I only looked at your bookmark site breifly, but I did see it has an RSS feed button. is that to read or send RSS feeds? I kind of want something that will monitor my list of favorites and notify me when sites have changed (like blogs) so I don't have to keep clicking to find out theres nothing new. does your new thinggymo-jig do anything like that?
Kev: I'm at http://del.icio.us/bookchiq. I've been using it for a while and love it. I use it exclusively for my bookmarks.
k2h: do you use Bloglines? That's my favorite RSS aggregator. It's what I use to read all of your blogs. :) I organize with folders and just click my "Friends" folder when I have time, and see everything written by y'all. It also has a seperate notifier if you can't be bothered to go to the site.
Oh, and the RSS button on del.icio.us is to read a feed of the del.icio.us page. Good for monitoring tags (I have an RSS feed for http://del.icio.us/tag/personal+finance that helps me find good topics for my money blog. craigslist offers something similar that I use to monitor one-off telecommuting web dev jobs in various cities. I'm a big fan (in case it's not obvious).
thanks sarah! i'm looking into bloglines
by the way, how is your money blog doing? is it making you any?
Money blogs are doing reasonably well (I have two: frugal underground and Boise on the Cheap, which is just a localized version of the first one).
Google AdSense TOS prevent me from telling you my clickthrough rate or average $ per click, but the clickthrough rate is I think right about good-average, and the $ per click is better than average.
At this point the only limiting factor is traffic, which has been steadily increasing; all indications are that the clickthrough rate will stay proportionate, so I just need to get more visitors. That's what I'm working on now. :)
so, sarah, what keeps me from building an engine to clik your google ads to make you a bit of money (and reset my dls modem every few hours to get me a new public IP?
is that epressly forbidden by google? no thinking out of the box?
ASP has a nifty little webrequest object that is perfect for this. and if i need more power, i've a port of linux np? command that i modified for use in a webpage needing a trigger at a certian time of day for a mailing list.
no, it's the wget coommand.
Heh. Just looked back at this topic to see if there were any new comments. Yes, it is expressly forbidden by Google, and more than that, I think they'd shut down my account for click-fraud.
They actually did that this month already, but after some correspondence, they reinstated it (never told me exactly why they suspected click-fraud, though). They take it really, really seriously, because if it becomes a big problem, advertisers will stop buying from them.
that's HORRIBLE. IT WASN"T ME, I PROMISE!
i'm glad you got things hashed out with them.
