Launching A New eBay Affiliate Site On Golf
Thu, 01 May 2008 18:41:40 +0000
I’m always on the look out for decent golf sites to buy. At the start of this year I went on a massive hunt to find some good quality golf sites to add to my network and came away with absolutely nothing. I eventually broke down and started several from scratch and within the last [...]

A Trick To Get Easy Links With CommentLuv
Thu, 17 Apr 2008 14:31:34 +0000
I’ll normally leave the link building tips to Mixed Market Arts but the other day I came across a neat use of Google and CommentLuv that I wanted to share. This technique is pretty smooth and I’m upset that I didn’t think of this myself weeks, if not months, ago when I first wrote about [...]

My Experience With The SitePoint Marketplace
Thu, 10 Apr 2008 13:20:46 +0000
I’ve been waiting to write this post for a very long time.
Some of you might remember that I put my auction aggregator up for sale back on the 15th of February. I decided to list the site on the SitePoint Marketplace to see what kind of reaction it would get. I promised I’d give a [...]

I Luv WordPress 2.5
Thu, 03 Apr 2008 14:34:05 +0000
I’ve been using WordPress 2.5 since the day of its release on this and several other blogs and so far I absolutely love it. The new admin is such a huge leap above and beyond previous iterations that it doesn’t even look or feel like the same program anymore. It’s transitioned from horrible open-source interface [...]

Big Changes At eBay
Fri, 28 Mar 2008 12:34:15 +0000
Things have been pretty busy at the eBay offices recently.
Hot on the heels of their announcement of an in-house affiliate program (see you in hell, Commission Junction) comes word that they’re banning anyone from selling digital download products through auction.
I want to talk briefly about my opinion on each of these moves.
Commission Junction
The fact that [...]

The New WordPress Admin Answers Prayers
Thu, 27 Mar 2008 13:30:56 +0000
I’m on the record as saying the current WordPress admin and dashboard are white hot awful. So I’ve been keeping an eye on the impending 2.5 release with it’s brand new admin designed by the folks at Happy Cog.
Yesterday, Matt Mullenweg posted a short introductory video on the WordPress.org blog showing the new admin. It [...]

Quick Hits From Jack’s Empire
Mon, 24 Mar 2008 16:10:22 +0000
I’m officially in the middle of the silly season as baseball is days away from getting started. Client work takes precedence over the blog so I apologize for the lack of updates recently. I thought I’d make a quick post today with some brief thoughts I’ve had on a variety of subjects.
I finally found a [...]

Two New WordPress Themes Coming Soon
Tue, 18 Mar 2008 12:56:25 +0000
I have two new WordPress themes I’m going to be releasing for free in the very near future. They both just need some tightening up (mostly in the markup department). I’ll probably be releasing one of them as an exclusive to subscribers of my newsletter and the other through regular channels and on WordPressings.

Using Web Site Sales As Inspiration
Mon, 17 Mar 2008 02:22:32 +0000
I’ve been spending some time this weekend going through the Buy, Sell or Trade forum over at Digital Point. I like to do this not only to spot some good potential deals but to also get my finger on the pulse of what’s doing well online. This is a great way to pick the topic [...]
