Well, I did pretty well towards my goal yesterday. 850 lines of transcription rather than 1000, but that’s not bad, considering I often do only 500.

AdWords can drive me nuts! I just went to check my stats, and it’s down at the moment. I really have to get transcribing, but I guess I’ll have to check back later. At least the outages are short when they happen. I’m testing a minimum of two ads on each of my campaigns right now, trying to get some decent clickthrough going. It’s pretty tough. Honestly, if you want to try advertising on Google or any other pay per click engine, read up on it first. You’ll save yourself a lot of money, and it isn’t easy even then. For the moment, I’d recommend starting with Google Cash, and once you’re going, then think about supplementing with the Search Engine Institute. They have some things in common, but they are very complimentary.

I decided to make it easier for other sites to link to me. I added a form for webmasters to fill out and four suggested links for them to use for my site. Each goes to a different page, so more of my pages have a chance to build relevance and links can be more relevant to the sites they are linked from. I think it will be a good strategy, but only time will tell.
