URL shorteners like bit.ly and tinyurl.com are great, particularly if you are active on social media. They are also great for tracking how much traffic any particular link generates as well as other cool statistics like what country the visitors are from. The problem I see with using such URL shortening services is that they [...]

Out of Misfortune Comes Revitalization

March 17, 2009

My internet has been out of service for two weeks due to hardware failure by the company that maintains the phone lines. I eventually figured out how to use my cell phone as a modem, but it’s dialup speed and has a cap of a few hundred megabytes, so I can only access essential information. [...]

Review of Ewen Chia’s “How I Made My First Million on the Internet and How You Can Too”

February 20, 2009

This book is Ewen Chia’s highly anticipated autobiography. I have been privileged to read it ahead of the book launch. In it, Ewen details exactly how he went from being broke to earning over one million dollars per year. Interesting, you may say, but why spend money on it, given these uncertain times? That’s exactly [...]

Understanding Taguchi Testing for Internet Marketing

April 16, 2008

I am currently trying to get my head around Taguchi multivariate testing. If you haven’t heard of it before, it’s a mathematical way of testing many different elements of (in this instance) a web page or an adwords ad.

Adwords Mistake

October 23, 2006

I have run Google AdWords campaigns for quite a while, so you would think this wouldn’t happen to me… I was testing various things: conversion, average cost per click, positioning, traffic, etc on the Adwords interface. I thought I would be clever and not cancel the ad campaign I was working on. Instead, I left [...]

September 12, 2006

I just purchased a new tool to help me with article marketing. It is called Instant Article Submitter. Basically, I was looking for a program that would automatically submit my articles to the top directories. I have to say – this program is amazing. I used it last night and am very pleased with the [...]
