Just to give you a little update about my one page sites - so far I’ve managed to do 2. I’ve created just a plain HTML page - added some Google Adsense and have added my own content.

So far:

Debt Site #1: Started March 20, 2006 - 3 Visitors.

Debt Site #2: Started March 17, 2006 - 16 Visitors.

No Clicks.

…. Not that I’m completely surprised. I’ve got no backlinks to the sites. They’re just sitting there in Internet limbo. But - Debt Site #1 I picked up when I saw that the domain was still getting traffic. Having it parked on Sedo - for March had over 100 visitors before I switched it over to the one page. There too - on Sedo it had no clicks. So I hope the new layout will provide me with something.

Debt Site #2 has been around for a while. But for the longest time - as a blog it was not getting any clicks either. There were a lot of articles on the site from places like EzineArticles - and they were indexed in Google. But it didn’t really do me any favours either. I think I’ve got the 404 page done… I’ll have to check on that. Hmmm… I’m going to have to check that I’ve got a robots.txt on there too. Seems that I don’t currently. But it can’t do any worse as a one page HTML as it did as a go no where blog.

I was tired of updating. I’m not completely passionate about it. But I don’t want to give up the domains quite yet. If I can make back the domain registration fees - I’ll be pretty happy. But who knows. I think I’m going to add the sites to a few directories and see what happens in the next couple of months.

I know that the two domains are in a highly competitive market of Debt / Debt Management - so I’m not expecting miracles.  But if the traffic does come in - even if it’s a trickle… $10 a year would be better than a kick in the pants… or it doing nothing parked or offline.

I’m on a quest for low maintenance.
