BlogRush is now removed

I tested BlogRush for a few months now and its not delivered to my expectations so now i’m removing, you no longer see it. I would receive around 1 visitor every 2 weeks which makes me think whats the point in having it on your blog? Along with not delivering traffic it slows down the site and eats resources so thats a bonus of removing it. Will i ever return to it? Probably not unless they do...

Server is being upgraded to dual dual cores

I received an email from my hosting company notifying me that they are going to be upgrading my server. So that means this blog and talkplaystation will likely to receive some down time while the upgrade takes place. i will be moving from older Dual Xeons servers to newer Dual Dual-Core servers. Sounds good to me! The server moves will begin on Wednesday April 30th and complete by Sunday May 10th so if...

Niche blogging, best thing i did

Talkplaystation has been online for just over a month and things are looking really good! In one month it managed to achieve:- 13,310 Visits (11,730 Uniques) 429.35 Visits/Day 19,220 Page Views 152 Posts That isn’t bad at all for a blog thats been online for a month and i hope things get better and better. I’m very glad i launched this playstation blog because i probably would be chatting...

No need to worry about indexing anymore

Everytime i made a new blog post i used to check in Google and other search engines to see if it’s been indexed. Not anymore. I hardly every check now because Google is probably guaranteed to index a blog post within one hour. If it doesn’t then it’s usually when it next crawls your site. This is good because if you want to get some traffic quickly and have some good news to post you can...

More reviews etc to come

I’ve been very busy recently with work, breaks and blogs. As you may have noticed i’ve not written any reviews for quite some time due to time constraints. I can assure you that reviews will start to flow once i find more free time. I’m thinking of moving my video game reviews over to talkplaystation.com because most of my if not all my game reviews are Playstation games. Although, if i...

2 of many updates completed for talkplaystation

I’ve now completed my second update for talkplaystation.com. This time it was ‘Make subscribe to RSS more visible rather than e-mail’. Basically what i’ve done is removed ‘Recent Posts’ that was in the sidebar and instead put in place the subscribe details. I mentioned that i would only put RSS information there but it makes sense to include both RSS and email...

I’m going to get rid of BlogRush next week

I gave BlogRush a try when i started this blog to hopefully drive some traffic my way. I haven’t been happy with it at all and doesn’t really drive any traffic, maybe something like 3 visitors per month which is pathetic. I’m going to remove the widget next week and stick to organic traffic. Also it may speed up the sites load times a little so thats another advantage of removing...
