All of a sudden, I can't look at someone's photo without having to stumble over an ad or app. There's even app that thinks it's cute to have you vote on a bunch a questions randomly linked to your network of friends. At least, i think they're randomly linked...

An overlooked niche, a starving crowd...who could ask for anything more? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAc9k7vJ9Zk

Halfway through my 30 Days To Success, I realized I'd made a HUGE error. Though I've finally mastered looking for the right kinds of keywords, I came up with a clever, cutesy domain name for my site and got next to zero traffic. Why? I came to realize it was because no one was clever enough to come up with my cutesy domain name to use for an Internet search! So though my 30 Days were running out, I decided to buy a more appropriate domain name. I picked my highest-searched but least-competed wi

The Wealthy Affiliate 7-Day One Dollar Trial Offer begins at 12 Noon EST on Tuesday, March 1. Between then and March 8, anyone who pays a dollar will have full access to this site for seven days, so I wanted to remind everyone here at WAU that we should be on our very best behavior: No wild parties to which I am not invited. Shoving everything on the floor under your bed does NOT qualify as "cleaning your room." Suits and ties are not mandatory, but shoes, socks or stockings, and

Had an article rejected because it contained a "forbidden" word. Who, me? Someone who spent ten years writing ads, ten more writing and editing music journalism, then ten years more writing about politics? Someone who's been called a "grammar Nazi?" Do I sound like the kind of person who would let a forbidden word slip past me?  Yet apparently, that's exactly what I did. Here is the forbidden sentence: For the sake of your business, don't gamble with your online image

I went to the hardware store because my bathroom tiles had started coming loose. The clerk said, "Ceiling or floor tiles?" I said, "Floor." He said, "Linoleum or ceramic"? I said, "Ceramic." He asked if I'd was going to re-glue the tile myself, and I said, "Yes." He asked if I'd ever laid tiles before, and I said, "No." He then produced two tile adhesive products, and recommend one because it was a water-soluable semi-solid which woul

Put unwanted Christmas gifts on Ebay. Overpay for champagne. And worst of all, update the copyright year on my WordPress site. Thanks to WA, I've got two hundred posts to go through this year, which doesn't include the static pages, so it's is going to take, like, FOREVER! It has to be done, though, so I might as well stop whining and get to work... I go to my home page. Log in to my WordPress admin area. Click on "Editor" under "Appearance." Open the footer.php file. Change

I'm not as far along as I want to be, but now that I'm on furlough from work until after the holidays, I can let unemployment pay the bills while I catch up on my IM reading, learn how to use my article spinner, and set some sensible goals for next year. For instance, I definitely want to get in on this local online marketing that's getting off the ground and set up some retailing accounts with Amazon and beyond. I have yet to figure out social networking, but I have purchased a webcam. And now

"Oh, no! Nothing's happened! It's a disaster!" After the health care reform bill was signed, US President Barack Obama said, “Can you imagine if some of these reporters were working on a farm, and you planted some seeds, and they came out the next day and they looked and said, 'Nothing's happened--there's no crop! We're going to starve! Oh, no! It's a disaster!' It’s been a week, folks...we should wait to see what happens when we actually put it into place.” I started planting m
