Squid Ink http://inkserotica.squidtop.com My work & time on Squidoo.com Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:13:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 en hourly 1 Spammers and traffic http://inkserotica.squidtop.com/2010/03/10/spammers-and-traffic/ http://inkserotica.squidtop.com/2010/03/10/spammers-and-traffic/#comments Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:13:37 +0000 Carrie http://inkserotica.squidtop.com/?p=423 For the second time this week, I’ve reported yet another lensmaster for spamming in my guest book.

I say lensmaster but these people have no lenses published, have rated none and have favourited none.

However, it’s annoying! Especially when the traffic to my lenses have not recovered since Squidoo had that down time.

After a lot of work I finally managed to hit the 4,000 visitor mark but then Squidoo went down and now I’m struggling to get past the 3, 500 mark.

I’ve been expanding my internet profiles and have now decided to do more with my Orkut profile. So, if you have a profile on there please do add me as your friend! :)

Usually Squidoo is very quick in sending earnings to Paypal but this time there seems to be a wait. I’m hoping that there is no problems!

This payout is a very welcome Birthday present for me :)

This can include mysteries, the unexplained, the paranormal, the weird and unusual and everything in-between.

  • More and more lenses of mine are struggling for traffic. A vast majority of them are at 0 or 1 visitor. I’m running out of ideas to get them noticed.
  • My nominations for Purple Stars (not my lenses; I don’t nominate my own) are not getting picked.
  • The traffic to my lenses have dropped considerably.
  • People rarely comment on my blogs on blogger. (I don’t include those on Crabbysbeach, Squidtop because I do get comments on those!)
  • I’m way behind on my designing….my laptop gave up the ghost and I’m struggling to get back into the flow of things.
  • I’m disheartened and angry with my doctors. Results of my tests have come back with abnormalities but I’m told they’re normal (when they are so obviously not) just so they can fit it all in with the diagnosis of IBS.

    • I’ve decided to do things for myself (as I always do) in regards to my health and have come to the conclusion through experience and tests that I have numerous food intolerances. I do not have IBS!

    I’m appalled at the bedside manner of one GP I had a phone call from regarding my blood tests who said that as I wasn’t dead I couldn’t have bowel cancer! Nice! I never said I did! I just want them to acknowledge there is something wrong even if they don’t know what it is.

    So with a lactose intolerance (a new one) I’m cutting out all food products containing lactose and see how I go.

    Next, it will be wheat…
