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.

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Considering I’ve been scheduling every hour of the day to get everything done for the past three weeks, I’m a little surprised SitePoint was able to expose me to their message enough times to get me to buy something.

They’re not always different things, either, one of many [...]

Since the thank-you page is where the [...]
W3Counter.com‘s global stats report was recently featured on Digg.com, the community-driven link sharing site. It isn’t the first time W3Counter’s been voted to the top as Digg’s users are passionate about technology and love to know what everyone else is using — what browsers, operating systems, screen resolutions — the exact stats W3Counter reports on.
The Pixelotto Experiment was one of the most popular entries on this blog for several weeks reflecting the hype surrounding the site’s launch. Tew’s million dollar homepage copy made online headlines in December, but never gained the media attention the original site saw. By mid-January, sales of the pixel ads had almost completely stopped, and [...]
