Can you believe that we are already half way through the year? I can’t help but wonder where the time has gone as it seems like only last month that I was making my goals at the start of 2012.

Lack of Motivation returned this month to kick me very hard somewhere where only a few people have dared to ever venture. Damn you Lack of Motivation for continuing to thwart my attempts to make a success of this blog.

My bounce rate has dropped from 72.92% to 61.62%.

– Well the recent Google Penguin update really did kick my ass didn’t it? My blog traffic fell by over half within the space of a month To be honest I’m at a loss as to what to do, I think for this month I’ll just keep up the blog commenting & social media promoting.

– The dreaded Lack of Motivation meant that I didn’t complete as many reviews & private writing assignments as I should have done. Hopefully my impending holiday to Ireland will give me a kick up the arse to do more work.
