Dave and Jay - Crazy Web Entrepreneurs

After about a month, I figured it was time to make our separation public. No doubt you have already noticed that since mid-May I haven’t really been posting very frequently on the blog - this started out as me being busy with moving, but once things settled down, I took a long hard look at […]

Hello everyone! It’s your favorite guest blogger here.
As Dave has excitedly shared already, we are going the SES Toronto in about 7 days time. I have to admit I’m not as pumped up about the event as Dave ,but it does look interesting and I am grateful to the show organizers for giving us both […]

This isn’t exactly cutting edge theory, but it’s something often overlooked, especially by new entrepreneurs: it’s called the 80/20 rule.
What is it?
Well, the idea is that 80% of your profits will come from 20% of your work. This generally applies to offline and online business in surprisingly similar ways, and it’s also why Dave and […]

It’s been a few weeks since I posted my last update on our 2 latest fan sites; to be honest they were a few very unproductive weeks, but I think Dave and I have turned the corner so to speak. We’ve started running on a schedule of 2 work sessions per week, averaging 2-3 hours […]

One problem we’ve discovered since moving beyond static - almost spammy - sites was that updating mass amounts of sites is both boring and time consuming. While we make a list of sites and look to them for news on a semi regular basis, in our niche visitors want news updated as it happens and […]

Awhile back I posted that my girlfriend and I had sold our little townhouse and that I was disgusted with the properties coming across our radar, however this past weekend we were able to finally finalize the purchase of a new home in Milton, Ontario.
The process was quite agonizing, but our real estate agent Jorie […]

It’s been a few weeks now since we first heard about a new tactic being used over at John Chow’s blog; the tactic is pretty simple: you create a review about a product (the product must also have an affiliate program), and then link out to your various blog posts when possible.
Once you have the […]

Adsense publishers have been asking themselves this question for a long, long, time now, and I just came across something that may finally give us a clue.
Apparently the owner of PlentyOfFish.com, Markus, came across a teleconference recording in which a prominent publisher, Bill Battelle, discussed details of his deal with Google.
