I would call me stupid if I were to assume that everyone at the blogosphere thinks alike over a thing. Yes, differences are inevitable and welcome. If you can learn from the differences, that would be a great habit to keep.
Makes no sense huh? Let me explain.
Last day I wrote an article on How to be a top stumbler in less than a week, and it got mixed response from the blogosphere. Now, this post taught me some lessons from the discussions and reviews it got. The particular post was stumbled…
Recently my hosting provider Platinum-Hosting moved to a Windows based server environment. They did this for a variety of reasons, including cost and marketability (Smaller market but more specialized), but inevitably their current clients (ie. Me) ran into issues with .htaccess.
Rather then moving to a new host, because I’m a partner in Platinum-Hosting and get free service, I needed to find a way to make redirects or “pretty URLS” work.
Backtalk has some ideas using ISAPI_Rewrite, but it still requires a bit more work them I’m interested in doing. I’d prefer something…
Blogs can be a good money maker if monetized properly. Few bloggers try to over-monetize their blog and as a result they lose their readers.

Let’s be honest, here. We all want others to link to us. A good link from a popular blog does several things.

- It supplies a backlink which is important for helping us rank better in search engines
Getting a backlink from a popular blog isn’t easy, however. Thousands of bloggers are clamoring every day to get noticed by the more popular bloggers. So how can you get noticed? I should probably tell you to make intelligent, thoughtful contributions to the blogger’s…
I was lucky enough to get a chance to interview Jim Kukral this week about his new advertising system, Scratchback. Scratchback Beta was launched 3 weeks ago to a select group of bloggers. In very simple terms, signing up to Scratchback allows you to put a TopList widget on your blog. You can sell 5,10,15 or 20 text links in this widget and you can set the weekly price for a link to be displayed in your Top List (or TopSpot as they call it).
If you are looking to compare it to…
Recently there have been a lot of subscriber count inflating scams going around. It seems people are so desperate to boost their perceived value they are willing to display artificial numbers to get it.
Yes, subscriber counts do offer social proof and provide a perception of quality, but they are not a replacement for real authority and valuable content! Certainly not worth paying a dollar per fake subscriber like some services are charging.
