I signed up for Google’s new Ad Manager about a month ago and received my invitation to join the program last week. I finally got around to playing with it tonight and have to say that I’m pretty impressed. All of the ads on this site are now set up with Ad Manager [...]

I came across a pretty interesting site today that shows how important links are to your site (just in case you think that they aren’t). I’m not going to reveal the site here because it is not one of my own or one of my clients, so you’ll just have to trust me that [...]

One theory that I have is that success can come from stupid things. Take this for instance:
Get your own Mclovin ID
The mclovin id maker* is a dumb idea. It’s definitely something my wife would think is stupid. However, it is also a fairly popular idea, and as you may know, [...]

I used to use inventory.overture.com for all of my keyword research but lately the service always times out for me. It is either dead, unsupported, or just blasted by so many requests that it can’t handle it.

I was kind of in an odd mood this week and I thought it would be a fun experiment to try to rank for an odd keyword. I’m pretty much an seo n00b, so I thought this experiment would help me bit to find out what works when trying to rank for a keyword. [...]

That’s right, Adsense sucks — at least it does on this blog anyway. I’m sure that others are doing very well with it, but on this blog, the ads are not targeted very well, and no one clicks on them. I’m thinking that the readers of this blog are like me and are [...]

I just about crapped my pants yesterday when I went to my blog on Alexa and saw…a graph!! In the last three months this site has seen some pretty good growth, but I was still surprised to see a graph since this site is not in the top 100,000 yet. The “Not in [...]
