Dead RSS Feeds

More strangeness with the Financial Site with my RSS feed from feedburner dieing off.  It is not just feedburner but the feed check utility also times out on my server, so I have sent yet another support request to my friends at Dreamhost. Meanwhile my Feedburner subscriber count drops like a stone thanks to my [...]

Google RSS Doubles Things Up

Thanks to moving over from Feedburner to Google Feedburner, my adsense impressions effectively doubled on the first day, which is a very good thing, I think. More impressions means more possible money to be made, which is a very good thing these days.
A few bumps along the road, the number of subscribers “chiclet” went to [...]

Income this week has been [...]

Readership Growing Again

Given I am now running Wordpress 2.5, I am starting [...]

Kablam!

That is the sound of me blowing my foot off, but I learned something new today.
My RSS feed is now from my new Canadian Financial Opinions site, however, I set up my feedburner feed to use the RSS feed and not the straight feed. This meant all feeds were then cut to only TWO lines, [...]

Adsense in my RSS

Well, Feedburner seems to imply that should be the case some time real soon, which is cool by me for either of my sites.
To do this, you simply go to the Feedburner site and go to the monetize tab and away you go. We shall see if this ads any sheckles to my pocketbook.

Almost 200 and Counting?

The numbers keep coming, which is interesting, since I really have no idea as to why I have such a surge in RSS readers, but let’s just keep hoping and praying for a breakthrough again.
Was contacted by someone in the legitimate media asking for some information, which also made my day, since it seems I [...]
