As I Promised: Q & A
How do you find inspiration on what to write about? and when you do find a subject to write about, how much research do you do or do you just go from the top of your head (i.e. opinion)? - JMom
JMom, I’d have to say it’s a mix. There are plenty of days that I go right off from the top of my head. I see something that I already know about that I haven’t written about yet, and I decide to sit down and write about it. For the average informative post, I’d say I do about 1 or 2 Google searches just to make sure I’m on the right track and to confirm that I’m not passing along a misunderstanding. Opinion posts do seem to get the most traffic, I’ve noticed. As for the inspiration of what to write about, I don’t even know myself. It’s something that I still struggle with on some days that I have writer’s block.
What is your favorite Wii game, and what game are you looking forward to most? - Mattmagician
Ah, the Wii - it’s a fun system in itself. I’d say that right now, my favorite game on the Wii would have to be Super Mario Galaxy. The music is absolutely amazing and I think it’s the true sequel to Mario 64. As for what game I’m looking forward to most, I’d have to say that Animal Crossing on the Wii would be pretty tight.
I don’t fully understand about “No Follow Links.” Could you explain those for me please? Thanks! - Charla
No-Follow links are links that are ignored by the search engines. Google organizes it’s search results in order of authority - the most popular sites (based on linking) appear higher in the search results. Because link ads would allow people to basically purchase higher search results, Google has introduced the rel=”nofollow”. Links with that code (example: <a href=http://sponsoredlinkad.adv rel=nofollow>) are not factored in to Google’s search result placements. Hopefully I answered your question for you!
Thanks to the people who submitted questions - I can’t guarantee that I’ll do this again, but who knows - it’s always a possibility.

Thanks! That really helped me understand about no-follow links.
Hope you do the questions again sometime!

Amino- Cool, it’s always nice to find fellow Mario fans! Who knows, this Q & A might end up becoming a monthly thing.
Charla - Glad I could help clear them up for you - they can come in handy for maintaining PageRank while still selling ads.
