I gave away free advertising last month to celebrate this blog’s one year anniversary. Now that the free advertisting for the winners has expired I finally have some space to sell. Alex has already picked up the first slot and as you can see by glancing to the right side of your browser there are still more slots available which you can purchase for $20 by clicking here.

My good friend Hyder who not only designed this blog, but happened to win the 468 x 60 ad during the last contest received enough traffic last month to warrant renewing the [...] Continue Reading…

What criteria do you look at when deciding what type of forum you should start? I’m sure you’ve heard many other people recommend that you should start a forum based on a topic that interests you. The logic if obvious, if you don’t really care about the forum topic(s) than how can you set about creating a successful forum? I agree with this reasoning and even wrote about this a while ago. However, what can you do when the topic that interests you is not a profitable niche?

How I Chose My Niche

I logged into my blog’s control panel today to do a little work on some upcoming posts and the first thing I noticed was that my Feedburner count showed only 66 RSS readers which is about half of the normal count. Now I know that half of my readers did not decide they don’t like my blog anymore and unsubscribed to my feed so I set out to find the problem. I started with looking at other bloggers feedburner subscription counts and sure enough many were significantly lower than their previous numbers as well so I moved on and [...] Continue Reading…

I wrote about the SEOBook Training program a few months ago and have been a member for 3 months now. The training program usually costs me $50 a month (it is now up to $100 a month) and I think it’s worth this price however, I don’t think it’s worth $167.63 a month. Let me explain:

The subscription to the training program automatically deducts $50 a month from my Paypal account every month on the same day. So when I did a withdrawl from my Paypal account for most of my balance I made a mistake and only left about [...] Continue Reading…

This if the first full month that I’ve offered advertising on my blog and although I haven’t implemented all of the tactics I plan to use to maximize my earnings I did manage to make some money last month. Here is the earnings breakdown below:

Private Ad Sales: $75
Sponsored Reviews: $50
DealDotCom: $2.63

Total: $127.63

By no means is this a large sum and it’s humorous that I posted the $2.63 from DealDotCom, but it’s a start towards my $1,000 a month goal by the end of this year. As I mentioned earlier there are still several ways I plan to increase the [...] Continue Reading…

I’ve held this post as a draft for a couple days because I didn’t want to announce the page rank update too early, but the flucutations between page ranks seem to have steadied out finally so I think it’s safe to announce it now. I’ve seen page rank updates accross all of my websites and the flucuations have just been back and forth between the old rank and the new rank, so even if it’s not done fluctuating I believe it’s safe to say the new ranks I’ve seen will stick around.

The good news is that with this update [...] Continue Reading…

For those of you working any significant amount of time on the web I urge you to purchase a second monitor. I’ve been doing most of the work for my blog on my laptop while I ride the train, but I have several other projects I’ve wanted to start that will take much more than the time I have on my daily commute. With that in mind, I finally purchased a second monitor that is basically the same as my old monitor (i.e. same screen size and max resolution) but a newer model number.

I never really bothered purchasing the [...] Continue Reading…
