Philaahzophy Review Contest Results

Posted on November 19, 2007 - Filed Under Blogging, Contests | 1 Comment

Well, my review contest ended Saturday at midnight. Unfortunately, I received far more listings on contest sites then I did actual reviews. I’m not really sure what it takes to get people to review a blog these days, but apparently the chance at a $25 or $50 prize simply wasn’t it. Or maybe all the good writers were stuck in alcohol rehab for the last month (cause writers are stereotyped as alcoholics, get it?). I suppose I shouldn’t say “all” as…

BlogRush Finally “Caught” Me!

Part of the Adventures In BlogRushing Series - Previous in series Next in series

Well, it only took 2 months, four posts here at Philaahzophy, a couple of Blog Carnivals, BlogRush themselves syndicating one of the aforementioned posts, at least two emails from people “reporting” me, BlogRush’s crack team of hot shot in house reviewers, and those very posts being Dugg, and StumbledUpon repeatedly for BlogRush to finally realize I only had their widget on my site for less…

While it’s been a tough week to be a Postie (thanks to so many PayPerPost users being GoogleSmacked), it’s been a great week to be a carny!

The Market Reacts To Google’s Insanity

Posted on November 16, 2007 - Filed Under Blogging, Webmastering | 5 Comments

Anyone with even a quarter of an eye pointing towards the internet in general or the blogosphere specifically must have noticed that Google seems to have gone insane with the latest Page Rank updates. First there was the specific targeting of specific blogs and websites for reduction and/or penalties in both PageRank and rankings in Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). How is it not insane for a search on “John Chow” not to return johnchow.com as the first result? Then…

ShareAPic Problems Seem To Be Worked Out

Posted on November 14, 2007 - Filed Under Blogging, Fatherhood, Technology | Leave a Comment

Well, it seems that ShreAPic finally has all of their problems worked out. It took them more than a week of 100% down time to change over to new servers. Maybe they should have purchased used cisco equipment instead of having to try and configure the new equipment. But I digress…

Uploads have been re-enabled and I was finally able to upload the pics from our trip to the Burlingame Pez Museum to see the World’s Largest Pez Dispenser. I’m also in…

Looking Back On 100 PayPerPost Opportunities

Posted on November 13, 2007 - Filed Under Blogging, Paid To Write | Leave a Comment

Yesterday I wrote my 100th post through PayPerPost. I was hoping to save it for the announced name change to Izea, but apparently they weren’t excited enough about that change to offer a posting opportunity for it.

My first PPP opportunity was Trickle Down Poverty? written on July 16, 2007, though I couldn’t actually get it submitted to their system until July 31st as I was still going through the acceptance process. 100 posts in 104 days, not a bad average. My…
