Free Web Traffic

I won’t point any fingers here or link to any sites because this little secret is everywhere on the web.

How much do you know about  hosting a website on the web?  The answer to that question for most people is "0".

There is nothing wrong with not knowing about website hosting. Unless you do it for a living.

I have just let this little secret slide without saying anything because I figured it out and thought if I did most everyone else would.

If you have ever shopped for website hosting you probably have seen the offers of unlimited space,databases, and bandwidth, usually under $10 a month. This is a great deal! I would not tell anyone to shy away from these great deals. Just beware of what "unlimited" really means in the hosting world……

Maybe I just have more than my share of problems with the free scripts and free blog themes.

I know I am not a college educated programmer or even webmaster but  I can figure things out pretty quickly and can usually troubleshoot and repair a php script  after a bit of reading. So why do I have so many little "glitches" ?

I believe it is the free scripts and themes I use. Lets face it, the free stuff is not going to be cutting edge!  As fast as things change on the web a free script or theme doesn’t have a chance. It seems every time I get the bugs worked out of my WordPress Blog The alert to update the script shows up again! Then the plugins or themes I have been using won’t work and have to be changed ……. the circle continues……….

A little story about my day today…….

All went well until I was to check out a tractor with no hydraulics. I started the tractor and the loader and lift arms worked fine. Hmmmm, must be the wrong tractor, so I went back in the shop and checked. Yup! The right one! Driving it into the shop I found nothing wrong. I don’t like jobs where I can’t recreate the problem….. they are pretty hard to fix.

I decided to service the transmission which is where the hydraulic system oil comes from. checking the oil I found it very low, not even on the dipstick, Not a big deal usually because that means it is about 2 gallons low out of 8 or above on most tractor of this size.  There is an internal transmission screen that sometime doesn’t get checked because you have to drain the system to check it. I decided to go there, I figured that would tell me the level of the oil, let me know of other problems if the screen was dirty and give me a head start if I needed to change the oil……………..

After still seeing problems with the blogs on the network I did some more house cleaning today, then upgraded our network from the wordpress mu 1.5.2 to the new 2.6. You will find some widgets and theme customization and probably some themes that will not work with the new platform. Life is fun!   

Please send any problem reports to support@trafficblognet.com

I left out FireStats of course. Most all of the other plugins that have been working are still available but probably turned off on your blog. Simply go to "Pugins" on your admin menu (left side in the blue bar on top) and turn on the plugins you want to use.

I have noticed that some of the plugins like Headspace seem to work better

I made the executive decision to completely remove FireStats. I have cleaned my hosting account of all unused or trial scripts trying to stop the intermittent error messages. It seems to only pop up when a script runs but I haven’t been able to single it out.

It can possibly be a total different site because we are on a shared server (sorry folks, I can’t afford $150 + a month so you can have free blogs!) but the bottom line is I can’t and won’t keep chasing my tail.

Don’t worry, Trafficblognet’s Free Web Traffic is here to stay! This network will make the members that pay attention more money than they would ever dream! The networks Alexa traffic rank is climbing  like a rocket! About 300,000 improvement since Aug 1! That should put us in the top 100,000 sites by the end of the month!

Thats a lot of traffic!

And you can grab your share for FREE!

The FireStats seems to be working fine so far (1 day). Traffic jumped back up. Its funny how a small script problem will drop traffic stats.  Of course we had a drop when I shut down a couple hundred spam blogs or splogs. It has been climbing slowly since. Slower now because I have put the splogs IP’s in the banned list. Firestats works great for finding the spam IP’s I noticed tonight, it looks like some of the banned IP’s are still trying to signup. Bots aren’t very smart I guess 

I will have to get tougher on the spammers as we grow, but right now they are bringing in some pretty targeted traffic. I’m sorry to say they are better at selecting tags than most.    !!! Everyone must remember the tags or search terms are how people find your copy through search engines so they are very important! They also have to be in the copy! I will work on some more posts on tag research and try to set up a live workshop if I get enough interest.

(Check out the Polls in the sidebar to the right and vote YES in the new Tags Training one if you want a live tags training.)

Fire Stats has been back on for 1/2 an hour with no problems!

It may go back down but I have the script author helping so I will make it work.  (If everyone is quiet maybe it will keep working!)

NOT!

This is a blog network! Keep posting! Work the scrips and server!

By the way? I have just documented a few little problems anyone can have when operating their website or blog on their own hosting. I have not had to contact my host yet but if the problem arises again, that is the next step!

I tried to have FireStats activated on install so all members can use it and crashed the whole site!

I am still trying!

After conversing with FireStats support and programmers I have tried to trim the script a little so all members can easily see their web traffic stats. We are after all in the business of creating website traffic for our members and want you to see the results of your work as soon as possible!
