I used to accept advertising on this site, and it was kind of nice. I’d make a few bucks each month for a banner or a few links sprinkled in the sidebar, and nobody complained. The common arguments potential advertisers give are “it’s really not that noticeable” or “why not make some money for your writing?”. The truth is, when it comes to working really hard towards something, every little bit matters. When I redesigned this site a year ago, I spent months poring over many different iterations, and built the theme from the ground up. (Well, almost ground up. I used the Thesis theme framework. And yes, if you click that link it *could* make m...

If you’ll remember, we talked about how the Internet is going through a rough patch, with content farms are springing up and creating one-off bits of Internet scrap that rank highly for dinky keywords. It’s a game of quantity versus quality. This is called the relying on the “Long Tail“, or getting all those shoddy pages to rank highly for non-competitive keywords. The Long Tail For those of you who don’t know what this mythical Long Tail is, it’s a term coined by Chris Anderson of Wired. Anderson’s book The Long Tail was meant to show that businesses like Amazon were making tons of money selling tiny amounts of tons of products. Smart people have already pointed out that the l...

In fact, it’s origins come from magazines. Go peruse the local magazine rack and you’ll find tons of helpful articles like “10 Ways to Lose 20 Pounds” all over the shelves. People have argued that things like bullet points, breaking up text into tiny paragraphs, obligatory number in the title, and tons of other factors. I have made (and still do to some extent) a good portion of my income writing list posts for various websites and the truth is this: lists work for grabbing attention. Always have, and always will.

It’s estimated that Robert Scoble spent over 2,555 hours on Friendfeed and Twitter in 2008, which is way more than a normal full-time job (2,000 hours). Photo by Thomas Hawk Robert has essentially worked a full-time job with overtime for these two companies, pro bono. And don’t kid yourself into thinking that he’s the only one either. But here’s the kicker: people like Mr. Scoble spend a lot unhealthy amounts of time building up profiles on sites they don’t even own.

Deactivating Akismet. Previously, I was getting at least 200 spam comments per day. I had to scan them one-by-one because some comments were filtered as spam by Akismet. Out of frustration, I deactivated the plugin with thoughts of completely avoiding these spam messages. True enough, I have not received spam comments since then. Note: Do not delete Akismet from the plugins directory because you’re blog may experience another spam flood. 2. Install a spam blocking plugin. Currently I am using Matriphe Keycode, one of the best anti spam plugins I’ve ever used.
