| England-Google+ |
As noted on my present Facebook status, I noticed for the first time that with my two Google+ profiles associated with my two blogs, one blog per Google+ account, that 'view' statistics were provided.
I was surprised that relative to the Blogger blog (s) pageview numbers, how much higher the Google+ site's views were.
The Google+ sites are several years more recent than my blogs and in my opinion I do not have that many 'followers' relative to those recently documented Google+ views.
I view myself as a moderately successful blogger with two blogs writing in the difficult genres, as far as gaining views, of Philosophical Theology, Philosophy of Religion, Philosophy and Biblical Studies with Satire being a major component of my second blog.
I have not been significantly publicly embraced within the Church or in a secular context, and yet I do have slowly increasing readership, it appears within the Church and secular society.

Satire And Theology
Blogger (Google)
137 followers/485,788 views
My first blog was established in 2004 with basically full-time blogging beginning in 2006. The blog was restructured in 2006 and I deleted some satirical (Bobby Buff related) posts taking this approach to my second blog, Satire And Theology, established 2006.
My Google+ accounts and sites were started this decade and therefore have many more pageviews than the Google Blogger accounts in much less time.
Perhaps the use of the animated clips, often humourous and sometimes educational, featured on Google+ and borrowed legally, make my Google+ sites more marketable overall, and more popular than my Google Blogger sites.
Even so to have 933, 000 views with my first account associated with Dr. Russell Norman Murray blog and to only have 112 followers is disappointing and somewhat of a concern as far as actual and potential readership and support.
The same can be stated for my second Google+ account, associated with my Satire Theology blog, as I have over 2.5 million viewers and only 58 followers.
That statistic seems very disproportionate! Two and one half million pageviews according to Google and I do not even have 60 followers.
Laughable.;)
I would have never reasoned with 58 followers the Google+ numbers would equal the Google Blogger pageviews at this time.
Forget the reasonable reality of surpassing them substantially.
My sister-in-law on Facebook, a professional online marketer, was impressed with the Google+ statistics. Which is a positive.
But as usual with me, I am seeing mixed signals here. Perhaps my academic, skeptical nature.
Chuck has stated previously that I could start my own Christian cynics club...
Overall, this year especially I am noticing more significant growth with my sites. And I am thankful to God and my supporters for this growth.
Incidentally, I shall present the Google+ statistics for my two 'dummy' sites, noted previously on this blog, that were simply formed because Google kept emailing (annoying) me and telling that each Google related email should have an associated Google+ account, making it more difficult to sign in without Google+.
These are accounts and sites that I have zero interest and intent in building, but they serve as good contrast.
R Wales 8 followers|3,631 views
R Wales II 11 followers|425 views
I often wonder how with two blank pages and zero effort I managed to get 19 followers, more so sadly and satirically only 39 behind the Satire blog...
That is a bit concerning.
However, obviously the views tell a more revealing story.
Then there is my good blogging friend Ms. Eva from Brasil and her home decoration blog with 32 million views on Google+ and 13 million Revolver views.
Yes, this is why I realize I am merely moderately successful...

The German Shepherd-Husky (yes he and the cat were 'deeply secretly in love') on the other hand insisted, when given the opportunity that he follow everywhere, jumping into the Ford F250, forgetting that virtually every time this led to him 'ralphing' in the truck.

ReplyDeletePhilosophical question
If I looked more like Bobby Buff circa 1990s, would I have more Google+ followers?
Hmm, well, I did tell him he would be popular in San Fran.

Hey guys,
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for a new web host for my blog, can u guys help me? What about Midphase? Do u think it is a good company? Pls give me some advices, thank you.
Here's a Midphase Review by a Google search.....
MidPhase is a highly reliable and fairly large web hosting company, based in Chicago. The company first commenced its operations in the year 2003 and is growing at an exponential pace each month. Reports suggest that the company adds over 4000 new hosting accounts each month to its customer base. Many analysts and reviews suggest that the company has set itself in a league of its own in the hosting market and is considered the best in terms of hosting plans, affordability, products and support. This gets validated by the fact that the company has an ever growing customer base. So surely the company must be doing something right in order to achieve a huge figure each month.
MidPhase offers Linux web hosting, shared web hosting, VPS hosting plans, dedicated servers as well as website design services. The company also provides site, domain and database transfer services as well as renew your domain name. Also take note of the fact that AN Hosting is also owned by MidPhase.
Furthermore, the sign up process at MidPhase is fairly quick and simple. It took us less than 5 minutes to open a hosting account with them. In a bid to heighten and enhance their fraud prevention services, the user is required to confirm their order either by phone or fax after which the user's hosting account is successfully set up.
The company is commonly referred to as the "best budget hosting company" with an amazing technical and customer support system. Support is offered 24/7 both by toll free phone and email. Customers are highly pleased by their solid 99.9% uptime guarantee as well as a no questions asked 30 day money back guarantee. The company boasts of highly advanced servers that are housed in equally advanced and secure data centres. Customers also get the benefit of cashing in on ad credits worth $50 and $25 from Yahoo and Google respectively. By using a [URL=http://www.retailmenot.com/view/midphase.com]Midphase coupon[/URL], you can now save 50% of the hosting costs.
Other features include 200,000 MB of disk space and 3,000,000 MB of bandwidth on their smaller level plans (@ only $7.95 per month) and 2, 50,000 MB of disk space and unlimited bandwidth on their higher level hosting plans (@ $11.95 per month).
All in all, the company is at par with the best out there in the hosting industry and has managed to climb the rungs consistently enough. The company is here to stay as it continues to offer unparalleled hosting services to its valued customers worldwide.

ReplyDeleteFor icy door steps in freezing temperatures: Get warm water and put Dawn dish
washing liquid in it. Pour it all over the steps. They won't
refreeze. (Wish I had known this for the last 40 years!).
============ ========= ========= =====
To remove old wax from a glass candle holder, put it in the freezer for a few hours.
Then take the candle holder out and turn it upside down. The wax will fall out.

Crayon marks on walls? This worked wonderfully! A damp rag, dipped in baking soda.
Comes off with little effort (elbow grease that is!).

Permanent marker on appliances/counter tops (like store receipt

============ ========= ========= =====
Whenever I purchase a box of S.O.S Pads, I immediately take a pair of scissors and
cut each pad into halves. After years of having to throw away rusted and unused and
smelly pads, I finally decided that this would be much more economical. Now a box of
S.O.S pads last me indefinitely!
In fact, I have noticed that the scissors get 'sharpened'' this way!
============ ========= ========= =====
Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little hydrogen
peroxide on a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood. Works
every time! (Now, where to put the body?) LOL ( I wouldn't try this on coloured material) ====== ========= ========= =====
Use vertical strokes when washing windows outside and horizontal
for inside windows. This way you can tell which side has the streaks..
Straight vinegar will get outside windows really clean. Don't wash windows on a sunny day.
They will dry too quickly and will probably streak.
============ ========= ========= =====
Spray a bit of perfume on the light bulb in any room to create a lovely a light scent
in each room when the light is turned on.
============ ========= ========= =====
Place fabric softener sheets in dresser drawers and your clothes will smell freshly
washed for weeks to come. You can also do this with towels and linen.
============ ========= ========= =====
Candles will last a lot longer if placed in the freezer for at least 3
hours prior to burning.
============ ========= ========= =====
To clean artificial flowers, pour some salt into a paper bag and add the flowers.
ReplyDeleteShake vigorously as the salt will absorb all the dust and dirt and leave your artificial
flowers looking like new! Works like a charm!
============ ========= ========= =====
To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or two of
dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to a boil on stove top.
============ ========= ========= =====
Spray your TUPPERWARE with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in tomato based
sauces and there won't be any stains. I do this all the time and it works great!!
============ ========= ========= =====
Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
============ ========= ========= =====
When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help bring out the corn's natural
sweetness.
============ ========= ========= =====
Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half, and rub it on your
forehead. The throbbing will go away. (I prefer to soak the lime in
Gin and rub it on my tongue first) AMEN!!!!
============ ========= ========= =====
Don't throw out all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes for future
use in casseroles and sauces...Left over wine? What's that? :)
============ ========= ========= =====
To get rid of itch from mosquito bites, try applying soap on the area
and you will experience instant relief. ( also inside of banana peel)
============ ========= ========= =====
Ants, ants, ants everywhere. Well, they are said to never cross a chalk line.
So, get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or wherever ants tend to march.
See for yourself.
============ ========= ========= =====
Use air-freshener to clean mirrors. It does a good job and better still,
leaves a lovely smell to the shine.
============ ========= ========= =====
When you get a splinter, reach for the scotch tape before resorting to
tweezers or a needle. Simply put the scotch tape over the splinter, and
then pull it off. Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly and easily. True!
============ ========= ========= =====
Now look what you can do with Alka Seltzer. Clean a toilet. Drop in two Alka Seltzer
tablets, wait twenty minutes, brush and flush.
============ ========= ========= =====
Clean a vase. To remove a stain from the bottom of a glass vase or cruet, fill with water,
and drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets.
============ ========= ========= =====
Polish jewelry. Drop two Alka Seltzer tablets into a glass of water and
immerse the jewelry for two minutes.
============ ========= ========= =====
Clean a thermos bottle.. Fill the bottle with water, drop in four Alka
Seltzer tablets, and let soak for an hour (Or longer, if necessary).
============ ========= ========= =====
Unclog a drain. Clear the sink drain by dropping three Alka Seltzer
tablets down the drain followed by a cup of Heinz White Vinegar.
Wait a few minutes, and then run the hot water.
============ ========= ========= =====
Do your friends a favor. Pass this timely (and some not-so-timely)
information on to a friend! I know I just did.
Makes you wonder about ingesting Alka Seltzer, doesn't it?
STELLA AWARDS:
ReplyDeleteIt's time again for the annual 'Stella Awards'! For those unfamiliar with these awards, they are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued the McDonald's in New Mexico , where she purchased coffee. You remember, she took the lid off the coffee and put it between her knees while she was driving. Who would ever think one could get burned doing that, right? That's right; these are awards for the most outlandish lawsuits and verdicts in the U.S. You know, the kinds of cases that make you scratch your head. So keep your head scratcher handy.
Here are the Stellas for year -- 2013:
* SEVENTH PLACE *
Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The store owners were understandably surprised by the verdict, considering the running toddler was her own son
Start scratching!
* SIXTH PLACE *
Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles , California won $74,000 plus medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hubcaps.
Scratch some more...
* FIFTH PLACE *
Terrence Dickson, of Bristol , Pennsylvania , who was leaving a house he had just burglarized by way of the garage. Unfortunately for Dickson, the automatic garage door opener malfunctioned and he could not get the garage door to open. Worse, he couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting the garage to the house locked when Dickson pulled it shut. Forced to sit for eight, count 'em, EIGHT days and survive on a case of Pepsi and a large bag of dry dog food, he sued the homeowner's insurance company claiming undue mental Anguish. Amazingly, the jury said the insurance company must pay Dickson $500,000 for his anguish. We should all have this kind of anguish Keep scratching. There are more...
Double hand scratching after this one..
ReplyDelete* FOURTH PLACE *
Jerry Williams, of Little Rock, Arkansas, garnered 4th Place in the Stella's when he was awarded $14,500 plus medical expenses after being bitten on the butt by his next door neighbor's beagle - even though the beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. Williams did not get as much as he asked for because the jury believed the beagle might have been provoked at the time of the butt bite because Williams had climbed over the fence into the yard and repeatedly shot the dog with a pellet gun.
Pick a new spot to scratch, you're getting a bald spot..
* THIRD PLACE *
Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania because a jury ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500 after she slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone. The reason the soft drink was on the floor: Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument. Only two more so ease up on the scratching...
*SECOND PLACE*
Kara Walton, of Claymont , Delaware sued the owner of a night club in a nearby city because she fell from the bathroom window to the floor, knocking out her two front teeth. Even though Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the ladies room window to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge, the jury said the night club had to pay her $12,000....oh, yeah, plus dental expenses. Go figure.
Ok. Here we go!!
* FIRST PLACE *
This year's runaway First Place Stella Award winner was: Mrs. Merv Grazinski, of Oklahoma City , Oklahoma , who purchased new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually leave the driver's seat while the cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her, are you sitting down?
$1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit, just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a motor home.
If you think the USA court system is out of control, be sure to pass this one on.
Thanks for the post.Thanks Again.

As we age, this is what we are going to become?
ReplyDeleteOne night a nurse was making her rounds in a nursing home.
While walking down the hall, she came across an open door.
She looked in and saw old Frank sitting up in bed pretending to drive.
She asked, 'Frank, what are you doing?'
He replied, 'I'm driving to Toronto .' The nurse smiled at him and carried on making her rounds
The next night as she walked past Frank's room she saw the same thing.
Again she asked, 'Frank, what are you doing?'
He replied, 'I'm driving to Toronto . It's a two day trip, you know!'
The nurse smiled at him and carried on making her rounds.
Five minutes later she came across another open door and looked in.
She saw Bob pretending to dance with someone. She then asked, 'Bob, what are you doing?'
Bob replied, 'I'm dancing with Franks wife. He's gone to Toronto for a couple of days...'.
'As we age, this is what we are going to become?'
ReplyDeleteNo...
An older gentleman was on the operating table awaiting surgery and he insisted that his son, a renowned surgeon, perform the operation. As he was about to get the anesthesia, he asked to speak to his son.
