New $100 Dollar Bill

The United States Treasury has just unveiled a new version of the $100.00 dollar bill. This bill is supposed to make it harder for people to counterfeit. It has a 5 or so anti-counterfeit bits including.

  1. 3-D Security Ribbon
  2. Bell in the Inkwell
  3. Portrait Watermark
  4. Security Thread
  5. Color Shifting 100

All in all a good loocking bill. I can’t remember the last time I had a $100 bill however as almost everything i purchase over $30 is with a card anyway. What do you think about the new bill?

US Economic Outlook for 2010

Well I’m not an economist by any measure, but I’m going to try to give a rough summation of what the “pro’s” are saying. Let me first start off by saying the “Pro’s” have had a bad habit of being really off the mark. Some examples you ask? Dot Com Bubble and the Real Estate Bubble. Those have caused 2 major recessions, and some may argue one recession and one depression. Continue reading …

Chitika Select Review

Chitika Select

Chitika Select

Here is our Chitika Select Review. They seem to be pretty excited about it, and to tell you the truth I think it’s a great idea.  Really.

Chitika has a huge customer base, possibly only second to Google Adsense. Chitika Select is going to be a great ad to help monetize your site. Since they have nearly dropped their Chitika Linx product they really did need something more for both their advertisers and their publishers.

We’ve started this page, and will be trying them out Monday March the 8th 2010. We’ll post our info here and you are more than welcome to post your opinion on the product. Check out Chitika Select Here.

Check back this week for a full review on the chitika select  product.

Well I’ve displayed a few hundred thousand chitika select ads, and made an average cpm of .04 (thats 4 cents per thousand ads)

These where displayed across 3 large websites that get good quality traffic. I have to give Chitika Select a 1 out of 5 or something like that, really horrible ad revenue system.  They say its cpm, but it is really cpc. I’ve put it on a few sites that got 0 clicks, and had a  0.00 cpm. Im sure the advertisers love the solution, but for publishers its just awful.

If anyone else has anything to say please tell me. Just post your review below. Please no spamming the post with links however.

If you want to display a real CPM ad try Tribal Fusion or similar.

What the Internet Means to Business

Big Business

Big Business

If you were to tell someone 20 years ago that the average Joe would be able to one day compete with Wallmart, K-Mart, Target and any other retail giant on a item by item basis from the privacy of their own home you would most likely have ended up in the loony bin. No offense to those in the loony bin, I’d be there if they could just catch me. But anyway…

This is what the internet means internet brings.  It gives people like me and you direct access to the buyers, and it does it for free. Continue reading …

Webmasters Don’t Waste Your Time

Wasting Time

Wasting Time

Don’t waste your time doing something you hate. One of the most important lessons I’ve learned over the past 12 years is that it is not worth your time to create a site about something you don’t like, just because “thats where the money is”. Example site topics include;  ringtones, credit cards, attorneys, doctors, loans, housing, drugs (the legal kinds), and anything else at the top on the top adsense keywords list. Continue reading …
