I just want to thank Andrej over at DP with helping me out on some blog themes the last couple days. He made some changes for me to themes I was using, which I couldn’t do on my own. Andrej provides free Wordpress themes over at WPmix.com, so check them out.

Thanks, Andrej!

My quest for World Domination hit a few roadblocks last month. Revenue was down everywhere where I’m currently making money, and I had some serious issues with my Directory Network. First, the summary:

Adsense: $21.56

Directory Submissions: $600

Blog posts (other blogs): $12

Total: $633.56

Not nearly as good as last month. Adsense was down, even though I had quite a few more impressions coming in from sites I added Adsense to. This blog makes mere pennies when it comes to Adsense. Directory Network submissions were down, as I had a lot of problems there - the main site was hacked and I had to upgrade to the newer version of eSyndiCat across all the directories. That was not a fun experience. I still need to get deeplinks for the upgraded version, which that mod is hopefully out this week. After that, the sites still need work done here and there, and I feel that I need a custom template. More work and more money to spend, sigh…

Lastly, I kicked off this whole quest right at the time Google decides to not update their toolbar Page Rank for the longest time ever. We’re still waiting, and it’s been over 4 months now. I realize chasing Page Rank is not The Answer, but link sales, link exchanges, directory submissions, and so many other money making efforts are directly or indirectly tied to Page Rank. I could really use at least one update before they do away with the Page Rank toolbar. At the very least, it would be an indicator of success for my efforts so far.

Despite these setbacks, my quest for World Domination will continue!
