I spoke a while ago about a discovery I have made : server side includes.
It means that when I edit a menu on Jonk’s Bargains, those edits re reflected across the whole site. This saves a lot of time! It also allows for a bit of experimenting.
The site is now monetised a little bit and has so far made $US24. Which is semi-decent.
It’s getting a fairly low amount of traffic in the scheme of things (90/day) but its growing, albeit slowly.
I’m going to buy Australian hosting soon ($50/yr). Because of this I will be listed on Google.com.au and my traffic should increase a lot (there’s a lot less keyword competition on the Australian version.. as should be obvious.)
If you don’t care about being listed on Australia (or if you own a .com.au domain name) I have heard (courtesy JonLee.ca) of some VERY cheap web-hosting. Pay for what you use! If Jonk’s Bargains was hosted on this, at the current levels I’d pay maybe $1-2 a year. A YEAR. That’s because my site is nearly 100% text.
