Google Adsense and SEO Experiment Concludes
Posted on November 3, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging, Earning Online, SEO, Technology | Leave a Comment
Hello again 
Did you miss me?
If any of y’all have wondered where I’ve been, I’ve been around, just keeping my paws off the site in order to see what would happen. Specifically, I was curious how my complete absence for a month would effect such things as my standings in Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs) and my Google Adsense revenue. Results were both positive and a bit distressing, but I’ll get to my reaction to them in a few moments.

Is StumbleUpon Traffic Worthless? Dispelling The Myth
Posted on September 27, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging | 12 Comments
Welcome to the very first edition of Social Saturday here at Philaahzophy. This semi-regular serious will appear whenever I have some new discovery, ide, or news to share about the world of social bookmarking sites: StumbleUpon, Digg, Reddit, etc.
By far, the most common complaint I see about social bookmarking site StumbleUpon is that the traffic “doesn’t convert”. In this case, “convert” means that the visitors don’t buy the product being advertised and/or click through any of the ads on the page, thus…

Part of the Top Hosting Center Series - Previous in series Next in series
As y’all know, my squabble with my webhosting company blew up over the last few days. It flowed not only into email but on to two other blogs in addition to this one as well. End results - one guy, John Raul, apparently lost the sponsorship of his blog (or possibly his job, or possibly nothing at all); Top Hosting Center’s CEO, Eric Vanier, is…

All week long my Carnival Midway Games Revealed (Part Two) post has been receiving 50-100 hits a day coming from StumbleUpon. Not bad at all considering it was written over a year ago! So this, of course, has reinitiated my interest in StumbleUpon and I’ve decided it’s time to give it another shot.
So, when I posted about a major flaw in Google’s PageRank (IMO) I Stumbled the…
Is It Worth Buying Stumbles From StumbleUpon?
Posted on April 30, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging, Reviews, Technology | Leave a Comment
I’m still experimenting with StumbleUpon, trying to figure out how to get any kind of consistent return from this social bookmarking site. When I received a bonus for one of my recent blog posts I decided to try buying some stumbles directly from SU themselves to promote that very post - essentially giving the advertiser a bonus as well. At $0.05 each I figured it would be well worth it and signed up to have 100 Stumblers visit my post…
Something’s Strange With StumbleUpon
Posted on April 16, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging, Technology | 11 Comments
I noticed something mighty strange about StumbleUpon today. But let me back up a bit…
Last week I came across Adamant Solution’s StumbleUpon Alerter. This is a great little app that you can download. It then sits in your system tray and alerts you when someone stumbles or reviews a post that you discovered. It actually does quite a bit more than that, but you should check it out yourself, because I want to talk about the weird thing that StumbleUpon…
