Calling Affiliate Project, come in, do you read me, over?

Have you missed us? Well we admit its been a long time since we last posted and you would think that with one key to affiliate marketing being content, content we really should be posting more often. We know, we know, however the problem is we have been doing content, content, content just for our niche sites and our big site so therefore these have been taking up a lot of our time. Plus we don’t want to just keep posting the same stuff over and over just to update the blog. We want to try and give you stuff you are interested in reading.

So with that in mind here is an update on how we are doing. We had a great month in March, our best every in fact. We hope this continues into April and so far it has been a good start to the month. Maybe not as good as March but then with people away for Easter this may pick up again soon. We have been working on a few niche sites and have really plough a lot of our efforts into our big site, a project with another affiliate. This is going great at the moment and we are working hard to put as much content up on this site as we can and get it looking great before we launch it.

We have also brought some new hosting. Our current domains have been on shared hosting while we get to grips with this affiliate marketing lark and while this has been ok so far we have noticed our resources are being stretched and our sites are sometimes down through no fault of our own. Therefore we have brought some VPS hosting. For those that don’t know this is Virtual Private Server hosting which means we have a dedicated virtual machine which we can control fully, take up and down when we want and won’t get affected as much by other sites on the server not related to ours. We hope to put some new sites on this as well as maybe migrating our bigger niches over once we have fully tested this. This is an intermediate step for us between shared hosting and dedicated server hosting which again we may explore further down the affiliate route.

Both Gary and I have had some time off over the Easter to spend with the family’s and with the recent change in weather I had my first BBQ of the season last night and I know Gary was planning one last week so lets hope the glorious weather continues.

Ok so this isn’t the best update but just thought I’d let you know we are still here, we are still working hard and we are progressing towards our goal. Onwards and upwards.
