Writers' Row

[Lorie]

The AIA network is going down soon, and I'm thinking about what I should do with my leftover All Info About Teen Reading articles. It's not a huge number of articles and reviews, and it's been more of a hobby for me than a true "writing for money" project. So with that in mind, what do you think is the best way to get a little extra mileage (and maybe a few more AdSense clicks) out of these articles? Is it worth investing in my own domain? Would it be better to post them on a Blogspot blog? Should I just post them on Associated Content for the pageview bonuses? Any suggestions would be appreciated as I try to sort through where I want to go with this.

Lorie- for ten bucks, I can set you up a directory here at writers-row.

Or you can get your own domain for about 9 bucks a month at places like GoDaddy or Dreamhost.

I moved my AIA pastel site here to WR, and my AIA metaphysics site to my store's website.

So what's the story at AIA?

Just to be clear - the ten bucks for a site here is for one year, not a month. (You might mention us to other AIA refugees in need of a home.)

I'll definitely think about it. It sounds like a nice middle-ground between buying my own domain for a small site that might not be worth the expense and putting it on a free blog that will come out looking kind of cheap.

As for what the story is at AIA, the network never really recovered after the site took a dive with Google, and the two owners just can't carry the network anymore, financially and in terms of their personal lives. I hope that's generic yet informative enough. I'm never sure what's proprietary "discussed in the AIA forum" information and what's sharable.

What do you mean it "took a dive with google?" Do you mean it got a much lower search engine ranking?

Just curious.

Thanks.

There was a snippet on a commercial for the news yesterday that said something like "Is Google poised to take over the world?" I looked at my husband and said, "I thought they already did." He agreed.

I didn't see the news, but I wonder what they were talking about.
