I recently received an email from a reader on the topic of networking and advertising. In essence, she wanted to know the best method for networking with other freelance writers and getting the word out about her new blog.
I prefaced my response by saying that I’m probably not the best person to ask about [...]

DoFollow vs NoFollow Backlinks
Crystal brought up a good question the other day and I didn’t have the answer. So I thought I’d do a little research, write about what I found and post it here. We both (Crystal and I) would love to hear your thoughts on DoFollow and NoFollow backlinks.
Before I go into DoFollow and [...]
KerPlunk – Dropping Google AdSense Earnings
I was wondering what I did wrong, but then I realized, it wasn’t me, it was Google.
I’ve noticed that my AdSense earnings across the board have dropped quite a bit since last November. Part of the reason for the drop is that the traffic to one of my sites has dropped by about 50% [...]
I’ve Put it Off Long Enough
I’ve been putting off domain name transfers for the past 6 months or so. I just didn’t want to take the time to do the research and paperwork. Here’s my issue:
My blogs and websites are hosted by Host Gator. I love their service and their up time. I’ve had very little issue [...]
Write It and Forget It
When it comes to writing for the web, I’ve taken on the mindset of write it and forget it. Unlike writing for print publications, the web provides immediate and permanent feedback in the form of comments.
Just about every online newspaper, content site and blog (of course), allow readers to voice their opinion about what [...]
Here’s One for Working Smarter
As most of you know, I’m a statistics junkie (there, I admitted it). I’ve cut back on the amount of statistics I track because I found that stat tracking could be a full time job.
That being said, I inadvertently ran an experiment. The experiment solidified my belief that it’s so much better to [...]
Let’s Get Rid of Those Dreaded Belly Fat Ads!
Over the past week or so I had been watching my Google AdSense income for one of my sites slowly decline. First it was barely noticeable until finally, the ad revenue reached an all time low. The drop was so severe I had to check to see if my website was [...]

Water or the Internet
What would you do if someone held a gun to your head and shouted, “Give me your water or your internet?” Which would you hand over?
Sounds silly, but this weekend I had the opportunity to test it out.
Last week I discovered a leaking pipe in the basement. Apparently it had been leaking for quite [...]
Confessions of a Non Twitterer
I had resisted signing up for a Twitter account when I first heard about Twitter. I couldn’t see a reason for Twittering.
Over time, I acquiesced and signed up. I checked out a few Twitter services and set up Tweet Later, automated my RSS feed through Twitter and maybe a couple of other things. [...]
Playing with Tiny URL’s
Sometimes when I’m supposed to be working, I’m not. As part of my goof off time, I ended up on the other side of the internet. I can’t say how I got there, but I ended up at TinyUrl.com.
If you have twittered or tweeted, you’re familiar with tiny URLs. Since Twitterers [...]
