PlugIM gets a lot of traffic from fellow Pligg site owners and by far the number one request I get is for our Google Adsense Revenue Sharing Mod.  Up until recently I only had the mod available for Pligg version 7.2 because that’s what PlugIM runs on.  However, since I’ve been working on upgrading PlugIM, I finally have the mod available for 8.2 as well.
 
I posted it on the Pligg forums here: PlugIM’s Google Adsense Revnue Sharing Mod for Pligg Beta 8.2
 
If you have any questions, please post them in that thread and I’ll be sure to get back to you as soon as possible.

Digg is a beast.  About a week ago, PlugIM was mentioned in a comment to a story posted on Digg and as a result we just completed our most successful week ever.  For the week starting October 8th we had over 900 visitors who viewed over 3300 pages and our 3 month average traffic rank on Alexa has gone up to 75,801.  I know that may not seem astronomical, but for a site that launched just six weeks ago with no advertising budget to speak of, it’s by far surpassed my expectations.
 
The reason I’m throwing out these stats isn’t just to pat ourselves on the back.  It’s to give you (the potential PlugIM community member) the information you need to make an educated decision.  Joining a Web 2.0 site where users generate the content is a time investment.  Granted it only takes a few minutes to create an account and post your internet marketing material but in this day and age, every minute counts.  I want you to see that the time you spend here is well worth it.
 
Expect to see a few changes to PlugIM soon.  Last week, Pligg (the script we use to run PlugIM) released beta version 8.  We’re currently running on a heavily modified version of beta 7 which is why we can’t just instantly upgrade.  We have to carefully merge our modified code with the changes in beta 8 but expect those changes to be rolled out shortly.  There are some great new features as well as enhanced security and all around stability of the code.

PlugIM.com runs on Pligg CMS which just released beta version 8 and the story made the front page of Digg. If you check out the Digg link you’ll notice PlugIM made the list of “most popular/best looking Pligg sites” in the first comment under the story. As a result, we’re currently getting tons of traffic. From the story on Digg:

“Pligg, the widely used open source “Digg-like” CMS, released its long anticipated Beta 8 today. Pligg’s dynamic structure allows users to quickly and effortlessly install and customize their sites. Pligg acts as a framework for many successful sites such as VH1’s Best Week Ever and VideoSift. The community currently consists of over 2,151 members.”
