Are Izea “Allies” doing more harm than good?
Before I continue, I need to point out that I use PayPerPost to monetize three of my blogs, one of which is fairly popular. in that sense, this is written from the standpoint of a Postie who is caught up in all of this whether he likes it or not.
In the ongoing battle between [...]
Izea, Page Rank and the ongoing slap-down
I’ve already stated that I took a hit to my Google page rank on any blog I host that is running Izea (formerly PayPerPost) sponsored ads. The big G took this action a step further a few days ago and removed all PR from my primary blog, dropping it from a PR 3 to a [...]
Gaining more blog trafic in 30 days - The resurrection.
When I started the frst experiment in incresing blog traffic in 30 days several things happened. Some were expected (such as increased traffic!), some were not. Unfortunately, the things that I did not expect invalidated the results of the experiment completely.

It’s not often that I come across a WordPress theme that gets me excited. Most themes out there are nothing more than souped up versions of the default WP theme. Kubrick. While I have nothing against a simple layout, the fact of the matter is that most of the sites I run require [...]

For the first [...]
More Thoughts on PayPerPost vs. Page Rank
As promised, here’s part two in my ongoing reserch concerning PayPerPost and page rank.
Not many people seem to be screaming very loudly. AffiliateWatcher.com posted these thoughts concerning the latest move by Google. I tend to agree that there is little or nothing a blogger or even a group of bloggers can do to [...]
PayPerPost and Page Rank
If you’re using PayPerPost to monetize your blog you probably noticed at least a slight drop in your page rank in the last Google update. Both of the blogs that I run PPP sponsored posts on lost at least 1 point in the last update, even though the number of inbound links had nearly doubled.

Ugh! New teeth, new plugins and the death of a project.
Well, the 30 days project hit a wall because of two very different but equally distracting issues in my “every day life”. First, CbsoP was accepted into a blog advertising network, which is driving the numbers higher than I could have managed on my own, therefore invalidating those statistics. (It’s a good thing, just bad [...]
