I hadn’t even noticed, but in the last day the odometer on the blog turned over to a million hits! that’s an average of 143,216 hits per month — a vast increase over last year, when I averaged 85,910 hits per month.
And yet, those Google ads at the bottom have only generated about 40¢ in revenue.
Word of warning to all these new readers: you get what you pay for around here.
You need to move the Google Ads up higher, towards the most recent postings. You also need to try targeting the content, if Google will let you do that; Yahoo’s Publisher Network lets you choose categories of ads that you want… instead of just relying on the system to choose contextual ads. My partner Justin makes a couple hundred bucks a month with about 1/4 your traffic.
Well, I guess I am one of them now…
I can’t believe you are in CA, you lucky bastard! And I am back in dumpy ol’ VA. Sorry to hear about the heart attack…
Big Hugs and I hope your recovery is going smoothly.

oh, as usual, I find your humor oddly refreshing. The memories!
