Maybe this isn’t the correct forum, but since there is an AdSense component to my question, here goes…. I’m wondering what kind things need to be done to maintain and monitor an article-based adsense/affiliate website (no order fulfillment on my part)….beyond adding new content. I’m talking about the boring, nuts-n-bolts, back-end things. For instance, I understand that trying to develop reciprocal links is one thing to spend time on. Another might be monitoring clicks on adSense links to keep an eye on click fraud. Basically, I’m trying to figure out how many hours a week I need to set aside for monitoring and maintenance issues, and from there figure out how many websites I should build. So my questions are: 1) What are the things I need to attend to in monitioring & maintaining my website (beyond adding/updating content)? 2) How much time should I plan on spending on a site-by-site basis? 3) Are there any tools out there to help me do these things efficiently? Thanks in advance. Total noob here!!
