i know i haven’t been blogging here much at all. it’s not because i don’t love you guys anymore. and don’t worry there hasn’t been any suicide attempts as of late. it’s all because i’ve been working my ass off to grow our entire network. and of course kicking back in bali and enjoying every single second of my life.

and now… it seems the blog gods are finally in our favor. as of the end of november 2007 techfresh network has capped the $10,000 mark.

$7567.66 from adsense
$1,503.40 from kontera
$909.24 from chitika
$137.50 from widgetbucks

$10117.80 total

pretty cool for a bum, huh?

because that’s where organic traffic comes thru and that’s how i want to convert.  good for long term readability?  no, i guess not, but this is where my home page comes in.  i’ve cleaned up the home page across the network to rid them of all ads above the fold.  so when repeat visitors come to our blogs, they don’t have to stare at ads all day trying to read our news.  i hope this contributes to building readers trust over time.

at the end of the day, i hope this benefits both our readership and our revenue stream.

yo-ho it’s time to unleash the inner-pirates and plunder some piratey-goodies from across the seas. plunder guide is a buyers guide and cool stuff magazine for men where all men ego are fed to fill up the decks. girls, you can get gifts for men here, and men, get yer booty supply ready for the sail.

i had to outsource this one and it ended up a mess. but after tons of code sweeping and testing it’s finally up and running.
