Where do you think I should go with my Technology Blog?

    Hi,

    I've owned FastPCMods.com for a couple years now, built it from scratch + wrote a lot of content for it.

    It's getting 20-30 hits a day at the moment and I haven't updated it in months as I don't have enough time to write consistently anymore. It isn't really making any money from adsense, probably a few pennies a month.

    So what I'm asking is what you think I should do with this site to revive it? Is it worth keeping? Has it got any potential? and if so, how would i go about making it as successful as it could be?

    Thanks a lot,

    Look forward to hearing from you!

    What you Should do in the first place is to figure out, if You need this site anymore, or not. If you do, you should definitely find more time to work on it to bring it back to life. On the other hand, even if you don't need it yourself, you can work on making it more visited and then sell it.

    If you don't care about it any more, forget about it, or present it to one of your friends (with a promise to get 5%, in case this friend becomes a millionaire)))

    Hi,

    Site looks good. :) But theme is quite simple, don't you think so? That's great that you write articles yourself. Content is the king. Try to write interesting and trendy articles :) God bless you!

    In general, your site is good. Just need a touch of SEO and website design and manage the placement of advertisements in order to increase your adsense revenue. You can replace with good themes like prosense themes or the other. Start to keep post by quality and trend topic. I think with some of these improvements, your website still has the potential to make money. Good luck!

    lol, we should discuss the deal, you're seemingly a sort of a rival for me here))) let's say you take the site, give 10% to the former owner, and 2% to me for suggesting such an idea in the first place

    best reply yet in my opinion!

    haha i appreciate all the feedback. I like the idea of a service blog. I think i just got quite downhearted when i'd been adding loads of articles + doing lots of seo work and i was still only getting 20-30 hits a day =[ Felt like there was something big i was missing out on

    If you really don't have time for it, you should consider selling it. It will only get more and more irrelevant over time, and became less valuable.

    I'd say if to sell it at the moment, it won't cost much, as it has already got somewhat irrelevant (no offence)

    I also agree with that, pay exceptional attention to choice of service, btw, select the niche with middle-level competition. If the market is intense, you have less chances to resist the competition.
