Ok, I'm a fuckin' noob but I'm really excited because I've been able to get a couple of conversions with a technique I came up with on my own to get some ebay sales. Basically, I'm targeting certain niches/communities where folks are always looking for certain items. Well, I go to ebay, find...

Ok, I made this one based on my own needs. I wanted to be able to pile a bunch of related keywords together and then get all the possible phrases that could be generated from those keywords. I also wanted to specify the length of the phrase. This script does that. It's just a javaScript so it's...

So I do my keyword research, then I want to experiment with my first campaign. I take an hour to write a few ads. All my reasearch indicates 20 cents a click will get me nearly 1000 a day if I want them. Create my campain and activate it. Oh My Fuckin' God! All of my keywords are inactive...

I have some really common keywords that are showing lots of search traffic in wordtracker. I go to google and type them in, nothing shows up. It throws a few alternates out there (15 of them) but none of the stuff I'm seeing in wordtracker is on the list. I thought google tracked search...

Hey guys, Just something I whipped up in about 10 minutes. It's an interactive scraper. That is, you plug in a url you want to scrape. A query string of tags, classes (or ids) and click the button. Just unzip it to your desktop and open it with IE. Click 'allow active conent' and plug in...

Here is my list of things I've learned and incorporated into my thinking when I'm working on websites and campaign ideas. Feel free to add to them and we can compile them into a big list. I'm being semi-serious here. 1. Websites about making money online selling ebooks are full of shit! 2...

I've been reading about paying for directory submissions. (I've seen some good reviews on some folks on the For Sale forum) Is it a good or bad thing to do? Will I see a bump in traffic from this? If so, how effective are they and how many should I buy? Honest feedback here. I'm the kinda...

Question about articles directories. Can anyone name some of the better ones out there. As far as getting content ideas, and submitting to. Thanks in advance,

Ok, this is my site. (It's the first time I've listed it). I'm seriously considering trying to make a bit of money off of it. It's: Dad of Twins Yeah, I'm a dad of 7 year old twin girls. It's the first time I did any keyword research and I consider that part of it a success. It gets...

I have a domain that I registered this winter. I started a blog on there and lost interest in updating it. However, in cPanel I see it's averaging 300-350 uniques per day in the "Direct address / Bookmarks" line of awstats. Does this mean that it's coming from folks typing in the url...

Hey guys, Yep, another fuckin' noobie asking another fuckin' noobish question. If I'm asking this for the bazillionth fuckin' time, fuck you, I'm a noobie! hahahaha Ok, I wanted to start my question with an introduction with enough 'f' words that might lessen the drama of the other 'f'...

I'm looking to start making scrapers for some of you fine folks. I would be willing to give a few out for free to see if I'm up to snuff. I have one written already that is just a proof of concept type deal. It uses the Adobe Air runtime on your PC. Then you just install the Air app I...

What a hella-helpful site. So much I'm learning and have yet to learn. I started a photography related message board / photo gallery (on a dare) more than 4 years ago. Currently we have more than 800 members registered and, based on what cPanel says, about 350 uniques visitors a day. We...

I'm new here but I read in lots of areas of this site that it's good to give back to the community. A little informal poll. Who wants to learn some simple scraping techniques? You don't need a server or php. Just some neat HTML and JavaScript. It can run client-side in your IE browser...

<Flame-Proof-Undies> Hi guys, just found this site today. I gotta say, 'It's right up my alley'. Wow! So much to see and learn. Here's my deal, I've been a web programmer for about the past 15 years. (Notice I didn't say, a 'Web Designer') I have absolutely horrible creative skills...
