Hollywood Just Doesn’t Seem to Care

By admin On March 9, 2008 2 Comments

This is completely off topic (well, maybe not completely), but I have been looking forward to the movie 10,000 BC for a while now.  I love big, epic movies like it (Gladiator being my favorite) and look forward to the 1 or 2 that are released each year.

Well the reviews are in and 10,000 BC has some of the most negative reviews I’ve read.  I don’t always put faith in critics, but this tone around this movie is so overwhelmingly negative I think I am going to pass on it.  I might as well capitalize on the travesty of a movie.  Checkout these 10,000 BC Reviews

Theme Finalized - Case Study Coming Soon…

By admin On February 21, 2008 No Comments

I finally decided on a theme and will stick with it indefinitely, or at least for a couple of years.  During the transition the loading time for my site increased drastically.  I believe the slow down was a result of the “Theme Test Drive” plugin that I installed.  This site appears to be loading fast for me now.  What about you?  Is it loading decent for you?

Things are really picking up for me now.  I have sites less than 2 weeks old receiving 15-25 uniques per day already.  That actually motivates me more then a small commission check here and there, because as traffic builds so will my income.  Over the course of the next week I plan to start a case study (all blogs need case studies right?) where I will be promoting 1 CPA offer.  This offer is in a pretty competitive niche overall, but thanks to very targeted long-tail keywords I do believe I can easily rank #1 for the primary keyword which should lead to people that are actually interested in the offer.   Also, the domain is old, has almost 100 backlinks already and is directly related to the niche so I should not experience any issue with Google’s infamous sandbox.  This is my first experience promoting a CPA offer and I have chosen to stick with what I know (SEO/Organic Traffic) instead of PPC.  I certainly have an interest in learning PPC, but at this time I am more focused on achieving my short term goal of making enough monthly to pay my mortgage.  The deadline for this goal is December 31, 2008 and I am about 10% of the way there.

This is all for now.

Regards,

Chris

I need a 3 Column Theme - Which One Do You like Best

By admin On February 19, 2008 2 Comments

Well after running the 2 column theme I have had for a couple of months I started to realize that I need 3 columns. I have searched and found 2 that I like. Obviously I will create a header for whichever one I decide on so take that into consideration when you tell me your pick.

1. Xplosive - Which you can see here.
2. Cleaker 2.1 - You can see it in action here.

So, which do you like?

Officially done upgrading Wordpress, can’t do it without screwing things up

By admin On January 9, 2008 No Comments

Every time I logged into my blog over the past 2 weeks I have been hit with a warning message that I need to upgrade to the new version of Wordpress. Well I unforuntately decided to do it last night and things went awry.

Thankfully I now know how to backup my blog and have set it up to backup weekly.
