Just curoius...what do you listen to in the background while working?

I always need white noise while working. When I would study in high school and college, the noisier my environment, the better! (Probably because I had four younger brothers and needed to drown out THEIR noise...)

Now I'm known for always having the TV or music on in the background while I'm at home, driving the car, in my office at my day job, etc.

What do YOU listen to while you work on your SBI! site?

I'll get the conversation started by sharing that I'm currently streaming the '80's on 8' channel from Sirius XM, while taking advantage of a snow day to work on my future SBI! site. 


I have a playlist on YouTube that I put all my fave songs in, I let that run in the background. It's mostly German industrial metal. Rammstein, Oomph!, Eisbrecher, and Blutengel, along with Feuerschwanz, Saltatio Mortis, Nightwish, Avatar, Die Antwoord, David Bowie, Tin Machine, Alice Cooper, Ghost BC, Insane Clown Posse, Marilyn Manson, Korn, Lordi, Liberace, Dropkick Murphys, and Rob Zombie

Because this question was asked by one of my site readers, I went and made a set of "What I listen to while I write" pages, that are "Top 10 songs" from each band, with the YouTube videos embedded into it. I only just started making them last month.

Here's the ones I made so far, if you don't know the band, you can listen to them...

https://www.eelkat.com/best-rammstein-music-videos.html
https://www.eelkat.com/best-rob-zombie- ... ideos.html

I'm going to be making more of these pages later this month and next month, because I haven't covered all my fave bands yet, only those.

Funny thing is, these pages are COMPLETELY off topic to my site, and are just there as sort of an "added interest" for the "about me" section... but, since making them, last month they've been my top trafficed pages for 4 weeks now. They just shot right to the top and Google has been sending these pages way more traffic then any of my site's on-topic pages have gotten these same weeks.

It's weird. I always hear how "top 10" music lists are among the best pages to make, but my site wasn't music related so I never made any before, and I only did it this past month because one of my readers had requested it. I was completely side swiped by how much traffic these pages are getting from Google.

I think, after seeing this, I'd almost go so far as to recommend ever site owner make an "about me" index page, then make lots of "my top 10" pages linked to from it. Even though they are off topic to the site, they help tell your site visitors more about the person behind the site, and these top 10 pages seem to way outrank my regular site pages in terms of Google traffic. (I don't normally get much traffic from Google, most of my traffic comes from social media link clicks... I may get 100 page views TOTAL across ALL pages from Google in the entire month... but these top 10 pages with YouTube videos embedded in them, get that many views each page, each day from Google. I definitely recommend others try doing something like this to help boost their overall site traffic.)

I keep hearing how Google gives rank boosts to sites that embed YouTube videos because Google owns YouTube and wants to promote it... I don't know if that true or not, but it certainly looks like it could be. I'm definitely going to be putting more YouTube videos embedded into my over all site pages after seeing this happen.

I wonder too. After this happened, I did a Google search to see how many other sites had "Top 10" videos for these particular bands, and, the answer was ZERO. These bands are very niche and don't have a lot of fans outside of Germany, so I'm wondering if having an English language site talking about them, had something to do with it? I mean: Rammstein, Oomph!, Eisbrecher, Blutengel, Feuerschwanz, Saltatio Mortis, Avatar, and Die Antwoord...; I'm LITERALLY the ONLY English language site in the search results with pages about these bands. I don't know, I may have just stumbled onto an untapped niche here. Most Americans don't seem to even know German Industrial Metal exists, so no English language sites are made about them. Their own home pages are in German. Their fan pages are in German. I think my site being English language might have something to do with why these pages are getting so much traffic, even though they are not on topic to y site niche.





While there are around 20k pages on this website, most of them are blocked from search engines, with only around 800 of them available for appearing in Google/Bing/etc search results. The remainder can only be accessed via the various links found throughout this site. This was done deliberately on my part, and I did it because the bulk of the pages on this website are chapters from 138 novels and 423 novellas, so only the first page of each novel and novella indexed by search engines, and the remainder are linked in order, one page at a time, via clicking "next page" at the end of each. So if you are looking for a specific page from a specific novel, Google can't help you.



Thank you for stopping by and have a nice day! ꧁✨🌸🔮🦄🔮🌸✨꧂
