Of course that's a possibility - there's not a lot of domains out there expiring because they are performing too well for the owner

I'd look into using your existing domains, registering new ones or buying domains from people that I know & trust (assuming they are selling their domains for some reason)

A few nights ago, I couldn't get to sleep. I tossed and turned until I gave up around 3am and came over to the computer to sit here and stare at my sites. You've no idea how close I came to shutting them all down. In all honesty - that was exactly what I was thinking of doing. Just kill them all. I was depressed, despondent and ready to give it all up. Why? Earlier that same evening, while looking at my stats, I came to the dramatic realization that after 5+ years of doing this, I know absolutely nothing about traffic generation.

So, this is my advice: don't quit your day job.

Now... that's not the proper attitude Useless.

I am thinking you are probably being a bit modest here, and I know you can generate traffic. As many friends and such as you have here, you should be able to get links without trying. Get enough good links and enough quality submitters and watch it grow.

Why do you people let me post shit like that? I should make bumper stickers. I don't suffer from depression, but the people around me do.

Glad to hear that you're sticking with it Calavera. It's really about hard work and experimentation. As long as you're willing to do both, there is money to be made. Just don't become like me and you'll be fine.
