I’m so excited to be a part of my first cash giveaway!! Mommy’s Moments is hosting the Christmas Cash Giveaway along with some amazing fellow bloggers! First prize is $200!! That would come in handy for Christmas, wouldn’t it?!?!!? Second prize is $25.00. You could use that too couldn’tya??
Come back here between November 18th through December 2nd and fill out the Rafflecopter form for your chance to win. I would LOVE it if a Peanut Butter and Whine follower was the winner.
Next…. don’t forget to enter my Caring Cross giveaway which ends on 11/30.
I also have the Whimsy for Wendy’s eBook giveaway that ends on 11/22.
Both are easy Rafflecopter forms. Both have low entries… so help a blogger out and go enter please?! Pretty Please? Don’t make me whine… you won’t like it when I whine….
Last but not least! A while back I was able to review and giveaway for Basa Body Lotion and now the wonderful people over at Basa Body want to offer the Peanut Butter and Whine readers a 20% off their purchase but hurry this 20% off code is only good until November 25, 2011.
If walls could talk, my blog would whisper, “It wasn’t me.”
Because somehow, somewhere between coffee refills and letting the dog out, the Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine keeps sneaking in and removing pictures and videos.
I don’t delete them. I would remember that. I am a responsible adult who double-checks things. And yet… photos vanish. Videos evaporate. Blog posts wake up looking underdressed, like they forgot their pants.
Cue dramatic music.
After the fifth “Where did that image go?” moment, I decided to stop fighting the paranormal and use it as an opportunity. If the ghost insists on rearranging my content, then I’m going to roll up my sleeves and improve my SEO score while I’m at it.
Because if I’m re-uploading images anyway, they might as well have proper file names, alt text, and sizes that don’t make Google sigh heavily. Videos? Optimized. Old posts? Updated. Keywords? Polished like they’re heading to prom.
SEO updates aren’t glamorous. No one brings a casserole when you rename image files from IMG_8472.jpg to ghost-proof-blog-photo.jpg. But they matter. Search engines like clarity. Readers like faster loading pages. And apparently, ghosts like chaos.
While I’m updating, it’s also a great time to remind you about my monthly $50 Your Way Giveaway, where one lucky winner gets PayPal, Venmo, or a gift card of their choice. You can find all the details right here:

And because Google loves good neighbors, here’s an external resource I actually use when brushing up on SEO basics:

So if you notice posts looking sharper and loading faster, don’t worry. It’s not a haunting.
It’s just me, outsmarting the ghost… one optimized image at a time.
