The SEO Song, Yea I Was REALLY Bored
2007-12-29 22:55:51
What happens when you get bored of fixing alignments in posts after you transfer you blog? You start humming nonsensical music from Otis while thinking of SEO tags for each page. The result? I recommend you cover your ears. Sung to the tune of ‘What a Wonderful World‘ by Sam Cooke. I don’t know much [...] ...

New Site Almost is Up - I Already Hate GoDaddy

Well the new blog site is coming up, and it was a little bit of a headache to import all the posts over. I’ll be spending the next few days rearranging things, fixing the spacing, minor coding, and adding back more widgets onto the blog. I’m wondering if I should just redirect everyone to that [...] ...

Microsoft Complaining About Google’s Monopoly
2007-12-26 20:14:00
Techcrunch had already posted an article about Google, and Doubleclick merging a few days ago. Normally I wouldn’t post about stuff like that, but I came across an interesting response on Slashdot regarding it. Apparently the former Monopoly wannabe Microsoft is complaining about Google’s monopolization in the advertising sector. That post can [...] ...

Today's Winner - Also What's up With Alexa Today? Google PR Update Incoming?
2007-12-23 23:39:58
Anyone know whats going on with the Alexa ratings lately? I've been running about the same traffic for the last two weeks or so, but yesterday my daily Alexa rank dropped to 69,000. Today I'm sitting at about 89,000, like I said all with the same amount of traffic. This makes me wonder how many people with the Alexa tool bars does it actually take to break the top 100,000 level. Apparently less than 150 visitors a day, because that was yesterday's visitor count.When I was receiving closer to 300 visitors a day earlier this month posting about the Van Dame commercial, the rating didn't even show up in the top 100k. I guess the people who play World of Warcraft don't use the Alexa bar that much, and many of the Entrecard users do.Also there's been some worry over at the Digital Point forums regarding Google de-indexing many sites. One thread I read had their site traffic drop from 50k - 20kday. Many of these same threads popped up back in September about a month before Google upda ...

Took a While, but I Finally Hit 20,000 World of Warcraft Gold
2007-12-22 05:24:47
It took a little longer than I thought to reach this next goal, but I finally managed to reach 20,000 gold again in World of Warcraft. Real life work has me burnt out by the time I get home so I don't even log in for the 30-45 minutes daily to rack this amount up. The Season 3 patch was quite a big sales day which raised the World of Warcraft auction house prices by quite a bit. The prices of some items have still not come back down since that patch was released, so that's great for people playing the auction houses. With school/college out there will be more people playing, so a greater demand of goods to be sold this winter break. Back at the end of October I had hit 14,000 before Sparter increased its commissions. I was thinking with the commission rates doubling to 20% the gold rates would go back up to compensate. However if you look at this widget below you'll notice, that the Warcraft gold to dollar rate has been steadily decreasing. You can click on the full graph link to ...

I had first heard about it while returning a dropped card from Buzz Bop. I left a comment there joking about how long it was going to take before I get hit with it. Low and behold a few hours later I get tagged by that very meme from Alan. I found it funny that Colin also had that same experience happen to him the day before it looks like.Alan didn't post the instructions so I'll pull them from the Buzz Bop post that I saw it on.

16 Free Blog Reviews to Raise Your Presence and Authority
2007-12-19 20:08:03
No I'm not doing blog reviews, and I don't think I ever will. Regardless of how much money you can make via doing blog reviews via Review Me, Smorty or other venues. I won't even mention the name of one, due to the fact that some people got hit with a Page Rank penalty for even mentioning their company. I'm not one to give professional advice on how a site should look or what it should change. However there are a good amount of sites that do all this, and currently for free. Some may require a link back others not. Check out their other reviews to see if its right for you.While the best way to get your site linked to is to write quality content. Sometimes you want that extra exposure or specific keyword to rank in.These sites are sorted by their current page rank.PR 4 - BlogsweluvPR 3 - Free Blog ReviewsPR 3 - Blog A Day - Link back requiredPR 3 - Our Blog ReviewPR 0 - Siyab's BlogPR 0 - Untwisted VortexPR 0 - Shh I'm BloggingPR 0 - The Weblog ReviewPR 0 - OpTempoPR 0 - Looking ...

WoW Commercial: Jean-Claude Van Damn Plays a Mage
2007-12-18 22:39:06
Yup first the Mr. T Warcraft commercial, and William Shatner. Now we got Jean-Cleade Van Damme entering the scene. So without much further ado here is the commercial, and oh yea, its in French only.What's he saying? Here's the translated transcript from an ign blog.“My name is Jean-Claude Van Damme… and I am a mage.” “Hand-to-hand combat for me: it's over!” “Now I can cast powerful spells!” “Just try messing with me… I’ll turn you into a sheep.” “A sheep!” “…Because we all are a bit like sheep, you know...” “I am Jean-Claude Van Damme, I am a mage. “And you?” "What’s your game?" Looks like Blizzard is advertising to Europe's World of Warcraft gamers with this one. They also released a Guillermo 'Willy' Toledo Paladin commercial. I've never heard of the guy either, but I guess he's a popular Spaniard romance movie guy. That would explain the night elf wooing him in the commercial.Update 12/18: Mini-Me is also a mage. Check post her ...

Verne Troyer aka Mini Me - Also a WoW Mage

So in the Mr T WoW commercial post I had, I mentioned that Verne Troyer aka Mini-Me was supposed to be coming out with a World of Warcraft Commercial. Well its here folks. Like the Van Damme commercial, Mini-Me goes with a mage. Somehow I would have though it would have been funny to be a Tauren or Draenai that's a large body race. Yet the Gnome in the commercial fits him pretty well.[You Tube Link][Have posts e-mailed to you by signing up to Mitch at Money News] ...

Sweet I Earned Money From Squidoo
2007-12-13 08:31:02
Remember back in October I wrote about making two pages on Squidoo? Well I just wanted to post an update since I logged in recently just to check how things have been going with those pages.I had a nice big rush of traffic from Google at the beginning since it was a newly created page, and then the SERP went down slowly no visitors a day after about two weeks or so. That's the Google engine for you, giving new engines good ranking for a day or so after release. Then sticking it into the infamous sandbox. I don't blame them though, the site only has nine back links so I'm still surprised that its even getting hits at the moment. Anyways it looks like Yahoo finally indexed the page recently, and I'm seeing a steady steam of visitors daily from that search engine now for the keyword free 3d mmorpg. The other one I have for Team Fortress due to all the clan sites, and gaming site promotions isn't fairing well. This stream of people looks like its also pushing the Squidoo rankings bac ...

Lets Pay Scrapers More - Making Money Online Blogs Just Moved to You Tube
2007-12-11 08:27:09
We all know that people copy videos, and then upload them to You Tube. Why? So they can put a link to their site for some of the traffic. While they(Google) have tried to keep this down to a minimum, it still occurs on a massive level. The last Mr T commercial for example has 400 of them. When a popular video is released, people download them, and then upload them to You Tube to get some hits. While this is great in making some video advertising viral. It does mean it gets abuse with people ripping off other peoples work. Now the people who upload someone else's content will get paid even more.Anyways guess what You Tube just announced a partner program that will let You Tube users get paid for people watching their videos. They haven't yet released how this was going to happen yet though the TechCrunch article seems to mention adsense ads from the You Tube site. I think they will start making the embedded videos more like the video adsense ads or the Metacafe videos that po ...
