99% of the income is affiliate links. I have adsense on there, but haven't really made any money on it. Finding the products is the worst part about it, i kind of restricted myself with the "under $15" theme. It sat dormant for months, but I'm going to try and get a new product up every day. As far as traffic goes, I kind of got lucky. I had an old Tumblr Blog with a domain name years ago. Tumblr used to have this program where a few people were curators for each category. This lead to a ton of followers and reblogs. They shut that program down and I've since stopped working on that blog, so I forward the domain to this new site. Still gets traffic daily. The rest is pinterest.

When I first built it I tried to automate that part of it, but had mixed results, nothing that grabbed attention. I just post things I find cool now.

None of the ones that Wordpress auto-posts have really done anything for me. Pinterest and Stumble Upon have to be submitted manually, but they seem to work out well.

Generally just whenever a thread like this pops up here or on Reddit.

Thanks! It's anywhere from $100 to $200 a month, more around Christmas time.

Not much to mine, but they seem to be doing pretty well.

I have my own google apps domain and tried to sign up for it with my email, but it says that my I haven't enabled it for my domain. Anybody know where I go to do that?
Ogden and Halliday are both names from the book Ready Player One (http://goo.gl/f3OUa). Is this just a coincidence?

I've had a memory foam mattress from BedInABox for a few years now and I love it!
