Another year older, and a little more foxy
Well, maybe not foxy… but, I am catching on to this Web 2.0 stuff. Today, I actually spent some time working on my Facebook page. I started it a couple years ago, and then got sidetracked. So… Facebook me! I’m really working hard t...
Cindy found something you’re gonna love!
Y’all know it’s my birthday Friday… and Cindy got me (us) a present. You’re gonna love this… it’s the niftiest software I’ve seen in a long time. Have you ever struggled to create a banner, or a 125×125...
Birthday bash all this week!
Yeah, Friday is the really big day. I’m expecting at least one of my sheep to present me with lambs… so I won’t be doing much partying. However… This week only (through Sunday night, March 15) let’s celebrate my 63rd bir...

I’m not a designer… I’m a blogger!
That’s right, I’m not a web designer, but I know that I must erase bad memories… and that includes a very boring web site. So, for the past week, I’ve buried my head and have produced the creatives for a new design. First off,...
Reviving a “dead” traffic exchange
I know, I’ve got to be crazy… Why on earth would I rather take on the daunting task of rebuilding a “dead” traffic exchange than start with a brand new one? I’ve been a “turn-around specialist” all my busine...
Viral Marketing with Twitter
I’ve seen several different programs promoting ways to make Twitter more viral. TweeterGetter looks like the one I’m sticking with. Here’s why… Twitter Is All About Being Transparent And Showing What’s Going On Behind The...
Traffic Exchange: A great way to work from home
Like I said… stay tuned for more info on traffic exchanges. Last spring, Cindy (one of my roommates) and found a traffic exchange that was being put up for sale. We jumped at the opportunity, especially when the current owner was agreeable to p...
Traffic Exchange or Exchange Traffic?
Have you ever used a traffic exchange program? Since it’s no longer proper (not that it ever was) to ask other social bookmarking sites to exchange traffic with stumbles, diggs, etc you may want to consider an “old school” method of...
Do You Squidoo?
No? I just recently began “squidooing” and besides being totally lost… it’s supposed to be dead easy… I’ve been unable to drive any traffic to my lenses (that’s what “they” call a web page). So, ...
Could I hack your blog?
Last week I received a most disturbing post from one of my favorite “guru’s”, Willie Crawford. Here’s what really got to me… A few months ago, I noticed that one of my web servers was crashing every few days. My web ho...
So, how do you like the new look?
I think this is look I’ve wanted for some time. But you, the reader will tell me what you think of it. To help things a long, I have one 125×125 spot on the left sidebar that I’ll award to a random commenter on 12/12/08. I’ve a...
Optimizing Ask Me Why… Work From Home
With several new opportunities coming along that require “side bar” space, I’m working to create the most optimal theme possible. For advertisers, I’m working to place your ads in optimal positions, while still not interferrin...
Whoa! I nearly got blindsided by my own actions…
Yeah, looking back at my last four posts (three weeks time), it appears I’ve been obsessed with Entrecard. Well, yes… I have, but now I’m over it and ready to move forward. No, I’m not leaving Entrecard, I’m simply worki...
More on trying to analyze stats.
After further investigation, I’ve discovered that the internal linking at Entrecard is what is confusing my cPanel as well as Google Analytics. Here’s what I found. The link showing advertising (both cPanel and GA) is http://entrecard.s3....
Not all traffic gets recorded in the same way
I’ve been analyzing my stats. I use multiple ways to look at traffic, who’s visiting, how long are they there, where do they go, etc. Now, this is a very time-consuming process, but I believe it’s the only way I can determine what&#...
Entrecard: I’ve got a plan that will work
After just over two weeks, things are finally coming together for me. I’ve spent countless hours dropping cards, reading other blogs where folks are discussing various Entrecard systems, and analyzing ad results. Here’s what I’ve co...
All about Entrecard… what’s it doing for me
Entrecard, another one of those programs I heard about at least two weeks before I got around to looking at it. I got my first icon up for Shari’s Gone Country on Dec 20, a mere 10 days ago. So far, my I can see from cPanel that I am getting ab...
Looking to 2008…
It’s that time of year when I look forward to the next year. I take the time to analyze what worked this year ( and am therefore keeping), and what has not worked this year. Yes, I give things a few months to show signs of life before moving th...
Chat Netiquette; what’s it to you?
Way back in about 2001, I first coined the words “chat netiquette”. No I didn’t bother to trademark it… I wanted it used. As of today, I googled for the term and came up with over 600,000 references. Many of those are actually...
Capturing my “lost traffic”
Like I said earlier, I had retired. That being said, I still have tons of things circulating about the Internet. I’m talking about things that probably aren’t even valid, today. So, I’ve forced myself to learn a little bit about how...
Now the hard work begins…
With the excitement of a web site launch behind me… yes everything launched on time; it’s now time to get down to the really “hard work”. What’s the hard work? It’s writing great headlines and ad copy. It’s f...
Time for a quick update…
As of this morning (Thanksgiving Day in the US), I have 17 friends at MySpace. The Alexa stats have once again been updated. Current rank is 3,511,258. I have three people on my little mailing list… and they’re about to get a sneak previe...
Check out the Alexa Stat box!
One week later, after inserting this blog into a few traffic exchanges, the Alexa rating has gotten considerably better. At 3,513,077 it’s still a far cry from where it needs to be to do any real good… but it’s on it’s way UP!...
Traffic… how much do I have now, and what am I doing about it
Ok, if you look down the left sidebar, you’ll see I’ve added the “Alexa Traffic” stats. This is THE ONLY site/blog I’ve ever done that. Why did I do it? Well, look at it… 6,194,824 rank. Alexa rank is like your gol...
