We loaded up the car with suitcases, a super long pregnancy pillow, lots of drinks and comfy shoes. At my feet was a basket of snacks, a guidebook to France with dozens of highlighted pages with their corners turned down: we were going to spend 10 days driving around Northern France and Paris!
And ... we were driving from Manchester to Dover, catching a ferry and then finishing our drive across the Channel. And ... I was six months pregnant.
Why Google Analytics is not as Accurate as You Think
Why Google Analytics is not as Accurate as You Think
Written by: Anyonita Green on
When I first started trying to earn money through my blog, the one piece of advice that kept cropping up was: "Get Google Analytics". Even now, when you inquire about working with a company or brand, their PR rep usually sends through an email asking for a screenshot of your Google Analytics dashboard.
There seems to be this unspoken rule in blogging and with online businesses that traffic to your site is inconclusive unless it was pulled from the shiny platform of Google Analytics. Well, that's not exactly true. Google Analytics may actually keep one of the most inaccurate records of blog traffic.
I usually get an email each month from a new blogger or a blogger trying to increase their traffic that says something along the lines of "Why is my Google Analytics so much lower than my Blogger or Wordpress?" Well, I'm going to show you why and I'm going to give you proof of why this is a fact and not just an opinion.

The Truth About Self Promoting on StumbleUpon
Written by: Anyonita Green on
I've never been shy about the main sources of referral traffic for Anyonita Nibbles. For a long time Pinterest and Google waged weekly wars over sending the most traffic to my blog. Recently, StumbleUpon edged its way into the mix, with impressive results.
I've not been the only one shouting about the footfall boost StumbleUpon provides. In light of Facebook's blatant refusal to make posts on pages visible to people who have liked the page, a number of bloggers are slowly tapping into the StumbleUpon honeypot.
As more people use StumbleUpon, more questions and myths crop up about its services. One of the biggest questions I've come across is regarding self promotion. So, I've done some research to uncover what StumbleUpon really says about self-promotion on their website. Read on to see what they have to say.

Slowly cooked chicken sweetened with apples and honey served with turmeric rice studded with flaked almonds and jewels of dried cranberries. An unusual, but tasty Easter dinner alternative!
Crock Pot Apple Pie Chicken with Turmeric, Cranberry & Almond Rice
I know what you're thinking: Apple pie with chicken?! but I promise you, I've not gone completely mad. Apple and meat dishes are usually made with pork and occasionally beef, but not so much chicken. That's what was most intriguing about this flavor combination for me. But, it really works together and it tastes fantastic. I think it's striking and unusual enough to be used as an Easter dinner recipe, too; you know, if you wanted a break from ham.Tasty Tuesdays #55 {{double features!}}
