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.

Wordpress 2.7.1 is installed on both sites now although the automatic upgrade in Wordpress seems to have failed. I used Dreamhost’s 1 click upgrade instead, which seems to have worked no problem (which is a nice change too). The 1 click upgrade may be the way to go in the future, we shall see.
Advertising seems [...]

An update on  my attempt to carve out a meager income with my blogging so here is an update for December from Canadian Personal Finance Opinions :

Adsense income $51.54 with about 5000 impressions
Kontera income $7.84  on 4400 page impressions
Text Link Ads income $38.09 earn with 5 ads running out of a possible 8 (text link [...]

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 [...]

What is new? Why not watch this helpful video:

I am a visual learner so this is great, and helpful to me as well.
RSS Feed Advertising

I am never sure whether my Alexa rating actually translates into anything of value these days, but it has risen from 1,400,000 to now being around 648,000, meteoric, however still a very long way until I am up in the “noticeable” part of their spectrum.
My RSS feed numbers on Canadian Financial Opinions have flattened at [...]

So I really am baffled as to why I have crossed the 500 RSS reader world, but I am pleasantly surprised that is for sure.
I even found out that folks are actually envious of my RSS feeds, which is quite funny, since I have no idea why I have this many readers these days. [...]

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 [...]
