My three blogs:

- The first, A Dull Roar, is about our family going ex-patriate, moving to Costa Rica, and our highs and hurdles here. Lots of pictures, adventures, commentary, and how goes daily life.

- Second, Cloud Warmer, is about my favorite hobby, amateur radio (shortwave only) and what it's like to operate from a foreign country.

- Third one is what I refer to as my Junk Drawer blog, semi-random stuff goes in there - Last Unturned Stone

I gladly reciprocate Votes, Facebook Likes, NetworkedBlogs Followers, Google Friend Connect followers on my blogs, ... well you get the picture!

I look forward to participating with other bloggers here.
Good luck in all your pursuits!

Blog on!! - Casey

[8 replies] Tell me how to Increase Google AdSense Earnings

It takes a LOT of views to get much out of Adsense. Keep that in mind. Get your Adsense ads higher up on the page. Perhaps use banner ads (768x60) below the posts instead of the square. Use Google Webmaster Tools to geo-target your blog to a country which you think will bring in the most revenue.

Anyone notice their Google Followers widget shrink?

Casey ― started talks onto Googleplus, Followers, Blogger Widget ∙ 9 weeks 6 days ago

I've been trying to wean myself off of Google Friend Connect and am using G Followers now on my blogs (on blogspot.com). Yesterday, I noticed that all the widgets on my blogs had suddenly shrunk in width. It's because Google changed the widget parameters. If you go to the layout and edit the widget you' ...

How to use Re-tweets to drive traffic

Casey ― started talks onto Twitter, Retweets, Blog Traffic ∙ 10 weeks ago

Use of traffic exchanges to bring in visitors to your blog directly is a bad idea. Google won't like it, and they are not going to become readers anyway. Using re-tweets, for those TEs that support them, e.g. Traffup.net, inserts a level of indirection that means anyone who clicks on your URL really has an ...

Great blog, especially for armchair travelers who want a taste of the experience of those cross-continent road trips or visits to faraway places. Must read.
