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 [...]
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.
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 [...]
MrLen wrote in September: 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. And earlier today, I found a post by “Young” about WP Review Site: Shit….I practically started this whole web shit [...]
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.

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.
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.
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 [...]
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 [...]
