I was checking my web tracker logs and saw a few hits from this page. It looks like I’m nominated on this German website in the category “Most Valuable Business Website”. Although I’ve never heard of this website createordie.de before it’s an honor to be nominated :) I’m there along with some very popular websites.
I’m [...]

If you’re an affiliate for Text Link Ads then you might have gotten an e-mail a few days ago that sounded something like this:
As a Text Link Ads affiliate we’re pleased to let you know that we’ve begun using tinyurl.com to shorten and secure our affiliate referral links. We encourage you to update your affiliate [...]

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. For example, Google doesn’t particularly like when people buy links on high PageRank webpages to [...]

One of the things bloggers strife for is to increase the number of people that are subscribed to their RSS feed. When people subscribe to your RSS feed it’s almost guaranteed that the person will come back to your blog to read new posts – then you’ve turned a one-time visitor into a loyal reader [...]

I was just checking out Technorati’s Top 100 Most Favorited list (maybe Top 99 is more appropriate because now they’re only showing the top 99 blogs, anyways…) and I finally saw my blog there :) I’m #99 because 213 members have made this blog a favorite – I want to thank all those people for [...]

Soon after launching this blog I applied to ReviewMe.

With the recent PageRank update that shows this blog having PR4 I was sure I would get [...]

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 [...]

OK, I’m not going to post about how sorry I am that I haven’t posted on this blog recently, that I’ve been so busy, the days have just flown by and… oh, wait, I just did ;) Oh, well…
I just checked my RSS stats on the FeedBurner widget and it looks like I have 50 [...]
