It's just after midnight. I'm tired and should be in bed asleep but instead I'm posting. I often wonder how I could make money from my blog. At the previous job I'd see books like "making google ads work for you" and I wondered if they really worked (then I'd wonder if people really thought they could make a living from a blog). Most of the hints in these books involved posting about current events/issues, linking to popular articles/websites, posting several times a day, commenting on other people's blog to boost your random visitor traffic. This, it seems, is also how you get bumped up in google searches. Basically, it was a guide to how to whore out your blog from internet fame, which as we all know from South Park, means fuck all.
Currently most of my hits come from people search for images of weezer (for some reason that my post about them comes up on the second or third page in google image). It's like twenty different hits a day. That's a little silly and slightly awesome.
A nice little rant to end the day.
