No more Gaming pic of the Week

We skipped last Tuesday's Gaming pic of the Week, because of the lack of a quality picture to post. Today it's Tuesday again and I still couldn't find any. Therefore, I decided to stop the Gaming pic of the Week "section".

I'll still continue to post fun gaming pictures on an irregular basis (whenever I find some good ones), but I won't do it every Tuesday like I did before now.

Stay tuned though, as I'll soon make a quick review of the ones posted to this day, so that we can end this properly. I wish I could've continued to post them regularly, but this is something that doesn't depend on me.

In the meanwhile, have a great week and don't forget to follow iTalkGames on Twitter, as I'm planning on launching a contest once I reach 1000 followers.

Blog traffic observations

I know I've posted more non-gaming blog updates lately, but I did say when I started Talk Games Online that this blog is by itself an experiment. So don't panic.

The experiment is showing more and more results to me and I managed to gather valuable data for what's to come (I can't say more about it at this time).

Speaking of which, the blog finally has enough traffic for trends to be somewhat viewable now. So I noticed an interesting fact: the weekly traffic peak is on Thursdays. And it's so obvious that it saddened me each Friday during the last few weeks when I saw the traffic dropping a bit on Fridays.

But then I set myself the right mind frame and realized that the traffic wasn't dropping on Fridays, but was simply increasing slowly until Thursdays, peaking that day, then going back to normal.

It's quite interesting to notice that traffic is lower in the weekends (after the aforementioned peak), but I guess people need more distractions during the week, maybe to get some fun or simply some reading after a hard day's work (at their job or school).

Also, sorry for not posting the Gaming pic of the Week this Tuesday. I didn't find anything worth posting, so I preferred not to, rather than posting something bad.

That being said, stay tuned for more stuff cool. Have a fantastic weekend!

We're back!

In the past week there hasn't been much (visible) activity around here. Even the Gaming pic of the Week that you got used to seeing every Tuesday has been missing.

As I said in a previous post, I have been busy making some changes in the back-end of the blog, changes that now start to reflect in website traffic analytics.

But now we're finally back and things will be more awesome than ever. Don't worry, we'll make the time you spent waiting worth it and we won't just leave the last week be skipped. Instead, we'll post two Gaming pics of the Week the following days, one Tuesday as usually and one some couple of days later or so.

Thank you guys for understanding. Cheers!

Blog update - no poll for October & more news

I made some changes under the hood of the blog in the past few days and more are to come. I also submitted the blog to various Web directories. I really hope that these changes will be reflected in the visitors rate for the following weeks.

I also believe that the poll might cause some problems between the blog and Google's crawler (the thing that jumps from link to link to search the websites), so at least for October there will be no poll.

I am going to spend some time during the following days to make more similar updates and, hopefully soon, I will unleash a big surprise upon you guys.

Thanks for your understanding!

Looking for content writers

Talk Games Online has grown over the past few months and it now requires a more constant stream of articles in order to expand to the next level.

We're on Twitter too!

A bit more than a month ago I announced that I created a Facebook page for Talk Games Online. Well, now I have even more good news for you all - I also made a Twitter account.

Funny Google searches that brought you here

Today we're gonna discuss a few Google searches that brought some readers here. As I check the blog's statistics, I sometimes find some really hilarious ones. I won't show them all, as they're way too many - and I won't even show the best ones, as they're too... let's just call them dirty. :)

50 posts and counting...

We've been around for a few months now (close to four, to be more precise) and we gathered a pretty nice number of posts. So far we have 50 of them (51 with this one) and we're not planning to stop too soon.

No gaming quote this week

Hey guys, just a quick update. We're not posting any Gaming quote of the Week today. I know you already got used to us doing it, but this time we'll skip it.

I don't have any time to find a quality quote to post, therefore I'd rather just skip it altogether. But don't worry, this section will still exist.

Thanks for your understanding!
