Experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you're generally better off sticking with what you know. And the third is that sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make. »» Donald Trump

Who’s That Guy Next To The Blushing Bride?

Posted on November 27, 2007 - Filed Under Reviews | Leave a Comment

Come on, guys, you know what I’m talking about. At least you do if you’re married, or have a very close friend who’s been married. The wedding day is traditionally 100% about the bride. Guys can easily feel like a third wheel at the most important day in their life. But the folx at the Cheyenne Wedding Mall are taking steps to remedy that situation and get men their due on the “big” day. At least that’s the premise of the…

I never expected to see such a great offer from PayPal, but it seems foolish not to take advantage of it. Through Monday, December 10th they’re offering a full 20% rebate (deposited to your PayPal account) for shopping with some major online retailers. We’re not talking about little no-name sites, but the big boys like Barnes & Noble, HP, eBags, and RitzCamera.com. Here’s the most important small print-

1. Offer Description: Eligible customers defined in Section 3 below will receive 20% cash…

PayPerPost Jumps On The Hypocrisy Bandwagon

Posted on November 27, 2007 - Filed Under Blogging, Paid To Write, SEO | Leave a Comment

The war between Google and PayPerPost continues with bloggers continuing to be caught in the middle. I recently wrote about PPP’s new RealRank alternative to Google’s PageRank and also about Google’s latest hypocrisy. Today I came across what sure smells of hypocrisy from Izea’s Founder/CEO Ted Murphy-

RealRank was conceived and introduced before any of this PR upheaval. It wasn’t introduced because people lost their rank, it was introduced to solve an advertising problem. The problem is that PR and traffic have no…

When Parenting Gets Tough

Z and I have had a deal for a little over a month now that in order for her to receive the benefits of all the cool trips and “toys” in the future she would have to earn them. This is because she was becoming spoiled in the literal sense: she honestly felt that she deserved all of the things she was getting simply because she continued to breathe. That’s what she’s essentially been taught for the last 11 years,…

There have been some recent changes that Google have made with regard to sponsored postings.
Smorty would like to offer…
