Virtual House Cleaning: Website Maintenance

Posted on October 16th, 2007 in Ferrets, Personal by Vegan Momma

Bird In Clouds

It’s about that time again. I’ve been writing about turning a few of my websites into static based websites and I’m finally going to get it completed. The first to receive a virtual makeover will be my Fuzzbutts website, Ferrets Haven. It’s moving from a blog to a static based website. I’ll still have the blog, but I’ll be adding articles about ferrets from a raw food perspective. There are a lot of people that are interested in feeding their ferrets raw food.

Do you know what I noticed? When I looked through my posts at Ferrets, Haven I noticed something I always refer to them as fuzzbutts I realized I rarely referred to them as ferrets. Alright so in my mind they are “fuzzbutts” guess what people who are looking for information about ferrets might not have a clue that Opal and some other ferret owners lovingly refer to their ferrets using that so I will be adding the term ferrets back to some of my posts.

Search engines aren’t how I receive the majority of my traffic but I’ll do my best to those looking for more information or simply cute photos out by adding ferrets in there so they can find me a lot easier.

Guess what? If you check the word fuzzbutts I’m ranked at number three with that term, I definitely won’t be deleting the mention of the word within my posts but I’ll be adding the word ferrets into it. Currently on the big G I’m ranked #4 for the term fuzzbutts and Yahoo has me ranked at #23. Who would have thunk, eh?

The Raw & The Cooked is also making the move to a static based website. I’ll have a section for recipes raw vegan and cooked vegan.

Vegan Momma will be last on the list for a virtual makeoever initially I was planning on taking care of this first. The blog won’t chance but the landing page, which is already static will. I’ll be adding a lot more information on Veganism, Nutrition, and Outreach and of course I’ll link to my blog from the main page.

I’ll be monetizing those websites. Currently I’m making about $70 with adsense on a monthly basis. When I started, this past May I was made $40 my first month.

I much prefer affiliate marketing. I average, a few hundred with affiliate marketing. I really enjoy affiliate marketing and like that I can choose what I want to market. In time I think my websites have the potential to make a lot more hence the maintenance. Now that I think of it it seems that I’m always doing something to improve my websites. ;-)
Question: Has anyone else done, or in the process of doing web maintenance. How long did it last?

Ferrets: A Fuzzy Pile

My Ferrets In A Warm Fuzzy Pile

Clicking on the picture will take you to a larger image.

I always get a chuckle at some of the positions I find my fuzzbutts sleeping in take for example last week. I walk into my room and lo and behold all my carpet sharks are back in the home. Although my little carpet sharks don’t bite me as they are rooting under my area rugs they will pounce on another unsuspecting fuzzbutt.

In this picture I found them sleeping on the second floor of their home. They were in a nice warm & fuzzy pile. I had to chuckle. Of course I received looks from them.  If you look closely you will see the fourth head. ;-)

Edited to add

I updated with text on the photo so you can see where Hanuman is.  He is the biggest of my fuzzbutts. He’s about five pounds. That’s very large for an American ferret.  All my ferrets are very muscular they receive a lot of exercise.

Interactive African American Baby AliveMy daughter is excited I ordered her the Interactive African American Baby Alive a few moments ago. I had no clue this doll existed until last evening when I was on Amazon.

I’ve been reading some of the parenting boards, since last evening, apparently this doll is hard to find. I’m very happy that it’s in stock, and I know my daughter will be waiting to receive it.

If you aren’t thrilled about purchasing the expensive food for Ms. Baby Alive check out the post on Hasbro’s Baby Alive: Baby Food Recipe.

My Ferret Relaxing

Albino Ferret - Indra

I told you that my ferret Indra was a “chill baby”. He looks so “human” here.

Whoa I just had a flashback of Al Bundy from Married with Children! All Indra needs is a can of beer in his left paw and his right paw down the front of his pants, Gah!

I did not put that outfit on him. That would be my daughter, Aiyana. I took this picture a few moments ago.

It should not surprise people that know me well that I would try to snap photos of my beloved furbabies with my Apple products right? Here’s a few shots of my fuzzbutt (that’s ferrets to you) Indra
