New Blog - Refocus on Atkins!

Okay, Okay, it is time to get back on topic! If you've followed this blog since the begining - you know it was the drawing board to help develop the website: Atkins for Seizures One of the real concerns at the outset was how to support the site financially. As a result, there have been posts here regarding 'work from home', 'adsense', etc.

However, this site seems to be getting just as much traffic or more than the actual Atkins for Seizures site - so I feel it is time to focus in fairness to my audience.

To cover the financial side of things, I've created a new blog: "Honest Work from Home"

This will allow me to sharpen the focus of this blog to how we can help our children through the Atkins for Seizures protocol. Please visit, bookmark and link to these blogs - every little bit helps with the search engine rankings! This in turn makes it easier for the next family to find Atkins for Seizures

Blog Comments; Adsense; and Traffic

If you have a blog, you've no doubt noticed all these 'comments' appearing. They something generic like "I saw your site. It's cool. Check out mine".

While it would be nice to think these people ACTUALLY came to your blog, in reality, there are some software programs out there that post these automatically to tens or even hundreds of blogs. Why you may ask? Simple. All these comments include a link back to the commenter's site. Search engines then spider their sites, see all the links from external sites and grant them a higher ranking.

One of the biggest advantages of more traffic to your site - especially if its a blog - is the increased opportunity to earn money from Google Adsense. If you own website, you might consider hosting some adsense. A little daily revenue from click throughs doesn't hurt anybody!

Naturally, many of these 'comments' point to sites heavy in Adsense. Some of them provide tips on how to increase your adsense revenue. Most are niche sites that contain content designed to attrack higher paying Google Asense keywords.

There is nothing bad or offensive about these ads from my point of view. After all, visitors to a subject specific site will find ads about that the same subject - possibly adding to the content the website host has provided.

My Friend an Author!

"Who Else is You" is a book about Identity Theft. A book written by my good friend Cindy Graham. I realize this has nothing to do with Epilepsy - but it has everything to do with our life. All my life I've dreamed of writing a book. From the moment Cindy made the decision until she had the book in print - it was less than six months!

The inspiration this has provided me is incredible. It just goes to show you that you really can do whatever you set your mind to do!

Check out her book on Amazon:
