Viral linking, the act of passing a list of blog links from site to site to grow everyone’s linkbacks and traffic, doesn’t have to be a dull, copy-and-paste job featuring a list of site names. *cough*
Check out Pirate Links by DCR Blogs (found via yet another check of my Technorati page to see who links […]

A good site tagline (your subheading) can make all the difference. Daily Blog Tips has linked to some of the funniest taglines on the internet. Can you name any others?
The original tagline on RichMinx.com was ‘You had me at high yield’, back when all I talked about was money. As more and more blogging/web posts […]

Those three magic words ‘make money online’ appear in more places than Paris Hilton (almost). But to make money, do we need to spend money first?
I am generally reluctant to spend money online because ‘most everything is free: entertainment, information, videos of Paris’s extra-curricular activities, you name it. And there are many ways to make […]

Would you get a tattoo of your favorite blog/site? I ask because a fan of the Digital Point forums and of Shoemoney has tattooed himself (link found via SelfMadeMinds).
I have nothing against tattoos, in fact I have one myself. But as much as I love certain sites I would not ink myself permanently with their […]

On a personal but slightly money-related note, I’ve found somewhere to live! In Wellington, New Zealand’s capital city and my old hometown, which I haven’t lived in for 12 years (since I finished high school). One of the advantages of living in Wellington is that it’s surrounded - almost - by the sea and is […]

Yesterday I announced my first AdSense check and decided to use the $114 to pay off my overdraft.
Today I un-decided that and instead invested the money back into the Internetz. I have purchased a Million Dollar Wiki page after reading about it on RyanShamus.com and JohnChow.com. I’ll tell you which page in a few days, […]

Well hallelujah and break out the champagne, my first-ever Google AdSense check has arrived in the mail! I’d set up direct wiring, but never mind, better late than never. The check is for $144. I could photograph myself holding it like Shoemoney did, but his check was worth a bit more.

I just had a friend visiting, an old and close friend who I met over 10 years ago when we were just starting university/college and lived together in a madcap, very budget student hostel. Picture a campus version of Alcatraz, with nice people but gloomy cells for rooms, bolted-down furniture and overcooked mystery slop for […]
