Working Hard On The Internet
Ever wonder why so many folks are trying to make extra money on the Internet and who is succeeding? This isn’t the site to learn from.

This site has had a busy week with a tremendous day of over 300 hits on Sunday for no apparent reason, which is interesting, if not confusing. If I am to believe the statistics I have seen this is an interesting trend, but more likely than not an attack from a “scraper” or something like [...]

Comment relish turned out to be a bit of a non-helpful plug in, as it continued to send thank you e-mails to folks it had already thanked, and I actually got a couple of complaints about it, so I have removed it from the Finance Site.
I have added Comment Luv to the systems to see [...]

Seems like the RSS feeds on Canadian Personal Finance Opinions has gone a bit squirrely lately, if my Adsense counters are to be belived. The Feedburner counter on the site continues to show very low-ish numbers but I am seeing over 350 RSS feed page displays on my Adsense counters, so this is quite intriguing [...]

Since my Page Rank has stabilized around 2 I have been getting more advertising opportunities which is a good thing.
One from an insurance company that paid for a 6 month ad run, which is great, because the money goes straight in my pocket. I continue to get Text Link Ads income as well, and a [...]

Even with my Adsense numbers inching up day by day, I am not making enough blogging to justify the work I am doing for it, so I will now dedicate harder work and become much more ruthless in terms of advertising that is doing me no good, or making me no money.
I am being approached [...]

After living through the last upgrade of Wordpress and having it break this site and the advertising on my financial site, I figured I would wait a little while until I am sure all of my plug ins and themes are ok’ed on this “dot release” from our friends at Wordpress.
Income this week has been [...]
