SitePoint, Lawsuits, and Internet Accessibility

So why did SitePoint ask me to stop blogging, stop writing a book for them, and stop moderating their forums? Well I asked them when they did it if it was because of my beliefs or because of something I said and they said no.
However there is speculation that it was done because of [...]

Blogging for Dollars

The September issue for Business 2.0 has an article called Blogging for Dollars that is a semi-decent introduction to the web publishing industry. However they are slightly guilty of one of my pet peeves, which is referring to any independent content site as a blog. Blogs are relatively new, and content sites existed [...]

Forum Upgraded

Just a little announcement. The forum has officially been upgraded to VB 3.5.4.
Also, I’m currently looking for a reliable PHP programmer if you are one or know one. One of the biggest headaches I have when outsourcing work is the slow pace of that work being completed. It doesn’t seem to matter about [...]

Evolution of a Niche

In 2003 when I started this site I noticed a distinct lack of websites catering to website publishers. This was pre-Adsense, advertising rates were just starting to climb back up from their lows, and the industry wasn’t nearly as widely publicized as it is now.
However things changed. Now you’re always seeing stores in the mainstream [...]

Now Using Feedburner for Blog RSS

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, [...]

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 [...]

The Saga of Wayne Yeager & Trafficology

Way back in 2001 one man named Wayne Yeager took the Internet marketing world by storm. 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 [...]

Rolling the Dice

I was asked recently why, if I do this for a living, has my forum signature (where I list most of my sites) not gotten longer by any measure in recent time.
The reason is that there are different methods of going about being a website publisher. You can build many small sites, you can [...]

How’s this for a niche?

Restaurant corn on the cob is always so much better than the stuff I make at home, or the stuff my mom used to make. Determined to find out why I searched on Google for “How to cook corn on the cob” and this website came up second.
This site immediately struck me as useful. [...]
