Hmm.. A post that I had written about Google and the recent AdSense changes, seems to have disappeared from WordPress, completely. I’ll have to figure out what happened to that. Additionally, it appears some posts aren’t posting when they were scheduled to. My newest series should have already started, yet it’s not showing up.
Sorry for the delay folks, but it looks like some features are broken, ’round here. Ah well, no matter. I’ll have it fixed in a jiffy. Until then, you’ll just have to make do without the next series, and the big article about Google AdSense changes and affiliate links. heh.

My continuation post on blogger’s apathy will soon be forthcoming, but for now I’ve realized that one of the reasons for my apathy is that I just don’t know what to write about. So, I ask you:
What should I write about?

Darren, over at problogger.net, raised a very important question, early this month. He asked, if you could only pick one statistic to look at, which would it be? He mentioned that he did not mean one statistics package, he meant “page views,” or “referalls,” or “unique hits,” etc…
So, I’m going to expand on that, somewhat, and ask you two questions.
1) If you could only pick three statistics to check, which three would they be, and why?
2) If you could only pick one statistics package, which would it be, and why?
My answers, on the permalink page.

The year is 2015, and The Museum of Media History has released a ten minute video presentation detailing the history of the current media style.
Beginning with the invention of the Word Wide Web by Tim Berners-Lee in the 1980’s, and culminating in the final face-off betwen Google and Microsoft, the joining of forces between Google and Amazon (to create GoogleZon), and a landmark case heard by the supreme court that – as an eventuality – forces The New York Times to go off line and become solely a print-only media unit, once again, this video shows not only what could happen, but actually provides a very logical possbility of what will happen
in the coming years, as media seeks to re-shape and re-define itsself, and companies like Google and Amazon spend more and more processing time exploring the social make-up and demographics of each individual user’s life and society.

Pardon my sounding like a man on a rant when I ask this… I’ll explain myself in a moment. To be honest, this is a from-the-heart type of post, although it is related to blogging. I’d appreciate your reading it.
…To be even more honest, the response I receive from this post (if any) will be worked into a future post on how to inspire your readers to become involved in your blog. This is your chance to help me write a post, folks. Because right now, this is something I can’t – with good conscience – write about with any authority.
What does it take to get you folks involved in this blog? Seriously. Comments, live chat, anything. What does it take?
Okay (now is the portion where I explain myself), here’s the deal. I’ve been blogging for about a year. I’ve been blogging with regularity since October of last year. In that time, I have managed to get 369 posts on this blog, but only 142 comments. That’s including my comments, and not including spam. (If I included spam, I’d be getting around two hundred or so comments a week.)

The [tagInside Adsense[/tag] blog has an entry on optimizing Adsense for blogs.
Their suggestions? Place ads where your readers will notice (duh).
On the main page, they suggest an ad after each post, and a link unit on the lower right (sidebar).

Welcome to a new feature on MindFyre called “If You Could…” This is a semi-weekly (in other words, as often as I come up with a good idea) feature where I’ll ask you a straight out question, and let you go wild in the comments. This is a time for dicussion, debate, etc… I ask you to link these entries like crazy, tell others about them, get as much participation going. Even if you don’t participate in the other conversations, I think these are most definately worthy.
To start this feature out, this coming week will feature three posts (including today’s) in this category. Here’s the first:
