"There is no doubt in my mind that search quality has gone downhill in the years since Google first came on air, and these pseudo-sites have a lot to do with it." Wait...what? Come on, you don't honestly believe that, do you? Google's algo

Hopefully the settings to enable Mu functionality isn't easy to get to, or else millions of people are going to upgrade and turn that on because they think it'd be cool and "I'm sure other people want to blog on my site!" and then get spamm

The reason people trust and believe the spam search results that come up and blindly make purchases on those sites is the same reason they can't realize that Google isn't some non-profit public service but is in reality an ad-littered money

Everyone wants high quality search results, of course. But like I said in my OP, Google is a for profit company that depends on high traffic keyword searches and high volume publishers to maintain their livelihood. It's not that far of a st

I'm gonna go out on a limb here: Who gives a shit? Everyone treats Google like this super police agent who's job is to keep our minds free from digital pollution. Yet 97% of Google's income comes from their ad network, which thrives on havi

It was most likely so you could freely use and modify them when using them on your own sites. Someone with a good eye spotted the opportunity though. From what I know, the owners of those sites are being approached and asked to shut down.

After having read about the Nintendo 3DS all day, I've been dying to see this 3D effect in action. This is really awesome. Now the question is, is there an easy way to do this with our own content? I would love to mess around with this tech

It takes less effort to host your own blog than it does to recover from someone taking yours down and leaving you hangin out to dry.

This will probably not be something you want to hear, but this is EXACTLY why you should host your own blog on your own server. No threat from someone potentially shutting it down for no reason.

What does that mean? Are you looking to serve news up in an unconventional way?

From what I've heard/read about them, they take a lot of manual maintenance and oversite to make sure things run smoothly. As far as scam, they aren't really tricking people, it's just that people are dumb and don't spend enough time to rea

The symptoms for ADHD are nearly identical to depression, anxiety, and minor cases of manic depression. Armchair psychology is a very very dangerous thing, that nearly all of us get wrong. Hit up a doctor before jumping to conclusions.

Most of this sounds like I wrote it. I hate time, I'm 23 and feel like I'm so far behind where I want to be. Think about it this way: 15 years ago, we were in 3rd grade. I don't even remember anything in third grade. Since then, I've gone t

You're half right. It is just good design, but it is good, well optimized for search engines design. It's one thing to design a good page layout and write good content, but it's a whole different beast to really look at a how a spider is cr

Wordpress by far. You can get hosting for as low as $15/6 months that should do just fine for your initial efforts (I've gotten hosting from ASmallOrange at that price). Wordpress has the largest number of plugins and themes that can basica

Just release it. If you succumb to your own self doubt, it will self perpetuate until you're lost all desire to work on the project anymore. The faster you see that people like what you did and want to use it, the faster your motivation wil

While I agree with you, I don't particularly find publicly announced personal attacks a proper way of addressing the issue. I've found the best thing to do is ignore her and laugh at the investor's who find her, or any other fluffer for tha

Do you already have the skills necessary? If so, beg everyone you know for a cheap job, and then beg them more for referrals. In freelance, 95% of your work will come from your network of clients and referrals. You could also scrape craigsl

Yeah, most people balk at the idea of paying monthly for something, even at something like $10-$20 a month. My background is heavily mixed with Internet Marketing kinds of guys, who are notoriously stingy with this stuff. But it's easy to c

I prefer to pay recurring payments because it's incentive for the developers to continue working on the project. You could look into using quarterly or half yearly payments potentially, similar to how Pandora does it, charging for the whole

I got really excited until I saw that it didn't support Windows yet and required Ruby 1.9. Nice looking setup at least though. Anyone know how soon Windows support is expected to arrive?

meh, I guess my idea of what I thought a handful of people meant was lower than everyone elses opinion. By handful, I mean a small percentage. Since there are so many publishers on Adsense, a small percentage of that is still a good amount

by ddemchuk 16y ago
Well you sir would then be a member of that handful. The income on the Adsense network is just like the income distribution of America: 1% control 80%.

I really hope you're kidding...I would venture a guess that there are no more than a handful of people in the world making more than $100/month in adsense, even with a lot of content sites

just keep a small pad of paper in your back pocket. the longer you spend searching for faster/fancier/more efficient/cooler ways to track things, the more time you're simply wasting. Just start doing it and write down your progress.
