I just browsed on over to Shoemoney’s page and had the strangest thing happen: his page was gone, and all that displayed was a Dharma initiative logo with a message saying “The Shoemoney Station has officially shut down, thank you for your participation.” There was also a link to the Hanso foundation website.
I can’t help […]

The Top Commentator Experiment

2007 at 5:00am | by Dave

Holding top commentator spots on Shoemoney and John Chow has done wonders for our traffic. We’re getting over 100 visitors a day and growing now. It’s been so successful that we’re on the lookout for other related blogs that we can get top commentator spots on, as well as the two we just mentioned.

I’m writing this on Tuesday evening, and my link has been on the top commentator spot at John Chow’s blog since Sunday evening. I can only find about 18 links from JohnChow.com in our stats, but our traffic has gone up considerably. We usually get (when there are no external factors like a review me […]

2007 at 5:12am | by Jay

Perhaps I’m being overly cynical, but in the past 3 months just about every internet “guru” who has me on their mailing list has sent me an email promoting a product and opened it with either a story about having a new baby, or about a massive family tragedy followed by a few paragraphs of […]

Now, I know I usually write more serious stuff for this blog…but when I came across this, I just HAD to share it with you guys. I could not stop laughing when I saw the page. That’s right, K-Fed has his own search engine now, but wait…there’s more! According to the site: “Every time you […]
