Christian Blogger's Journal

Don’t ask me why I decided to create 8 different blogs in the last 9 years. The fact is, the blogs are there and have been given life and even longevity — long as many dogs sad to say (for the dogs). The strange part is, right after I wrote a piece about perhaps offing them with honors , the next day I decided to get ‘er done and do a massive update. This is good news for this blog.  I have to admit, CBJ was one of those blogs I was considering old yellering, but the good news is I found the strength to spend an entire day and a half upgrading all of my Blogger blogs with a new theme. If anyone else knows about blogging, they know this is a massive deal, especially when you have numerous widgets and links to arrange.  Instead of trying to describe all of this to you, let me show a picture of the old and new theme from Blogger (yes, Blogger.com, I’m still there).  Now, let me show you the new updated version: Now, let me show you below the featured story: Now you can see t...

cc from bluediamondgallery.com I just looked at the date of the last post here at CBJ and it was July 13, 2018. So, it's been over a year since I've written a post here. Not the best marketing strategy, yet here I am, writing another post to keep the blog alive and give any readers out there hope the author is still alive and in the same blogging mind.  Of course, blogging is something I think about all the time.

Golfing is one of my passions and lawn care is one of my trades, the match has been great, especially since I get free golf at...

cc from wikimedia.org  Lately, I've been neglecting my blogging efforts, as I've been working for Blogmutt writing content articles. It's been hard to find the time each workday to write a blog article or create a YouTube video, so I've been absent for a couple months. The good news is, I've figured out a new strategy in my blogging efforts. This includes some time management and blog optimization, which I wanted to share with you. Website Optimization I have four main monetized blogs and one ministry blog, all on Blogger with a blogspot.com sub-domain. CBJ is obviously one of these, and as of today on Alexa is ranked: 7.5 million. This is great considering it used to not be ranked at all. The two main ways I monetize my blogs is with Adsense and Amazon Affiliates. The maximum Adsense ads Google wants us to use on each blog is 3, so I placed three ads on each blog. Before, I decided against putting a horizontal banner on top --under the ti...
