in Audience is King on Chris Brogan
@Taylor
Money is king on the net when it comes to businesses getting customers. Any "community" or "club" that does not produce revenue for a business will be dropped like a bad habit. It has nothing to do with being bored.
BTW--it is ok to be bored and earn money. 99% of Americans are bored or frustrated at their jobs, but those jobs put food on the table. I'd much prefer to be bored and earn money from my basement rather than be bored and earn money in a cubical 1 hour from home.

You totally missed my point, though you agreed with it unknowingly. Your Fathers Day video says otherwise as well... ;)

We could discuss "what is king" all day long and get no-where. Truth is, making money is king. I don't think any of us are here to "have fun" or "get a warm and fuzzie" out of the internet.
Bottom line: If someone is making money from a project, platform or idea, then THAT is king. How you get there is the interesting part.

Money is NOT king. If you just do things for money's sake, you will be bored out of your mind and miserable. Now don't misunderstand me, money is important, but not be of such importance that we lift it up on a pedestal.

in Tomorrow Comes Quicker Than You Think on Todds Tips
Todd,
You may wanna get out of the AF and come to Chicago and forecast weather here. If you could get it right just 25% of the time, you'd be 10x better than these guys on TV here... you'd be rich! LOL
On a serious note, man I totally get what you are saying. My long term plans have changed several times in the last 10 years (and I am much younger than you ;) ) and during all those changes, I often forgot to live "for the now."
I think you may find that outside of the AF is so different too. I only did 4 years but when I got out, I found it hard to adjust to the real world.

Hey AL,
Believe it or not, I don't really want a weather job when I'm done with the Air Force ... I like weather, but when I retire from the military I intend for my life to sound something like:
- Get up, check email help get kids to school
- Go to the golf course
- "Work" business for an hour or two
- Hang out with kids after school
- Eat dinner, watch tv/movie with Ana
- "Work" business again for another hour or two before bed.
The main setback to my plan (and I'm sure I'm not alone) is trying to live the life I envision just a little too soon.
I'm all about having fun, I think it's a Very important aspect of a balanced successful life. But ...
Gotta sacrifice a little bit now, to get the rewards I want in a year or two, or five.
... and more importantly, gotta be constantly evaluating the type of sacrifices I'm making to ensure that the return on the investment of my time/effort is actually commensurate with the progress I'm making towards my goals.
As for life being different outside the military ... I know for a fact I am in for some culture shock ... I enlisted 6 months after my dad retired ... I've Never not been "in" the military ... in my entire life.

in Can Babies Swim ? on Todds Tips
Hey seriously man, great photo! cute kid too, LOL
growing up in FLA, we learned to swim super early.
My mom has old films of me at the beach with her and I was splashing in the waves and getting rolled around in the surf like a rag doll.
I saw a 20-20 special on TV a few years ago where babies were swimming underwater like dolphins. LOL

Hi Allyn,
Yes, I think I've seen similar tv shows, if not that same one, that show very little babies swimming like fish. I'd like to get Jaiden doing that ... lol, although getting her mom to agree to me throwing her in the pool could be a tough task :-)

Hey Al,
Yes, I expect to have to make a run over to the store for a spark plug next weekend when the mower doesn't start. lol, I just need my 16 year old son to come live with me again. Not that I don't like mowing the lawn ... but it's so much more fun to make him actually earn his allowance.

in AdSense Ads Not Showing Up - Here May Be the Reason! on John Cow dot COM
Carol,
they don't show up until the adsense bot crawls the content so Google knows what ads to show. On a YouTube video, there pretty much is no content besides some tags, thus making things a little slower sometimes.
if you are posting the vids on a blog, try adding about 150 words of supporting content utilizing keywords that support the video.

in Case Study: ProBlogger Guest Post Effect On My Traffic on How To Make My Blog
I did not check, but were the links no followed?
If not, I would suggest you stumble an digg your guest post as well as send some article marketing links to it. As you know, you get the PR6 juice from him as long as you stay on the front page, but when you fall off, it will drop.
If you could get the PR of the post up, that would be a great juicer for the future.
(BTW--I read the article and got a lot from it, but did not know it was yours. I follow you on Twitter)

@Lawn: links were dofollow from what I see. Hopefully Google will recognize them at some point. I did submit at Stumble and Digg. Thanks for tips and for following!
@Dayne and @Rowell thanks for commenting and following!
@Sarah: as everything I have written until now, it is a service to other bloggers who are working on getting their blogs to grow. About traffic, any kind of traffic can be monetized, even the RSS subscribers. So creating content people find valuable and getting loyal readers is always a step number 1 to anything you want to achieve with your blog. Without loyal visitors, there is not much you can do.
@Sid Savara: I hope so. If I see any other trends, I will surely write about it.
@Geoserv: yeah traffic was alright but SU did bring more visitors in those 5 days. As I wrote Problogger referred around 15% of my traffic on those 5 days. But it was very quality traffic as you see from Analytics stats in the article. Very much worth going for it in my opinion!
@Roman: I was surprised when I saw that big jump on the first day as well! The plugin and message I used might have been part of it, try experimenting with it yourself.

in The Traps To Avoid In Finding A Hot Product on John Cow dot COM
I have had great luck with Clickbank ever since I got John Cow's free ebook.
You give just a little info about choosing a product in CB, but it was enough to spark my thought processes and I have started 3 sites since that are targeted to CB revenue. Now I just need to get more traffic to them.
Great post Jason,
