seriously, i haven't updated my site in 2 months, I just CBF. Its trend that has been occuring now for 12 months. First it was one week between updates, then 2, and now its worked its way to 2.5 months of no updates. I used to get 7000 uniques per day, now I get about 4000. I just don't give a fuck anymore ya know. I happy earning what it pays me each month, and simply, I just don't care anymore. I'm tired of all this google PR, algorithym, SE traffic bullshit, I'm just over it. I don't want to sell it, since websites are only worth 1 months income x 12 months, which would only be $36,000US. I don't want to sell if for such a little amount when it will still earn me say $30,000US over the 12 months, with minimal updates. Does anyone else ever get like this? Or been through before. I need to get out of my slump of not giving a crap, get in and do some updates, but I just don't have the effort or will to want to.
I thought that's what automation was for. So you can just go to the bar and have a drink, while your site is paying for it. Or you can hire someone who is really bored to update it. I myself have been at that stage with my cd lately, cuz i keep starting it and then i feel like i really suck at singing.
I`m like that right now - all my sites got a good PR boost but I get shit for traffic and almost no adsense earnings no matter what I do. Its like I did all this fucking hard ass work for a pretty little PR.
Yes, sometimes. For me it's always the next big project that has my interest, and sites that I developed a year or two ago just don't capture my enthusiasm like they used to. But web development isn't always fun, which is why people get paid to do it. If it was all a barrel of laughs, all the time, then it wouldn't be work and we would be inundated with hobbyists who all do it just for fun. Oh, wait...
