I lowered the LinkWorth prices for ads on several of my sites today. It’s too bad /* doesn’t do that, because I have a couple of sites with no ads at all, and I’m convinced a lower price might bring them in. On the other hand, if LinkWorth does the trick, who cares?
In the [...]

It’s been a productive week.
I changed all my blog email subscriptions from FeedBurner to FeedBlitz (which is also provided through FeedBurner). They just look nicer, have more options for your readers, etc.
I finally sold a BlogAds ad on B-2 Bomber. I think that’s the ideal network for that site, since the site’s focus is on [...]

I’ve been saying for ages that Alexa is fairly useless. In some cases, it provides some idea how you’re doing within a niche, but you can’t even trust that.
Currently, all of my sites - every single one of them - is slowly falling in Alexa rankings. Almost all of my sites are continuing their [...]

I no longer have any domains registered with GoDaddy, but after Breana left a comment to an old post, detailing her woes with their hosting and domain selling, I decided to do a link roundup of all the posts in which I complained about GoDaddy, and so did several commenters. They’re still very popular, especially [...]

I wrote a reasonably cool post on ChillyCool today, and yes, I am shamelessly asking you to Digg it.
Thank you for helping me get over my unreasonable modesty about asking for such things.

If there is a way to make money with Burst Media, I just don’t know what it is. I have it running on two sites for two days, and I didn’t earn a penny. Then I changed it to rotating with other ads I could actually make money on, and I’ve made a whole penny [...]

Someone has bought the same text link ad three times on ChillyCool. Same exact link, same anchor text. (Top left sidebar.)
Huh. *scratches head*

I’m finally finishing out my last set of auto-renew ads on AdBrite and removing them from my site. I have nothing against AdBrite - it’s just that after a couple of years, the revenue is not increasing. What seemed like a good chunk of change when I started out now just seems like an annoyance, [...]

Is anybody else seeing some old domains suddenly getting traffic boosts, as BJ suggests here? Because I sure am. Since the latest Google update, I’ve seen:

A jump in traffic to some old thin affiliate sites I haven’t really touched (yes, now that I’m checking, the traffic increase started before I cloaked links last week)
Pages of [...]
