Performancing posted Lessons from an SEO Contest. It’s a pretty good starting place for getting your site on the radar. I’m developing a personal interest in SEO, and I’ve done a decent amount on my own sites (not that it seems to be helping - I didn’t say I was good at it yet).
Here’s a […]

Like I said, I’ve started a niche blog. Everything is set up and I’ve already made a few posts. I think it definitely has potential. The niche is somewhat unfulfilled right now, which is a bit of a double-edged sword. Obviously, there’s a hole that has the potential to be filled (profitably). On the other […]

I finally did it. I set up a niche blog. It’s a blog all about guitars. I’m pretty excited. I would like to, once again, briefly state my disgust and rage with domain squatters.
I hate them.
Ok, that’s all.
I’ve been playing with a number of different adsense plug-ins. I’ve finally settled on one, MightyAdsense. It’s an […]

I recently wrote a guest post on Green Llama entitled The Importance of Choosing a Niche. It’s really gotten the ol’ brain chuggin away on the topic. I’d love to start another blog that can bring in some cash. There’s a conversation going on in the comments about choosing the right niche. One important part […]

I’m joining the IFollow revolution. I’d actually turned off ‘no follow’ a few weeks ago, but never mentioned it. Now that there’s an official movement, I wanna be seen sitting at the cool table in the cafeteria.

I guess I’ll jump on the bandwagon. This whole code of conduct thing is ridiculous. Honestly, I find it a bit pretentious. We’re really not that important. Bloggers make up a community, or a series of communities, but there’s very little legal pretense in what we do. Sure, you wouldn’t want to make a habit […]

It appears that I’ve been tagged for obsessive thoughts by Leroy over at Green Llama. I’m to list 5 obsessions that I have and then tag some other bloggers to do the same when I’m finished.

Spelling/Grammar - I may not always get it right myself, but I obsess over attempting to. I proofread everything I […]

I’m shopping around for a good hosting company. Rotten Bananas is currently piggybacking on my buddy’s BlueHost account because, well, he has the space, and I’m cheap. But, I have a few ideas for new projects, and I’ll inevitably need some additional hosting, so I figure I should find something sooner rather than later.

I spend a lot of time listening to instrumental rock. My taste in music is constantly evolving, but this phase has stuck around for quite a while. I still listen to lots of other stuff, but I really get into the likes of Explosions in the Sky, 65 Days of Static, God is an Astronaut, […]

Well, I’ve given into the ‘The Good Blogs’ phenomenon. Hopefully it will bring me some extra traffic and send some to my worthy peers. Additionally, I’ve added Google’s AdSense to the sidebar.
My plan was always to monetize this site, so I want to see how that works out. Right now it’s displaying rug ads, per […]
