TheCarbonBlog Goes Live!

In a bit of shameless self-promotion, I’d like to present to the world TheCarbonBlog!
A few days ago, I had mentioned that I was accepting Vic’s challenge to start some new niche websites and earn a good amount of money in the coming year. This is but the first of three that I fully intend [...]

The Blogs I Visit the Most, and the Blogs I Miss the Most

It’s that time of year again, and everyone is giving their Top 10 lists of the year. Not to be outdone by others, I’ve decided to follow the crowd by presenting a list of my own. However, in keeping with the holiday spirit, I’ll share a little link love with some of the [...]

So Long, Spud

Today is sad day in the blogosphere … Nick (aka Spud Oregon) has decided to pull the plug on Nice4Rice.
Nick started the site six months ago to the day in an effort to promote free backlinks at a time when people were practically offering “favors” in exchange for them.  With his creation of the unique [...]

September Starts With Cash

September means quite a few things to me this year.  My wife’s birthday is in just a few weeks.  I’ve been living in Japan for a full month, now.  And I was lucky enough to win my first contest … ever.

How Would You Like to Win … A NEW CAR!?!?

Text doesn’t really give the subject the right “umph”, as I was trying to do a take on Charlie’s exciting exclaimation from Price is Right.  But the prize is still valid, though.
Prija (a.k.a. the Sneaky Bastard) is running perhaps the most expensive contest ever held on the blogosphere, with the grand prize being a brand [...]

The Blogging Tip Meme

So many link exchanges have been going on lately, and I’ve been a bit behind the ball with my upcoming move to Japan.  But after being tagged by Ms. Danielle, I’ll certainly take part in this one started by Bob Buskirk.

Blogging the Movie’s Contest Jet Train

There’s no stopping the Sneaky Bastard’s internet marketing campaigns over at CashForComments.com, where you can get paid for comments.  After a minor setback on his site promoting a new movie about blogging, he’s back up and running and actively canvassing for ten bloggers around the world to share their stories.

Blogging the Movie

Just when it seems that there’s been a movie made about everything, the Sneaky Bastard makes public his intentions to film a movie about 10 bloggers.
I’m not sure what it is about this idea, but I have this strange sense of excitement about it.  Perhaps it’s because I will actually be able to relate to [...]

A Fortnight of ViralTags

Two weeks have passed since this site took part in Jimmy Huen’s ViralTags campaign, and I thought this would be a prime opportunity to examine the results of this Google PR and Technorati booster.
Because I had hopped on the bandwagon early in the campaign, this site was successfully linked from 200 unique sites.  Not only [...]
