I logged into my AdWords account today and found a notice advising me I could set which hours and days I want my ads running.
This is potentially awesome: if you notice all your sales tend to happen on the weekend, you could set your ads to start running Friday morning or evening through [...]

…whatever they’re calling themselves these days.
I tried to cancel my account today, and the email address you’re supposed to use (sales@jlhost.com) is full, so my email came back undeliverable. It’s a little disturbing when a host makes it difficult/impossible to cancel your account in the way they suggest, isn’t it?

…according to Business Opportunities Weblog, anyway.

My blog is worth $80,164.68.How much is your blog worth?

Yesterday I came home and grabbed the mail. In it was my AdBrite check for the month, which was a bit higher than I expected. (Net-whatever earnings always through off my calculations.) So I sat down and made out a deposit slip, because I had some other checks I also needed to [...]
