Look Out Google! Here We Come!

My husband has been tracking our success online. We had checked statistics 2 weeks ago, and our articles were not even in the top 100 pages?? UGH!! I was so disappointed! I had written several really long articles with keywords, etc. Matter of fact, I was so disappointed I was really tempted to throw in the towel. I had worked really hard for almost 5 months, spending 7 - 10 hours a day on our sites. Now this included everything that is involved. Research, writing, cleaning up things, tracking, tools, etc. I was also OVER TIRED!! Actually, I was totally exhausted! So when I could not even find our posts, I was beyond discouraged.

I also suffered a setback. I was working on Pinterest at 1:00A.M. one Sunday morning, and I had what I call a brain freeze! All of a sudden, my brain felt like it exploded! I had pumped so much information into it over several weeks, I think it could not take anymore! All of a sudden, the room started spinning out of control and my desk was moving sideways. Boy, I have NEVER experienced anything like this before in my entire life. I had to shut everything down and go straight to bed. Unfortunately, things continued to get worse over the next few days. On Tuesday, I ended up in the hospital. After 12 hours there and an EKG, a brain scan, a CT Scan and an MRI, they released me. ( I have a blodclot disorder, so this was the concern because of the symptoms!) It turned out that I was suffering from BPPV, Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. So I was off of the computer for 3 days (except I still managed to pin one pin each day!) I guess I just needed to give my brain a rest!

So after all of this, we checked our stats again today. Well, several of my articles on on the 4th page of Google! I know some will say big deal! But it is a big deal to us. We have gone from not even registering to the 4th page in less than 2 weeks! We are over the moon! We still have a lot of work to do, so I am off to write another article!

MORAL OF THIS STORY: Do not push yourself too hard, or you will pay the price! Also, NEVER give up! Just keep on keeping on and, eventually, good things will come from all of your hard work!
