Fleeing The Social Scene

So FOOA is done and I’m back in Michigan now. In retrospect I walked away from the experience having gained a better understanding of the relationships I as a publisher need to create with my readers in order to become a better blogger.

Getting to chat with Darren made me realize a very simple truth; a frequent honest blogger will gain a following. That being said great content breeds traffic. Traffic then breeds oppertunity for advertising. Oh, BTW traffic and advertising usually lead to money. Of course these ideas of traffic creating oppertunity and money can be true for other websites as well.

Those concepts I’m testing on my arcade site Tek Arcade. I’d shyed away from topsites and the site had faired well. It was making on average a few dollars a week. For what I paid that is about right. Now having come back from NYC, today I tried to sign it up for a dozen or so topsites. I’d like to see how these listing effect traffic and adversely, revenue.

This is just one of a few of my tests in advertising I’m trying on a few of my sites. Hopefully within a few weeks I’ll have some stats to share.

Wish me luck!
