The Digg Revolt - Is Digg in trouble?

Posted on January 24th, 2008 as Sites, Technology

Over at cornwallseo he published an awesome article about the digg revolt. I wonder though is the beginning of the end for Digg or will people just moan and groan? With Digg’s new algorithm which makes it harder to get a post noticed, the auto-bury list which they deny, and lack of communication (taking the servers down with no notice for updates) how many times do they have to shoot themselves in the foot before people go elsewhere?

Comment more and win my contest

Posted on January 24th, 2008 as Contests

I had a lot of success with my last contest and decided to run another one. I keep looking at my traffic and my numbers are okay (still low but its a new blog) but my comments are low. To give some incentive I am going to run a new contest. The top commenter for this month will win $10 through paypal or amazon your choice.

My only catch is no spam comments like “nice article” or “good post” I am looking for actual input.  That is it, how could it be any harder?

A few minor site changes

Posted on January 24th, 2008 as Site News, Sites

I got around to doing some updates to the design of the site last night. I have wanted to change the footer around and update it so there where plug ins that where actually working. I am not a designer or a coder so I struggled for 3 hours and after breaking the footer multiple times I decided I needed some help. After getting the code fixed and cleaned up from my mistakes it looks good. Now in the footer you will see the top posts and top commenter’s and the recent comments box was already there. Also when I was working on the site I opened it in Internet Explorer and saw there was a box in the header for an image but the image was broke. I normally don’t use IE and FireFox doesn’t show this problem. There used to be two headers on this original theme so I imagine that why that was happing but it is fixed now.

So a few minor changes but I like that it some who my top commenter’s on the site. It gives some credit to the people who post on here.

Projects that never became or have yet to become

Unfinished Project

How many projects have you started that you never completed or realized it was not a great idea once you got started?

I was logged into today checking some settings on a domain I was transferring and I realized that I own 65 domains. I know to some people that it’s not a lot but 2 months ago I think I had 3. At first I was in shock and did not realize I had so many then I looked at my list and it started to make sense I just never kept an actual number of how many I owned. I know to become an internet entrepreneur it involves owning and managing sites but I did not think I would acquire so many so fast. Read the rest of this entry »
