Worth the effort

Well, the redesigned site has been live for 4 months now and it seems to have been worth all the pain of recreating it (note to self - it takes longer than you think!)
In those four months its had over 70,000 visits and over 335,000 page views: comparable figures for the same period last year were 41,000 visits and 156,000 page views. (Have I mentioned lately how I love Google Analytics for making all this metrics stuff available to webmasters for free.)
In addition, since April the site has generated over US$500 in Ad Sense pocket money - not bad given I pay not a cent to advertise it.
I like this melarky of creating sites and then generating earnings from doing nothing, well maybe not nothing (see above.) If only I had time to create a few more sites…….. hmmmm, I feel another web project coming on
