Hosting, advertising, content

Well more than a year has passed and it’s just plain embarrassing having not written anything here. So much has happened the choice is either to update or delete. I’ll try updating…

So… I’ve switched ISP again. This site is now free from shackles. I’ve delegated the DNS over to http://afraid.org/ which is updated by web-client from one of the psyphi.net servers. Everything you now see is running over my home ADSL line. It’s not too bad but could seriously do with better upload bandwidth. This new setup now allows me full control over everything server-wise and as much storage as I can eat. Hopefully it saves a small bucket of cash too.

I’ve switched advertising from AdBrite to AdSense which seems to be a little more effective. If and when it starts generating a few cents revenue it may even pay for the domain and the meagre subscription to afraid.org .

It mostly boils down to content in the end and yes, I know there is very little around here. Of course I’d like to change that little by little but I won’t promise anything because then it definitely won’t happen. Steve Pavlina reckons he generates $9000/month with his productivity site and whilst I know I won’t reach that for some time it’s still fairly inspiring. There are still a couple of months left to make my million before the deadline.
