Everybody wants more search engine traffic. It helps grow your readership, it converts well monetarily, and it gives you a warm fuzzy feeling when you check your stats.
However, like many bloggers out there you probably aren’t getting as much love from Google as you’d like. Here are some possible reasons why.
What I’m going to show you is a simple method to target advertising at search engine visitors only.
Why would you do that?
You keep ads away from your regular readers as well as any targeted traffic you get - ie. visitors following a link from another blog.

I’ve been looking at my stats as reported by Spotlex and they in no way correlate to reality.

In a word: Nothing.
But that’s going to change.

Sorry about the lack of updates guys but these Chickenpox have really done a number on me. I’m starting to feel a little better now so the posts should start flowing again shortly.
As an example of how important it is to update your blog regularly, I just checked my stats and from my last post […]
I’ve had the chance to talk to quite a few fellow bloggers recently, some new to it, others more seasoned, and I’ve been really surprised to find that so many of them don’t know as much as they should about some important web fundamentals.
