New Advertisers and 2.7.1
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 [...]

Canadian Tire Added
I got approached by yet another advertising firm to add Canadian Tire Mastercards to my financial web site, and I thought that might be a very good fit. I use Canadian Tire and their Mastercard does offer an attractive “loyalty” program, so I have added them to the site. We’ll see if we can make [...]
Wikinvest Traffic Enhancer
I got approached by the folks over at Wikinvest a while ago to add them to Canadian Personal Finance Opinions and I wasn’t sure it was a good fit, but I decided to go ahead with the system anyhow, and boy am I glad I did. The amount of new traffic and also new links [...]
Traffic Up, and Lousy Pay Back
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 [...]
Comments Update
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 [...]
RSS Feeds?
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 [...]
Advertising Rates too high?
So last week, I had an inquiry about putting a link on my web page, from a UK advertiser, I quoted my current rates, it was paid, no fuss, no muss, no bother, and the link is now on my Financial web site.
Yesterday I got another e-mail asking about rates, I see it is a [...]
