I'll start a new post on this one. When I first started this it never occurred to me that I was really combining two issues into one post.

I agree but it is becoming harder to get traffic to a real blog than it was just a year ago. I blame the shear quantity of crap that's out there and there is really very few places for a quality adult blog to be seen.
Of course I'm comparing my real blog and my at least hand written blog when saying that and I haven't taken care of them the way I know I should. I'm going to start showing them more love so I'll revisit that statement in another month

The seller "doesn't have time to maintain it." Maintain what? You've put no effort at all into it and now you want $300!

I actually saw someone trying to sell free hosted blogs...and people were actually interested

I've been slowly sliding into a black pit since mid June, it's looking like my page views will be down a million plus this month.
My ratios are going to hell too, I made a lousy fifty cents yesterday
I've been pluging traffic leaks, redid my internal linking and doing SEO on my splogs since getting back from Vegas and don't see a lick of improvement

I haven't fallen back any on my two massive splogs yet. In fact, Google traffic has actually increased. But my rate of growth has slowed considerably and I have also spent the last 4-6 weeks concentrating on "finishing them up" and I'm not finished.
I'm going back to prioritizing some of the newer, potentially more productive projects first and working on finishing the splogs as time permits and not the other way around. It's hard because the bulk of my adult income comes from them but I just have sinking feeling that I'm investing time in a losing proposition.
Kick kaktusan in the ass and get him to finish tagging for BO. I think that will give your splogs a much needed push.
