Here are the latest results in my ongoing goal project. The calendar year is drawing to a close, and I’m starting to see some interesting results. Apologies if this bores you, but if you want a laugh, check out the IT Crowd post instead. For everyone else, read on… 1. Develop Swollen Pickles into a [...]

Good news, I can finally tick off one goal from my goals project list. That’s right, a week ago I picked up an Xbox360! I can’t believe I waited so long, that machine is freakin awesome. Hooked into surround sound I was blown away by the details. After a few games I was also glad [...]

October was an interesting month. Results for this month were really a mixed bag. I’ve been preoccupied with other things recently, which has meant that I’ve had very little time to devote to the websites, and the goals project. 1. Develop Swollen Pickles into a website that can generate $200 per month. There was a [...]

It’s that time of the month again… the monthly goal update. Not sure that anyone actually reads and/or likes these, but I do, so that’s the main thing! As we all know from reading last months update, August 2007 kicked all kinds of booty for Swollen Pickles, with record highs across the board. I know [...]

September looks like it’s going to obliterate all swollenpickles.com monthly traffic records. The first 11 days of September have seen 10,235 unique visits, blowing right past the previous record of 8,783 in August 2007. At the current rate, I’ll pass the 15,000 unique visits for the month goal within the next few days. Why the [...]

It’s once again time for my goal project update. August was a bona fide ball tearer for swollenpickles.com in terms of both revenue and traffic. I also edged closer to achieving a couple of my other goals. 1. Develop Swollen Pickles into a website that can generate $200 per month. For the first time is [...]

It’s time for my goal project update. In July, things slowly started to turn back around. In general all figures were up in July which was a good sign, particularly after the disappointment of June. 1. Develop Swollen Pickles into a website that can generate $200 per month. The total for the month was $80.28USD, [...]

I’m unofficially adding a new goal to my “goals project”. Since I registered with the Australian blogs community, I’ve seen Swollen Pickles slowly rise up the rankings of the top 100 Australian blogs. As of last nights update, Swollen Pickles has reached the number 55 spot. I am now within 3 places of my arch [...]

Well, June was a crappy month for the goal project. Firstly, my laptop was undergoing repairs for 75% of the month, so that meant that working on either of my project sites was all but impossible. Secondly, figures (besides my weight!) took a nose dive. It’s kind of hard not to get a little despondent [...]

It has come to my attention that Swollen Pickles has become less ‘pimped’ and more ‘whore’d’ of late. This administration agrees. Whilst AuctionAds and Adsense are cool, they are taking up a lot of page real estate. They fact that neither are super earners on this site might see both of those programs scaled back [...]

Well I am now three months into the personal goal project. May 2007 was both a good and bad month. I did get a little distracted throughout May and lost sight of the end target. It’s fairly safe to say that some of the months results reflect that. Here is the report on the results [...]
