Another way to look for other sources of revenue as well as info on freesites, traffic etc is to attend OTB (see the link for radio on the menu above) it's every Saturday at 12n PST (3pm EST) lots of valuable information is presented there each week and a good way to get to know other webmasters. also on Wednesdays at 11pm EST (8pm PST) there is an SEO chat (no radio) that is text only where you can learn how to tweak a little on your sites before submitting them.
and if you really wanna know whats' going on in the wonder world of webmastering.. attend the weekly tuesday night radio show (see above link too) where you'll find out that Jim has dogs and other interesting bits of news and opinion.
