Thursday, August 30th, 2007Last night I had a meeting with a friend of mine. He is going to be watching over my websites while I am out of town. Next weekend I am leaving for Egypt to go look at some pyramids, so I want to make sure everything is in good hands while I am gone. It […]
Tribal Fusion Results
Monday, August 27th, 2007A few days ago, I added some more impressions with Tribal Fusion. I was pretty pleased with the results. I am now serving up over 100,000 impressions/day on the Counter Strike site. I estimate this will earn me about $25/day once the rates have settled down. For some reason Tribal Fusion always pays a lot […]
Watch Your Tone, Find Your Voice
Friday, August 24th, 2007I have been wondering what makes some bloggers so successful. A lot of bloggers have an easily identifiable catalyst which propels them to the forefront of the internet. John Chow’s blog hit the front page of digg a couple times in a week. Then he changed his focus to making money on the internet with […]
Adding More Tribal Fusion
Thursday, August 23rd, 2007I added a couple more Tribal Fusion spots to the Counter Strike site today. It was earning between $7 - $11 a day. I hope the new additions will boost that by at least $5/day.
I really haven’t done anything with that site in a couple weeks. I want to examine some affiliate options for […]
Types Of Websites - The Content Site
Friday, August 17th, 2007When looking for a website to buy, my favorite type of site are content sites that get a healthy amount of search engine traffic. There are a couple of reasons for this. One, I understand the source of revenue and traffic which allows me to optimize more effectively, and two, the time commitment for a […]
The Grey Area Website
Tuesday, August 14th, 2007A reader of this blog pointed me to this sale over at Sitepoint. He asked for my opinion of the site and the sale. I thought I would review it here for everyone’s benefit.
If you browse Sitepoint often enough, you’ll see several sites for sale that fall into what I like to call the “grey” […]
Managing A Community
Sunday, August 12th, 2007I have recently been spending way too much time bending to the whims of the communities which are built up around one or two of my sites. Due to the subject matter of the sites I run (two video games, one ipod), a lot of the traffic is from young males. These types of users […]
Tribal Fusion Lowers My Rate
Tuesday, August 7th, 2007I got an email from my account rep today from Tribal Fusion. Apparently they are going to start splitting out campaigns for forums and campaigns that won’t include forums. Unfortunately, one of my larger sites will be impacted by this since most of the page impressions come from the forum there. I am not sure […]
Stay Away From Shady Sales Listings
Sunday, August 5th, 2007I was just browsing Sitepoint today to see if there was anything interesting when I saw this post. The seller has made just about every mistake possible when listing his site for sale. On the surface the site seems decent enough and under ordinary circumstances would warrant a bid, but the seller seems super shady. […]
Upgrading Wordpress
Saturday, August 4th, 2007Today I managed to upgrade wordpress without too much trouble. I guess my setup is ideal for upgrading, because all I had to do was ftp the files over and the process was basically done. I wonder what problems other people run into? At least now I shouldn’t have to worry as much about those […]
