Weekly Recap

Weekly recap is going to be on the brief side this week, as this weekend promises to be on the hectic side.

I’m still catching up on some lingering work from shifting hosts, as far as getting the last few sites moved over, so that I can completely shut down the old hosting account. WordPress isn’t helping matters, either, as they’ve released three upgrades in the last few weeks, so I’ve been spinning my wheels a bit there, upgrading sites here and there to the new version, only to find out a few days later there’s a newer new version, etc.

On the content side, I rolled out a new site at Vroomchatter.com, which soaked up much of my time as far as content creation. I’m not a die hard NASCAR fan, but we watch the race most weekends, and actually went to a race in Phoenix on our honeymoon, so it’s something I’m interested in, which makes content creation much easier. I also wanted to try an affiliate site that was a bit different than my other stuff, as far as taking a popular niche like NASCAR (which has lots of fan sies, blogs, and news sites) and creating a site that would aggregate a lot of the content, with a little wit and insight thrown in for good measure.
I’m probably going to chill a bit on adding new sites for awhile, as I’ve got a good mix of sites going at the moment, and a month or two to really crank on the content and site optimization before Google and other search engines fully index the sites. We’ll see if I can stick to that promise, though, as I’m sort of a sucker for suddenly deciding that OH MY LORD I MUST HAVE A SITE ABOUT DIABETIC WOMBATS and registering the domain, slapping up a site quickly with WordPress, and creating a bunch of content for it.

Traffic is inching up here, week by week, which is encouraging, especially since I’ve done very little to try to generate traffic, other than simply post content.
