I'm just not going to give up on the CPA stuff. The FTC regs and Visa closing merchant accounts that relied on forced continuity really put the kabosh on any earnings from weight loss programs.

I got the domain ChristmasToys-2009.com which I was a little surprised was still available in October. I'm going to focus on the key words Hot Christmas Toys 2009 for promotion of the home page and then the top 15 toys by name for the inner pages.

I've got squidoo pages and blogger blogs set up for each toy as well. Again I was surprised they're available.

Right now I'm waiting on the articles I'm having ghostwritten.
