pandering to my audience
I find myself absolutely barren of ideas for paid writing work. So, while I wait for my subconscious to finish defragging or whatever, I'm going to try a little experiment.

You see, thanks to both Google Analytics and the wp-stats WordPress plugin, I have a fairly clear picture of what searches bring people to my website. Alas, "Jonathan Moeller, Author of Demonsouled and Writer of Stunning Genius" is not one of them.  Instead, I'm getting an ever-increasing amount of traffic based off web searches for the following items:

-Anything involving Ubuntu Linux.

-Anything involving WordPress or MySQL.

-Computer Chess.

-Anything computer game related, especially with DOSBox.

I'm also getting a few searches for "realms of war review", which of course leads to my review of the Realms of War anthology. I strongly suspect these searches are coming from the anthology authors vanity-Googling themselves. Not that I ever do this myself, of course.

But I digress. Over the next week or so, I think I'm going to write various "How To" posts off these topics and see how much traffic they draw down. Is this shameless pandering to the public? Yes, of course it is; I believe that's what they call "writing".
