Today I’m going to show you why most people who use affiliate links to get commissions from web hosting sites, will never make any money. This post is brought to you by WebHostingChoice.com.

My site was down (for four days) earlier this week and it’s forced me to switch hosting providers to HostGator. It was a referral from an old school friend of mine, Dimitri Vasdekis who runs a quality headphones store from his home at HeadSonic. Can’t wait to see how it turns out.

A while ago, sponsors of MiniRiders approached us regarding the limited search capability of the site’s original search engine.

Well it looks like I’m ranked highly for personal branding. A while back when I started this blog I thought I’d turn it into a resource about personal branding. Since then, I’ve refined the purpose of this blog to document what I do to run my sites and draw traffic to them. All this means is that the optimisation I initially did on this site for personal branding is finally… Continue reading
After a month of inactivity, several links from friends of mine and a few glances at my astonishing 14 daily RSS subscribers, I’ve finally found it in me to pick up where I left.
So, what’s new?
