Thanks, Mark

For including me in this list of top affiliate marketing blogs here. I’m getting some nice traffic from that page.

Word on the street

Date May 29, 2007

Something exciting happened this weekend. One of my authors on Project B-2 Bomber attended a convention about the topic of that site. While there, she wore a CafePress shirt advertising the site.
People came up to her and said they were readers of the site and talked about how much they enjoyed it.
I don’t think any [...]

Project Mai Tai Update - over 100 uniques per day

Date April 7, 2007

Project Mai Tai is still progressing about like similar sites I’ve had that weren’t banned by Google. Mai Tai has attracted a link or two from a fairly high-traffic site in its niche, and that seems to be bringing in most of the visitors. Last month, the daily visitors were between about 15 [...]

Project Mai Tai - Digg Traffic

Date March 29, 2007

Yesterday I reported that I’d done something I hoped would significantly boost Mai Tai’s traffic. While I was at it, I also dugg one of my posts.
The thing I did to significantly boost traffic hasn’t come through yet - we’ll see if it does. The Digg effect, however, brought me 79 new visitors [...]

My first attempt at a Digg post

Date March 26, 2007

I had an idea for a post that could maybe be right for Digg (I’ve been reading a lot about Digg lately). I’ve posted the story on another site, submitted it to Digg, and proceeded to wait and see what happens.
My maximum number of Diggs on anything has to be around 3. I [...]

Linkbait not a total failure

Date March 6, 2007

It might be slightly premature to refer to my latest linkbait campaign on Project B-2 Bomber as a “success”, but it didn’t totally flop from a lack of interest like some of the others. It’s getting responses on site, at least: whether or not people are telling their friends, I don’t know yet. [...]

Directories going paid

Date March 5, 2007

All my directories now require a reciprocal link for free links, and offer paid options for regular non-recip links and featured links. I started these directories a couple of years ago and kept them completely free all that time, but now with the amount of spam I have to clear out of them every [...]

StumbleUpon boosting B-2 Bomber

Date January 26, 2007

This month, StumbleUpon decided to send over 400 visitors to my site that I call Project B-2 Bomber.  I have no idea why, since I can’t really figure out how StumbleUpon decides what URL’s to give you, but I have to say this is way better than any social bookmarking site I’ve gotten results from.
StumbleUpon [...]

Robots.txt file

Date December 12, 2006

I’m an idiot. Google continues not to index my relatively new site, Project Mai Tai. Possible reason? I forgot to create a robots.txt file for it! D’oh!
I’ve heard Google will bounce a site for not having that. If that’s what’s been keeping me out, I’m happy to say the Google [...]

Mai Tai gets an MSN search!

Date October 28, 2006

My Project Mai Tai is now the proud owner of the #12 spot on MSN’s live search for a search term that we’re projecting over 3 people will search in the next decade! To celebrate this momentous milestone, I smiled briefly. I considered putting my fist into the air and saying, “Yes!” but [...]
