You think I would be used to it by now, but this year is starting out really slow for advertising, and it bums me out a little. January was still much higher than last year, but I'm not seeing the kind of CPM's I had toward the end of 2010. I'm reasonably confident it will pick up in the next month or two, as it historically has.
This is still the problem that I have, depending on Google, FM and the bottom feeding ad networks. They never really rock it this time of year. But you know, my sites are also more of a hobby that pays well, not a full-time job, so it's not like I'm going to jump out there and sell advertising myself.
Clearly I need a Web site that will run itself and be really popular in the winter. Roller coasters just aren't the hotness in the winter! Speaking of which, last month's trip to Universal Orlando has me itching for more riding.
