Trying to get back into my routine after the holidays can be difficult at times, especially when the kids want you to join them in all their video games, laser gun battles, card games you name it. But I have to say I am becoming proficient at Guitar Hero.

A couple of months ago I joined a company called Performancing.com, you probably seen the little graphic of them on the right side of the page. The reason I joined at first was to collect statistics on this blog. I wanted to know how many visitors I was getting and what pages were being read the most, to get an idea of the interests of my readers. Later on I found out that merchants can place ads on your blog through this company. So I thought what the heck, if I can make a little money from the blog and continue to give free content it will be a win win situation.

At first I liked the statistics I was getting from Performancing.com but just after a few weeks I noticed that the stats on their web page were not getting updated. I had made numerous posts and all that was showing up on their site was about five, and when I clicked on the title of the posts I was getting page not found errors. They also provide a Blog Rank Counter for you to place on your site, and sometimes mine would say 0, which I found hard to believe. Over the past week or two I had decided to take the links off of my site for them since I was not getting any benefit from them at all.

Yesterday in my surfing journeys I came across a headline stating that Pay Per Post.com a blog advertising company had acquired Performancing.com. Maybe the reason that the information on Performancing.com had not been updated is because of the transition, who knows! You can read more info about this acquisition on Pay Per Posts Blog.

I think that I will hold off on taking the graphics off for now and see what Pay Per Post.com can do with it. Hopefully there will be some improvements in their system, it seems to be a good concept that was not being managed very well. We shall see.

   Thanks for your comments.

   Wise decision, lets see what PayPerPost is going to do with it.

   It seems PayPerPost needs more employees, or maybe the holidays is slowing everything down.

   Glad you like the Blog, I try to update a minimum of 2-3 times a week.

   Check back often!

   Take Care
