Well I have finally done some long awaited blog updates. First off I am finally hosting the blog on BobBuskirk.com instead of ThinkComputers. All I really had to do was export the database and import it over at BobBuskirk.com. Next I added the recent comments addon. Now you can see what posts have been commented on and who is commenting. I also added my earnings report. Many other people have them on their blogs so I decided to add it to mine so you can see what what sites are bringing in. Im at a daily average of $109 Woohoo!! I added the feeds section where you can subscribe to by blog via RSS feeds using feedburner. I have only added the google and yahoo feeds right now, I might add a few more popular RSS readers in the future. Also another small change is that I have moved the archive section over to the 3rd column. I really never used that column except for the photos, but since I added the recent comments and feeds the 2nd column was a bit packed. Let me know what you think of the updates.
While writing the review for the HX620 power supply which will be posted in a few days on ThinkComputers I realized why Corsair is so well known and everyone really likes them. The biggest thing that makes any company a well known company is marketing, and Corsair sure does a good job at it. If you look for reviews of any Corsair product you will find them. Corsair sends out a lot of product for review. This of course costs money but in the end when you are well know any many people’s first choice when it comes to memory it really pays off. Also when you receive review products from Corsair they come with a reviewer’s guide that has all of the information about the product. This allows for the review of Corsair’s products to be more informative and clear. Can you think of any other memory company this is as well known as Corsair? Now think of how many reviews you see of Corsair memory compared to other memory companies? You see where im going…I think to be sucessful in any business you have to have a good amount of exposure.
Ok well I thought I would let everyone know how things go as far as all of my sites are concerned. Things are going very well and I am hoping to have a record setting holiday season. Right now I am working full time on 3 of my main sites: ThinkComputers, ThinkGaming, and MyProfileResource. Everything else is being put on the back burner while I get all of these sites to make a GOOD amount of money.
ThinkComputers
As always we are posting 5-7 reviews a week and constantly are having new products come in. I have just hired my good friend Jason to write for the site. Just in time too, the holiday season is right around the corner and we are going to be getting crushed with products to review. Also I am looking into some advertising for the site, so if anyone has any ideas please let me know. Our traffic has been increasing a little each month and I hope to be pushing a higher level of constant traffic.
ThinkGaming
Well it’s back! I have a passion for gaming and I really could not give up on this site. I totally redesigned the site to look like ThinkComputers and it is doing well. I am also keeping up with it, posting daily news and getting some good content. I am working on getting some games to review and hopefully we can pickup some advertisers. The biggest thing I have to do right now is get traffic to the site. After that things should just fall into place. ThinkGaming is still looking for a few good writers if anyone is interested.
MyProfileResource
The past week I have been adding something new each day. The increase in traffic has been great. Hopefully if I keep this up the site will make a good amount of money. I am also looking for a new Joomla template for the site, a 3 column instead of the 2 column I am using. If anyone knows any good ones please let me know. Once I get a little more content on the site I will also be looking into advertising and affiliates.
Ok so right now that is what is going on with my sites. I do hope to get the ThinkNetwork fully working by using RSS feeds from all of my sites and the ThinkNetwork pulling all of the information from each site to one main place were people can check it out. Of course I do not know how to even go about doing that yet, so I have to research it. But hopefully I will have a record breaking Q4 and a good holiday season!!
Recently I have been tweaking some of my adsense ads, especially the ones on MyProfileResource. If you have worked with adsense for a while you will know that tweaking is the key to sucess. On MyProfileResource I really do not have the much room to work with because of the template im using. I have a 160X600 skyscraper and 120X90 adlink on the right side. I had the adlink at the top where the 160X600 is. It was not doing so great so I decided to put the 160X600 at the top. This little tweak really helped out, the 160X600 was getting a CTR of around .20% now it is getting around .90 – 1.0%. So if you are having adsense troubles try changing some things around you will be suprised at the result!
