I think most of you will notice that this blog’s rank went down three notches. Boo! I was working so hard to get one more notch up but I guess the big G of the internet didn’t deem it worthy of such.

Are you also a victim of a decrease in the green juice in G’s bar?

Sigh.

Now, I have to work harder to get back this blog’s rank. I don’t know what I will do but I guess I will have to drive more traffic here. My hands are also itching to change this blog’s theme again. I’ve been using the same theme for the past couple of months, maybe more than a year now (?) so it’s more than due for a change.

I don’t know what else to do except maybe write more and socialize more to bring in the traffic needed for a green juice and G’s rank bar.

I don’t know if you have noticed it but there’s an increase in blog contests nowadays. For a couple of weeks now my Facebook feeds as well as my Twitter timeline have been flooded with links to numerous blog contests. Some of my blogger-friends have either joined already or are promoting it so I keep seeing their updates on both social networking sites. Whenever I get to visit other blogs (which is very seldom due to recent events that happened in the family), I also see a lot of posts on contests initiated by other bloggers.

Hey, I joined those of my friends, too!

Most of these contests entail nothing more than following bloggers on Twitter and liking Facebook pages. Some require a tweet, a Facebook update and a blog post. But it’s really relatively easy to join so it’s no wonder a lot of bloggers and non-bloggers alike join.

The only thing is that after the contest is done, you are left with Facebook pages and Twitter follows that you barely know and truly like. Since you really can’t unlike and unfollow afterwards (you can but shame on you if you do that!) you are stuck with it. What to do then?

And I have never won any blog contest yet!
