What a disappointment

By Greg - Last updated: Tuesday, October 23, 2007

A few days ago I posted Do it yourself or get someone else to do it well today I was really disappointed when the programmer I selected showed me what he has done so far. He has taken two weeks so far to basically create a registration and log in routine. Once logged in nothing [...]

Do it yourself or get someone else to do it?

By Greg - Last updated: Saturday, October 20, 2007

As many of you know I have been wanting to learn PHP but as of yet I have not managed to get myself motivated enough to do it. Anyway two weeks ago  I thought I would post a project on Scriptlance to get someone to develop aPHP script for me. It was for a site [...]

By Greg - Last updated: Tuesday, October 16, 2007

A colleague of mine has just launched Plug a Blog where you can add a link to your blog for free, although you are free to add a link to your or someone elses blog the site is still going through some refinement. At the time of writing, Plug a Blog does not specify that [...]

Google Limits?

By Greg - Last updated: Friday, October 12, 2007

This may sound strange but I do have to wonder if Google do have some kind of limit set for a site. Let me explain. Over the past year I have seen traffic to Yzoo.co.uk go up and down, and this in turn effects the amount of income it brings in. The problem is that [...]

A response from Payperpost

By Greg - Last updated: Wednesday, October 10, 2007

At last, my blogs has been reviewed by payperpost.com, it has taken them two weeks to review my small blog and then they rejected it as not meeting their requirements. The strange thing is, although the blog is not good enough for them, they are still sending me emails of new ‘offers’ that I can’t [...]

Well eventually 123reg.co.uk have admitted taking to much money from me and not renewing my two domains. It took a whole week for them to admit it but they have. Their support desk have told me that they have credited my card for the amount in full but what about the phone calls at 10p [...]

Getting paid to post

By Greg - Last updated: Wednesday, October 3, 2007

After posting yesterday about Payperpost I decided to sign up at Blogitive which appears to be a similar sort of thing. Last evening I then received a bulk email from Payperpost giving details of an ‘offer’, an offer being an advertiser wanting their site/product/service blogged about. I thought this must be a good sign so [...]

PayPerPost

By Greg - Last updated: Tuesday, October 2, 2007

Last Tuesday I registered with Pay Per Post which allows bloggers to write an independent review of a website, product or service etc and earn a few dollars in the process. The idea is simple, bloggers register their blog which is then reviewed to ensure it meets with their criteria. If your blog doesn’t you [...]

I stumbled accross this site yesterday which listed 43ads.com as the ‘Site of the month’ for October 2006. As most of you know, I did get involved with the pixel ad sites a couple of years ago but this was something I hadn’t seen before and I liked it. Basically there are 43 advertising spots [...]
