The Debate Over .edu and .gov Links

I don’t pretend to be an SEO guru because I’m far far away from that trophy. But I have been following the debate over .edu and .gov links with some interest.
For those not in the know, here’s the scoop. Some links (inbounds) are far more valuable than others. A link from a texas holdem poker [...]

What Motivates Your Visitors?

I had a note asking me what I mean when I talk about ‘content sites’ vs. sites built around affiliate products. It’s a good question and I’ll tell you what the method to my madness is and why I feel there’s a big difference in results for both.
There are various types of websites you can [...]

Affiliate Commissions Continue Upward

Ok everybody–hold your breath! Cross your fingers! And whisper quietly for the next three days [[pretty please]].
Last month (March) I had my highest earnings for aff commissions. Sweet! And to show me it wasn’t a fluke–this month is *teetering* on the same dollar line.

I’ve tried plenty of things to keep my notes and resources organized, searchable and right at my finger tips:
Blog software
Forum software
TreePad
Note Pad
Personal Wiki Software
