Here's my progress so far, but my impressions/clicks are somewhat inflated due to most of my traffic (so far) being from small Google PPC campaigns.

Can a mod shrink this for me?

Are you sure you did not mix up comments and trackback links?

yeah its actually a wordpress feature, the code that executes the pings is in wp-admin/execute_pings.php
trackbacks need an entry in post.to_ping (newline separated urls), rpc pings need an entry in post_meta.

I did not go through the whole code but I guess it just sends the trackbacks, wether or not the receiver can handle it.
I'm using lyceum but I think thats default wordpress functionality

rileypool: nice! congrats!
Do you have any other income streams? I mean affiliate sites, et cetera?

Well I figured I'd update my status on this as well and my status is that I just got the fucking internet back up and running about 5 minutes ago after been down for a week, it was supposed to be hooked up at my new house on the first and now its the 6th those bastards caused me a loss of work.

So I'll have to catch up a little bit now but I hope everyone else is doing alright I read a few more posts here but off to catch up on the forum again.

lubber · 11-06-2007, 03:48 PM

does anyone know of a wordpress plugin that would let me pull posts from a database on domainX and publish them on domainY. I don't want this in RSS I just want it to take the posts from a database.

SEO_Mike · 11-06-2007, 04:17 PM

If you own both domains, then yes, you can do that:

Login to the cPanel for domainY
Click on MySQL Databases
Scroll to the bottom of the page and enter the IP address for domainX under Access Hosts
In the wp-config.php file of domainY enter the database information for domainX and for the host use domainY's IP address

Make sense? Or did I just talk you in circles?

I was wondering where you went Aequitas...when regular posters suddenly stop you start to worry that they are laying cold sprawled out accross the laptop with the cat eating them as left overs...

rileypool · 11-06-2007, 04:48 PM

Nope, this is all new to me. Granted I am very familiar with the technologies that I'm using and am very good at picking up new programming languages.

These are my first attempts at making a legitimate living off the internet. That is if you don't count this time last year when everybody was banking of MySpace.

lubber · 11-06-2007, 05:00 PM

SEO_Mike -makes sense. I guess I would then have to set a cron job to only post X number of times per day. the database has about 800k entries. I also don't want to post all the fields in the database so...

Yeah I know hey but now its called FaceBook growing at 100,000 new members per day, MySpace has or had over 100 Million members and last I checked FaceBook only has 9 Million right now so lots of time to crash the system lol.

I've already tried their flyers without ANY success. Guess I need to step up my PPC game. I was actually quite disappointed. But I'll give it another shot since I've recently had some more practice with PPC campaigns and have gotten 3-7% CTR's.

SEO_Mike · 11-06-2007, 08:46 PM

Update: I finally added some feeds to the X7G blogs. 20 blogs on WPMU with at least 200 posts each. Used the script I have at sempros.net/feed-finder.php to pull feeds. Put them in, ran them and called it good.

Something annoying I found out about WPMU: you can edit the themes under Presentation, so to put adsense in you have hardcode it into the theme files by hand. Just edit the files and FTP them to your server. Plus, they are global, so if you are running WPMU be aware of that, particularly if you have it setup so others can create blogs. Why? If someone creates a blog that violates Adsense TOS, YOU can lose your adsense account.

Also, added statcounter tracking to it. Had to hardcode that into the footer, so it tracks anything that has X7G.net in it.

Checked Yahoo! and can see that there are already inbound links to the Student Loans blog. Nice!

springer · 11-06-2007, 09:09 PM

You can use plugins in WPMU, can't you? If so, here ya go gadsense.zip It's a widget to put adsense in your sidebar. You can actually plug in any ad code you'd like, it's not limited to just adsense.

Sure, it won't help if you want to place the big rectangles on your post pages or just below your header but, it's a start. It's easy to use and best of all, it's free.

rileypool · 11-07-2007, 02:45 AM

For the n00bs looking for some helpful information I suggest reading the rss scraping and autoblogging thread that's been mentioned in this thread a few times. I just provided this "great" idea I had (even though its VERY simple) and to some it may just be what they need.

But I just had a question for you all that are familiar with cycle sites and splogs. Say I had a domain with 10 subdomains. Say those 10 subdomains were all setup to use Eli's WP-Autoblog. Those 10 subdomains also have about 150 feeds in each of them. Wouldn't that be equivalent to a small cycle site?

I have a feeling that I'm about to be contacted by my hosting provider. Let me know what you all think.
