I have a problem. For some reason, I have an inability to keep my mouth shut at times. It’s not that everything I say is “bad” or “inappropriate”. Nah, I’m just a rambler. I talk ALL THE TIME, sometimes about nothing at all. I’m also addicted to caffeine (cappuccino and Dr Pepper). I’m almost always […]
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008Associated Content Results - Week One
Last week I posted about finally discovering Associated Content and my general thoughts on the idea behind it. After putting up a few articles this week, I thought I would share my results.
First off I realized I had to really bulk up most of my articles because they didn’t meet the 400 word minimum. Oops. […]
If Adsense Disappeared, What Would You Do?
For some reason I get a kick out of taking my Google checks to the bank. I always like to see the face of the bank teller when they see my little old name on a check from a very well known company. I guess I feel proud that I’ve “cracked the online code” and […]
Thursday, March 27th, 2008Small Changes Make Big Differences
I’ve been playing around a bit with the format of Idea Queen, trying to increase it’s bottom line over the last week or so. The most traffic comes from the recipe pages, so when I tweek the ads, I usually start there.
There are three ad spaces within the content of each of the recipe pages. […]
Pretty Means Nothing if Nobody is Looking
Over the years I’ve seen some nice looking sites. I’ve seen some pretty bad ones too. In fact, I think I’ve seen more bad than good. Why do you think that is?
Well for one, we know not everyone has an eye for design or has good web designing skills. What one might think is “really […]
Subscribe to Comments Plugin Added
This is a plugin that I’ve wanted to add for some time now. I believe a long time ago when we added a bunch of plugins we added something similar but it didn’t work well :( This one came highly recommended as well as I use it one someone else’s blog often so cross your […]
Thursday, March 20th, 2008Blog Post Challenge
Yes I’m still keeping up with the Be a Better Blogger series over at Lynn’s blog. Although Monday’s post about brainstorming 20 blog posts has tripped me up a bit.
For this particular challenge I’ve been focusing on Idea Queen’s blog. I left 2WAHMs up to Anita because I knew she wanted to join in on […]
But I Did That Already
I’ve gotten in a bit of a rut. I finally caught myself today as I’m reading a really good marketing tip (BBAB Day 7, Guest Blogging) saying “hmmm yeah I already did that….next!”.
Hold on there, back up!
I realized I’m getting a little too smart for my own good. As I flip through useful information I […]
Pictures in Posts
Yes I know we are way past the 2nd lesson in Be a Better Blogger, but I did want to point out how I’m now using images in blog posts.
While I’m having a hard time using images in EVERY post, I have found a way to work them into some. I think the ones I […]
Am I to PRETEND I’m Perfect?
Aren’t I allowed to ask for help? Or am I to pretend I’m perfect?
Long story short, recently I asked for something that could be considered a sales page review.
I did this because - well, not to toot my own horn here but, I have what I truly feel is an excellent information product […]
