Returning to Client Projects for Saturday
Mike DeHaan
The plan for Saturday is to return to my client projects, since I had developed some freelance articles recently.
Yesterday the client for one project, on Six Sigma project methodologies, gave me his approval for the work done to date. That translates into "Keep going and finish the rest".
At least one other project has a number of vacant chapters, but I have a good idea of what to do in them. Between those two projects, I should have a busy day.
If not...there are still more articles I could write.
As well, I should bid for some new projects soon.
The lesson is obvious: keep the plate full.
I did indeed send an update to my most recently active client.

Newly Publicized from Suite 101

I spent an hour promoting these two articles across most of my bookmark sites.
Choosing Chocolate or Carob as a Valentines Day Gift was just published yesterday. It "immediately" went to Google and also to "blablabla"-dot-com. The latter gave me at least one page read today.

Newly Publicized or Updated from Squidoo
Sketch of Doukhobors in Gorelovka, Russia, 1893 by H.F.B. Lynch
As noted above, it took about an hour to push these articles onto the Internet.
The DeHaan Lens for Doukhobor Beliefs and History has also been mentioned previously, I do believe.
I also updated The DeHaan Lens for Coat Rack Stands. It was #3,589 in their Home and Garden section, and one of my more highly-rated lenses. My experiment was to add another text section and another Amazon product section. Many of their featured or highly-rated lenses are of significant length. I do not know whether their rating system takes that into account, or if it simply goes on the basis of the number of page-views, "likes" and cost-per-action revenue. My theory is that the "likes" are important.
However, if the length and number of sections influences the rating, this might make a difference. The ratings themselves are important for the sequence in which lenses are presented to a visitor to a section, so it is worthwhile to pursue high ratings. Tomorrow, let's see what happens to its rating.

Personal Work to Begin Sunday
After joining the 8Km run with the 10Km Running Room clinic, I went to church, had lunch, checked e-mail and social media.
My top priority for today is to catch up on personal finances. It is the end of the month, the traditional time to balance the chequebook. Done!
Later, I would like to correct the final page for one client, and then rough in the missing chapters for another. In fact, I did turn around the single page...in 2 hours...as a major rewrite.

Updating an Ancient Suite 101 Article on Bed Bugs
Adult Bed Bug by Piotr Naskrecki for CDC/ Harvard University
Statistics show that Bedbugs - Symptoms, Signs and Solving the Problem remains extremely popular, even if bed bugs are not.
The top search item has been "bed bugs symptoms", so I made these words more prevalent. My SERP (Search Engine Result Page) was not number 1 for this key phrase, so this article deserved a boost.
I also changed the opening image in my Squidoo Bed Bug Mattress Protectors lens to the one shown here, when I realized the former image was not shown
