Over a year ago, I submitted a web page of mine to http://www.i-am-bored.com/, A great site that I enjoy going to from time to time. The page was my fortuneteller Flash program, http://www.buzzpath.com/fortuneteller.html which I thought was pretty worthy of such time-killing that occurs at i-am-bored. I was amazed at how many people enjoyed it and at how many were annoyed by it. It was great to witness a large bump in traffic as scores of webzians reviewed my web page.
I had some ads by Google on the page. Out of the thousands that traveled to my site because of the link, only a couple clicked through the ads. In fact almost all of the visitors returned right back to i-a-bored to rank, write and review. It was a learning experience for me on how to get quality traffic. It was also a lesson on how to handle both positive and negative opinions.
In January, I created a new picture sudoku, Sudoku Smiles 2: http://www.buzzpath.com/sudoku/smiles/puzzle34.html. On a whim, I sent it to Newgrounds, (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/526480) another great site for time killing. Hundreds reviewed the site, and again my work was rated, ranked and reviewed. At first it was nerve-wracking, but I am glad I did it. The responses I received were so constructive. I was grateful that people would spend some of their time to actually tell me what they would want me to improve. Again, another learning experience.
