I’m not too sure about other Chitika publishers, but I’ve noticed that my Chitika’s unaudited revenue statistics are being published late by an additional day since a couple of days back. Previously, Chitika publishers - including me - have been getting their statistics late by only one day, but since a couple of days back, […]

I’m not sure how to feel now that I’ve gotten what’s probably my first one cent Adsense click. Normally, it’s almost impossible for me to decipher which click is worth the “golden” number of $0.01 given that it’s usually mashed up with other clicks, but today, it was the very first click I received.

I’ll not waste time and go straight to the point. Performancing Metrics hasn’t performed at the level I’ve expected it to, but it’s perhaps too early to say anything as it is still in public beta after all.

While many might accuse me of judging newbies […]

Following the relatively recent WordPress 2.0.1 release, WordPress developers have made available WordPress 2.0.2. The upgrade contains a few bug fixes and resolves several XSS security issues (which FYI, I have no idea about either).
You can get this latest version of WordPress at WordPress.org.
P.S. I know I said I might upgrade this blog (currently […]

With the relatively recent complaints that pinging Ping-O-Matic was resulting in lags (and even the dreaded White-Screen-Of-Death) when publishing posts, it wasn’t a surprise that Ping-O-Matic took the hardware-upgrade route.
