Came to see parents and relatives after 2 years, so decided to stay for a longer period so they can get fed up with me and I can expire for another 2-3 years again ;) I wonder if its the air over here, or just the friends that don't respect the "I am working, can't come out" but either way, without doing anything It seems like I am busy all the time and no work has been done the way it should. Finally, on 19th I am going on vocation, so until then (these last few days) I have to give up my best and make sure i won't remain without money after the vocations LoL. Catch you back on September. Nice to hear you are doing good (well and experimenting the PPC, even tho it burns a bit). <em>SEO Optimization's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Dnseonet/~3/364306153/'>WebCEO Summer Discounts</a></em> The worst is that I am not taking a break and neither am busy (that sucks I know), its just everything is disorganized where I am now (as you can see…in Macedonia).

If they can generate enough marketing buzz they will get new visitors everyday. And old internet marketers would know that old visitors become blind to ad placements and affiliate placements. It's the new visitors who can bring in the required revenue :) It's good to see that the contest was real and they did select a winner :)) But it doesn't matter much because they didn't actually pay up :P Internet is a big place and people don’t spend time on retaining subscribers / customers.

Things are still good around here, spending lots of money on this and that, trying new things. Put a pile of cash into PPC affiliate marketing and gut burnt badly again, ou know, just the usual. Oh yeah, I made the blod DoFollow as well which seemed to have had a posiotive impact on visiotr numbers and commenters! :) Jeet: The worst of it was I still kept my RSS subscription to them for a month or so afterwards. I think most of these comps are a way of getting subscribers who will forget to unsubscribe. Beth: That was the first time I'd ever won anything either, I was really excited about the $100, not like it's a lot of money but just the actual winning of a real physical prize.....or so I thought.

I always wonder if the announced winners are real and if they actually receive their prizes. Unfortunately, I'm skeptical of contests because I've never really won any! That’s horrible.

"Not delivering" on a promise can definitely hurt any business's reputation and in online business reputation still goes a long way :) For once I thought you won’t be sharing the contest URLs who refused to pay up. “Not delivering” on a promise can definitely hurt any business’s reputation and in online business reputation still goes a long way :)
