Last month I discussed GoDaddy cashing in on our parked domains. I don’t have a problem with that, but why not fix things up for our own wallets instead (see Who’s Making Money From Your Parked Domains?).
Here’s my update:
I decided to park a few of my domains over at Sedo Domain Parking. This past month [...]
Not only can Google keep its eyes on your surfing and computer habits, but now it’s offering a big ol’ eyeball deep into the bowels of your website - for free.
Google Analytics
Learn how visitors interact with your website and identify the navigational bottlenecks that keep them from completing your conversion goals. Find out how profitable [...]
When a host tells you ‘nah uh - we haven’t changed a thing’ it must be on your end - after your site has been shooting an Internal Server Error 500 for *days* - using the same exact files for *months* without a problem - what the heck do you do
Sometimes [...]
I’ve been looking over Google’s Adsense referral program.
Referrals is a feature of AdSense that allows website publishers to increase their revenue while increasing their users’ awareness of useful products and services. By adding a referral button to a site, publishers can direct users to products like AdSense and Firefox with Google Toolbar. When a referral [...]
I’ve been mucking around with cpanel and database backup scripts for a few months now. I wanted one that emailed a copy of the database, but didn’t leave a copy on the server. I’m sure I’ve tried a dozen scripts and nothing seemed to work for me on *all* servers.
I stumbled across this cpanel [...]
Store all your code snippets in one handy place!
PHP Code Snippet Library
Demo
I’m storing all my php snippets, .htaccess notes, various html bits I want handy, wordpress plugins, you name it - you can store it here. Keep everything stored in its own library and you’ll have no trouble finding what you need.
For example, I have [...]
My goal is pretty simple and long term. It’s not about being super rich, getting fast cash or anything like that, it’s more about having mobility and more options for my family.
Some days I look around at all the adsense cheese sites and all the fast cash that’s being made, and yet I just [...]
Take a good hard look at the reprint and free articles you are uploading to your websites. It seems that’s where many scraper sites are gaining a lot of their inbounds from.
Check all the links in the articles, including the author’s byline. Either I haven’t been paying close enough attention or the scraper sites are [...]
While I was rally driving through the Tim Hortons parking lot at 7 a.m. this morning, I had a ‘Blogger Moment’.
I was driving like a madwoman wanting to lead the pack of 7 vehicles coming from 3 different directions - all trying to position ourselves ahead of each other in the drive thru [...]
Oh what a wicked mess we weave when we click click add stuff to our favorites folders. Here are my latest bookmarks that you may be interested in:

Chitika This and Chitika That - Chitika’s Everywhere!
I still haven’t joined this new earning opportunity, mainly because I don’t have anything online that I feel is a good fit, but no matter where I turn - there’s Chitika! So I’ve made a list to share for those of you who are using this:
Chitika [...]
Take a look at the goody I found:
TaskFreak
It’s free and open source, php/mysql, hosted on your own server (I installed it on my private domain) and is clean, simple and visually appealing.
You can organize your tasks by deadline, by project, by priority, etc., and it’s a snap to use.
You can view the online demo here [...]
Looks like a big Google update is underway, and that includes Google’s Page Rank (that green specky stuff showing in its toolbar). I love PR updates and I won’t apologize for it :???:.
So far my money sites (affiliate product pages) are sitting normal - bunch of 3s and 4s, a couple 2s. This blog seems [...]
Well the Chitika Affiliate Referral Program (not an affiliate link) has launched. Be prepared for the inevitable internet marketer stampede - your email inboxes and blog feeds are about to be assaulted!
The Chitika Affiliate program offers a new referral commission opportunity:
We have now introduced our new Referral Commission Program. Refer your friends for [...]
I love these! I downloaded the free 21 page excerpt from Wordpower 3 - The Copywriter’s Bible (not an affiliate link).
Free Download: Read a 21 page excerpt taken directly from Word Power III, The Sales Writers Thesaurus.
You can review the freebie download and if you like what you see - the ebook is only $25. [...]
Making money with ClickBank is nice - but I really don’t use them all that much. I’m more interested in selling physical products online rather than digital and ebook stuff. However, I enjoy a little mix too :wink:.
I mainly just use this ClickBank Directory here on superaff and on two other domains, as well as [...]
Ok now I really do think this guy is a jerk!
The Rich Jerk is now available for $49.00. Not a great method of impressing your original customers that paid top dollar ($97) right from the start.
I suspect this is because many voiced concerns the product was overpriced (see: Rich Jerk Review).
But.
It could [...]
I think we’ve all been busy bees lately with this new Commission Junction PSA haven’t we :wink:.
Here’s an update of what I’ve done so far:
I’ve gone through each of my websites and evaluated the performance of the CJ links. For those merchants that never performed for me or had too many reversals, YANKED. They’re gone.
For [...]
How many of us have bucketfuls of unused domains?
Well if you do have domains parked at GoDaddy, take a quick visit to one and check it out.
It’s been bastardized!
So here’s a thought. Instead of a domain registrar profiting from your parked domain(s), how about changing things so you profit instead?
Make Money [...]
Maybe most people know this, but I was clueless about one of the whois guard features til the other night. I figure there must be another one or two people who would appreciate knowing this because they missed it too.
When you buy a domain through namecheap.com, they give you free whois guard. That I [...]
I did a hack job going through CJ’s new PSA yesterday, but there’s more thinking to do.
Here’s a thread over at ABW that you should read:
Legal Publisher Notice from Commission Junction
A big item to note:
(b) Charge-backs. An Advertiser may apply, or CJ may apply, a debit to Your Account in an amount equal to [...]
Have you checked your email lately? This arrived yesterday:
The revised PSA that governs your relationship with Commission Junction is effective as of October 20, 2005. It is posted at www.cj.com/psa.jsp for your complete review.
Put your glasses on, cross your eyes and good luck trying to walk your way safely through this new PSA. Here’s the [...]
Who knows if I’ll be able to attend eComXpo for any length of time this week, but I’ll probably pop in and poke around for a bit. I just have the basic limited access pass, so I don’t imagine there’ll be too much for me to participate in - but I’ll give it a shot [...]
I’m gearing up to build a bunch of new sites filled with affiliate products and one thing I’m stumbling on is the networks and merchants to use. With the recent problems Commission Junction has been having, I’m hesitating to build up new sites that depend on that network. Actually any network.
I’m not saying CJ sucks, [...]
I’ve been pretty careful to ensure all of my websites land on a www.domainnameDOTcom or without the www. with just domainnameDOTcom. Not too long ago there were plenty of warnings explaining the importance of having your domain direct to just ONE version, not both.
For some reason I decided to do some random checking on my [...]
