So, it’s been over a month since my last DatMoney Weekly Updates so I figured I would update you guys on a few things and also mention that you guys don’t have to e-mail me right when you subscribe via e-mail to obtain the password to the $100/Day Adsense post. But keep reading and I’ll update you with more than just that.

Advertisement Changes - I don’t know how many people have noticed but I decided to make just a couple of adjustments to the ads being displayed here. The main changes were getting rid of the six 125×125 spots on the right hand side and only making it three. I did that for a couple of reasons:

1. To get more exposure to the current advertisers.
2. To not have so many ads cluttered in one section of my blog
3. Also, I have less advertisers contacting me currently for the 125×125 spots so I figured I’d reduce the number of ads being shown. And if more people contact me, I’ll add more 125×125 spots and get rid of the 160×60 banners below.

In addition, the other main change was the fact that I put a 350×250 Google Adsense Ad on individual posts right below the title. I’m actually doing this as an experiment for the search engine traffic I’m getting because on my other blog, it seems to work out pretty good for click-throughs.

I’m not sure how long I’ll leave it there but if it works out in my favor, I may just consider leaving it there.

Attention New E-mail Subscribers Looking for the $100/Day Password! - Although I love getting e-mails from you guys, it’s not necessary to e-mail me individually letting me know that you have subscribed and looking for the password. I usually only send out the password once a month as a batch and I usually give updates on my weekly updates posts so you guys know about it.

Of course, I understand a lot of you guys e-mailing me because you are fairly new and don’t know this information. But please be patient, you should get it by the end of this month if you have subscribed via e-mail, verified, etc.

Banner Designs E-mail - If you e-mailed my banner designs e-mail address within the past month or so, more than likely you never got a response. Well, I haven’t checked that e-mail in quite sometime so if you guys are still waiting to hear back, I’ll check it this weekend. If it’s a rush, please use my contact form to get in touch with me. Or add me on any of my instant messengers, I’m usually on at some point in the day.

Top Commentators Change - The only change I made was basically I took off the number of comments being displayed next to each commentator. I did this simply to avoid top commentators hijacking so if someone had 3 total comments and made it on the list, I didn’t want someone else to see that and try to comment 4 times just to knock that person out.

Of course, there’s always ways around this but at least it slows these one-time commentators down a little bit.

Contest Coming Soon - Well, hopefully it comes sooner than later. I mentioned earlier that I would hold a contest once I hit 1,000+ subscribers so it’ll depend on how fast I make it to that. At this rate, I may be close to it within a couple weeks but who really knows.

Does Anyone Have the Pagerank Tool? - There’s this pagerank tool I had (which I don’t anymore) that basically you typed in the URL and it would give you a list of all the pages/posts on the site with pagerank of each individual page. Does anyone have that tool or know where I can get it? If you do, I’ll hook you up with one month advertising here. Well, I’ll hook you up if you can hook me up. But it has to be this specific tool or something better than what I’m describing.

Guest Posting - Last time I mentioned I’d be interested in guest posts on here and a couple of people contacted me expressing interest. Unfortunately, no one has officially submitted one. If you are interested, please send me a copy of what you had in mind and I’ll consider posting it.

Anyways, those are some quick updates! Please contact me if you still have questions or concerns.

It’s been quite a while since my last DatMoney updates, and the main reason is the fact that I haven’t been around as much to keep up. But at least I get a few posts in each week. Anyways, because I have been busy, I decided I’m going to start outsourcing a few things. That’s just one of the many updates… let’s get straight into it.

Outsourcing Some Work - I was too cheap and hardheaded to outsource a lot of work. I think this is one of the main reasons why it was hard for me to multitask with all the projects that I’m working on. I’ve actually hired someone to help me out with the small tasks of building links, blog commenting, writing articles, etc. Don’t worry, these tasks are mainly for my other sites so that way I can focus a little more here.

But if you know of people who can help for cheap (or even for free), please let me know. I can definitely use the help, and who knows, you’ll probably learn a thing or two from me in the process.

Price Changes on Ad Space and Paid Reviews - I haven’t changed my prices for over a year now which is a good and bad thing. And good thing because advertisers get a pretty good price for what they are getting. But bad because that means I haven’t been increasing my stats like I’d like to.

Since I’m nearly around 900 RSS Feed subscribers (even though Google hasn’t updated my RSS counter) and all my stats are pretty decent, I’ve decided that on June 1st, 2009 that I will increase my prices. Of course, it won’t be anything drastic. I haven’t figured it out yet but more than likely I’m just going to increase prices by $5.00 USD a month or review.

I’m just easing it in and $5.00 isn’t even a big increase. Of course, if I really start promoting and my stats skyrocket, then that’s going to be a different thing.

If you sent me an e-mail regarding a paid review or ad spot already (or before June 1st) then you’ll get the old prices.

Password to the $100/Day Adsense Post Sent - I finally got around to sending out the next batch of e-mails for the password protected post of making $100/day from Adsense. If you subscribed since the last batch, verified and stayed subscribed, you should have the e-mail. I think I got everyone prior to today, so if you happen to missed the cutoff, you’re going to have to wait until the next one.

If you didn’t receive the password but subscribed, more than likely it’s in your spam so check it before you contact me. And if you just feel as though you never received it and you’re currently subscribed, then drop a comment or contact me and I’ll get it to you.

Site Flipping Series Update - Just a quick update, I’m considering just using a domain name and niche that I already have setup that is relatively new so you guys can follow along with that. I think you guys are more interested in the later results in progress rather than the very beginning.

Though, if the site I show you guys makes consistent money that is pretty good, I may actually hold off on selling it. I would prefer recurring revenue, if the money is right, rather than a lump sum up front… especially if there is a lot of potential in the site.

Guest Post Anyone? - Since I haven’t been able to update as much on here, I figured I’d give you guys chances on guest posting if you want to. Of course, you’ll get a backlink to your site (and whatever anchor text you want) as well as your post being sent out to the 800-900 subscribers of DatMoney.

I’m not too picky on the type of post, I just want it to be informative, interesting or related to online entrepreneurship. If you are interested, just shoot me an e-mail with an example of your post and I’ll let you know if it’s cool.

RSS Feed E-mail Delivery Hours Changed - Before I had my RSS Feeds sent out between 11am - 1pm EST but since my work schedule has changed slightly, I figured it’d be easier for me to get posts at a later time.

Currently, I’ve set it to be delivered between 3pm - 5pm EST but maybe possibly change that to a little later. I’m sure no one is going to care anyways, but I wanted to inform you guys if you were ever expecting to read my post right when you got it in your inbox.

Well, that’s it for now. Let me know if you guys have any questions!

Here comes another edition of DatMoney Weekly Updates to get you guys all caught up on where I stand on some of my online entrepreneur projects and what’s been new.

Where Have I Been? – Honestly, I’ve been going through a few personal issues that have taken my mind off of things and it’s hard trying to focus when things get you down, you know? I haven’t had my head on my shoulders for a while but I’m trying to get things back so I can get rolling but again, it’s hard.

On top of that, I’ve been working on new projects which I will mention further on this post.

I’m A Little Behind – If you sent me an e-mail within the past week or so, more than likely you haven’t received a response from me. Again, I haven’t really had my head on my shoulders and on top of that, some of my personal issues have been getting me down a lot so I’ve also lacked motivation to do anything. And it’s not only online stuff that, for the record.

Password to $100/day from Adsense Sent Out – I believe I sent out a mass e-mail last week or the week before to those e-mail subscribers that have been active and been patiently waiting.

If you haven’t received the password and you subscribed before one week ago, please let me know. My e-mail might have went straight to your spam or you might’ve deleted it for some odd reason?

Extending FREE Banner Designs – I decided that I’m going to extend this offer but not exactly where until when. Of course, you guys do need to meet the requirements and a lot of people were denied simply because they were looking for a head for a brand new blog.

Please read the requirements at “I Will Design Your Blog Header for FREE!”

Working on Amazon Sites – I recently signed up to promote Amazon products and someone gave me an idea to build niche sites for it. It’s almost like how I build my niche Adsense sites or maybe how some affiliate marketers create landing pages.

I’m testing a few things out because I heard you can make quite a decent amount of money with Amazon. Plus, it’s a trustworthy and known site so people won’t hesitate on buying it through them.

So, I’ve hit a speed bump with personal issues and I’m sure it happens to the best of us but it just depends on how we cope with it. I’ve been trying my best but when you are simply too distracted, you aren’t as productive and that’s how I’ve been for a little while. I’m still like that but I’m out to prove things to people… and that’s what is giving me that little motivation I need.

I decided to do my weekly update today rather than wait for the weekend. And a bunch of things have been going on since my last update and I figured I’d keep you guys entertained (or bored) with this post.

I Lost 500+ RSS Feed Subscribers! - Well, not exactly. Yesterday I finally hit 800+ subscribers until I checked today, it dropped to 278! The reason is I finally made the switch from my Feedburner account to Google and apparently my RSS Feed numbers are going to be extremely low on all my blogs for the next 72 hours or so. That is perfectly fine and everything but it just brings me to my next point/update.

Of course, after I write this entire post it just went back to normal.  Dammit!

Password to Protected Posts On Hold - Don’t worry, it shouldn’t be too long. I was planning on sending it out this week (yesterday actually) until I logged into my Feedburner account and didn’t have access to the e-mail subscribers due to transition. Once I get a hold of that information, I will send it out within the next day or two.

Link Exchange Anyone? - A few people have contacted me with link exchange inquires and I haven’t gotten back to them yet. Before you jump the gun, I’m mainly looking for link exchanges with my other blog iBlogtoBlog.com which would fit with entertainment, movie, music, sports type niches.

I’ll consider a few link exchanges here but please don’t contact me about it if your blog is brand spanking new. I’m going to be picky and look for blogs in a similar niche with the same type of quality links, traffic, subscribers, etc.

Recommended Wordpress Theme Designers? - Anyone have any recommendations? It doesn’t have to be an actual designer but if you know of any premium themes that would fit nicely with my site, that’d be great. I’m looking for something that would handle about the same about of ads I currently have and hopefully a 2-3 column template.

Most premium themes have referral and affiliate links and if I go with your recommendation, I’ll sign up through your affiliate link!

FREE Blog Headers Are Going Great! - I have only been able to design like 4-5 so far but it’s been going pretty good for the most part. I’m probably going to be extending this offer past what I originally said but I have yet to determine the date.

Site Flipping Team - I mentioned this in yesterday’s post but if you are still interested, please e-mail me by March 7th so we can all get this going already.

For the original people that expressed interest, if I do not hear from you by then, I will assume you are no longer interested.

Joint Ventures - If you aren’t interested in the site flipping group, I’m willing to partner up for a joint venture on a site. A few of you guys have already contacted me on a few and just as long as you guys stay committed, then I will definitely be interested in partnering up.

It’s good to do this because that way I have someone kicking my ass so I don’t get lazy and procrastinate and I can do the same too. I mean, no one wants the GOYFA certificate again!

Another Password Protected Post Coming Soon! - I was going to post a password protected post yesterday but since I didn’t have access to my e-mail subscribers, that basically defeated the purpose of even posting it. I’ll have it up pretty soon once I get my freakin’ Feedburner subscribers list.

And again, only my e-mail subscribers will receive the password to the protected posts.

FREE Advertising at DatMoney?! - Technically, yes, free. Unfortunately, it’s in a form of a contest that I’m sponsoring on another blog. They also have some other interesting prizes and you can check out the contest here.

I’m sure I’ll have more updates but in the meantime, I’ll try to get some more helpful posts written so you guys can actually go and try them out for yourselves.

I haven’t had a chance to do too many weekly updates simply because I’ve been busy with these projects that take longer than expected. But let’s go over some quick updates so I can try to answer some questions I keep getting through e-mail.

Password to My $100/Day Adsense Post – I mention this on every single weekly update only because I continue to get a lot of people e-mailing asking for the password because they never received it. I don’t have an automatic responder so I do this manually. And I try to e-mail out the password in batches once or twice a month because 1) you guys get a chance to read some of my posts instead of just that just the password protected ones and 2) so I’m not e-mailing everyone individually with the password.

If you took the time to e-mail me, more than likely I responded to you (except if you e-mailed within the past couple of days). Other than that, the rest of you guys will get the password soon enough.

eBook Status – I started to work on a couple of them but I don’t want to hurry it up and just release some garbage eBooks. I see so many of them out there that I just want the ones I write to actually be pretty decent and helpful.

Additionally, the first one I’m going to release will probably be a simpler one so I can get a feel on how you guys like it. And just a heads up, my e-mail subscribers will get this first eBook for free so make sure you look out for that sometime in the near future.

Site Flipping Teams – I sent an e-mail out to those that were interested before in creating a website with me and then selling it for a profit. I only heard back from a couple of you guys, and I basically asked for you guys to start brainstorming on ideas for niche and stuff so we can get it underway.

And if anyone else is interested in joining, please let me know. But keep in mind, I’m looking for people that are somewhat dedicated and are good with communicating.

Sponsoring Your Contests – I was asked if I’d be interested in sponsoring some contests and with what. To answer the question, I would be interested if you are holding one but I’m going to assume I would get some benefit from it. More than likely I’d sponsor ad space for a month on either of my blogs, possibly banner designs, text links and stuff like that.

Of course, I can’t sponsor everyone so it’ll be more of a first come first serve.

I Considered Selling DatMoney – Yes, you’ve read right. I did consider selling DatMoney simply for the fact that I needed quite a lot of money to pay off some bills. But after thinking about it for quite sometime, I decided to hold off on it. And honestly, it was simply because of you guys that take the time to network with me, comment on my blog, subscribe, visits daily, etc.

Since you guys continue to support me, I will do my best to try to support you guys. So, thank you everyone!

And that’s a quick update for you guys that were interested.
