I found out today that Google is working on another PR update.
I have a blog that is getting a little bit of traffic that talks about my kids and my thoughts on parenting. I started it just as a way of constantly reminding myself to think about being a decent parent. I started the site a few months back and it was too young for the last PR update to affect it.
This time, according to the PR checkers, it appears that I went from a 0 to a 5. Wow. We’ll see where it is sitting when everything settles down in a couple days.
The site has also managed to get indexed pretty well by Google and is starting to bring in a decent amount of AdSense money. It took me over a year to get my first check for earnings through last November. Now, it looks like later today, I will break the $100 barrier for December and so far this month.
This makes me pretty happy. It is nice to get to the point where I can do this hobby for free and make some pizza money. Now, with the new PR update, I’m going to try and get the site accepted into Text Link Ads program to see if I can manage to get another way of making a few bucks off of the site.
In a way, I wish another one of my blogs had been the one to get popular instead. BeAGoodDad is my baby. It is my most personal site by far.
All of the other blogging I do is much more hobby based. I enjoy learning about how blogs work and how the money side, both inbound and outbound, works. I’m looking forward to someday taking the time to learn to write my own CSS and how to pick a get hosting plan. The topics that I write about are of interest to me, but they are not my family.
On the plus side, it is very rewarding to have a site that I care so much for actually be the one that is doing the best.
