Women With Money-Saving Tips
15 February 2007Since a number of readers have blogs of their own, I thought I’d pass along a chance to get yourself some magazine exposure: Helen, a reporter from a magazine called First for Women, is looking for women with money-saving tips for an article. “The tips could be about how to save money when planning a [...]
Escaping the Sandbox
30 November 2006I previously have made several posts here and here about the phenomenon called the “Google Sandbox” - something that many people who launch brand new websites see. In essence, Google blocks new sites from getting any visitors through its search engine until enough various elements of the site show that it can be trusted. A [...]
Another Great Real Estate Blog
26 October 2006Buying a house has been on my mind lately, because I’m planning to do it in 9 months or so and am busily saving up the down payment. After running across some great blogs about real estate and finance just through following links in other blogs, I decided to search for blogs specific to areas [...]
The Google Sandbox Revisited
13 October 2006Greg from Bloodhound Blog has a post on his experience launching a new site promoting an individual home. He’s skeptical about whether or not the “Google Sandbox” exists - but in a more recent post suggests that his early results with that site may have disappeared. This will probably only be of interest to anyone [...]
Weird Business Ideas That Actually Made Money
28 September 2006There’s a neat blog I just ran across called Uncommon Business.

Blogoff - 100 Posts In a Day
26 September 2006Greg at BloodhoundBlog and Ardell at SearchingSeattle are having a “blogoff,” competing to try to get to 100 posts in 24 hours. I have to say I’m impressed, especially because these aren’t Instapundit-style “Bush and the Democrats blend some puppies. Heh. Read the whole thing.” posts either. Some of the ones I liked:
From Greg:

Comments Enabled, Theme Updated
22 September 2006After HC from One Big Mortarboard asked me why I’d decided to use a forum on this site instead of traditional comments, I started looking into it and discovered I’d pretty much had them disabled thinking it was a spam prevention option. Trackbacks always worked, so I didn’t realize it was that difficult to go [...]

21 August 2006For those of you into saving money by trying to be more frugal, there’s a good blog over at Momma and the Boys Living on A Budget that posts weekly roundups of various tips on being frugal from other blogs called Thrifty Tips Thursday. It’s something to check out if you’re living on a tighter [...]
Change Your Name to Your Website
16 August 2006That’s the newest promotion effort, apparently. So says Ringling beats animals.com and some other vegan activists who promote their web sites by legally changing their names to the same thing. Personally, I think I’ll be keeping my legal name, but if you really, really want people to hear about your website or blog…
