I have always had a hard time maintaining this blog. I have moved servers countless times and not bothered to retain the old archived posts. I just end up starting with a fresh install of wordpress and I’m off again. I think the reason why I haven’t kept the old posts (even though many of them were extremely informative), was because I never bothered monetizing this blog. I have never had ads on here. I think that if I could see a visible stream of money coming in (basically passive income), then I’d be motivated to continue posting useful things. Even if it’s only a few dollars a day, that’s all the proof I need that the time I spend is worth it. Unfortunately, when I am working online, I only see things in $. That’s more gas for my car, more food for my belly, and more money in the bank.

blogaboutyourblog.com has a post up about his blog making $1200 in 10 months of inactivity. This is more than four times the amount that he made in his five months of active blogging. I assume the income was all from adsense, and with his poor ad placement, and only 120 uniques/day, these numbers are very surprising.

I am going to implement adsense sometime soon.
