Thanks gents. I'd like to report that the site (from getting 0 visits) is now at about 40 uniques per day. Interestingly enough, this is almost consistently bringing me a click on adsense every day. Each click is worth around a buck.. so CPC and CTR is doing great! Just a side note - I have a very large adsense area in the sidebar, which floats with the user so that it is always visible.
So, all in all, I have about 15 articles now and just $300 spent on backlinks. I'll be putting down some more money, and putting up articles more aggresively in the next 24hrs - I will definitely post it up here.
