The Daily Nibble

I thought some of you may be interested in what keywords entered into a search engine could cause you to end up at Gentlenibbles.com. 

There are too many odd ones in here, but every once in awhile we find some pretty funny stuff people are searching for.  A couple odd ones today:

“swamping spouses” - either that is a type or an illegal activity… I don’t know
“windsurf cruise what to take” - I have a feeling this surfer was surprised!

My favorites is often we see search like “Mrs. Gentlenibbles Naked”!  I can assure you there are not any of those public on the search engines yet…. that we know of!  These are a list of the keywords users found us by yesterday in order of their popularity.

OK, I just wrapped up some “major” minor changes over at Gentle NIbbles.  What I mean by that is hopefully they are relatively unnoticeable to the average repeat viewer, but have potential to “break” some things I am unaware of at the moment.

The one I am most worried about is the font size change of the overall “body” content in the blog.  Either I am getting older or for some reason I just have been feeling like the blog is tough to read lately due to the smaller font size.  In an effort to make it a little more friendly I upped the fontsize from Arial 12px to Arial 13px in the CSS.

It is not a big change, but I think makes a lot of difference.  The worry comes from anywhere I may have text that will become to big for the space I have put it in.  It may have fit when it was 12px, but will not after the increase.  I looked through a lot of the blog and did not see any problems, besides the subnavbar which I overwrote in the CSS to stay at a 12px.   If you notice anything that looks “funny” over the next couple of weeks please give us a shout at: thenibblers@gentlenibbles.com

Other changes include:

Adding the RSS from The Daily Nibble to the bottom center of the Homepage.  This will be a good way to get updates about the site out without having to work up a fancy post.  I also hope this turns out to be a more socially rewarding piece of the whole “blogging” thing for me as I can be much more conversational.

I also implemented a much more professional look of the buttons in the “Gentlenibbles elsewhere on the Web” box.  They are standardized now and I think look much better!

I added a notice bar at the top of the blog that will be a good way to make important announcements.  Right now it is announcing the sign-up for the contest.  Please let me know your opinion on this bar, as I am a little worried it is too obtrusive and bringing down the look of the blog.

Lastly, I added a “Special Links” section above the polls on the right side.  This is where I can put links for special friends as well as Blog Directories and Toplists.  These toplists and directories give more traffic the more you give them.  I did have these links hidden on the “Blog” page where they were virtually ignored.  Hopefully now, readers can not only enjoy finding a bunch of new blogs, but will improve our rankings on these sites and bring us more traffic.

I think that is about it….

Today was a record setting day for unique visitors and pageviews at Gentlenibbles.com.  Thanks to a good bit of traffic we received from http://world-sex-news.com.  Today our article on the Monogamous House Party was featured on their main blog page and referred 192 visitors from that article alone.  I had no idea their site was getting that kind of traffic.

This comes as gentlenibbles comes off its two strongest months back to back since its birth about a year and a half ago.  This is really good news to help counter the frustration we have seen over the last few weeks from Google.  For some reason about four weeks ago Google cut the amount of referrers it was sending by over ninety percent.  And as with all things Google, there is no rhyme or reason.  Nothing had changed on our site, but after the release of Google’s latest algorithm we started receiving much less love.

Fortunately, at the same time Yahoo decided they loved the crap out of us and really picked up their referrals.  Especially for the search queries of “squirting”, “female ejaculation”, and “sexting”.  Of which we have a total of four posts regarding those subjects…. Who knew?

Regardless, we still have tons of work to do in the seo department!
