Google PageRank Update

It looks as though the eagerly awaited (at least by some!) Google event has set the webmaster forums adance, namely the Google PageRank export. Yesterday, I noticed an apparent change in the exported PR of one of my blogs. As it is relatively new (coupled with the fact that I have yet to start promoting [...]

How to turn 100K email addresses in to $30K

I’m not one to condone any form of illegal activity, but recently I was browsing an internet forum where individuals were talking about the sale of large lists of active email addresses. Why, I wondered, would anyone want such a list? Perhaps to send out unsolicited advertising of a product? To send out other unsolicited [...]

Two laptops, HP or Dell?

I’ve never been a strong advocate of laptops until recently.  Until a month ago, unless an individual had an extremely compelling reason not to do so, I would always recommend buying a desktop for the same money as it usually bought you more.  Previous generations of laptops were notorious for being out of date the instant [...]

Changing plans and focus for this blog

For the last few months, I have been overwhelmed with other ventures and issues pertinent to my impending move to the extent that I have neglected this blog entirely.  Although I founded this blog on a particular precept that has now expired, I plan to continue this blog as a general MMO (making money online) [...]

Target for April remains an increase of about [...]

Goals for 2008

As we get going again (and in order to facilitate a distinct feeling of deja-vu), here are my goals for this blog project for the coming year. 
i.  Report on making $25 000.  Yes, the final target remains the same, folks.  Although I set this as my target some four months since at the commencement of [...]

Back After a Three Month Hiatus

Well, I caught a quite severe dose of Real-Life® which led to a near three month hiatus in my online endeavours.  During this time, I was not completely away from the ’net but much of my efforts when on the computer were spent elsewhere (I have a few small developments to report on – perhaps in [...]

A Small Update

Just a small update detailing what I have been up to the past few days.  The proxies are running well, and AdBrite is comfortably installed on the proxied pages.  Daily returns from AdSense seem to fluctuate markedly while AdBrite’s are consistent, even showing a slight upward trend as daily page impressions increase.
Other real-world endeavours have encroached a [...]

Under Starter’s Orders…. And They’re Off!

Since my last brief dispatch, I have been working like a Trojan in order to get some sites up and running for the commencement of this informal challenge.  I figured I should have a little passive income trickling in from the outset for two main reasons.  First, the psychological boost of seeing some immediate return [...]
