          I loved that song. I have not heard it in a while.

        I wish I could! Do you have a good example on how to do that?

      Go on vacation, or, write series about nothing and see what traffic answers.
      Peruse the Net until you find something which interests you..

    Be the change you want to see in the... no...

    Two steps forward... no...

    Don't put all your eggs in one... no...

    If you threw a party and invited everyone you see, you would see the biggest gift would be from me and the card attached would say, thank you... huh....

    I got nothing.

    Don't worry, be happy. smile

    We could somehow entice Google to display hubs at the top of search results in all English-speaking countries in the Southern Hemisphere?

        It's easy.  You just pay for AdWords!

          I tried that when Google offered $100 worth of ads free. It brought so little traffic that it wasn't worth it and gobbled up the money in no time. The only way I'd use it again is if I was selling a big ticket item on my website.

      Last year, I was doomed from May 9 to August 24 (those are my for-real dates).

      I am in Australia, so summer is ending here. Sounds like it is quite an annoying period, where you just have to pump out more - at least, that was what I was thinking. The last few days have been a bit yukky, hope it stays on an even doldrum keel with traffic.
