I almost had a heart attack!

Last Saturday I had quite a shock: My most important websites: WorkAtHomeMadeEasy.net and Residual-Traffic.com were down! I tried again and again but I couldn't access them so I contacted Host4Profit support. Turns out that they were aware of the problem and were working on a server issue - One of the critical partitions on the harddrive became corrupt.

Thanks to Host4Profit staff's quick response my websites were up quickly and only had a little over 2 hours of downtime. Even though this was very unfortunate I'm glad it didn't last longer. I'm promoting my websites 24/7 and also my affiliate programs through theses sites so I may have lost some sales there, but I'm not sure. I know for certain that I was spending money promoting websites that weren't there over these 2 hours and hopefully I didn't lose too much.

But this is one of the risks of doing business online, you never know what can happen.

On a lighter subject, I continue to climb the Top 25 latter at TrafficSwarm, now I'm #21 and only 20 referrals away from #20 ;) However I'm thinking about slowing down my Google AdWords campaign, either putting it on hold all together or just pause some keywords.

My offer is still open: Join TrafficSwarm under me, surf 50 pages and you'll get 100 free credits from TrafficSwarm - on top of that I'll send you 200 of my own credits ;) Just put your TrafficSwarm ID# and name in the comments of this post.
- think about it, it's 300 free credits in the best traffic exchange in the world.
