How can a guy who has no life be so busy?

The question for the ages. :D

Actually I’ve been working behind the scenes trying to boost my traffic levels (with less than stellar success I might add), and also working to get another ad network going to fill my ad spaces. I’m actually amazed by the income ratio I’m seeing so far. If it continues to hold, my eCPM would be around $10, meaning for every 1000 pageviews…..

I HATE TAGS

Whoever thought tags was a wonderful idea for blogging and everything else on the internet should be shot, strung up, skinned, then burned alive.

It’s getting to that I can’t even talk on the phone anymore without thinking up tags to describe the conversation I’m having.

You know, back in the days before dweebie sites like Technorati existed, I used to actually have fun blogging. And then I discovered a few…..

Yeah I Know

My server is having a temper tantrum here, so if you’re subscribing to my feed you may have seen a few duplicate and wonky posts lately. Sorry about that. Stupid stupid stupid WordPress. It’s like my own blog is conspiring to keep me from blogging here. :throwpc:

Goodbye World!

Well maybe.

It all depends on how the upgrades go tomorrow. My hosting provider (Hostgator) is upgrading all their servers to PHP5 and MySQL5, meaning one of two things could happen: either I’m fretting over nothing and the upgrades will go smoothly, leaving my precious blog relatively unscathed. Or…

Why I’ll Never Be An Affiliate Marketer

Based on my observations on how people make money online, one of the largest streams of income tend to come from affiliate marketing. I figured if I was ever going to make a living off the Internet myself, most of my attention and efforts would have to focus on generating commissions for affiliate programs I participate in.

After dabbling in this industry on and off for the past few months, I…..

Scratchback Scratches Back

Recently I emailed some feedback to Jimmy Kukral (the developer of Scratchback) after testing out his widget on my site. When it comes to using widgets I like to use IFrames whenever I can in order to prevent them from bogging my site down, just in case the servers running the widgets crap out for whatever reason. Anyone who’s ever used a Twitter widget knows exactly…..
