[...] Overcoming RSS I thought this was rather funny but sadly true — a different kind of RSS. A look at a common affliction among domainers. Thousands of people suffer daily from Repetitive Statistics Syndrome (RSS). RSS is an obsessive compulsive disorder that involves checking revenue statistics from programs such as Google Adsense and domain parking multiple times a day. RSS sufferers know that checking their statistics repeatedly will not increase the final revenue number at the end of the day, but they canâ€™t bring themselves to stop checking stats. This article will discuss RSS and what can be done about it. History of RSS. RSS began with early incarnations of public e-mail services such as AOL and Prodigy. People who were new to e-mail would check their accounts multiple times each hour to make sure they quickly knew if one of their friends had forwarded a funny picture of a cat to them or if they needed to send out a chain letter to 7 people in order to stave off bad luck.

I feel so much better knowing I’m not the only one and that the big drug companies are working on a solution to what ails us. And to think all these years I thought I was increasing my revenue by checking the stats. Are you sure that doesn’t help?

LOL, thanks for the laughs!

I used to do this with all my domains. These days I do it when monitoring new purchases, that have been separated from the “old school” domains. Once you get to a certain point of mass domain ownership it is impossible to keep tabs on all of them on a daily basis anyhow.

Regardless…..I love checking stats ; that will never stop unless my hands give out from the other type of “RSS” – repetititive stress syndrome.
