – 3 times a week, guess it depends on what they offer people. I think that’s where I’ll most likely settle. I will start researching all these interesting blog things. Whoo-hoo!!!
The vending machine at work ran out of Snickers. However, my sister and I bought some Snickers miniatures and beers Friday night and watched golf on TV. It’s hard to beat that excitement.
I just finished several months of posting every day, though many of those were photo posts, and I’m taking a break from it. In fact, trying to post every day is a thing of the past — as of right now, this very minute.
I think you get Google Brownie points for the links into your page, (from others) too-
At blogger we have “Blogs of note” based on average hits per day-
BB, I hope the new running bra isin’t made out of your blue hares-
What color bra flings the farthest, or is it furthest?
Are running bras tighter or flimsier? Is it the same as a sports bra? One will never be able to keep up with all the twists and turns of Funsterland. I have voted on a half dozen polls and like have missed just as many. As to airplane jumping, I voted 0 only cuz you seem to have both feet on the ground. Now if Jim had been an ex-para
trooper, then I guess I could undestand you wanting to go weightless for a few seconds whilst falling to earth. When you were 15 and having your first beer, were there donuts involved? blue bunny is such a tattle tale.
Well, hot-diggity dingle-dogs, what a fine foggy day it is in olde Austin towne.
Lynn: Have you suggested the machine hold ONLY Snickers within?? Snickers and beer, Snickers and beer, I must give it a whirl, break out of my donut mold.
Mike: Did you happen to or are you even remotely interestd in analysing your stats to see how daily posting changed anything for you? I really don’t think I could keep up with daily posting. At all.
Snag: Yes, I know that works like that with Alexa, the links thing, but I am picking up with Alexa it only works if the site that links to you has the Alexa toolbar on their site, maybe. So much to learn about Google. So much fun stuff ahead.
Deere Snag: My Jannie’s newe bra she gots for fiv dollers at saving stor. it is maed of streetchie stuffs, not hares, hee, hee.
Hey Cinder: In my limited knowledge of it so far your PR affects how much you can get paid for some ads and come up higher in SEO searches and such. You could get more readers and hits too. I’m going to look into it more.
Sheila: Am I more of an almond, a filbert, a cashew or a Brazil nut to you? Please say Brazil — those are my absolute favorite. Ooo, something for little ‘ol ME? OOoo, what can it be?
V-Grrrl: WELCOME!! I really liked your paintings. As I said, the second one in your post I Stumbled on, the “Monet” is one I love most. And would have in my home. You selling? So great to see you here, thanks! Hope you’ll drop in again.
Glenn, Oh Glenn, farther– further, they all fling at different rates. The ones with chain mail fly the furthest. Running bras are made of a space age spandex secret formula. Nope — no donuts that night, just wedding cake with my first ever beer.
I will suggest that. Snickers only in the vending machine, please. Someone tried to convince that a Milky Way or Three Musketeers would be just as good. No way, I said – nothing equals the chocolately chewy goodness of a Snickers.
I think jumping out the plane is okay as long as you have a parachute! But it would take a seriously bad plane for me to contemplate jumping with our without the chute.
I love you just the way you are – and you’ll always rank as a 10 in my eyes.
Lynn: It’s the nuts, I guess! That shot of protein that make a Snickers an acceptable meal.
Talon: Why, the last line of your comment just made me smile, smile some more and do a little dance. How can someone be so sweet? And dear? And such a great true friend? (You’re an 11 in my eyes!)
Je ne pas de care le page rank de moi Well… I do care a bit. I was wondering if this poll question is a trick question… how many “perfectly good” airplanes are there? Well, no matter what your page rank “juice” is Jannie… you do have a lot of pulp… that’s the good stuff
Okay, I had no idea how much you posted affected page rank. I posted everyday during Blog365. Now I’m posting half as much…maybe less. Could this be why my page rank fell? Oh well.
Jannie asked “Did you happen to or are you even remotely interestd in analysing your stats to see how daily posting changed anything for you?”
I sort of looked at some things and there was a slight improvement, but I just don’t have the time to keep it going at that rate. Of course, if I wasn’t working right now, I might have the time, but maybe in January (or March) when this contract job end.
Davina: I never thought of the “trick question” aspect of it. I guess that phrase is in my head because my hubby asks “Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane,” (even tho he did it once himself on a dare. He likes to say he parashuted “twice”– the first and the last time!) Page Rank. Page Rank, I’m only just getting familiar with it so I’ll let you in on any big revelations with it as they surface for me.
Tess: I WOULD read your blog daily if you posted, yes indeed! I have a few friends who do post daily and I read and comment on every post, tho sometimes I may only get over there every other day or so.
Jewel: Yep, I guess it can be a factor in the formula, indeed. I have really just skimmed the surface of the whole PR thing, as I said to Davina, if any mind-bending revelations surface on the subject I’ll share any tips I can with you guys.
Hey again, Mike! I kind of thought of trying an experiment where I post daily for a month and check my stats to see what, if anything I might glean. But as you, it’s the TIME factor. It seems there are other factors besides posting frequency involved in the whole PR and stats sphere,It will no doubt be very interesting for me to learn more about it. January or March, eh? I hope your contract is going well for you?
Hmm, I never saw these because my screen setting makes the right column shift off the screen. I have to remember to scroll over. So I’m GLAD you’re putting them where I’ll notice them now.
i am pretty sure there is no such thing as a “perfectly good airplane” – they make me nervous. forget physics – getting a hunk of metal that high in the air seems impossible.

Did I read somewhere that your sweetie broke her elbow?
How is she doing…can we have a caring wishes poll for her..Ouch
.-= Patricia´s last blog ..Jeepers Peepers – Where Have You Guys Gone? =-.
Dot: Ahhhhh, another Great Mystery of The Universe revealed! What an interesting experiment in the polls, in general for me. And seriously? Only my left sidebar shows up on your computer? Is that your computer’s default setting or your preference?
Joaquin: Do you get white knuckles? I guess the joy of flying does wear off after a while, as we age perhaps. I think the Spruce Goose might be good to go on, it’s stationary now, right and to be toured only?
Patricia: Yes, she did indeed fracture her right elbow, poor sweet baby — has a splint on now but goes to a bone specialist soon to get a cast, was too swollen before to put the cast on. Luckily after the initial fall she has not suffered much pain. I wonder where in the world I mentioned that? In a comment on someone’s blog I guess? Thanks for your concern. I’m gonna post pix of it / her next time.
K: Well, the TRUTH has now been posted. On the airplane jumping. But I should interview my husband on the time he jumped from a perfectly good plane — makes for a great story I think.
Where did you read that? Pagerank is based on incoming links. Increase the number of incoming links and your PR goes up. Mind you the more interesting your content is the more people will link to it.
Heather from Happymaking sent me over, and I’m glad she did.
I’m having fun here!
An addendum to your “Mysteries”: When I crave potato chips, why do I head straight for the “Healthy Foods” aisle? For it is there that the best potato chips can be found. And they’re not healthy, either. They’re just better. WHY?
.-= JD at I Do Things´s last blog ..I Judge Things so you don’t have to =-.
I had juice for breakfast today, Jannie. Just a little though – probably a “2″. Coffee – coffee I had lots of – my page rank there is probably like a 9 (is that a good number??).
.-= Lance´s last blog ..Sunday Thought For The Day =-.
Rose: Hmmn, I think maybe it was over on ProBlogger I read that. Can’t exactly remember — I’ve been Stumbling so many weblogs lately. And after I wrote this highly scintillating post I’ve read that a few links from well ranked sites may raise your rank much better than many links to smaller sites. (As to your last line, see my post from today, Oct. 19, ‘09)
Hey JD I do things — Welcome! My comments are at the top of my posts so you may have meant this to go on my post of Oct 15th, ‘09. What brand of healthy potato chips do you like? I’m always looking to experiment with some good fattening empty calories!
Lance: You drinking Google juice straight from the carton again?? I think your page rank is now in previously uncharted territory — like a 29 or a 37! (To all your groupies it is, anyway.)

I think you have the gumption to jump out of a plane, but I still voted 0, because I can’t bear the thought of doing that.

I often wonder about those who manage to post every day, sometimes more than once a day. I guess my life is boring.

I’m sure you’ll never run out of interesting things to say. Don’t feel like you have to top yourself each time. We love you just the way you are

I had no idea. Thanks for sharing that little tidbit with us. When it comes to page rank I usually do every thing w-r-o-n-g.
I was also wondering how to obtain the answers to the Jannie questions. Now I know!

Dot: Ahhhhh, another Great Mystery of The Universe revealed! What an interesting experiment in the polls, in general for me. And seriously? Only my left sidebar shows up on your computer? Is that your computer’s default setting or your preference?
Joaquin: Do you get white knuckles? I guess the joy of flying does wear off after a while, as we age perhaps. I think the Spruce Goose might be good to go on, it’s stationary now, right and to be toured only?
Patricia: Yes, she did indeed fracture her right elbow, poor sweet baby — has a splint on now but goes to a bone specialist soon to get a cast, was too swollen before to put the cast on. Luckily after the initial fall she has not suffered much pain. I wonder where in the world I mentioned that? In a comment on someone’s blog I guess? Thanks for your concern. I’m gonna post pix of it / her next time.
K: Well, the TRUTH has now been posted. On the airplane jumping. But I should interview my husband on the time he jumped from a perfectly good plane — makes for a great story I think.
toodles!

Where did you read that? Pagerank is based on incoming links. Increase the number of incoming links and your PR goes up. Mind you the more interesting your content is the more people will link to it.
I’m still waiting for someone to write a post about how great I am. hehe

HAR!
Heather from Happymaking sent me over, and I’m glad she did.
I’m having fun here!
An addendum to your “Mysteries”: When I crave potato chips, why do I head straight for the “Healthy Foods” aisle? For it is there that the best potato chips can be found. And they’re not healthy, either. They’re just better. WHY?

I had juice for breakfast today, Jannie. Just a little though – probably a “2″. Coffee – coffee I had lots of – my page rank there is probably like a 9 (is that a good number??).

Rose: Hmmn, I think maybe it was over on ProBlogger I read that. Can’t exactly remember — I’ve been Stumbling so many weblogs lately. And after I wrote this highly scintillating
post I’ve read that a few links from well ranked sites may raise your rank much better than many links to smaller sites. (As to your last line, see my post from today, Oct. 19, ‘09)
Hey JD I do things — Welcome! My comments are at the top of my posts so you may have meant this to go on my post of Oct 15th, ‘09. What brand of healthy potato chips do you like? I’m always looking to experiment with some good fattening empty calories!
Lance: You drinking Google juice straight from the carton again??
I think your page rank is now in previously uncharted territory — like a 29 or a 37! (To all your groupies it is, anyway.)

I use to worry about Page rank, but now I don’t worry about it. I just blog.

Rose, that is so awesome!! Your comment reminds me of a great article I read recently over at ProBlogger, about “just blog!” Put your heart into and the rest will follow. Here is the link… http://www.problogger.net/archives/2008/11/30/ten-tips-for-stats-addicts/
