As my first post this month of May in this site, I would like to share some of you readers what has happened for the last two months. For the last two months, my two sites have had this “unfortunate” surge of traffic. Some fo teh articles I wrote for them hit the first page of Google search results. The traffic of these sites combined caused a memory outage in my web host and so, as expected, being hosted with a shared web hosting environment created problems that really took a lot of time to solve.

This is in response to my friend query “How do I put images in my Wordpress blog post that will open in a new window?” I’ve long wanted to answer this question but I’ve been busy. The steps are simple. For those who know this already, this article will defintely be of no importance. For those who don’t, please read on and I hope you will learn something.

Like what I had in mind, the blog advertising network Matched.co.uk finally closed. I had this weird feeling that Matched will not materialize in the long run. This is because there are very few advertisers in the network and its offers to publishers are not very appealing (at least in my view). Add to that the fact that I did not make any money with the network. lol!

This morning, I was a bit shocked to find out that Smorty is showing some signs of life. I opened my email from the administrator indicating that an opportunity is available in my dashboard. I logged on to the network and found out that there was nothing (as usual).

Sponsoredreviews.com (SR) is a blog advertising network where I am a member of (among many other networks, lol!). Just a while ago, I logged on to my dashboard after more than a week. I was a bit disoriented because SR has adapted a new bidding system once more. This time, there is no minimum bid. You can only see the maximum bid for each opp and this gives advertisers a slight advantage because most bloggers will be forced to place lower bids in their hopes to get some review opportunities.

Today, I received my second direct offer from PPP. I received it via Yahoo Email Alert. The first PPP direct offer came exactly one month ago. The requirements of the offer are not difficult to follow. Minimum of 100 words, one link, neutral tone = 9 bucks is not a bad deal for a low-profile blogger like myself.

My good friend Amor of Amorfrancis.com was ranting about her Google PageRank this September after the most recent update of Google about 2 or 3 days ago. Her site, along with many others, was deranked from PR3 to PR2. This site suffered the same fate.

Google adsense for the web makes me some money per month. My earnings are small but I really don’t mind. I earn more by doing product reviews, not by serving Adsense. However, just last week I’ve noticed at the bottom of the Google Adsense login page that Google Adsense is also available for mobile websites – the Google Adsense for Mobile Content. It must have been there since I’ve been serving Adsense ads but I’ve just noticed it the last time I logged in to the Google Adsense page. I’ll have to admit that I do not login everyday. I do that task twice a week at most.

I’ve just finished setting up a new site but I will keep the web address secret for now. The topics to be covered in that site are, as the title of this article implies, mathematics and statistics. I was just wondering what kind of traffic can a math site derive from bloggers. I’m pretty sure not the kind of traffic that the Beijing 2008 Olympics brought to many blog sites about a month ago. It’s also certain that it will NOT make enough adsense money to cover my expenses on coffee, coffee and coffee. lol! But I honestly don’t care.

I have been inactive in blogging lately. I haven’t updated my other sites for a week or so and I really am struggling to keep up with my schedule offline. My web development projects are 25% done and I really can’t blog till I drop as of late.
