My Third Month
Woo! Month three! I'm finally starting to see some results! Now, not monitory results BUT people are beginning to actually READ, share, and ask questions in the comments. So hey, I call that a win.
Basic Website Results:
- Google now trusts me 30% (woohoo!)
- According to Jaaxy.com I have a couple of pages on page two of Google!
- I've gotten a few "Clicks" on my links, SO people are starting to trust me, they just decided to not buy it. Hey, now I just need more foot traffic ^.^
- I totally remodeled my website and it looks SO much better! I now you ShootStar theme. I highly recommend it to ANYONE
Analytics Results
Due to a complication, these results will be for this past WEEK. The reason being is my dreaded IP address changes daily, and at RANDOM times throughout the day... This resulted in messed up results since it was including MY time spent on the website. However, one week ago I realized I could block my city! If anyone has a newer computer and has this problem, I'll walk you through how to fix it!
- Average Session Duration
5 minutes (Not too shabby)
- Bounce Rate
67%
- Pages per session
1.73
Okay, for my third month that's not bad (To me anyways) The bounce rate is so rough because I request comments through WA, so I get a lot of people that click on, aren't interested, and immediately click off. This alters my results. That being said, I've looked at individual sessions, and when they don't come from WA, they sometimes stay on for 25 minutes, and view 8 pages at a time! Ha, pretty good success to me!
Did I Complete My Goals?
This month is another Yes/No
- Solved 5 "contradictions" in the bible- Yes
- Wrote Chapter 2 of my book- Yes
- Wrote the last 4 Major Bible Stories- Yes/No
I say that because I wrote MORE than 4 major Bible story articles, however, I realized that I needed to add in 3 or 4 more stories! So no, I'm not through with my Basic Bible Lessons!
A dear friend of mine has been going through an awful rough patch. We live on opposite sides of the state now, and I've always been the only person she knows that EVER talks about Jesus. She finally called me, asking me all about Jesus, the Bible, and Evil Spirits (Mostly the Latter of the three)
After a week of late night talks, she has bought a Bible, feels FAR more at peace, and is getting to know the Lord better :) She hasn't yet actually prayed for the Lord to come into her heart (She's still a little hung up on the thought that the Lord doesn't love her anymore, that it's "too late") but it's a wonderful start. I'm reminded of a verse
Romans 10:17
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
She's hearing the word, and day by day chipping away at a lifetime of hardship. :) There was no better way than to spend a week :)
Goals For Month Four!
- Make my website Mobile friendly... It looks awful on a smart phone!
- Polish Chapter 2 of my book
- Explain 5 more misunderstandings in the Bible
- Write the LAST of the Major Bible Stories
- Remember it's all about GOD'S timing, not mine!
- Remember the words of Paul
16 Rejoice evermore.
17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19 Quench not the Spirit.
20 Despise not prophesyings.
21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
25 Brethren, pray for us.
26 Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.
27 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
God Be With You All~

Madelaine; very positive feed back and with God's help you will bring all things together for the best there is...
Congrats Madelaine! You've accomplished so much in just 3 months, oh and don't worry, my site looks awful on mobile as well haha, I still have a lot to fix. Good luck and I hope you achieve your goals for this month! Have a nice day:)
Hi Madelaine
It's great to see you developing so well! ;)
Just wanted to give some advice on the bounce rate (67%), when I go to your site (homepage) there is constant loading, think it's the background image causing a severe loading time and mobile users will most likely click X quickly. Try to see from a smart phone how long it takes to load your homepage.
Suggestion: Remove the background image for now and see if this changes your bounce rate.
God bless you.

Please visit this link, you might go beyond the line: Wealthy Affiliate - The Open Education Project
Sure, I'll take a look, thank you! I'm perplexed though, what do you mean that "you might go beyond the line"
Hello! Yes, I looked over it all, but It was just going over the basic functions of the Wealthy Affiliated community, and telling us not to promote our businesses as a means to get people to buy from you. I'm unsure of what line you're referring to. It would be very helpful if you just openly said what was on your mind :) Thank you~
What a blog !
So detailled I have no more patience to write so long !
I hope you will have alot of readers because you do it with passion!
Like you said the bouncing rate is alterated by the people of WA community that leave some quick comment..... and leave !
Some things are getting really superficial !
