I recently caught up with an old friend and found out that he has created a service that is a great help to anyone who exchanges links.

His site will automatically check your link exchanges to make sure they are still valid, saving you a heap of time doing it manually.

Well worth the $15 lifetime fee it costs you.

I’d recommend checking it out  http://www.textlinkhq.com/

For sometime now I have been an offline online worker.

Sounds like a contradiction I know, but essentially I have no Internet access from where I am living, so I have to do everything offline and then when I get near somewhere that has net access upload it all.

It’s difficult at times, I can’t just go and google something, but in other respects its great.

I am sure everyone has suffered from Internet wandering syndrome. Just wandering around reading sites, checking out the latest and greatest. I know I used to do it a lot, its a great way to waste your time.

July is over, the reports for AdSense are done and I managed to get my sites back up to averaging about $5.75 a day.

Considering that most of the sites only came online again at the start of the month, and then all the database driven sites were down for over a week in the mid month period I am reasonably happy with that level of earnings.

The end of July and so far the start of August are doing much better than $5.75, and I am feeling somewhat energised to getting back on track, so I’ll keep my sites, work on them and get where I need to be.
