I’m now using Feedburner to handle the RSS for this blog. In case you did not know Feedburner is a free service that provides some statistic tracking for your RSS feeds, they also have some features that make it easier to get your feed out there. In anycase, I would appreciate it if all current […]

Women in Website Publishing

It is not that women are less capable than men when it comes to technical things like computers, but rather I think they’re less interested in such things. In anycase, Morgan Webb, aside (I gotta put something for the guys in this post), there are very few women in the computers, programming, video game, etc […]

The 1000 Word Page


Bookmark using any bookmark manager!

Of all the million dollar homepage clones out there this one I think has the most merit. Its another stupid idea of course, but a stupid idea with lots of media attention equals lots of traffic. Lee over at forum trends posts that he knows of someone already getting 1000 visitors a day through their […]

Small Publishers Staying Strong

Andrew Johnson posted on his blog that he thinks small publishers will be out of business in 2 years. I don’t think so, not even remotely. The small publisher has an inherent value that no large publisher can match. No or little overhead. To be out of business you’d have to be losing money on […]

Making the tables to CSS switch.


Bookmark using any bookmark manager!

I’ve always thought, as have and still do many others, that regular HTML with tables easily handled any website that I needed to build. I always thought that the 100% CSS crowd was an uppity club, a club that people simply wanted to join because it was the “in” thing to do. My arguments against […]

He started this newsletter called Trafficology.com based on the premise of bribing webmasters for their best traffic generating ideas. He would pay $1350 a month, including $1000 as a top prize, for the best ideas sent to him each […]

We think you may find this survey interesting, and your input will be considered carefully by Yahoo! senior management. Please […]

Tricking Clicks

So I’m sitting with my wife at breakfast and she asked me what I was working on this morning so I told here how I am experimenting with Adsense placement and how I’m testing if there is a performance different when placing a cube to the right of the first paragraph, second paragraph, etc. She […]

Google Testing CPA Ads


Bookmark using any bookmark manager!

Search Engine Roundtable reports Google is testing CPA ads with selective publishers. This could be good if Google is able to negotiate higher rates than what one would get by themself. Also, perhaps Google is using adwords data to figure out which programs to run since so many affiliate programs are promoted through adwords. Of […]

Another One Bites the Dust


Bookmark using any bookmark manager!

You can add my name to the list of people who have been kicked out of YPN for not doing their own geotargetting. As a whole this policy has made Yahoo and YPN look amateurish in front of pretty much the entire webmaster community. They are unwilling to simply filter out international traffic or show […]
