Diversifying my website income

Like a lot of web entrepreneurs I only really use google adsense on my sites.
I like adsense but I think I am just too dependant on it. What I have promised myself I would do is to try to diversify my income. So I have started making money from directory submissions (www.bizbookmarks.com, themetree.com, bizsocial.com), parking my unused domains (I should have done this a long time ago) at auctionads which basically allows you to put ebay ads on your site, its quite similar to adsense in the way it works .

I have also got another advertiser from text link ads (see $100 in FREE Links) on this blog see, Technology public relations at the footer of this blog in the red box..

Update on the bank card fraud: I have submitted a disputes form to my bank.

The importance of having a robots.txt file

I didn’t really place much importance on having a robots.txt file hence some of my sites had one and some others didn’t.  Now the problem with not having one is that if Google cannot find your robots.txt file and doesn’t get a 404 page not found error, Google won’t spider (crawl/index) your site. 

This created the problem of my homepages not being indexed but the rest of the site was. I found this problem by logging into sitemaps and verifying my site.
