Re: Can You Eliminate $500 of Your Expenses Each Month?

InvestorBlogger — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 03:07:56 -0000

That's an interesting challenge. I think that would be about 1/6 of my current salary... or 16%... a challenge. But then we're not very careful with our $$$

Re: So What Have I Done Wrong Now Google?

InvestorBlogger — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 13:46:11 -0000

Unfortunately, the more that Google takes TBPR away from blogs the less their PR authority can be seen as authoritative. Why? There are now hundreds, if not thousands, of blogs without PR. Yet, they are read by tens of thousands of readers, if not hundreds of thousands each day, like mine.

I'm considering going no-follow soon, but I'm not asking for reinclusion.

I do believe that this PR spank will backfire on Google, and we'll see Google readmitting many hundreds of blogs at some point, or removing TBPR altogether. Fact is, even my blog still passes PR to other blogs, it's just not 'seen'.

Meantime over on InvestorBlogger, I'm posting as normal, getting decent traffic, and making money. So, what have I lost without PR? Not really very much at all.

Anyone else checking Google's stock price these days?

Andy,

Thanks for your comment! I did get it but as you suspected, I had to fish it out of the spam section. I was notified though.

Have no idea why it ended up there, but it gave an error that said somethinga bout your IP address being a problem.

I will comment soon on it!

Yep, rates are going up still in Taiwan... which should make the ntd more attractive than the US. the ntd isn't a fully traded currency, but the unofficial peg has really hurt other exchange rates as the US$ fell in value.

Good luck on PPP... I've been doing it for a year or more. It's worth it, but don't get over focused on their opportunities! I took some that I didn't really need to... It was quite stressful when 60K bloggers were all bidding for higher paid posts... STressed me out unnecessarily, and distracted me from blogging.

Hi, Jorge...

Congratulations! Our blogs are doing very similarly at the moment, though I gave up on PPP after last month. My subscriber numbers keep dropping, and my page views are building slowly to 1700 Uniques PM.

I haven't done this month's income report... but soon. We both seem to be suffering lack of readers.... perhaps our blogs aren't directly in the 'hot' areas of the moment.

Geez, Timpani. What is your beef? You are not a lawyer, so you basically told everyone how much you DON'T know... How do you know JohnCow didn't get legal advice on this? ... Why are you acting the "I told you so" routine? Grow up and get your own blog.

A Taiwanese Corporation: You don't actually have any cows at all, you simply manufacture all the parts in China, and ship them to your markets worldwide (See China). You then import all your beef and milk from the US.

I wonder what the twits of famous people alive and dead would read like if they had ever used twitter...

Julius Caesar on Conquering Britain: "Veni, Vidi, Vici. In vane."

And others?

Oh, I get confused ALL the time... but it's when my hand dances over the 'c' and 'h' keys... if my fingers are too fast, I end up killing Pandas instead... If not, then I end up with Cows.

Craig, I'm enjoying the tutorials, too. Even though my camera skills are B A S I C! ... Would like some help on simple photoshop stuff, too... if you have time!

Oh, And Craig! Are there any photo-exhibits in Taipei at the moment? I found one at TIBE in the French Publishers section, which I enjoyed.... How would I find out?

That's helpful. It's the kind of thing that we could come back for updates on! ...

It's very rare to hear Japanese these days unless they're tourists. But many people learn Japanese hear in classes at language school.
