Why There Are No Medals For Registering Olympic Related Domain Names
If you are thinking of registering an Olympic related domain name to cash in on the Games coming to London this year, here’s a few words of advice. Don’t bother. This is something that I’ve already mentioned on Twitter and Facebook, but I’m currently receiving one or two emails a week from people who have [...]
One Of The Worst Examples Of Google AdSense Placement That I’ve Seen In A Long Time
I recently came across one of the worst examples of Google AdSense placement I have seen on a website in a very long time. It was actually on a merchant’s website that I had visited with my affiliate hat on, looking for new products to promote. I won’t mention them by name because I’ve no [...]
Why Haven’t Cashback Sites Killed Affiliate Marketing?
What I’m about to say will shock and disappoint you (especially if you’re my Mum). Not everyone likes my book, Get Out While You Can. Sad, but true. Indeed, according to a spate of reviews that appeared on Amazon within a few hours of each other, some people even hate it. One reviewer describes it [...]
Now I Know How Not To Publish A Book, I’m Writing Another One!
I’ve been so busy doing everything and nothing that I completely forgot that it’s a year ago, almost to the day, that my book, Get Out While You Can – Escape The Rat Race went on sale for the first time. As book launches go, there have been better. Heavy snow meant that the “next [...]
Get Out While You Can Featured On BBC Click!
I got an early Christmas present today when the BBC TV technology programme, Click, did a feature on new e-readers like the Kindle Fire and the Kobo. When discussing the Kindle Fire, the featured book on the screen is none other than Get Out While You Can! Not sure if it will have any effect [...]
SEO Ranking Factors – What Really Helps Web Pages Rank In Search Engines
I first discovered Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) about ten years ago completely by accident. Looking at the stats for a music website, I was surprised to see that monthly visitor numbers had rocketed thanks to just one page. It was a page that featured an interview with punk rock legends, The Vibrators. It probably won’t [...]
Parcel2Go – Does This Make Sense To You?
I’m a big fan of Parcel2Go and use them regularly to send parcels. I get to compare prices across well-known couriers and it usually works like clockwork. I book a collection in the evening, the next day a van turns up, the driver collects my packages, and they are then delivered to their destination a [...]
Starting An Online Business – Tax, VAT And Other Formalities
Our education system fails our children, and therefore society, in many ways. Only 67% of eleven year olds in England left primary school last year having met the expected standards in reading, writing and maths. That equates to almost 183,000 children going on to secondary school without a good enough grasp of the “three Rs” [...]
Google AdSense To Include Gambling-Related Ads From October!
I don’t write about Google Adsense as much as I probably should do. I suppose it’s because once you place the relevant code on your pages, you can forget about it. Google works its magic behind the scenes to deliver the ads that appear on your pages, leaving you to concentrate on getting the visitors [...]
What Do You Get When You Cross Domain Names With Football’s Transfer Window?
Like a lot of football fans, I found myself caught up in the media frenzy that surrounds the closing of the summer transfer window on the last day of August. I was suddenly interested in who the likes of Stoke City and QPR were signing, let alone the usual suspects when it comes to big [...]
