Move Over Alexa, Here Comes IZEARanks
The problem with web metrics provided by Alexa and Compete is that their numbers are totally dependent on what they gather from users who are using their Firefox and Internet Explorer toolbars.

Switched To Kontera From Intellitxt
As part of my blog spring cleaning I have just switched from Intellitxt to Kontera for in-line adverts. Intellitxt has been a good servant in the past making around $60 a day, but for the last month or so I’ve only been making around $11/day.

The main reason I went to CES was to see what new innovations and wonderful technologies would be gracing my home over the next year. Sadly, much of CES appeared to be a ‘lot of the same’, but there were some saving graces. Let’s take a look at some of the more promising [...]

The 2008 1st quarter pagerank update’s winding up. Many siteowners found that their rankings didn’t improve- I’m one of them despite seeing site linking and human traffic triple since last December.
Six blackhat friends of mine, on the other hand, are crowing. They have taken relatively new sites from PR 3 to PR6. One leapt from [...]
