Climb My Way Out

It has been quite a busy month. I’ve had exams every day for a week straight! Anyway, I’ve launched a new blog about the upcoming game StarCraft 2. I have not yet monetized it and probably will not for a little while. This website is more of a hobby for me. I’m quite a Blizzard game fanatic and I’ve enjoyed every single game released by that company. Although, they push back their release date on all games and make everyone wait a gazillion years. It’s well worth it, all their games are just phenomenal!

Last night I attended a webinar about PPV advertising and picked up some interesting insight on PPV. I didn’t like PPV before the webinar and still don’t like it, but if it helps generate income I’ll pretend to like it.

I came across several products that claim to boost page rank with Wikipedia links. Then I thought to myself, aren’t all links on Wikipedia ‘nofollow’ links? A ‘nofollow’ link informs some search engines that the link should not influence search engine ranking. Unless those products are teaching black hat methods, you aren’t walking down the free page rank boost aisle. Matt Cutts posted a video about ‘nofollow’ links and it certainly suggests that Wiki links won’t boost your search engine page ranking. However, I have read that if you’re a trusted editor on Wikipedia the ‘nofollow’ tags can be removed. Ding ding ding! So, those products were telling the truth. Yes, I admit it is possible, but the amount of work required to become a trusted editor is just silly.

I’ve recently looked in to affiliate marketing and thought to myself, it’s really just the art of persuasion. Persuasion is a very powerful tool in many aspects of life and when it comes down to making money, it’s definitely useful. There’s a few steps to persuading someone

A website without traffic is just lame and a waste of effort. When you have finished your masterpiece you need an audience. Getting the desired amount of audience can be tricky and can take a bit of time. If you already have several websites with large amounts of traffic, then this task is piece of cake for you but for the rest of us it can be a frustrating thing. Paid advertisement is always an option, however that is not an option suitable at all times. Lets say you started a website, you don’t have much content yet and you go out and spend a crap load of money advertising. You see traffic coming in and you’re happy about it but you noticed that it’s steadily declining. This is probably because you don’t have enough content or your content just suck. I for one think it’s best to not pay for advertisement until your content is sufficient and you know users will be returning. So, I decided to put together a list of ways you can jump start your website free of charge.

I’ve been looking into gold prices this past week and I’ve noticed a lot of businesses have sprung up recently buying up as much gold as they can. Most of these businesses are online businesses. It’s no surprise these businesses have been popping up,  gold prices have been moving upwards for the past decade. Back in 2000 the price of gold was approximately $250 – $300 an ounce and now it’s $1,000 – $1,200 an ounce. After doing some thorough research, I’ve found that most of these companies buying gold are paying ridiculously low prices. More specifically gold scraps and gold jewelry, they pay 20% – 60%

After 4 painstaking days, I’ve finally managed to put together my first revenue generating website. This site was suppose to be a one day job but it took longer than anticipated due to some unforeseen bad coding on the script. Anyway, this website is an image hosting site. The idea is definitely not unique, nor does the site have any kind of niche. So, why did I choose an image hosting site? Simply because it’s an easy project, easy to promote and practically maintenance free.

When you finally sit down and start making your websites, have you taken into consideration the almighty Google? In this article, I will discuss a few important issues regarding search engine optimization.

I will be introducing website building basics in this post. I was contemplating on whether this article should be written or not, since there are numerous in-depth resources on this topic. However, it doesn’t hurt to highlight some key important aspects of building websites for the inexperienced webmasters.

The objective of this blog is to document my every move as my ideas synthesize into reality. From doing this, I hope the readers of this blog will pick up on my mistakes and help me improve on my ideas.
