Welcome to GuitarToyBox. I hope you enjoyu your stay. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Feel free to comment on anything you see on this site!

Well, the changes are almost complete. I'm still working on a way to add some of the affilliate advertising back in, butto be honest I don't know if i can be bothered just yet. I was getting very little click throughs and and no sales so I don't really care.

And there is the crux of the matter. You see, when I started this blog it was always going to be a personal blog. My thoughts on what I am doing in the world. Self indulgent and proud. But then I stumbled upon an ebook saying how you can use your blog to make money, and I thought why not? There were lots of guitar related products to sell and being a musician I thought what a good way to try and make some money on the side. Well so far, i have made $9 in 4 months. Not worth the effort. this site became like all the other guitar news sites that I don't like reading because there is no personality. The ironic thing is, after all the work I put into getting a Google page rank so I could get more potential sales has finally paid off, and as i write this I have a GPR of 3, and some GPR's of 2 and 1 on sub pages.

So I got bored and eventually decide to rebuild this site. It feels like mine again and I plan on keeping it that way. I'll still post quite a lot of info like I was before, cool guitar gear and videos, but I feel the need to rant, and rant I shall. I apologies to the people who would like this to stay a predominantly news site. Thats not going to happen, but I hope you hang around for the ride.
