Some interesting suggestions there Tim. I think 1 and 4 would be my best bet. Although I like the cold and snow here in PA, I don't think I could stand getting in an ice bath let alone staying in for 10 minutes! Maybe, I'll try laying in the snow tonight, that work the same? :)

Re: LeapFish Caught Red Handed Spamming TechCrunch

Brian,

I was embarrassed to see that exchange on TechCrunch. Even if I had to fire all 80 of my employees I would never allow anything .like that to happen. But then I have heard that for the photo opportunities bunch of models are hired and the company is really run by 3 or 4 people.

Re: My $36,000 Disney Cruise

Ahh, thats right, guess I should have went back and re read that post lol. I have no choice but to stick with Verizon where I am, since they offer the best coverage here.

Tim_Jones — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 11:26:00 -0000

Well, I don't want to pay the fee to break the contract and as I said in another post, all providers suck, so - may as well stick with the one that costs the least for what I want. Also, any provider would charge for the data transfer. I just didn't think about it, so I figured my readers would appreciate the heads-up.

Dude,

Why are you still with T Mobile again?

Re: New Premium Theme - Ultimate Blogging Theme with Discount Code

profwebs — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 12:36:25 -0000

You can actually have as many articles as you want in the featured
section. Here is another site using anoher Theme by Woo:
http://www.mojonomic.com/. I actually wish I would have bought that 1
to customize, but oh well. The featured secction it has is pretty cool.

The reason I went with Woo was that it seems everyone uses UBD or
Revolution themes. I wanted something that is less used, plus IMO, Woo
themes just have way more options. (which can be a bad thing too)

Re: New Premium Theme - Ultimate Blogging Theme with Discount Code

Tim_Jones — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 10:46:49 -0000

I like that Woo theme! I like how you can feature three posts at the top. I had looked at Woo Themes, also, but just really liked the layout of this one. Revolution had some good themes, too, but he's gone open source, stopped selling his old set of premium themes, and is coming out with a whole new set of premium themes and I didn't really want to wait for those. I've read and heard over and over that "upgrading" to a premium or custom theme really helps with traffic and authority, so I wanted to just step it up a notch. :) Next stop, custom, baby! :)

I also switched themes this weekend, lol. I bought a theme from WooThemes over a month ago and finally worked on it yesterday. I'll keep tweaking things when I have time, but I pretty like how it is now. Not as many options for ads, but thats ok with me fornow.

Yep, just got the email -- it's live! Oh, and yes, it will count. :)

Hey Tim,

Nice quick guide, I haven't gotten an email from Jeremy yet, but take a look at http://www.theblackinkproject.com. Looks like its live? Oh, and you don't have to count this comment for the November contest :)

Thanks Lisa! I hardly ever win anything, so I was pretty amazed.

Re: Make Big Money Online! Win a Free Flip Mino, $75, and More!

profwebs — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 00:49:12 -0000

I wanted to thank Tim and Market Leverage for the roll up usb keyboard I won from last months contest. I got the email from Tim this afternoon.

Later on this evening, I got another email from Gyutae Park at Winning The Web, letting me know that I had won a Macbook Air from a contest there promoting RankSense. So, have to say I'll be marking November 3rd in future calenders as my "lucky day"!

Enter the contests people! You can win! The odds of winning these contests are better than most other contests!

Re: Zac Johnson Does It, Again - Free Landing Page Template

Tim_Jones — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 15:24:30 -0000

I agree, Jeremy's stuff is awesome! I'd planned on writing a post to announce BIP 2.01 (or whatever iteration this one will be :) ). I definitely think there is enough info out there for an overload situation. Sometimes, you do have to pay for some good stuff, but you need to be very selective, IMHO.

Re: Zac Johnson Does It, Again - Free Landing Page Template

profwebs — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 14:59:48 -0000

Hey Tim,

Thanks for the link to the landing page, Ill put that one in my templates folder also. I also wanted to comment on all of the affiliate marketing info out there. It is very easy to go broke and come down with a case of "information overload" with everything there is available.

I just wanted to give Jeremy Palmer of Quit Your Day Job more praises here. I did both of his free "courses" in affiliate marketing this year. The Black Ink Project 1 and 2 and have to say the education I got from him was invaluable. He covered everything from doing a business plan and taxes to research and design. The Dreamweaver and Fireworks tips I learned from him helped me out a lot since I taught myself through trial and error on them.

He's getting ready to do another one and I highly recommend it to anyone just getting into affiliate marketing. You can post the links if you like or I will providing it is OK with you.

I stumbled upon this post ;-)

Add to Any looks pretty cool, too. Doing ok, still learning aff marketing and working on a couple campaigns while I wait for some money to come in and invest in PPC.

I am a big fan of Sociable plugin.... just taking a look around to see what is out there.

Have you seen this one yet: http://www.addtoany.com/ ?

Brian, nice to see you around this blog again. I am truly humbled. Hope you are doing well.

You should also check out Joost DeValk's Sociable widget. I ditched both of the above many months ago after trying Sociable. http://yoast.com/wordpress/sociable/

Re: What’s Your Motive? - Motive Interactive Network

profwebs — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 13:33:24 -0000

Just have to say that I think Motive is definitely moving in the right direction. I'm rather new to internet marketing so my experience is limited. However, I have dealt more with Motive than any other network and my affiliate manager there has been more than helpful. We have had many discussions via IM related to biz as well as just saying hi, how are you. I feel that Motive is probably about the most n00b friendly network there is.

I also did a quick review of the new Advent v2 interface on my blog and I have to say it is a huge improvement over their current panel. The 1st thing I noticed was how much faster everything loads, which with the current interface drives me crazy waiting.

The 2nd thing is the improved metrics allowing you to more accurately track all of the stats you need to keep your ROI up.

Re: 1,000 Twitter Followers: Lessons I've Learned

profwebs — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 21:14:06 -0000

Well, I don't much rely on how many followers I have. I find as I follow new quality people and make quality tweets and replies, even more followers come. I have picked up quite a few new followers this week, just by following 1 or 2 people early on in the week and getting a conversation going with them.

Re: XShot Pix Review

Tim_Jones — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 15:48:14 -0000

Actually, I used the Samsung point-and-shoot that I won at IzeaFest. Just a cheap little camera. My Flip is the old one, without a tripod connection, so I don't use it much, anymore.

Re: XShot Pix Review

profwebs — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 15:21:02 -0000

I assume you are using a Flip for the video? Looks like a pretty cool toy, although I need to get more comfortable being in front of he camera to start making any video's.
