I’m pretty sure all blog owners want more traffic to their blog – More traffic can mean more sales, more clicks on your ads, new clients, higher advertising rates, etc. I’m always looking for new ways to get more people reading my blog. I’ve written before about Getting More People To Read Your Blog – [...]

As I’ve talked about before I think it’s important to appreciate your readers and give something back. One thing I like to do is to bring special attention to the top commentators of each month – and that’s what this post is all about.
Just ignore the fact that I’m a month late with the July [...]

I like it when people comment on my blog. When people leave comments on blog posts I’m much more motivated to write more posts. It’s also great to get feedback from readers so you know if you’re doing something right. That’s why I think it’s important to give something back to those that keep this [...]

A few weeks ago this blog made it into the Technorati Top 100 and it has stayed there thanks to people continuing to add my blog as a favorite in Technorati. I’ve even climbed up a few places (but gone down again). Well, as always, I’ve been monitoring my web stats and I’ve noticed some [...]

After ignoring Text Link Ads for quite some time I finally decided to give them a try a few months ago. One of the reasons I hadn’t tried them before was because of the controversy about buying/selling links on websites.

Finally! I was just visiting my blog and noticed something new – a green bar on the Live PageRank extension that I have installed on Firefox. Because I launched this blog just after (or around) the previous PageRank update I hadn’t gotten a public PageRank yet. The front page of this blog is now [...]

On the WordPress dashboard (when you’ve logged into your blog) you can see links to recent blog posts and other news regarding WordPress. I was checking out some of the posts and read this post by Lorelle where she says Matt just announced a delay of version 2.2. One thing I noticed was that Lorelle [...]

I’m very interested in viral marketing. It’s just fascinating to see what gets picked up and becomes viral and watching how it grows. You can learn a lot by watching successful viral campaigns, reverse engineering them and trying to figure out what made them viral. One viral campaign that I think went pretty well is [...]

Well, I didn’t win the Wii contest but that’s alright because I won another contest. To enter the contests all I had to do was comment on a post with an idea of how to make money online. I suggested creating a membership site where you add content every month and charge a monthly fee [...]
