Creating Passionate Users I have followed this blog for a while since I was introduced to it a while back (by who I do not remember). Graphics like the one below are their hallmark and a lot of what they say seems like common sense. Reminds me of a real life Dilbert of kinds.

    Making Money From Blog Archives Interesting article. I did not get a chance to read through all of it, but it seems as if my greatest earners have been my archives (not here, but elsewhere); thus the interest. (3)

  • CNN Blog Producer

    CNN Blog Producer Producer will cover web-logs (blogs), pod-casts, and other internet-based forms of new media. The web producer will locate, research, and report on blogs and web sites that include news, politics, policy, commentary, and other information of value to our viewers. The results will be daily television segments reporting on this area of the media. This person will be responsible for producing both the editorial content and also the graphic and video elements necessary to develop each segment. This person will also report on-air as needed. I wonder how long these “blogging bubble” jobs are going to last before they get absorbed into mainstream media positions. Thanks Blog Herald (2)

  • Yahoo unveils blog search tool

    Yahoo unveils blog search tool Is this an attempt to one up Google blog search or as Jeremy says, ( I can’t find the post right now) did Yahoo already have blog search in the works but was not timely enough to release it before Google? In any case, you judge the results. I personally think they still need a lot more data and more fine tuning and the results page make it look like Feedster (or does Feedster look like Yahoo?) (4)

Server moved again 13comments

Author: Mark Ghosh Category: General

The server move is done again and this time I hope to not fat finger anything. I did lose a large amount of traffic from Google and all my blogs and my revenue seems to have suffered tremendously from making this change. Here is to a lifetime of learning.

In case people are wondering, I decided to get a 1and1 root server. It was at the best price point and there were features I really appreciate. Here is my affiliate link for 1and1.

Thanks to everyone for being patient.

PS: If you sign up for 1and1 through my affiliate link, it helps me with my hosting charges. ;)

  • Macworld: The best blogging tools for the Mac

    Macworld: The best blogging tools for the MacRight now, the blogging tools most popular with Mac users are TypePad and Movable Type, both from Six Apart; Blogspot and Blogger, from Blogger (now part of Google); and WordPress, an open-source tool. These five tools range in power and complexity from simple-but-limited (TypePad, Blogger, and Blogspot) to do-pretty-much-anything-but-may-require-coding (WordPress). Movable Type is somewhere between these two extremes. Thanks Google Alerts (1)

Is webstats4u (formerly Nedstat) hurting your site? 10comments

Author: Mark Ghosh Category: General

Is webstats4u (formerly Nedstat) hurting your site? All traces of Nedstat and/or webstats4u have been removed from all of my sites. There are many reasons for this removal.

  • The popups were just pure annoying
  • The popups might be violating AdSense (and other ad package) policies in spite of the fact that the popups were not contextual.
  • Though there is no empirical data to prove it, I have read in the past that popups might reduce Google traffic
  • Though there is no empirical data to prove it, I know for a fact that a large percentage of web visitors hate popups ;)
  • I refuse to allow the kind of tactics that webstats4u has decided to employ
  • There are way too many good online statistics packages (free ones) for anyone to continue using webstats4u

In addition to the above, I would like to clear IceRocket of any wrongdoing. The popups were a result of webstats4u and NOT IceRocket.
