CJ’s Cool New Graphs

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

Not that anyone really cares about CJ these days too much, but they did institute some cool new graphs recently. Now you can check out performance of a particular offer over different time periods. I would put up a picture, but I need to go soak in some really hot water as my lower [...]

Google Returning to Pre-DP Coop Levels?

Tuesday, June 20th, 2006

I might be on crack, but it looks like Google might have made it back to some pre-DP coop ranking levels for a couple of sites that I have. I have been running coop on these sites since its inception and have not changed how they do much (except for adding a few terms here [...]

Cingular 8125 Battery Woes

Monday, June 19th, 2006

I have to say, this whole Cingular 8125 battery deal is starting to piss me off a bit. For the second time, my 8125 will not charge. It is really nice to have a phone that not only smokes a battery, as far as “talk time” goes, but also ends up killing the battery [...]

Spammin’ and Jammin’

Thursday, June 15th, 2006

I like that phrase. Apparently, some other jokers do too. I just got my little Spam Karma report for yesterday for golod.com and there were 110 comment spams caught since this same time yesterday. That is some serious spam yo. I have to say, if you have a WordPress blog, Spam [...]

Google - The Biggest Adserver in the World?

Tuesday, May 9th, 2006

I remember the first time I heard the word Google. I was in New York, heading out to my parent’s house on Fire Island…yeah, you know, where all of the gay people are. Anyway, a friend of mine was talking to someone else and he mentioned Google. At the time I was running [...]

Google’s Boo Hoo Hoo

Tuesday, May 2nd, 2006

In between all of the updates on his flight training, Jeremy Zawodny writes some pretty funny stuff. I am going to have to introduce myself to him at SES in August, provided he is there and let him know I appreciate his humor. A lot has been said about Google’s complaining over Microsoft’s use of [...]

Bloglines Package Tracking

Monday, May 1st, 2006

Ok, my brain is pretty fried right now. We are less than 21 days from my wedding and I am having trouble focusing on anything for more than about 10 seconds. But, one thing I really don’t understand is why the heck I would want to track a package using Bloglines. Of all of the [...]

Google Updates - Are We Back on the 30 Day Cycle?

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

Are we back on the Google 30-day plan? Seems to me that Google has been doing a much better job of updating their index in the past month-and-a-half. I am almost constantly seeing some kind of change in toolbar PageRank somewhere in our network as well as major updates in page counts for individual [...]

Yahoo Index Update

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

Yahoo! is reporting a new Yahoo! index update this morning. According to the blurb on their blog, they are and will be coming more frequently due to improvements Yahoo has made in their indexing system. I guess I need to do some more work on the sites ’cause I didn’t see more thant one [...]

Arbitrage Primer and Math Fun

Thursday, April 6th, 2006

Ok, I have to say that I think Graywolf is probably one of the best SEO/Webmaster/Marketing bloggers or writers on the internet today. I have a few “how-to” posts that I have been working on, but can’t seem to find the time to finish. Graywolf has been pumping out some of the best content [...]

How Good is Your Password

Tuesday, April 4th, 2006

Worried that someone might guess the passwords you use on your computer or to protect other accounts accessable over the internet. Maybe you will think twice about how good your password really is after reading this article.

Adsense Text vs. Image vs. CPC vs. CPM

Friday, March 31st, 2006

Good little blurb on the Adsense Blog this morning about CPM ads vs. CPC ads vs. Text ads vs. Image ads. Cleared up some of the common myths associated with these different ad types with regards to Adsense.

Domain Name Plays

Thursday, March 30th, 2006

Lots of people out there looking to make it rich with domain names. While I think there is still money to be made spec’ing domain names, it is definitely not like it was back in the old days. I regsitered testyourself.com many years back to do “something” with. One day a guy offered me [...]

Big Brother *IS* Watching

Wednesday, March 29th, 2006

Well, just in case you thought that the Google + Yahoo! and MSN Search Department of Justice Subpoenas were isolated cases…Informationweek apparently found out they weren’t. Looks like they were not just going after search logs, but potentially attempting to correlate that information from ISPs and internet access providers. Sweet.
Matt Cutts pointed this out [...]

MSN Ad Center Sign-Up

Friday, March 24th, 2006

You can sign up for free and without an invitation for MSN’s new AdCenter PPC service until 6pm today. Just be sure that you don’t show up trying to use FireFox, ’cause for some reason MSN Adcenter’s login system doesn’t support it.

An Offer I Can’t Refuse

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006

I am sure a few of you got this email this morning from NextStudent, a CJ affiliate for Student Consolidation Loans. I am not sure how the hell they propose to track this “new program” that they are “offering”but, it sounds like one hell of a deal for affiliates:
Click on image for full size [...]

Microsoft Streets and Trips 2006

Thursday, March 16th, 2006

Ok, so yesterday my new little USB GPS receiver shows up and of course I go into full geek mode. I pulled out the IBM X20 (the best thin-client laptop platform ever made IMHO) and plugged it in. I fired up MS AutoRoute 2006 and once I configured the GPS receiver with the software [...]

Shoemoney Does DMCA

Tuesday, March 14th, 2006

Shoe is at it again and this time he does a great interview with ChrisR (Webmasterworld mod) about the DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act) and how it can affect publishers. A ton of great information and I think J-money hit it out of the park on his first real podcast. Check it out.

New Look for Microsoft’s Live.com

Thursday, March 9th, 2006

Well, if your search engine is not that good, you may as well make it look pretty. Microsoft has put a new look on their, now, default IE home page at live.com. Niall Kennedy blogged about this today and I have to say it looks pretty slick. I am a big fan of clean, [...]

Google Says Adsense Margins to be Squeezed in 2006

Wednesday, March 8th, 2006

Jensense just put out a great write-up about Google’s forecast of smaller margins for Adsense in 2006. I am not going to try and add anything to this, you should simply go and read it for yourself. I am not sure that it is going to come as a total surprise to anyone, [...]
