Linkbait

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

Linkbait - The Chicken or the Egg?
As with many things in life, trying to figure out how to create great linkbait (content or ideas that attract links from other web sites and blogs) can be difficult and downright confusing. My personal feeling is that you have to believe in your idea and create great […]

Last.fm is the Shizzy

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

I like when I find things online that actually work. Most things are usually someone’s blatant attempt to monetize on someone coming to their site or using their service…which is fine by me. But, it just makes me take notice when I find something that I actually go back and use on my own because […]

Low Payout Affiliate Offers

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

In the past, I have always focused on the mid to high paying affiliate offers. I was never a high volume guy I guess from my experiences with online retail sites I have owned and operated. No matter what you sell, you always have to deal with customer service, so why not make 5 times […]

Wordpress 2.3 Due Out Today - Native Tag Support Yay

Monday, September 24th, 2007

So, I have been hesitant to continue to upgrade Wordpress on this site whenever a new release is out for a number of reasons. I have hacked up a number of the native functions and add-on plugins and since I am such a rookie, I have not made a log of what I have done. […]

Google announced yesterday that their Adsense for mobile browsers is now live. Google has taken notice that mobile browsing is becoming bigger and bigger, when will the big affiliate networks get on board and create some offers? Is this thing on?

Why Do We Link to Technorati?

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

I think I am late in the game on this one, but why have we (read: I) been linking to Technorati for so long? Back in the day, I believe they at least started linking out to other sites. I am sure they got gamed, well, I know they got gamed but, what is the […]

Google Blog Updating Oh My

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

Geez, I just updated one of my blogs and did a search a minute or two later (wasn’t planning on checking, but I will when I post this) and the excerpt below the page title in Google’s SERPs was showing text from the brand new post. That is pretty amazing. I have heard some things […]

bSuite b2 Version 7 Out

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

My favorite Wordpress plugin of all time, bSuite, has a new version out. Casey Bisson’s plugin does it all from making the tags you put inside a simple tag in your post into links, to generating stats on what post are most popular, tracking top search referals (all search referals), where people are commenting, […]

What is Therapy?

Monday, August 20th, 2007

I heard this definition early this morning and I thought it was pretty good:
Therapy is the process where someone helps you say better things about yourself.
Not sure why I like that so much, but I do.

Naming Your Convention - Case Study

Tuesday, December 5th, 2006

Well, this is not going to be much of a case study, but I did just notice something kinda funny. Jeremy named his retreat on December 18th, the Elite Retreat. So, remembering it was coming up, I did a little reading tonight on the Shoemoney site and figured I would see how they are […]

Vegas Twice in a Month?

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006

Well, thanks for all of the people that have been checking in with me via email, IM and the like. Obviously, I have not been posting here much recently and talking about all of the geekery and SEO nonsense. This is not to say thta I am not still working on some SEO stuff, it […]

Penis Platter, Get Your Penis Platter

Call me what you will. But, here is one more reason I don’t want to go to China any time soon. Penis platter anyone? I will take a trip to Tuscany anytime though.

Clean up .htaccess Files to Speed up WordPress

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

Let’s just say that the past 3 or 4 days have been a big learning experience for me.  This is not how I wanted to learn how to administrate linux better, but I guess beggars can’t be choosers. One of the things that has been making me insane lately is how slowly this blog has […]

All Google Atom Feeds

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

I was going to put something like this together for myself and then dump some adsense into it, but I have too much on my plate right now. Plus, I am realizing that I need to do some serious hacking on this Wordpress install to speed things up around here. Anyway, if you want […]

What is My IP?

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006

In an effort to speed up this POS, I have just finished moving the www.golod.com blog over to a different server.  If you are reading this, then you have made it over to the new site. Yippeeee.  I am curious if anyone tried to visit and got some kind of Wordpress DB error message before […]

Google Trusted Host Followup

Tuesday, August 15th, 2006

To follow up on my Google trusted host idea, it looks like that it is not necessary to have “at least one link pointing to your site” as it used to be, to get a website into the Google index. I launched a new subdomain on the golod.com domain that has a Wordpress blog on […]
