Project AdSense

Earnings have been very weak for the second half of Feb. My traffic numbers have been good, but CTR has not. I think this likely indicates that I am getting return traffic as opposed to new traffic. Return traffic is less likely to click ads. Hey, any traffic is good traffic!

I expect things to pick up as the next UFC event gets closer( March 3rd). I am still ranking high on UFC 68 Predictions and my articles seem to rank pretty high for other ufc type queries (although the articles are hosted elsewhere...article directories), they all have links back to me

If you'd like to take a look at some articles I've written (when reading, remember that my #1 reason for writing this is to create backlinks and traffic, I know that I'm not a very good writer).

My Articles on Ezine Articles

It wasn't easy, but I've finally found a combination of configuration and hacks which made the mod_rewrite based SEO URL's on Serendipity work on my GoDaddy account.

Basically a combination of changes to permalinks (adding a trailing slash to certain items) along with a change in one of the php files with respect to rss links seems to have helped out. I would have preferred a totally Serendipity based solution (i.e. a fix to Serendipity) or a GoDaddy solution (i.e. a mod_rewrite setting), but I guess this will do.

I fully expect my next upgrade of Serendipity to undo my changes

Here's my personal notes on the subject. They are not comprehensive, but they are meant to remind me of what I've done:

1) Enable mod_rewrite
2) Change appropriate permalinks to have trailing /
3) Change include/plugin_internal.inc.php
- Changes here are second instance of index.rss to
have trailing slash
- Also do index.rss1 index.rss2 and comments.rss2
