How I Get Traffic To My Blog

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

Though I do get a lot of search engine traffic to my blog from the likes of yahoo and google, it takes more than that to get traffic to my blog.

My daily routine of getting traffic to my blog

1. After I write a post, I use socialposter.com to submit my blog to services such as propeller, digg, and reddit.

2. I bookmark my page on onlywire which bookmarks my article on tons of bookmarking websites.

3. I look on yahoo answers for questions related to my blog topics.  I search for open questions and later vote them as the best.

4. I write comments on other related blogs and leave my website URL in the comment.

Essentially what I’m doing is spreading my blog link across the large world of the internet. The more links the better.  The more possibilities that someone finds a link to your blog, the more chances that someone is going to find your blog.

Comcast’s 22 Million Dollar Screen, Most Expensive?

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

Where does your cable and internet bill go? Towards building one of the most expensive video screens ever. So what does 22 Million Dollars spent on a screen buy you?

1. the largest four-millimeter LED screen in the world, measuring 83.3ft x 25.4ft

2. 10 million pixels mounted in a seamless flat array – that’s 5 times the resolution of high-definition tv

3. an automated control room, home to 27′000 gigabytes of information, six dx-700 led digitizers, seven encore video processors and three matrixpro routers.

As you’ll see in the video, the screen is quite amazing, though I’m not sure why they decided to construct it where two doors would be in the way…

Create A Free Wordpress Blog Online

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

My latest website venture is a website that allows users to create a blog online using wordpress completely for free.  Sure there are already plenty of blog services online that will let you create a free blog online, but how many let you effectively monetize it?

BustaBlog: Create a Free Wordpress Blog Online
With BustaBlog, users can register, choose from over 100 templates (or even add their own), monetize their blog using services like Chitika and Adsense, and connect to other users on the network.

My Idea
Be better than the rest.  Sure we’ve got blog networks, but I plan to be the most customizable.  Most networks limit just what you can do with your blog.  Of course, I have had to invest money for my own virtual server, getting the server up and running, and lots of ad money to bring users on to the BurstaBlog.

Never Give Up on Your Dreams
I’ve created many blogs, and tried many possibilities, all with 80% of them failing.   But it was worth it to find that 20% that now provides a full time income.  BurstaBlog may or may not work out, but I continue to try idea after idea looking for that next money maker.  We wouldn’t have billiondollar websites like Facebook if the users hadn’t tried, made the small invest and worked hard on their website.

Scott Richter Email Spammer Pays Out 6 Million

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

The Spammer Scott Richter’s Company Media Breakaway LLC have been hit with a 6 million dollar lawsuit that is going directly into the pockets of Myspace for spamming it’s users.

“An arbitrator has ruled that Scott Richter and his Web marketing company, Media Breakaway LLC of Westminster, Colo., must pay MySpace $4.8 million in damages and $1.2 million in attorney’s fees for barraging MySpace members with unsolicited advertisements. Media Breakaway and its employees were also banned from the site.”

We all hate spamers and maybe this will put a slight dent into their sides, but it’s not going to step them from invading our privacy on our phones, email, and even our beloved Craigslist.
