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 […]

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 […]

Ok, I singed up for a mobile web / WAP affiliate network today called AdMob. It was painless as are most affiliate signups, but here is what is not painless. AdMob has a checkbox to email you when a new advertiser has been approved to run ads on your mobile site. I thought it […]

In a clear sign that the “American Way” is to defer payments, American Airlines now has a Buy Now, Pay Later scheme for purchasing airline tickets. I thought you could only do that on a couch or television purchase.

Looks like Google is trying out a new lime green adsense background on their search results page for the top sponsored links. I actually like it quite a bit. It stands out, but is not too in your face. I am sure they are going to see a pretty nice bump in click throughs for […]

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 […]

Well, I am not sure that paradox is the right word to use, but I was just looking at some rankings in the DP Keyword Tool and had to laugh. You see, I have not really worked at getting anything to rank for anything in the past 3 to 6 months. Well, I mean to […]

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 […]

Getting back into the guerrilla marketing game in the offline world has been pretty fun. I really do like the mix of online / offline marketing. I guess that is simply because I have learned so much in the past few years of focusing back on the online marketing game. But, now it is time […]

I decided yesterday to sell a large number of domains that I have had parked for a long time and have .edu links pointing to them among others. Most of these domains are currently showing PR up to PR6. Some do not show PR, but get a new cache date every few days. These […]

Well, if you read this junk pile every so often, you know I have been messing around with Craig’s List lately. At this point, I want to buy Craig’s List. I am pretty shocked at how quickly and how well some of my postings are ranking in the SERPs. It is pretty ridiculous. […]

In case anyone cares, Craigslist appears to update around every 15 minutes for the sections that I am monitoring. It does not happen exactly on the 15’s, but it is pretty close.

Well, since J-Money has been getting everyone and their mothers excited about spending money via CPC companies to generate traffic. I decided to share something that will probably make the biggest difference in how Google places your ads. I know that most people are probably using some kind of ad generation tools to create […]

I guess the question is, who doesn’t like string bikinis? No matter, a friend of mine in Malibu needs a little help with her website. I am sure you won’t mind linking to her site or even visiting it for that matter. She runs the best bikini shop in Malibu (update: she no longer has […]

Anyone have a script that can autopost to Craig’s List? I was searching on some of the project / programmer posting sites and it looks like most everyone is interested in selling you data submission services rather that building a script that can circumvent the Craig’s List CAPTCHA. IF you have a script that […]

I have not really felt that Commission Junction, aka CJ, was very good. I think that they were the first to really understand that affiliate marketing was something that any brand and business could buy into. However, at some point, they threw in the towel. I remember when I first really got into affiliate marketing […]

When setting up your blog or improving your blog setup, here is a good tip for you. Well, it might be more of a pet peave to me, but be sure that the post date is included prominently at the top of your post. It is not as important when you are writing about […]

Not that I really care about all of the BS “Google Doesn’t Care About Click Fraud!” posts that have been circulating over the past month or so, but I did just read a response to Google’s click fraud report filed by the independent 3rd party who investigated Google’s efforts to prevent click fraud in the […]

Ok, so I am getting back into the swing of things this week. Been studying to re-establish my California real estate license for the past couple of weeks…more on that later. I was just poking around Google Sitemaps a bit (hey Google, how about an easier URL for the damn thing…maybe sitemaps.google.com?) and noticed […]

Well, it was a fun ride, but I think it is time that everyone is going to have to come back to the basics here pretty soon. I have been running the Coop on a bunch of sites since its inception and I think those days are coming to an end. I suspect […]
