So I’m trying some new things with my blog. I honestly have no idea how many people view my blog – its kind of just sitting here on the web with more posts than I thought I had actually written for it. So, I’m kind of curious what kind of traffic I’m getting (if any) and what people like looking at.

Recently, a tool for weblogs called Performancing Metrics was released, and it kind of looks like it will do what I want it to. I now have a tool to tell me how much traffic I get to my blog and find out once and for all how many people don’t feel like leaving comments on my posts ;^P.

The other addition is adsense banners. I figure that while I’m at it, I should try out the google ad banners thing. I don’t expect to make money from them. Mostly, I’m just trying it out to see what its like (the whole system behind the ads for instance). Of course, I won’t complain if you feel like clicking a link or two that interests you … I will get paid for those clicks, so click away! If I really cared, I would get those ads into places of prominence like the top of the screen or above the links on the right side for instance. But I decided to hide them away so that people won’t see them unless they actually scroll down to read my posts.

So umm … yeah. That’s the update for you. I’m kind of not too sure if I like the ads, and might decide to just take them down since I won’t exactly get a lot of money out of them. But it’s kind of cool to see some of the insides of the adsense program.
