I've been doing a lot of work the last 4 months in which time I went FT as an adult webmaster. My 4th month in was my best month with $476.00 in sales...then everything went to shit. January was surely going to be even better than decemeber until my host was down for way too long, my listing must have been dropped by almost everyone because my traffic on my submitting domain is lucky to get half of the 20,000 uniques I was getting on it a day. Now I'm at a measly $114.00 in sales for January.

I've been in the process of switcing hosts the last couple days and it's almost all done except for a few minor things. Word of advice for newbies, do not cheap out on hosting when you are starting off. I learned the hard way what a "disount host" is. Spend the money upfront for quality hosting because if you don't you could end up in my situation and be losing $$$ now.

Question for everyone should I basically start over on a new domain? I think I may so I won't have to login to my stats and see the nothing traffic I now have on that domain, it hurts
