Client Projects

Late last night, I sent in another draft for an article to one of my clients. Today I really, truly, absolutely must catch up for my other active client for articles.

Weebly on Google

As well, I had published a very short blog entry about the Firestick Cactus back on Feb. 27, to test how well it would come out in Google searches. "Why 'Firestick Cactus'?", I hear you ask. My articles on this subject, hosted by Environmental Graffiti and Suite 101, have ruled the top-10 Google results for many months.

Today is the first time my Weebly entry was indexed and reported. The Canadian Google result was #11, and the American Google result was #12.

Again, this was only a test for Weebly's standing in Google's estimation. The Weebly blog article was fairly short, so it is not surprising it did not make the top 10. However, it does support my theory that good SEO in a low-competition keyword category can rise to the top. I certainly do not believe that Google likes me personally.
 
Today my writing will focus on my two active client projects.

For the one, there is one chapter of his book that he wants to be able to use as a stand-alone article. He gave useful and valid feedback, so that is my first mission.

Yesterday I edited a couple of draft articles for the other client. The biggest piece of work there will be expanding one topic into a set of five articles.

Since I started the Wordpress site yesterday, I need to organize my daily and weely priorities and make time to enter blogs there as well.

I just decided to retain this style: one blog page with many entries.

Let me explain. I worked all last night on one client's book, then went to do my first daily blog entry here. I had been toying with the idea of using one blog page per month, rather than one page per day.

After beginning that entry, I realized that I would still have an unmanageable set of pages...as I do at the moment...without the benefit of the "categories" shown in the right margin.

So my decision about the blog format in Weebly is:

  • Stick to one blog page
  • Add many focused entries
  • Use the categories

 
I have feedback from my two active clients, so I need to continue working on the articles and book for them.

Yesterday I posted a quick article about the Firestick Cactus here. Today I need to "publicize" it, or rather bookmark it where most people will not "stumble upon" or "digg" the reference. Later this article's SERP (Search Engine Results Page) data will be compared to my prior search-leading articles. That should indicate whether I have a future in writing articles in niche blogs rather than being tied to article sites.

I will attend a meeting today to initiate a Wordpress project for a new client.

All these tasks have high priority and high urgency. Unfortunately they keep me away from pursuing new articles.

This was the first time I have pulled a "nearly all-night" session to catch up on the one client's book. I think that I have retained some critical editing ability despite the lack of sleep.

    Flexible Sidebar

    Weebly's "Blog Author" widget from the Blog Sidebar's Elements menu provides a lot of flexibility. You can change both the title and the text.

    It has all the capabilities for text editing that you find in most Weebly text widgets.

    At this point, I don't see a way to code any HTML in this widget.

    The "Picture" does what you expect: it displays an image of your choice. I just added my home-made picture of "Copyright DeHaan Services 2013" as the top element in this sidebar on Jan. 22, 2013.

    The "Search Box" is a "Pro" feature; if you're paying for Weebly hosting, it may be worthwhile.

    The other widgets are pre-programmed to do what they say.
