I'm struggling with a decision that has more to do with business in general than marketing. Can anyone suggest some good reading material on choosing between faster growth vs. profit? My current projects can either be made instantly profitable or be left losing money while growing rather...

I run a forum where I allow pretty much any discussion. (Not like WF though. No dickrolling and other shit. Clean language only.) With my other forums, I always put a restriction: no religion and no politics. But with this one, I decided to let the users talk about pretty much whatever they...

I just received four spam messages pimping PPC services to four distinct e-mail addresses that aren't listed anywhere, but only used for Adwords accounts. Anybody else seeing this?

I just got myself a 2007 GT500. I'm not really into drag, race, drift, or whatever shit. This was an impulse buy at a dealership located two blocks from where I live. Time from seeing the listing on the web to driving out of the lot with the new tags: 1.5 hours. Funny thing is what took the...

Does anyone know anything about hard money lending? I know a guy who runs a small fund doing hard money lending at 50% loan to value ratio. 50% seems like a safe bet. And he offers 12% annual return, which is pretty good. I'm thinking about investing with his firm. After considering various...

I just received an e-mail from someone at "Internet Brands, Inc." saying they want to acquire my forum. I'm not really looking to sell, and usually just delete e-mail like that without responding. Most of such requests come from low-ballers who are looking for bargains. But I've heard/read that...

I want to order a scrapebox/xrumer/whatever run to get some internal links to my site. So I have a list of 25k pages with 25k titles. They are all internal pages on my domain. Does anybody offer a service like that? I'm looking for more than 25k links in total. Multiple links to each page...

I run a pg rated forum. And today, one of the users sent me some info about another user. Turns out the dude has been convicted of "800.04 Lewdly Fondle Or Assault, Commit Or Simulate Sexual Acts On Or In Presence Of A Child Under 16 In A Lewd, Lascivious Or Indecent Manner". Not much info...

Well, not really in my plans. But I run a forum with a buy/sell section, similar to SBT here. Apparently, one user ripped a few people off. So now, they are talking about suing that user, me and one of the mods to get their money back. If they can't get their money from the seller that ripped...

Does anyone know where I could find comparative data for overall estimated volume of ecommerce transactions (preferably just B2C) by country? I'm not looking for some specific niche, but overall consumer spending. Any ideas where to look?

I like their facial expressions.

If you stare at it long enough, you'll start hallucinating :) ...or vomiting...
