Click Fraudsters & Wiccan Retribution

Since the BusinessWeek article came out several days ago, it seems the ’spies’ that are reporting incentivized parked domains are seeing a bit more success getting stuff shut down when they report them. The ringleaders aren’t too happy about it all though, and one is shouting out threats of Wiccan Retribution:
I HOPE YOU LAUGH SO [...]

What Are Your Motivators?

Staying motivated is a big piece of the puzzle to keep things going for yourself online. At one time money was my trigger. Seeing a nice juicy commish pop into my affiliate account got the juices flowing but good.
I still enjoy watching the money tally rise day after day, but I’ve sorta outgrown that. Now [...]

I’d like to go a layer deeper now and try to stop blog [...]

BusinessWeek: Click Fraud - The Dark Side Of Advertising

Free Flowchart Software

When a plan or project I’m working on just doesn’t come together in my head, sometimes I like to do some visual brainstorming to tighten things up for myself. Tried a few different options for flowchart software that were either too clunky, too complicated for my taste or stored oneline (not fond of that). Many [...]
