I posted a few months ago about the trouble I had with PayPerPost. For whatever reason, I was not getting any emails from them so I was unable to verify my account. I don’t know if this was caused by my ISP in New Zealand but now that I’m back in the UK everything seems fine.

To make things sweeter I got an email today from PayPerPost entitled ‘Try PayPerPost on us!’.

Dear Kevin,

I have noticed that you created a PayPerPost Advertiser account but never deposited any funds to create an Opportunity…

A week or so ago I posted about my experience with paid reviews. In the post I talked about how much traffic John Chow sent me when I got Blogging Tips reviewed there, I called this traffic jump ‘The John Chow Effect’. I think John liked the term as he posted about it a few days later detailing how websites who have been reviewed on John Chow have received similar traffic jumps.

Whilst checking some back links on Technorati a few days ago I came across this page. This website had…

I wrote yesterday’s CoComment post directly after my post about product reviews. I published the product reviews post right away however I held the CoComment post back a day.

I posted some pics from my travels last week. All of my friends know what I do for a living and I pre-warned most of them that there would be a chance their pic could end up on my site but posting the pics still made me think a little about the privacy of people I know.

Respecting other people’s privacy is not a major concern for me with Blogging Tips because it’s not something I will post about. I have created a personal category so that I can post about…

I stumbled upon a new site today which aims to make the process of commentating on blogs quicker and easier. The site is called CoComment and after familiarising myself with it for an hour or so my initial impressions of the service are overwhelmingly positive.

In short, CoComment lets you track all of the comments you have made in one place. It essentially removes the need to request updates to a blog post as you can stay updated through them.

How to use CoComment

I think it’s easier to explain exactly what the site does…

Some say it is a volatile field, some say it’s vast and ever evolving, some say it’s damn boring!
With all these differences in opinion, there are some common myths that i found in the groups. Unanimous they were but interesting. Let’s check!

- SEO’s get it done overnight.
Many think that SEO is a set of rules if done over night - will get you traffic overnight.
No. SEO is an experiment with some predictable results and some unpredictables, that if done in a methodical, systematic way are likely to give you favorable…
