Ok, just a question about keeping track of all your sites, usernames, passwords, plugins, versions of software, passwords for affiliate programs etc... I purchased 50 new names today and am putting sites up, so it brings me to about 80 sites total that I manage. Starting to be quite a bit.

I'm using Excel right now to track it all. Anyone using anything better?
 


How do you mean track it? I have around 100 now, but as i have my own dedi's its kinda easy to manage them. But do you mean AM sites? Where your tracking sales etc?

No not tracking sales, although if anyone has any info on those I would love to hear that as well.

Mainly things such as your ftp password/usernames, word press username passwords, database names/passwords, etc.

The best way is to just keep your username and passwords relative across all things, most of my user names and passwords are similar to each other so I can easily remember them all.

As for keeping track of 100+ MFA sites well thats another story, I don't know how some of these guys can keep track of 500 sites they've got out there, I mean seriously if each one of those sites have Adsense on them do you make 500 channels to track click through rates on each one or do you group most together, 5 channels each representing 100 sites?.
 
Smash,

Have you tried Roboform? which can be very useful in dealing with a multitude of Online usernames and passwords.


Aequitas,

I noticed an story on Digg today that covers a lot of useful Adsense stuff in terms of Tools and stuff. Browsing through this article leads you to certain tools that can track your Adsense channels and earnings in a convenient manor.

I haven't tried any of them but am planning to do - to make the oversight much more convenient and also to log possible offending IP addresses that show click bomb behavior and to have supporting evidence in case of being unrightfully banned from the Adsense program.
 
Ah, well with me, due to no cpanel, i can bind an ftp account to a directory and manage everything through that. My mysql passwords i only need to access when im programing, and then i simply look through the code until i find it

Yeah, its a great tool. Although it may pass your price point, it is worth every penny in the long run (as I have found out) ;)

Yup I'm sure I'll end up with it or write something myself. It would be nice to have ALL stats and info in one place including traffic, revenue, etc. But I only have 170 domains right now. None with any actual value yet I'm sure.
 
I use to spend more time trying to remember and or figure out my passwords and usernames for the gazillion forums and sites i belong to, that i barely got anything done. Basically i use roboform. The free version sucks, because it is only good on 10 sites. The paid version ($20) is the one i have and it's a godsend, it's for unlimited sites. Basically it works like this, everytime i register someplace new, it stores by encryption my username and password, and all i have to remember is a masterpassword. It's very simple and i do feel safe with it. I would NOT be able to do jack on the web if i didn't have it.

I use the open office spreadsheets and I print them out and back up to CD regularly - you don't want to have your hard drive fuck up and not be able to access your sites or not even remember what you own.
 
I have a customized page on my computer with form-fields that take the domain of the site I am logging into, my master password (twice) and makes a md5-hash out of it and cuts it down to 10 chars. Nice and easy and unique passwords for each site. Plus I only have to remember 1 password.

There's several implementations of this. I like my adaptation of it because I know exactly what's being done to generate the password and can replicate it in practically any system with an md5 function.

If anybody is interested I could clean the code up a bit and post it.
