The August of my Discontent: AdSense on Autopilot
Regular readers may wonder where I've been for the past month. Let me say that my wife and I are glad August is over. Between a sibling diagnosed with a rare hormonal disease, a parent dying of lung cancer and moved to palliative care, a dog (one of the two featured here) diagnosed with lymphoma (yes, we're going to treat her), and an interrupted vacation where our luggage was lost, we've had more than enough stress and I really haven't felt like doing any kind of writing, including posting here. But life continues, one way or another, and you can expect new postings from me here and elsewhere on a regular basis. So I'm back.
It's at times like this when you really appreciate the “autopilot” nature of content monetization with AdSense. I'd check my stats occasionally and make sure the sites were up and running, but I didn't really do anything to promote or otherwise change my sites, and I was still making the same money I was making before all this happened. Even my affiliate programs were up and running and making me money. It's great, because that money will help offset all those unexpected expenses that have suddenly cropped up.
It'll take me a while to catch up on all my mail and all my blog readings. If you've tried to contact me and I haven't responded, you might want to resend your mail to make sure I don't overlook it. I'm coming up with a list of topics now for future postings, but suggestions are always appreciated.
