  $100 a Day Challenge: October 2024 Income Report – Entry #5
  by Mike Byrd
  I spent a consider amount of time adding internal links to Coffee Mugs & Hats. I realized I need to create links to my collections pages with hopes that Google will crawl a product page and then the link to the respective collection page. I didn’t track how many internal links I added because I would have spent way too much time tracking the edits – but it’s safe to assume I touched over 100 products. I updated 6 collections by improving their descriptions, added a collection image and links to products.

  by Mike Byrd
  Kim surprised me with a trip to Fricso, Colorado over Labor Day weekend 2023.   We took the gravel bikes with us on this trip and were looking for a good gravel rides.   I wanted to visit Estes Park (also knowns at the Rocky Mountain National Park) and we found a gravel ride review for Old Falls River Road. The reviews said it was a challenging but beautiful ride.  We watched a Youtube video review and decided, why not, let’s do it.
