So, I haven’t done a weekly update for over a month and a half so I figured I would get at least one more before the end of the year. In 2009, it was a pretty good overall year with some bumpy roads and speed bumps but you need those types of things to reflect on and improved in those areas.

Anyways, let’s get to some updates (that I can remember)!

Win an iPod Nano Contest – I’m sure you guys know by now that I’m having a contest for a chance to win an iPod Nano and it’s going pretty good. Of course, there’s less than a week left in the contest and I highly doubt we’ll hit the 200+ contestants mark for a chance at another iPod Nano.

But then again, you never know what will happen!

Advertisement Banner Change – If you guys haven’t noticed by now, I replaced the three 125×125 ads on the sidebar with a 336×280 ad block. The reason why I did this is because a former advertiser contacted me letting me know they only had certain sizes for their banner. Of course, I’m always willing to work with advertisers to try to suit their needs. Especially the ones that have had good results here and continue to come back.

If you guys haven’t had a chance to check out their website or their banner, check their “Warren Buffett reveals their secret to recession” website. It seems pretty interesting!

I don’t know how long I’ll keep the 336×280 ad space available because I personally prefer the 125×125 ones but if there’s a higher demand, then I’ll just continue with that.

Revealing Another One of my Sites – As some of you guys know, I occasionally reveal random sites that I own so you guys can check out. Not every internet entrepreneur does this but I have revealed a few sites so far. And that includes the site I sold with a site flipping team and I even gave a lucky subscriber a small portion just for guessing!

I’ll give you guys a clue, this is the site that I used my new purchased Wordpress theme on. And yes, a commentator did mention wanting me to reveal the site.

Password Protected Posts – I sent a few of you guys that have requested the password that have been a subscriber for more than a few weeks. Of course, I delayed everything else because of the e-mail client issues, plus, it seems some people are pushy and want the password ASAP and if they don’t get it, they unsubscribe instantly.

Obviously, there are some people in it just for that reason. But also, some people don’t have patience. Please bear with me as I will have it sent out sometime next week when I have some more time.

Another Contest?! – If you read down to this part and you considered unsubscribing right after my current contest is over, well, I wouldn’t just yet. I will be having another follow-up contest shortly after and it should be just as simple as my current contest. But of course, I’m going to require those of you guys that are subscribed to comment saying you have done so.

I have a few prizes in mind and this time I might have more than just one prize for people to win. Stay tuned for that one!

Free Blogger Templates – Just like my lack of weekly updates, I have been slacking on posting new free Blogger templates for you guys to enjoy and use. I’ll have a new one this weekend so look out for that one.

Top Commentators Adjustment – Originally, I had 10 spots for the top commentators but now it’s down to 7. The reason why is the fact that I decided that I would do a couple of link exchanges with other blogs in a similar niche with similar stats as me. But don’t worry, it won’t go any lower than five.

Plus, there were a few people that I caught just commenting just to get on the top commentators list and they were basically spamming. I mean, literally copying and pasting crap from other articles they find as a comment. That’s shameless if you ask me!

Happy Holidays! – I just wanted to say happy holidays to everyone that has been a part of DatMoney this year.  I hope you guys all have a great holiday, get great presents, eat some good food and stay warm!

Anyways, that’s all I can remember right now on my updates. I’m sure there were more but I guess I’m going to have to save it for next time!
