Maximising traffic from one of my sites to another?

Hello,

I have two sites, one has very high levels of traffic, but gets VERY low CPM because of the content. The other site has very low traffic but gets a very high CPM because the content is great... Is it possible to use the traffic from the low CPM site to feed the advertisements on the high CPM site...?

I.E using an iframe to display the ads from the low traffic site onto the high traffic site... or can advertising agencies find this very quickly?

If they have an RSS feed, you may be able to use that.

However, if you intend to copy their entire article and attribute the source to them is no different than reprinting every NYTimes article (when NYT charges for the archives). Be prepared to have your host provider shut down your account if the authors pursue copyrighted material issues.

If you are using articles from an articles directory, that's a different story.

Another Good Critic Gone

This post is getting out later than it should but I wanted to take a moment to point out the field has lost yet another first class music critic. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette music critic Andrew Druckenbrod said his official goodbye on 6/23/13 with reflection on his 13 years with the paper and words of advice about unnecessarily conservative programming at the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.

Andrew authored a wonderful contribution for the 2007 Take A Friend To The Orchestra program where he did a wonderful job at pulling the veil of elitism away to show just how easy it is to find ways to make classical music important in your life and then share it with others (but under your terms).

Communicating with Andrew was always a treat; whether it was general shop-talk or something official for the Post-Gazette, his preparedness was matched only by his remarkable ability to be the most up-beat, yet realistic, music critics I’ve had the pleasure to get to know over the years.

Fortunately, Andrew isn’t leaving the field entirely; he’s going back to school to finish an MBA and going into nonprofit consulting (break a leg!). Let’s hope he won’t be too much of a stranger.

"I hear that every time you show up to work with an orchestra, people get fired." Those were the first words out of an executive's mouth after her board chair introduced us. That executive is now a dear colleague and friend but the day that consulting contract began with her orchestra, she was convinced I was a hatchet-man brought in by the board to clean house. I understand where the trepidation comes from as a great deal of my consulting and technology provider work for arts organizations involves due diligence, separating fact from fiction, interpreting spin, as well as performance review and oversight. So yes, sometimes that work results in one or two individuals "aggressively embracing career change" but far more often than not, it reinforces and clarifies exactly what works and why. In short, it doesn't matter if you know where all the bodies are buried if you can't keep your own clients out of the ground, and I'm fortunate enough to say that for more than 15 years, I've done exactly that for groups of all budget size from Qatar to Kathmandu. For fun, I write a daily blog about the orchestra business, provide a platform for arts insiders to speak their mind, keep track of what people in this business get paid, help write a satirical cartoon about orchestra life, and love a good coffee drink.

Illinois Credit Rating Takes Another Hit After Pension Non-Action

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — A major credit rating agency has soured on the economic forecast for Illinois after another failed attempt this week to rectify the $96 billion pension system deficit.

Fitch Ratings announced Friday that it has relabeled Illinois' financial outlook to "negative" from "stable."

The outlook does not affect Fitch's opinion of the state's credit worthiness, still listed as "A." That's two steps below the grade for the best-quality borrowers – sound, but reflective of a climate where state finances are vulnerable to economic changes.

The announcement serves as an advance warning to Illinois that a downgrade could be on the horizon unless it resolves the gaping difference between its pension system's assets and what it will eventually owe state employee retirees.

"It's important that our bond-rating agencies give us as much time as possible in order to stabilize the pension system," Gov. Pat Quinn told reporters Friday at a stop Friday in Bedford Park, about 14 miles southwest of Chicago.

Now, the Democrat and former high school distance runner compares the pension quest to a marathon.

Quinn had declared a pension-reform deadline of Jan. 9, the end of the last legislative term, anticipating negative responses from credit agencies. He said that deadline was set because Fitch and other agencies were "poised to take a look at us and we want to tell our legislators this is not a time to run in place. This is time to get the job done for the people back home."

A downgrade from "A" could mean a higher interest rate to borrow money. The state typically borrows money for big items such as construction projects by selling bonds backed by promised future tax revenue. But decades of underfunding the pension system means that to catch up, Illinois must put up nearly one-third of its general revenue annually, putting a squeeze on money for services such as education and health care.

"Failure to enact pension reforms will eventually bring Illinois to its financial breaking point, and it will be worse than any fiscal calamity we have seen thus far in this state," Republican Treasurer Dan Rutherford said in a statement.

The latest attempt at pension repair fizzled in the final hours of the legislative session on Tuesday. The plan would have required larger contributions from state employees and reduced eventual retirement benefits, but top House lawmakers had agreed to temporarily set aside the Republican-opposed idea of shifting the employers' portion of contributions for teachers to local school districts.

Fitch noted that the negative outlook could "be resolved after an assessment of the extent to which the state takes action within the next six months that limits the impact of pension payments on the budget."

Fitch is one of three agencies that monitor state finances and grades ability to repay debt, and its change in outlook matches the "negative" labels the other two – Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's – laid on the state last year.
