December 16, 2006

If you've come across this website, expecting another, there seems to be a configuration problem on the site you are trying to access. I am in no way able to "take control" of other websites for any reasons.

Traffic Exchange Advertising Part 4

November 28, 2006

So now I've had about 1000 hits to each splash page, and I have to say the Seabee isn't cutting it. The Seabee is in the middle, and it's the mascot for the Navy Seabees. Most likely nobody surfing knows what it is, so they aren't clicking to buy it. I know now not to [...]

Traffic Exchange Advertising Part 3

November 13, 2006

Alright I've sent 163 hits to my rotator, 121 of them were unique people. Now I'm ready to modify my splash pages based on the results. Not exactly.. 163 hits isn't much, so I should spend some more time on getting more hits. I don't like to make decisions on anything less than 1000 hits, [...]

Ugh. Politics

October 26, 2006

So I'm watching Regis and during the comercial break there were only political advertisements for the people running in RI. There were at least 2 different ads that were "smearing" the same person, and I'm done with these things. In a side note - I've moved to a new server. All the sites I host [...]

Carpal Tunnel AND Tendonitis

October 5, 2006

Well I went to a ligament muscle guy (they give em all weird names). He said that I probably have carpal tunnel and tendonitis. The good news is it isn't bad. It's annoying, but not terrible. I can resume work, but I get to wear a tennis elbow band on each arm and "Smart Gloves" [...]

I've searched the internet and found the following coops: Coop-hits, Doctor Traffic, PageSwirl, Traffic Wholesalers, and Quality Page Views. Do you know [...]
