Getting Back to The Basics

Finally the semester of school is over and I passed with flying colors. Now I’m gearing up for next semester. I’ll be taking the next level Math (Introduction to College Algebra, which will be followed by College Algebra, which will be followed by Trigonometry), Visual Basic Programming, and a web-based course (meaning all course work and classes are done online). There’s a lot going on in my life, so this could very well be one of my most difficult semesters to date. Keeping my fingers crossed here.

Also, because of my financial situation and some personal difficulties, I may very well be looking into making a few dollars the ugly way. I’ve been looking at alternatives, but they really aren’t for me. SEO was interesting to me, until I got deep into learning about it. Then I just felt dirty and I wanted no part of it. I decided to take the high road. But the high road isn’t paying my damned bills. I need some money in the bank and I’m sick. That leaves me with few options. I made some good money in November and I need to do that again. So, I’ll be working toward that goal.

I did do some experimenting with what I hope are white hat SEO techniques and got positive results. Two of my posts are in the top of their keywords. That has gotten me quite a few hits. Not enough to sustain anything, but it’s a start. I’ll probably not do a lot more of that here at Chipped Polish, but that knowledge comes in really handy in places like Associated Content. So, I can go back to writing article for them. There’s a couple of other places that appreciate that kind of writing, so I’ll be hitting them up too. We’ll see.

Here’s hoping that 2008 brings better luck for me. I can really use some of that right now.
