So…. You have 2, 200, 2,000 domains and you’d rather have websites on your Internet properties because you want them indexed in search engines and you want to drive traffic to those websites (unlike parked domains where you can’t even link to one), right? You don’t want to pay a penny in monthly hosting, right? You don’t want to pay a web developer $250 (or higher) to build you a single website, right? Did I mention you don’t want to spend any time producing relevant content for those... Read Full Story

I just saw this…. UNBELIEVABLE! I’ll set the stage…. GoDaddy has a new mini-site product out called “Quick Content” amongst others. People (some domainers) are trying to compare it to other mini-site providers like Devhub and Whypark (fat chance). Seems you have to pay to be part of GoDaddy’s “Cash Parking” program first, then pay another $50 a year to have them throw up some content on your domain you have parked at GoDaddy. Now get this - here’s the  GoDaddy Quick Content TOS Link... Read Full Story

A lil’ story about the Bidvertiser Advertiser program, the opposite of their Publisher program. I saw a free $20 coupon so I signed up a while ago (last year) and finally used the coupon for $20 in free traffic. Things were sailing along, I had set my max bid to .05 and figured out how to get around the $5 a day minimum so I set that at a buck a day. No problem - in the middle of the 18th day (over a month ago), I paused the account, and paused all further advertising. I left $1.50 or... Read Full Story

Domain Parking Companies. Who’s the Best? Part II For the next few parts of the series, we’re gonna’ stick to the companies I mentioned in Part I - Parked.com, TrafficZ, Sedo, NameDrive and Bodis. I have many other observations on some parking companies not listed above (and the reasons why I don’t use them anymore) saved for later posts in the series, maybe Part VIII. lol Let’s get with it, I’ll kick off Part II with my observations on Parked.com. Parked.com uses a couple different ad... Read Full Story

Domain Parking Companies. Who’s the Best? Part I I’ll start by saying this three part “partial” review is only on the companies that I utilize. Even though there are many domain Parking Companies out in cyber land, this article will only address the ones I know firsthand and use - Parked, Sedo, NameDrive, Bodis and TrafficZ. My review is not intended to be the “facts” or “Gospel” on Domain Parking Companies, it’s not intended to throw anybody under a bus or raise them to “Rockstar” status... Read Full Story

OK, so I’ve had a Verizon phone for years and a Verizon Blackberry the last year plus…. I’ve also had a $175 a month cell phone bill. $99 a month unlimited calls, add Internet/text messages plus taxes and it comes to about $175 a month, every month. I use anywhere up to about 6,000 minutes a month. So to be sure I didn’t get caught with my pants down on overages, I went for the unlimited plan when that came out a year ago or so. Kinda’ pissed me off that I was on a 6,000 minute plan for... Read Full Story

Ever want to show your post comments on the front page of your Wordpress Blog? You know, the actual main page of you Blog, not some deep url nobody will ever remember? Well, with this simple modification to your index. php file found in your current theme directory - you can. Now mind you, if you have a lot of comments, this isn’t for you.  Why?  Because in that case your front page may run down a mile or two of page view with 50 comments. Presently for me, that’s not an issue... Read Full Story

There’s a bunch of thoughts on the Internet about the use (or non use) of meta tags for your website, these are some of mine. It’s a given that many SEO experts claim you don’t need meta tags anymore the way search engines spider and index a site.  There’s some truth to that, but in world of all things (websites) created equally, why wouldn’t you use them to help separate your site from the millions you’re competing with?  Used properly, they surely can’t hurt , only help your rankings...

Soooo, picking up where I left off in Part I. My weight went from 276 to 205 - I opened up my new motorcycle rental shop.  I was working 20 hours a day getting that put together and when we finally did get it open (May, 2007) I was beat down in everyway.  The burnout video with Master Bike Builder Paul Yaffe (Discovery Channel) on the sidebar was taken at that party.  Went from Lumpy to Limpy LOL.  Old Grizzly Adams (Dan Haggerty) thought I had cancer.  If you look close at the video...

In a nutshell…. I worked 7 years in odd jobs from driving semi’s to becoming a Nuclear Material Transportation Coordinator and Supervisor of Trucking at a well known former weapons plant near Denver, Colorado.  Climbed around, handled, counted, transported, carried, etc. radioactive contaminated shit for every one of those workdays. 6 years after I left ” Rocky Flats “, I woke late February 2007 a healthy 276 lbs with just under a 450 lb. bench press, 2 short months later - 205 and...
