Some People

2007 at 9:51am | by Jay

Last night, my girlfriend and I sold our townhouse and were finally able to sleep without having the whole selling process hanging over our heads… when we started once again to hear these loud noises coming through the walls.
As a bit of background, about 8 months ago the townhouse attached to our bedroom was […]

LinkMetro is Evil.

2007 at 7:19am | by Dave

In my last post, I mentioned how I pushed to build a large number of sites late last year and how that has got us into trouble now. You’re probably wondering how we did this and the simple answer is LinkMetro.com. Last year, things were a lot different. You could put tiny 50×50 images beside […]

Jay and I are planning our next work day for this Thursday, but it may not work out because he is currently selling his house and showings can pop up at any time.
However, provided no home showings get in the way, we’ll be spending the day working on two fresh new fan sites on clean […]

Google Webmaster Central

2007 at 4:09pm | by Jay

Perhaps I’m out of touch, but this past January I ran across an interesting Google tool called Webmaster Central.

I recently was looking at some of our competition in the celebrity fan site space, and noticed that […]

Easy By Design - ready to go!

2007 at 2:36pm | by Dave

Jay and I did a bunch of wrap up work for our new baby - EBD - this afternoon, and now the site is more or less ready to go. I’m pretty excited about the site…I really believe it will sell itself once the ball is rolling, and we have a small amount of cash […]

Unexpected De-Indexing

2007 at 7:25am | by Jay

An odd thing happened a little while ago, our 3 most used classified ad sites went from page 1 rankings to being entirely de-indexed by Google; some of our celebrity sites I could well understand being de-indexed, but these 3 sites were as pure as newly fallen snow…
I’m still trying to figure out the exact […]

Perhaps you’ve noticed over the last few days that our blog posts have got a lot easier to read (Especially Jason’s). Well we’ve conned bamboozled volunteered been privileged to have the services of our own Grammar Nazi to clean up our atrocious writing.
That would be my wonderful Girlfriend Faith. (Really she was just tearing her […]

We’ve mentioned Tyler Cruz fairly frequently on this blog, he’s even made it on my The Blogs I Read post a while back. Since he’s currently offering a free link for a review of his blog, I figured it’s time to get some backlink love after all the plugs we’ve given him. So here’s a […]

Come on, admit it, secretly we all dream of living off our online income. However, what many of us forget to keep in mind while daydreaming is that unlike traditional forms of brick and mortar industries, unless you are extremely well established, it is very easy to wake up one morning and find your income […]
