My first thoughts on WordPress 2.5
You can’t tell from looking at it, but this blog is running the latest and greatest version of WordPress. As a matter of fact, SpunPuppy has run a testing version of WordPress since it went live. It was only today I remembered that I hadn’t updated the test code for a while, so I ran [...]
In response to Mr. Spirko
O.K. I gave my opinion on the topic of Izea and Google. In doing so I leveled some criticism at Jack Spirko of Comtechnews regarding this post.
There was a bit of confusion in the process, as my spam filters ate Jack’s response without giving me the opportunity to moderate it. Jack was understandably upset over [...]
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.
My food blog at cbsop was picked up by a food blog advertising network, which [...]
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.
Even [...]
A slight hurdle - Gaining more blog traffic, a 30 day adventure in blogging - Day 4
It seems I’m going to have to change the rules o the game a bit. CbsoP has gained a sponsor and will have to be removed from this running experiment. If the deal I’m working on goes through, the traffic to that blog will skyrocket, thereby making any numbers given here useless.
In the end, I [...]

Part four in a series on driving more traffic to your blog in 30 days.
So, have you been playing along? If so, you should probably know what your routine for the day should have been. If not, I’ll recap.
Post a new entry to your blog (or blogs) and if possible, mention someone else’s [...]
After a stall - Gaining more blog traffic, a 30 day adventure in blogging - Day 3
There are probably a few of you out there who’ve been wondering what happened to the author of this series over the past two days. Honestly, it ws something called a weekend, and a teething one year old… It was my actual life, and those can interrupt even the most dedicated of us. I deviated [...]
