w3roi is live

July 29, 2009

I am writing up the announcement e-mails to send to my lists tonight announcing it: w3roi is open for business.
Even if you’re not looking for a new way to track your online advertising and get more sales out of your advertising spend, if you read my blog, you’re probably involved with online business in [...]

My new marketing blog

July 9, 2009

While w3roi isn’t ready for prime time yet, I’ve started writing for the new blog over there, Inside Online Marketing. I’ll be writing about one post a week on advertising, marketing, PPC/SEM, increasing conversions and other related topics.

Step by Step of Launching a New Service

July 2, 2009

It’s been almost three months since I decided to create and sell an ad tracking service (in progress), and I’m still probably a few weeks away from being able to find out if anyone wants to use it. There’s so much involved in launching a new service beyond just writing the code:

Plan and Develop the [...]

By the way, I think I see your name “somewhere” online once or twice a day (and I get around).. you remind me of that clone guy from the Matrix lol.

Looking for Sites to Advertise On

September 4, 2008

WP Review Site keeps selling, so I keep advertising it. I’ve sponsored reviews by a dozen blogs and bought ad space on a dozen more. I listed it in the major script directories, the webmaster marketplaces, and the top webmaster forums. I have AdWords ads in place to reach the small amount of search volume [...]

WPRS Multi-Site Licenses, Non-PayPal Payments

August 12, 2008

WP Review Site continues to sell well, enough that I spent the time to give it a proper payment form instead of just a PayPal redirect. Those that can’t or choose not to use PayPal can now pay directly by credit card. By several requests, WPRS is now available in a multi-site license ($199) and [...]

WP Review Site 2.0 is Here

August 9, 2008

WP Review Site, the plugin that turns a WordPress blog into a powerful review site engine, is now available for purchase at the new wpreviewsite.com. If you want to run a site like Award Winning Hosts, allowing users to submit reviews and ratings, check it out. It’s also a great WP affiliate plugin.

FeedLines-Powered Site For Sale

July 30, 2008

The script alone has sold three copies in the first day, not bad for a few hours’ work.
I’ve gotta say it feels good to make money somewhere other than Visitor Boost, which is a nightmare to manage and never feels like stable income despite its performance.

Product in a Day: FeedLines

July 29, 2008

This is my first attempt at building a simple product of my own to sell, rather than a service or subscription. I watch the SitePoint Marketplace on an almost daily basis, and I see so many simple, turnkey sites sold and resold on a consistent basis. While the scripts behind these sites may seem simple [...]

W3Counter Updated Thanks to CNET

April 3, 2008

Some time this morning someone submitted W3Counter’s Global Stats report to Digg with a headline about the increase in Linux market share. The story crossed the threshold for a front page listing but was auto-buried… perhaps because that page has already been on the front page at least 4 times this year.
A CNET blogger wrote [...]
