One important strategy that’s outlined in Everything I Know About Making Money on the Interweb is called Cross-Pollination Marketing.
There are a few different elements to this business / marketing strategy.
One of them addresses the fundamental problem that:
Most people in one industry simply follow the herd, implementing all of the same strategies of the leaders in […]
Was browsing around on on istockphoto and came across the above image.
SNL could parody this so well. Here’s what I’m thinking they said at the photo shoot for the above image
Ok, this shoot is for “Questionable Businessman.”
Hmm…. let’s see.
Ok - got any cigarettes? Let’s have you smoking… and ok, let’s check the prop […]
Was reading a post earlier today over at JohnChow.com.
Apparently he is getting an effective $27 CPM on his blog.
Anyone who builds advertising-based sites knows that this number is absolutely freakin insane!
Back in the dot-com days, sites like Wired and NYTimes were really killing it when they made $20 CPMs. The little guys were killing […]
Update: traffic graph updated. Day 2 stayed strong as well coming in @ 400+ visitors and 600+ pageviews. Note: this was not 100% news.YC traffic; some reddit, etc.
This probably won’t last long.
With just 3 upvotes, a story on here reached the front-page (top 15 or so) of news.ycombinator.com.

To get WordPress K2 to work with the awesome WP Widgets plugin, you have you use a legacy version of the K2 theme. The latest K2 theme discontinues support of Widgets. Its alternative (sidebar modules) seemed very buggy and didn’t actually work for me.
K2 0.9.1 works great, with one caveat. Finally checked […]
I got another spam from a company that’s looking for RoR devs. I replied back that I might be willing to chat with them to see what they’re up to…
But I remembered previous emails saying they are looking for engineers who want to work 80 hours a week… I explained, that’s a no go […]
Here are some great slides on how Twitter scales Ruby on Rails.
If Twitter keeps up this growth, it should finally put to rest the “but will RoR scale?” meme.
I’m getting back into the PHP saddle a bit — just so I can whip out a few WordPress widgets & plugins.
WP Widgets are surprisingly easy to develop. I’ve only had to google so far for very few PHP commands that I’ve forgotten since last touching the language (1+ year ago). (to be […]
“A Runtime Error has occurred”
Note: this is meant to be humor. I know there are some bright devs at MS (out of what, all 70k+ employees they have now) and this particular issue is not 100% Microsoft’s fault. They can’t control 100% what people put out there on the web…
Still… it’s pretty goddamned […]
One of the biggest things I regret in my technical career is not becoming more of a *nix ninja earlier.
Macs were always way too expensive, and not nearly as cool (in my circle) anyway, so getting one was never really an option. (and, it only would’ve helped once macs came with OS X)
So I was […]
