My Conclusions Regarding My 30 Minutes Backlinks Test

[2009-03-28 The three sites I created for this test were thin affiliate sites.  I did a very poor job of creating the sites and have not done what needs to be done to make them good sites.  As a result, I have not kept the domains, and you will no longer be able to look up these sites in Google.  If you find any results after this update then...

Niche Store Marathon

21 niche stores in four days. That’s what I just finished doing. I made 21 Build A Niche Stores (BANS) over the past four days. Whew! Now, you may be asking why I did this. Good question! Starting in September of 2007 I began purchasing domain URLs with the purpose of building niche stores on them. I ended up collecting almost 30 such URLs....

Treat Yourself to High Speed Internet Connection

If you have the ability and the means then consider treating yourself to an upgrade in your internet connection. I did and the difference is unbelievable! For the past few years I have had cable internet connection. Lately the speed of this connection has been bugging me at how slow it takes to create BANS sites so I checked into getting a higher...

Common Mistakes when creating BANS sites

Today I attempted to pick up where I left off and everything looked ok until I clicked on the link I had just created I was shocked to see a 404 error message. According to Wikipedia, “A 404 error is often returned when pages have been moved or...

Don’t Miss Out on any ACRUs

I just checked my eBay affiliate stats in my EPN account and was happy to see that I earned a $25 new registration commissions, also known as ACRU. This was an exciting discovery, as it always is when I get that extra $25, but it also reminded me that I’ve been wanting to write this very post. So, here it is. Have you converted all your...

How to Add Images to Sidebar Menus and Auction Results

On my Tools For Ghost Hunters niche store I added images of a ghost that you can see links are hovered over or selected. I’ve been requested to share how I did this. Writing these instructions is something I’ve put off because I think it this is a rather difficult mod but have finally so read on if you would like to add images to your...

My reformat is complete

The reformatting of my computer is now complete. Of course, it took much longer than I anticipated. Isn’t that always the way with reformats? All seemed to go well until I wanted to install my laser printer. Darned if it won’t recognize it. For all the times I’ve reformatted, which is more than I care to admit, I’ve never...
