I am writing this article a bit late, I am very sorry for the delay, but, as with all things, Stuff Happens! We all are aware that technology keeps on moving, even when we don’t want it to, and that is the case here as best as I can explain it. The Exchange script that I have installed here, is old, very old by todays technology anyway, it is a 2004 model, and, the place I got it, in 2008, has never upgraded it. Now don’t get me wrong, the problem is not entirely the script’s fault, it has to do with the location I have it installed, and so on. The script was made to be installed on a server in the root location, I have it installed in a sub-directory, and, since it is encoded with ioncube, I cannot edit the php code, if I code get at the actual code, I would have done a lot of tings with it, but, this encrypted mess is tha problem, my sever has been upgraded and the new php versions will no longer let it work, at least that is what the support staff have told me.
I am however working on finding a newer script, or, once that will let me at the dang code! Or, I may just sell the domain, keep checking back to find out what happens. Again, I am very sorry for any inconvenience, if I can get it fixed, I will, in the meantime, just take a chill-pill and deal with it, that is what I am doing!
Today we find ourselves in an ever competitive world, every day, more and more people are turning to the internet to hunt for something, anything that can help them make a little more cash, but sadly, all they end up finding are get rich quick scams and rip-offs. Regretfully, traffic exchanges are by nature a promoter of this type of website.
OK, maybe I am just in the right mood, maybe it is part of a plan, either way, it is better for everyone! I am once again, changing a few things, that should be better for everyone.
Every once in a while, we all have to make decisions and choices, that do not, at first, seem to be fair. I have to say, I have noticed that these choices are doing something, yes, obviously the volume of traffic has gone down, seemingly drastic at first, but now, not so much.
Where I used to get maybe 20 or so, organic or search engine referral visits to my sites, I am now seeing hundreds, from 2-10 % on one, up to 45% , 54%, with direct traffic, that tells me that the powers that be, Google, are now seeing my sites differently. I have one, that when it debuted was a PR4, then rather quickly went down to a 2, and yes, Google did change up a bit, but now, due to the better traffic, I am expecting it to go way up.
Well, it is done! I sent out emails, yet we still had many that didn’t come back and login and surf, so, all but the ones that are obvious referrers, meaning, they had well over 10,000 credits on their account, have been deleted. I am going to guess here, but I believe it was somewhere around 50-60 members, that is a pretty good chunk, but, I had to do it to clean up the database so that the surf will run smoothly for the rest of us.
Hey everybody, we did it! A new Milestone has been reached! The total was actually a bit higher, but I caught it right on 600,000, I believe it got up to 600,090 or something before the last day on the list rolls over to zero, anyway, we did it!
Have you ever gotten bored, surfing? Hey, I have! I get so bored that I almost quit! I have to admit, surfing is about as boring as it gets!
I am sure that I am not alone in this, but I hate Rules! I am the kind of person that just tries to do what is right, without having to follow any stupid, stinkin’ rule! Unfortunately, there are those that will not do what is right, even if there is a Rule!
In case you have never heard of it, there is a plugin, called CommentLuv, that will automatically add a link to the last post of your website, if you use the same email address as you used to write that post.
