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 work [...]

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 still online. I navigated [...]

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 can only insert [...]

Into Each Life a Little Rain…

The past three days were a bit of an online challenge for me. A bored ne’er do well decided to test the security on my blogs. Apparently this person had a pretty good time inserting links for one of the well known male enhancement drugs (I hesitate to use such words on this blog for [...]

Working Smarter to Enjoy Google Favor

Recently I tried an unscientific experiment. I wrote three articles all targeting the same keywords. Although the keywords were the same, each article was unique, approaching the topic from a different angle. I then decided to place one article on Suite 101, one on HubPages and one on eHow.

Jack of all trades, master of…

As a freelance writer, I find that I am a jack of all trades and a master of very few. Part of becoming a successful writer is the ability to do research, digest information and spit it out in your own way with your own flair. How well one does this can be a double-edged [...]
