Back here I wrote about my retirement project status saying it had slowed down, well it’s continuing slowly, life has been getting in the way a little, and I’m easily distracted while I’m online.
So far it’s like this:
1 site fully effective (ie all text link ads sold)
3 sites have gained a PR rank of 2 in the last Google update and will be listed on TLA shortly
1 site (this one) awaiting a PR rank of some sort before I add to TLA
2 sites that I’ve recently started and will need more work and a google PR update before I bother submitting them to TLA
93 more sites that I need to create 
One of the things that is slowing me down is the Wordpress CMS I am using to create these sites. It seems that every second week an update is being issued that is critical for security reasons. If I get to the stage where I have 100 sites I don’t want to be updating the software on them every two weeks.
I’ve got a couple of options, Wordpress have a multi user version that I can upload but as far as I can see it means that all my sites would have to be on a subdomain. I have a domain I can use for this but I’m not sure if I have the tech skills to maintain the software as it isn’t as well supported as the standard wordpress version.
The other option I haven’t fully thought out is paying someone to write a script that will update all the sites, though this also might be a pain and I could be better off paying someone to help me maintain the multi user version.

[…] I finally got around to start submitting the sites I wrote about here to Text Link Ads. The first couple I tried came back with the same scripted message. We are sorry but your site has not been accepted into our publisher program at this time. The main reason for websites not being accepted is because of our minimum traffic and link popularity requirements. Please do note that we do reevaluate all submissions monthly and will notify you via email as soon as you are accepted. Hopefully soon! […]
