What’s Your Favourite Blog Theme or Design?
I’ve got a designer working on a custom WordPress theme for this site, who’s starting tomorrow. The TypoXP Reloaded theme I’ve been using for the last 6-9 months has been a good servant, but I decided over the weekend it’s time for something new. I very quickly cobbled together some wireframes based on [...]
I’ve Earned $150 In My First Week With CashCrate
After signing up with CashCrate last weekend, I’ve already made $150. I’m really amazed by how much I’ve made, particularly as I think a lot of the people I’ve referred are still waiting for the offers they’ve completed to be approved. I’m hoping that in a few months CashCrate will be one of [...]
Don’t Be Afraid To Delete Adsense Units To Make More Money
I’ve seen more evidence this week that Google Adsense Smart Pricing really does exist, where after deleting 50% of my Adsense inventory, rather than my overall earnings falling, the additional revenue I’m making from my remaining units performing has improved so much it has actually lifted my total earnings!
How To See The Feedcount Of Feedburner Sites That Don’t Display It

Why My Adsense Earnings Are Better Than Other Blogs
I got a question via PM yesterday in the forums yesterday where my answer was so long, I decided to cut and paste it and turn it into a post. I’m sure Bush Mackel won’t mind.
Hey Everton,
I had a question regarding your AdSense earnings. You seem to make a lot from them were others [...]
Windows Trick: How To Add Items To Your Windows Explorer Right Click Menu
The Windows Explorer is one of the cornerstones of every Windows operating system as it allows you to take action (copy, paste, cut etc’) on files and folders. A few month ago, I installed a new PC and found myself transferring a trillion of files to the new PC using the Windows Explorer. The thing [...]
PageRank Prediction Tool – How To Check If Your PageRank Is Going To Increase?
I think there’s another Google PageRank update around the corner, so I’ve just plugged my urls into the Google PageRank prediction tool that I’ve found to be fairly accurate. At the moment it’s saying that this blog’s url will stay at PageRank 6, but that my directory (PR5), forum (PR5) and other site (PR4) [...]

Thanks in advance.
Case Study: Aftermath Of Moving A Domain Using 301 Redirects
In the past I’ve toyed with purchasing connectedinternet.com, as I feel that not buying a .com address was my biggest ever blogging mistake. However, the owner asked for a ridiculous amount and now that connectedinternet.co.uk is well established, I doubt that I would benefit from the move.

As predicted in last months MyBlogEarnings, my Adsense income has taken a bit of a hit this month as advertisers start to reduce their spend. So far this month my CTR has remained fairly constant, but my CPM has dipped by a few dollars.

How Much Is Your Domain Name Worth
I spotted a post over on Listikal’s site yesterday discussing a free domain name valuation service from LeapFish.com.
