So, we started this blog back in December…but why?

I’ll have to admit,  I was quite skeptical of the whole webcam idea originally…but it has been working out pretty well despite my original misgivings.

Articles for Broke

2007 at 7:02am | by Jay

One age old technique for building up back links is article distribution, however I honestly think it’s time to take article writing and syndication out back behind the shed and whack it over the head with a shovel.
That’s not to say article writing and distribution is entirely useless however in its most common form (hiring […]
