OK...I've got the bugs worked out and am making progress again.

I've got newsletters and archives set up for the following:

NFL (Daily)

These four teams are weekly as of now:
Arizona Cardinals
Atlanta Falcons
Baltimore Ravens
Buffalo Bills

Every day/week, GodfatherBomb sends out an email newsletter that includes the latest news and recent ebay auctions.

It also creates an html "archive" of that page to "auto-drip" content to the web site. As it creates new archive pages, it also generates a link to that page and adds it to an ssi file. This file is then included on all team archive pages, creating automatic cross-linking. See the homepage for a working example.

The news on these archive html pages is static. However, I inserted BlobBomb SSI tgs into the archive template so that the ebay listing are always fresh.

The index page for each team is all dynamic, both the news and ebay auctions will change and are added using Blogbomb via SSI.

In all html templates I'm making good use of SSI. All the Google Adsense, as well as footer and "NFL Team Updates:" are added using various SSI files.

For example, I have a file called ssi-footer.html which contains all the footer info. I can change this one file and the footer for every page on the site will be change.

Same thing for all three adsense blocks. I can modify the corresponding ssi file, and tweak or even remove Adsense across all pages at once. A real time saver.

So, some SSI files modify all the pages on a site, while the "archive" ssi files only modify pages for each team.

The content can be improved. However, right now everything is on "autopilot". At this point in time, there are no subscribers and all efforts should concentrate on increasing subscribers.

Why write 40+ emails a week when no one is reading them? Instead, marketing and promo is the next step.

Once there are enough subscribers, then the content can be improved. One obvious way is to use Scrubz. As the lists increase in size, add a message to each list asking for volunteers or help...Or, contact blog/forum owners for JVs for their content. You use their posts and link to their blogs/forums in exchange.

With a little input into content, ProFootballUpdates.com can easily send more than 200 messages per week. (7 days X 33 mailing lists = 241 messages). Think about the potential, granted this would be only for the NFL season, which is about 5 months. But as you can see, just a few hundred people on each list has massive potential.

I'll be repeating this process for the remaining teams. But the foundation has been set.

Also, I have two minor things for Kirill to work out, then I'll release Godfather to contributors of this forum. By contributing, I mean adding stuff that will help others and not just asking me questions, although that's also encouraged.
