A Buck A Night

After convincing myself that I personally crashed the shared server that the portallane.com site lives on (well, the mysql crashed, anyway ), I turned off some of the logging and the stats programs that I had installed. It was probably for the best, but I’m definately a stats junkie.

So I’ve been updating the Thanksgiving Recipes site and the Justice League America Movie site and letting the rest of the portallane.com sites just go their automatic ways. I did learn how to embed youtube videos, and I used this plugin to make it easier. But now I have a lovely video of “how to make a pumpkin pie.”

Focus, lad, focus.

Somehow I managed to turn off the adsense deluxe panel, so even with the 200-300 unique visitors, nobody has given my adsense account any movement toward the “buck a night” goal of ten bucks in seven days.

However, I do want to thank the three of you who found something of use over at the Dollar Deals page. Thanks!

So, my focus is currently on, letting the autoblogs run and not bothering with more or less, making good posts to my several blogs, and trying to find uses for those dollar deals myself. I did find one source that might prove interesting if I were to use the “cheap content” generation idea on that page. In fact, I’m going to sell that idea too. It’s one of those “if I had more time in the day” ideas that I never really got around to.

ps
I discovered that my otherwise awesome host ( site5 ) limits a site to 15 concurrent mysql connections, so it’s probably not feasible to run a large autoblog site on a site5 hosting account. )
