Dec 10

For the last two days we’ve been experiencing a high eCPM and daily earnings like we were back in October. It’s far too early to tell but that would be one great Christmas present!
We’ve also got two sites which should be hitting google for high traffic terms in the next little while. I think one […]

Recently Sold Domain

2006 at 1:39pm | by Jay

This morning I saw Dave posted about his sale of one of our semi developed adsense sites..
I have to give him credit for making the call on that one, when he originally proposed the idea of selling it to me I looked at its $5/month earnings and though who is going to want to pay […]

Sold one of our sites!

2006 at 10:53pm | by Dave

We had two domains coming up for renewal in the next two weeks, and they were some marginal sites that weren’t really making us any money. We decided to keep one domain as it has a lot of potential and let the other one expire. Then I had a flash of brilliance and decided to […]

Work Day Progress Report

2006 at 9:04pm | by Jay

Unfortunately today wasn’t as productive as I’d hoped, not that we wasted time playing video games or anything just that I was called away only 3 hours into the “work day”
All in all I’d say it was a sucess, we discussed some strategy and got more then 1 normal days worth of work done so […]

Serious Monetization Problem

2006 at 12:01pm | by Dave

Recently, (and by recently I mean like 5 minutes ago when I was looking over things) I noticed a severe issue that needs to be addressed ASAP.  A few months ago, we thought we’d jump on the bandwagon for myspace layout sites and see what we could do with one just for fun. Well… that […]

Work Day Tommorow

2006 at 6:52am | by Jay

Every so often Dave and I get togather for what we call a “work day” though I generally reffer to it as “babysit Dave day” it’s where we get togather and discuss ideas play some video games and generally try to do some productive work.
In general I find these days to be about as productive […]

Link Building News

2006 at 6:18am | by Jay

While the search engines continue to get smarter and link exchanges become less valuable it’s still the easiest way for a newcomer to get some google lovin’ or if nothing else a top ranking on MSN.
Since I’m spending alot of time link building this month I’ve started to test out some new ideas, one idea […]

Dec 06

I wasn’t as crushed by November as Jay was. From the viewpoint of the optimist (that’s me), we made huge unexpected gains in earnings during October ($115 per day average for Sept. vs. a $151 per day average in October) and in November we paid for that unexpected jump with a daily revenue of $123 […]
