Now that the Knetwork’s Technorati Authority has skyrocketed to ummmm 1. I think it’s past time I joined and laid claim! This is another step forward in attracting users to the site. The increase in content output from having Franklin on board and posting great info has really shown in out Alexa ranking and we broke traffic records several times last week. Thanks so much to everyone for visiting! Anyway to claim a blog in Technorati you can simply post a special link to your Technorati Profile so that’s what’s going on with the evil mastermind headline.

I’ve also been playing with the ads some since Google is just ignoreing the fact that referral ads go totally bonkers instead of fixing them. Let me know if you find anything too obtrusive and out of the norm for web ads or if you have any suggestions.

The Knight Knetwork offers a hearty welcome to our new contributor and collaborator from Monk’s Movie Corner, Franklin Pettit. Franklin has been invaluable in offering advice and support in my various ventures. Like me, Franklin is a programmer and despite the fact that we work primarily in assembly we’re actually pretty up to date with tech news and most things geek. I’m looking forward to his contribution and have generously offered him a share of the negative profit that this site generates (still haven’t heard back from him on that front).

What does this mean for Knetwork readers? More Content! Yay! Look for Franklin’s first post this evening.

Well the money is just pouring in now!  (Pennies ARE money) up to $.09 but still a long way off from getting a check or paying for the domain/hosting, but I’m enjoying it so that’s worth a good bit right there.  I’ve added Monk’s Movie Corner to the blogroll and ditched The Consumerist.  The page load time has increased dramatically since their new redesign and the content has shown a decrease in quality with the comments are reflecting that.  It’s getting so bad that they’ve posted a plea for better behavior.

 Also, congrats to reader Josh.  Your GrandCentral invite has been sent!

  Today marks the launch of the newest (and first) additional site on the Knetwork.  Monk’s Movie Corner launches with two new movie reviews.  The first for the new Harry Potter Movie and the second for Hairspray.  Monk brings his unique perspective to movie critiques and we you’ll enjoy it as much as we do!  The content may get a little colorful at times, but that’s just Monk!

Updated the Cell Phones Toolkit with the Hex Editing and vx8600 hack info, but I don’t think I’ll post much more on it since it’s been discontinued by Verizon.  U

Update on having the site pay for itself… BIG STEP!  Earnings have doubled!  (to a grand total of $0.02) 

I called it on the Woot-Off, no Bag of Crap, and the Woot-Off ended with the Shirt.Woot.Com launch and a special Launch T-Shirt.  Only they forgot to set the default page for the shirt.woot.com folder and NONE of the links worked.  By the time I figured out to add the /default.aspx to the link the 500 shirts were sold out.  Not the best start, but new shirts on weekdays and it looks like they’ll be accepting designs from the masses so it should be interesting.

 Also, look out next week as the Knetwork expands with the launch of a second site… probably.  I’m just hosting and admin on this one so we’ll see if our writer is able to begin this week.  Have a great weekend!
