Some companies are just sooo touchy about people using their name in domain names. According to the man himself the latest to fall victim to this is John Chow’s reciprocal Twitter following service hosted at www.twitterfollower.com
Twitter have issued a Cease & Desist to John, it’ll be really interesting to see how this one pans out (there are certainly plenty of cases in John’s favour for this one)?
Oh and by the way there is also a very real chance that this could be just link bait by Mr Chow himself. If it is it’ll be a shame, I’d really like to see how the courts would see something like this.

The technique I mentioned about using RevTwt to make money from Social Spark was a dud. I just got fired this e-mail:-
“Thank you for your interest in our CPC program. We truly appreciate your enthusiasm! However, we have noted that you obtained many clicks for your CPC Opportunities from an outside marketing platform, http://revtwt.com which is in violation of our Terms Of Service sect. 3.8.

I’m going to be very careful here not to slag of Text-Link-Ads, I’ve done some things wrong, and they’ve done some things wrong. This isn’t so much a warning as just me documenting my experiences so that other people can learn from them. If you currently sell links from your websites you may want to read this.

Talk about ups and downs, I just about think I’ve got something new making money when yet another income source comes under threat. This time it’s the small amount I make with TLA.
I have a domain that’s been a home page PR4 since the very first days of Page Rank. It slipped to a 3 at the last update, which I could understand (some links have got very old) but I’ve just checked now and it’s a big fat ZERO! There are 3 or 4 pages on that domain (out of hundreds) that contain links sold through Text-Link-Ads. Other than that it’s full of top quality original content and is an authority website on a few subjects, holding great rankings. The whole domain has seen it’s page rank slashed. So the questions is this, for the sake of a few hundred dollars a month is it really worth selling links with Text-Link-Ads and having the Google PR penalty? Whilst a PR penalty isn’t affecting my rankings at the moment is there a chance it will in the future?

In my ongoing mission to find any MMO (make money online) product that actually delivers even half of what it promises I threw a few notes at this. We all want to make more money with Adsense right? Well I was getting that much spam about Adsense Treasure that I had very little doubt that it was in fact going to be average at best but the price was cheap enough. A little while later and I think I’ve got enough information to give an opinion.

Anonymity in the modern internet age is something that can be very important yet very hard to achieve. Simply by buying a domain name your personal details will be splashed all over the internet. One of the ways of avoiding this is to use a secrecy registration service, perhaps the best known of these is the one that GoDaddy uses – Domains By Proxy. This is a warning though, your privacy may not be as private as you’d hoped for.

I can’t believe how many people (i.e. MMO bloggers) are still insisting that now is the PERFECT time to buy shares! Buy low sell high, the price can’t get any lower can it? Well of course it can you tits! I’ve got plenty of real life examples of people in the last 3 months who chucked large amounts of money at shares in the hope of a “long term” investment who chances are will not see any sort of a decent return
