The weekend has come and gone, and now I’m back at the office. It sucks the Jaguars lost to the Colts on Sunday after such a dominating performance. But hey, that’s why they play the whole game. I’ve got a couple things to talk about today, so let’s get started.

  • New Site Launched
  • Adsense Earnings
  • Hosting Problems (still)
  • Space Tweaks

New Site Launched
I am officially launching my new website Sports Highlight Videos aka MVP Flix. MVPFlix.com is powered by wordpress. It allows me to post awesome sports highlight videos on a daily basis. So far I have uploaded maybe 7 or 8 videos ranging from Barry Bonds to skating to Reggie Bush. I am hoping this site will take off. It should market itself within the sports community. Once there is a large database, I hope people will link to my site whenever they are posting about a highlight video in a sports forum or something. I am going to register on several large sports forums and get this link in my signature to try and spread the word.

Some of the videos are awesome! It’s like watching ESPN Web Gems all day. Go check it out. I highly recommend the Hakeem Olajuwon video. You will not be disappointed!

Adsense Earnings
Yesterday marked the first day in like the last 10 days that I didn’t make over $10. I was close with $9.55. I blame the low earnings on the awful hosting problems I’ve had the last week. Everything was going great until then (but I’ll save that for the next section). So far this month I’ve pulled in $275 in Adsense dollars. In almost a year of web publishing I have never surpassed $125 in a month, let alone $275 or the $300+ it will be by September 30th. This is a great sign for things to come. Now I just need to add more sites ot my network to increase my earnings.

Hosting Problems (still)
Yes, I am still having hosting problems. Almost everyday I sign on MSN and talk to the people I know and ask them if they can view Myspace Bypass. Its good because I have friends spread out over the world. For some, the site works fine and for others it doesn’t. On Friday is was broken for me here at work, but when I went to my parents house after work, the proxy was working fine! It’s so annoying to have an awful host. But what can you do when you can’t afford $100/month for a dedicated server?

Space Tweaks
Myspace Tweaks has been doing great lately in terms of traffic. We’ve been getting over 1,400 and 1,500 uniques a day on a consistent basis. The only problem is the revenue isn’t going up. With that kind of traffic you have to think the site should be making around $10/day, however it’s only been making $4-5. We’re using Yahoo Ads on it, because the main owner of the site was banned from Google. I think once we get the ad targeting figured out, we should see our earnings go up.

Well that’s about it for today. Have a great day and don’t forget to stop by my new Sports Highlight Videos site!
