How High Should I Set My Goals?

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

Unfortunately a high number of home based business start ups are given up on by their owners before they are even given a fair chance. As a matter of fact it’s proven that the number of failures surpasses by a huge rate that of successes. Why is that? The number of factors is large and [...]

An Update To “Domain Names - A Profitable Business”

Monday, January 29th, 2007

Whoever said that life is a never ending learning process must have been a very wise man (or woman)!
A couple of days back I wrote a post about domain squatting (what it’s about, a bit about how it’s done, how it can affect you and how important it is that you don’t disregard your [...]

I Don’t Know What To Write About Anymore. What Can I Do?

Friday, January 26th, 2007

It happens to anyone. You have a blog; you get paid by others to write articles for them; you write your own articles for your site (to please the search engines with your content rich web site). Whatever the case, every now and then you come to a point where you run out of ideas. [...]

How Much Is Your Web Site Worth?

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

I ran accross a fun tool. Based on the number of incoming links you have it decides the value (in dollars) of your web site. Needless to say it doesn’t have much of a value for any serious web master. The real value of any web site is measured through many more factors than the [...]

“Make $25-$75/Hour By Completing Surveys In Your Spare Time” or What’s The Story With Paid Surveys?

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

I found a thread on the forum from whydowork.com called “Don’t fall for survey scams”.
There’s 3 main ideas that come out of the discussion (a very short one as a matter of fact):

Most of the paid surveys web sites you see are nothing but a huge list of sites that will actually send you surveys.
You [...]

Mitch has a list of 10 tips to help you choose your domain name. The ones I never really thought about are number 6 and 7:
6. Purchase Spelling Mistakes
7. Get the “You Suck” Domains

If you read his post you’ll see that both Gooogle.com and Gooooogle.com actually take you to Google’s home page. Note that the [...]

What If Everyone Starts Working From Home?

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

Have you ever asked yourself this question?
It crossed my mind a couple of times.
I found a first version when I was browsing a forum dedicated to a certain HYIP (I’ll talk about HYIPs some other time). At that time almost everyone was very happy with its performance. Of course it all came to an end [...]

Check Your Web Site In Various Browsers

Friday, January 19th, 2007

It’s sometimes hard to believe that there may be folks who use a different browser than ourselves. But it’s the reality.
And if every browser would have the same way of showing the same piece of code it would not be a problem at all. In most cases it’s not the correct coding that poses a [...]

Use Little Things to Make Your Customers Comfortable

SouthWest Airlines - funny little guys.
I’m not much of a flyer (twice in my life). One of them was a couple of weeks ago. I flew SouthWest to Florida.
A few odd things (as I thought at the beginning) happened. First the three flight attendants seemed as if they were on vacation (doing their job, but [...]

Wednesday, January 17th, 2007

Before you know it, it will be all over the net: Google changed it’s TOS yet one more time. And God forbid things are getting any easier for us.
So what is it this time:
Basically, you can’t run (on any page of your web site) AdSense ads that can be mistaken with other ads, whether from [...]
