I had a pretty busy February so I didn’t get around to posting much, but here’s what I’ve been up to:

Travel

I decided to sit Spring Break out this year because of all the work stuff I’ve got going on in the next month or two. Taking a week or longer off to go party would set me way back, so I’m gonna hold off on that for a while. That being said, next week I’m going to Stratton in Vermont to snowboard for a couple days. I went there like five years ago and it was pretty cool… way better than our local ski resort so I’m pumped to get up there.

I’m also headed down to North Carolina with my family some time in April, but besides those two trips I don’t have anything big on the horizon. Just enjoying myself in State College and hopefully getting a lot done.

Business

I stretched myself pretty thin business-wise in February, but I’m pumped for all the new projects I’ve got in the pipeline. I bought HoldemReview.com from one of my buddies, which is an awesome site that I’m hoping to push over the top in the next year or so. I also just re-launched InternetPoker.org and have been working on PokerRules.net, both of which are fairly new projects that probably need another month or two before they’ll be earners. The Internet Poker site isn’t really complete at the moment, but I wanted to get the new template up and start sorting out the redirects before I add a bunch of pages. The poker rules site is getting good traffic already, but I’m a little concerned with how the site will convert. If I can’t just push people to a poker site I’ve got a few other ideas to monetize the site that I’ll try out.

Besides new stuff, I’ve also been working on fine-tuning my main poker site a little bit as far as conversions go. I use CrazyEgg to do this stuff, and it seriously is the best $9 I spend every month. The original landing page I had set up was converting traffic to “money clicks” at a pretty low percentage, and after trying out five or six different ones I’ve found one that’s 200% better than the original. Obviously that is a significant increase in earnings for just a little bit of work and testing.

Moral of the story is test your pages because you’re probably “leaking” money somewhere
