I started this blog back in 2005 as more of a personal journal, but it evolved from that into a platform where I can express myself, give business tips, discuss issues, and even make some money. Blogging to me is a lot of fun and it gives me an escape from writing all of the reviews over at ThinkComputers. Also…

With affiliate marketing becoming so popular people are moving away from Google Adsense, but a lot of people are still dependent on it for income and I am one of those people. Since Google decided to screw us on the clickable area it has been harder and harder to make the money we used to. As I said affiliate marketing…

Arbitrage is a word you probably have heard around the blogosphere. So what is it really? Wikipedia explains that arbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of a price differential between two or more markets. So basically you want to capitalize on the imbalance. Still don’t follow? Ok let’s make this easier, say you make a new hockey website with…

If you haven’t noticed when Google does something they usually keep it the same for a long time. Mainly because they usually do things so well they do not need changed. Adsense has been the same for a long time, there have been some minor updates but that’s about it. Well Adsense has rolled out a new ad management system,…

If you didn’t hear about this a while ago you should start to hear a lot about these video units because now they are available to use. It pretty simple to get setup with these new video units. Just login to your Adsense account, click on the Adsense setup tab and scroll down to see the new video units offering….

Website promotion is not always the easiest thing to do. I know that I have had trouble promoting websites in the past. A lot of people who are starting websites do not have a lot of money to work with, and I am the same way. After spending the money on design, coding, and hosting you don’t want to have…

Running your own business is not an easy thing. It is so easy to get off task and even forget the important things you need to do. I have gone through making daily task lists, putting everything into outlook, and even considered getting a PDA. But before I wasted the money on a PDA I found Netvibes. Netvibes is sort…

This week was a great week for ThinkComputers, we posted a review each day of the week (Monday-Friday). Usually we post reviews on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, but we had enough products in that we were able to post reviews on Tuesday and Thursday too. Because of the added content I saw about a 5% increase per day in earnings….

Ok well starting a website or blog is not that easy, but if you follow some simple guidelines you can have a fairly decent website that people will want to come back to. After thinking about all of the steps in creating a website I have come up with three guidelines you should follow if you want your website to…

ThinkGaming has been doing very well. With the exception of today I have been posting at least 2 posts a day. The only reason I didn’t today was because I was working most of the day cleaning out my old apartment. Anyways when I finally switched ThinkGaming over to WordPress I sort of left it how it was. Now since…

Well a lot of people have e-mailed me as well as left comments asking me how much of a traffic boost the digg gave ThinkGaming. Well first off ThinkGaming was barely doing any real traffic, maybe about 100 uniques a day. That is mainly because I haven’t had much time to work on it and it was mostly news posts…

Well if you haven’t noticed ThinkComputers did not post a new review for 5 days! That’s one of the longest times it has gone without new content! The reason for this is that the CPU in my main PC died so I had to wait until new parts came in to work on most of the ThinkComputers content. Now I…

On each of my sites I always wonder how an ad will perform if I put it here instead of the normal placement, or if I change the colors of my Google ads, etc. Well the only way to tell is to test. It is really hard to test these things with a content based site because you know you…

Over the past couple of weeks I have been working on ThinkGaming. It is now running 100% on WordPress! Instead of using a WordPress template and trying to edit it to how I would like it, I actually took ThinkGaming’s original layout and made it fit into WordPress. This took some time, but I think it looks great! So what…

Starting a new website isn’t easy. You have to get a layout designed, code that layout, and of course fill the site with some type of content. After you have that done you need some way of getting people to your website. Promoting a website might be as hard as actually getting a website started. There are tons of ways…
