This is pretty exciting to watch!

by Tim on January 30, 2012

I don't get too excited with the traffic exchange industry, because this rarely happens, but it's happening now. I'm talking about SurfSkeleton!

William has been slowly growing SurfSkeleton for a while now, doing everything right. And the exciting thing is it's starting to really pick up. He's gone from ranking #68 to ranking #37 in 3 weeks!

These rankings are based purely on traffic flow, so its the most unbiased ranking of traffic exchagnes. Rankings are updated every Monday and are free to view! You can thumb up/down an exchange or leave a comment to give user feedback (but it doesn't affect the ranking).

So that means the ranking should be updated today! I'm just excited to see his progress. So much so he ran out of bandwidth a little while back and had to upgrade his hosting. I remember back in the day where exchanges left and right had to deal with growing pains, now it seems many are downgrading rather than upgrading!

Congrats William!

Review of diyVAULT.com

by Tim on January 23, 2012

This is an interesting site. It's a collection of resources on various topics around marketing, sales, etc. You know the stuff small businesses get into.

It looks like the site is mainly trying to get you to buy the various ebooks. There are good topics, I saw one covering how to claim your business on Facebook. Stuff small businesses need to know.

My only problem with the site is the layout feels complicated when in reality it's a straightforward concept. I would definitely simplify the whole thing because I almost stopped viewing the site entirely.

This is a problem many sites have when there is a lot of information available. You want to make everything easily accessible but at the same time keep it simple. Because many of the topics in there are helpful to business owners if they are able to get to it.

Jon Olson, SIT DOWN!

November 26, 2011

I really had a great time watching Larry shop on Black Friday. It was actually funny because Justin thought he wouldn't spend any money but he couldn't resist some of the offers. I mean poinsettias for 99 cents! A few stores later they were selling for $17! (Btw, Thanks guys for getting me to buy [...]

Going to a Parade!

November 11, 2011

I'm a bit excited today, we're going to a Veteran's Day Parade. I'll be honest, this is the first time I'm going to a parade since I was a kid. I thought it was about time for my kids to go. Afterall they recently learned in school that when you see a soldier you should [...]

What's Happening?

October 27, 2011

OK so the guys will tell you that I don't get out much, and it's kind of true. I tend to not be aware of what's going on outside of TimTech. I know for us we are running a Spooktacular Sales Event, and today we're selling AdKreator for a lifetime upgrade. That's insane. But other [...]

I stayed up past midnight!

September 22, 2011

Well that was exciting. I stayed up past midnight to watch the servers come to a screaming hey wait a minute everything was good to go! For the techs out there, don't run all your cron jobs at the same time! It's actually ironic because I thought it was the new servers having issues, but [...]

Thank You

September 18, 2011

WOW. That's all I can say so far. For super servers we're really having a mess of problems! It's been a humbling experience to say the least. But Thank You, to all our supporters out there. From the people in chat letting me know what problems still remain, to all the people posting encouraging messages [...]

An Exhausting Day

September 9, 2011

So today the TimTech guys got together to play extreme airsoft. For those of you who don't know, it's guns that shoot little BB's very fast. We'll have some rather hilarious videos to show later. Well I clearly learned I'm out of shape! We had lunch and basically called it a day. We were going [...]

Jonathan Haynes

June 16, 2011

Another contestant, Jonathan Haynes is actually a personal friend of mine. We went to that trip to DC years ago. I know, "place dropping" is so old right? Anyways.. Jon blogs about photography, history, and even the dreaded politics. What I like is that instead of posting just a photo (like me) he posts a [...]

Why all the Hoopla?

June 11, 2011

So we've been plagued by this silly game called Empire Avenue. It's silly because, well, it's a game. But there are a few reasons why you should be playing: It's fun. OK, you get it, it's a game, we're having fun. You increase followers. Justin has already seen people following him on twitter and subscribing [...]

I'm for Sale

June 9, 2011

OK so I lost my own contest, so I owe those blogging some reviews. They'll be coming sometime soon. But in the mean time, Jon Olson has gotten me into a kinda funny website where you buy stocks of people based on their social impact. So go buy my stock LOL. Is it bad that [...]

Inflating the discourse

May 31, 2011

First, let me confess, I use RhymeZone to come up with really big words to use. Having a crazy title sometimes gets us more excited to read. Second, we've decided to put some attention on NetMarketingForum once again. There has been talk about it dieing, and part of the reason is we made it way [...]

It's a Girl

May 25, 2011

About 24 hours ago our 3rd daughter was born. It was a pretty cool experience. This time my wife hired a doula to help her in the process. A doula is essentially a birth coach that stays with you through labor. They aren't doctors and don't deal with the medical needs in any way. They [...]

If you've subscribed to my blog long, you know I don't do these kinds of things often. If ever? But I figure it's a worthy cause, so here goes. Sigma, a manufacturer of photography equipment is doing a "scholarship contest". Essentially it's one of those get as many votes as you can, and the judges [...]

Preparing for the New Year

December 28, 2010

These past few weeks I've been preparing for the new year, first by building an office and now by coming up with a few cool things to do in the new year. While some people might do something crazy like a Penguin Plunge in Jamestown, I prefer to start the year with more organization. I've [...]
