For the first time on a Monday I think I am going to start out with a couple of small announcements. I have two new sites I am launching today. I will get into the details of each a little bit further down in the blog post.

I first want to start out discussing my monthly Adsense income. As of this morning, I have earned $261.15 from Adsense, with $73.93 in the last seven days. Earnings are hard to come by these days without my proxy, but if things stay on track I should still break $300 for the month. We have about 9 days left in October, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

Also on my mind is my $375 September payment I’m anticipating. Google EFT usually happen on the 25th of the month, so I’m hoping I will get paid sometime this week. I really want to use this money to buy a site making $30-40/month, but the quality of sites is awful right now. We’ll see what happens later this week.

Now onto the new site launches…

Tech Lineup

Tech Lineup is the first site I want to introduce to you. This is the first technology related site that I have built, but with a little TLC I think this can become my most profitable site in a month or two’s time. Currently I am running the site on Joomla with a purchased template and custom logo. I have put in around $75 into this site so far, and if you follow this blog you will know that $75 is quite an investment for me. I hardly ever put money into a site.

Tech Lineup will be a computer hardware/software/gadgets review site. Currently, I will just have to review products of my own or pay people for reviews. But after the site has built up good content and a solid reader base, I am hoping companies will send me products to review.

The site is pretty much finished. I still need to change a few of the links, edit the urls, and then it will be ready to load up with content. I haven’t been more excited about a site launch in a long time.

Doggy Directory

Now I want to take some time to introduce a new directory I have put together. The site is a Dog Directory, with the title Doggy Directory. It runs on a paid version of PHPLD 3.06, and a free template I found online. Currently the directory has only 7 links. I sent out advertisements on all the major webmaster forums, so hopefully in a few days time I can build it up to 30 links or so.

The value in a directory only comes if it has pagerank. In order for my directory to make money I will need to spend money on incoming links from pet or directory sites. If I can build this directory into a PR4 or even PR5 site by the next update, then I should be able to sell featured links. But for right now, regular links are free and featured links are $5/year.

Other News

I submitted In Game Flix to stumble upon  on Friday and it had 1,700 uniques! LOL too bad none of them will return to the site. It’s very similiar to digg traffic. It’s not really good for anything.
