Don’t know where to start? Started but don’t know what to do? Frustrated that your website isn’t making any money? To be honest we’ve all been there but its more important to stay focused on the main goals. The best advice I’ve received so far is to “just do it.” Sitting there wondering what could be will never get you anywhere. Get out there try different ideas that will be the only way! The advice may seem cliche but when it all boils down, your results are directly proportionate to your effort.
You don’t know where to start?
Ask yourself about a topic you are truly excited to talk about, once you find it, start a blog. If blogging is not for you there are plenty of other options. A good way to find ideas is search on Ebay, Sitepoint, Digitalpoint and see what other types of sites are being sold. The ideas are endless! Don’t just sit here thinking that you have no idea what to do, just go now and do it!
You have a website but there isn’t traffic?
Go comment on similar blogs with follow links, post on forums with your link in signature, add your link to directories, create backlinks with more popular sites! Give it time, traffic will come if you have good genuine content. It is frustrating at times but when the day comes it will be all worth it. I’ve sat in front of the monitor watching pennies roll in day after day until suddenly it turned into $1/day then $2 then $3 and so on! Keep your attitude positive and just do it!
You have traffic but revenue is low?
Move the ads around and change things! There is no straight formula for how much a specific website should make. Maybe yours isn’t built for Adsense? Try affiliate programs, try pay per impression ads! There WILL be something that works but only you will be able to find it. You just have to do it to find out!
It is really easy to lose sight of your goals when your websites aren’t rolling in the dough. Refocus, give it time, hit it hard and just do it! I promise one day it will pay off.

Alright this might be a little off topic but I thought this was interesting and low balling even for Best Buy:
Only problem is….. Yes you are right! Linux is FREE. Oh Oh and they can have their awesome Geek Squad install it for only an additional $129.99. Seems like Best Buy is trying to sell something free for money? First time in history thats done right? *cough Bottled *cough Water.
Too F-in bad Best Buy that we will not be trixied by your silly marketing and for those of us that don’t know better here you go to download your free copy of Ubuntu Linux .
To finish it off -
“Ubuntu will always be free to download, free to use and free to distribute to others. With these goals in mind, Ubuntu aims to be the most widely used Linux system, and is the centre of a global open source software ecosystem.” -Ubuntu.com

If you haven’t notice we switched themes! Partly because it was getting a little old but also since it did not work in Internet Explorer(the devil) 6.0! Oh and if you haven’t already the new kickass Firefox 3.0 is out so go get it!
When I was testing the initial theme, it worked in both Firefox and IE 7.0 perfectly but I totally forgot about IE 6.0! Although its an older version the demographics of users seem pretty high. On our sites it still holds about 10% or so and each and every one of you is important to us :) Here is an IE tab plugin for us awesome Firefox users!
If you want to test further on different browsers/platforms:

Sorry guys I left you hanging and without a notice. Somewhere in between all of April till now the motivation just got swept under the table to blog. I’ve visited the site plenty of times just to look and see, but it saddens me that I gave up.
So here I am again posting/complaining/explaining all at once that I’m down but not out.
I won’t be the first to do it and surely not the last but why does this happen? People run out of ideas to write, motivation to write or the site just didn’t show any potential. You put all this work into it and in the end no one comes to read what you have to say. We’ll I’ve read before that its not what you post on your blog its what you don’t that defines your blog. I’m here to scratch that and say post whatever the hell you want and its better than not posting at all!
Nate and I will be here to stay and posts will keep flowing! Good news is I’ve had quite some time to decide about all the topics to write and they will come shortly so stay posted I know I know… but trust me once more k k?
If you are one that gave up on your blog as well maybe its a time to renew it just like me. Its never too late so give it a shot.

First and foremost sorry for the long waits without updates. I’ve been very busy with a new startup project but don’t worry I didn’t forget about you guys. I promise I’ll write you something worth your wait this weekend!
Until then go make some money, greenbacks, clams, bucks or whatever you like to call it! $$$
p.s. yes that was partly from a MCD commercial.

So this is what my Universities business school’s parking ramp is like:
What was I thinking when I chose Comp Sci over this?
Lets go over the cars from left to right:
Bmw M3, Acura Tsx, Porsche Cayenne S, Bmw M3, Porsche Cayenne Turbo.
I understand that its no Ferrari or anything but I have rough estimate about 250-300k worth of cars in those 5 parking spots. Now don’t bite its a rough estimate. Alright have a great April Fools day and no this wasn’t a joke.
