Site Update

Posted by Matt in January 19th, 2008

I would like to say thanks to all of you that commented about the new theme. I spent months searching around for a new theme that I liked. The new theme is called Cubez.

I’ve changed the advertising as well. I haven’t been happy with the quality of the ads displayed by Google’s Adsense. So I developed my own ad rotator for Amazon.Com ads. These ads are only shown on single post pages. On the main page I’m now using Neverblueads in the sidebar.

I developed an Amazon.Com store with interesting military and war DVDs. The link for this is in the Ads category in the sidebar.

My advertising goal is serve up interesting ads for items that you actually want.

Traffic to 1913Intel is slowly growing. I get about 1,000 to 2,000 unique visitors a day.

Where do I get the material for this site? I have many different sources, but Google News is my primary source. I get news alerts, and I also scan hundreds of articles each day. I’ve highly optimized Google News to really narrow down the material that I get. I spend about one hour a day posting articles.

More Updates:

1. The Custom Search is now fixed.

2. The Amazon.Com category includes all posts with a reference to Amazon.Com.
