WordPress Database Crash

Just to let you know, I lost my last couple of posts because my WordPress MySQL database got corrupted. And when I tried to repair it using HostGator’s repair tool, the database completely vanished. This happened when I tried to update to WordPress 3.0. Fortunately HostGator had a backup from Aug. 15 that they restored…

When Clients Cancel, What To Do, What To Do?

I came home from a not-too-stressful second day at the Nuclear Medicine-Cardiology Department at the local hospital. The only hitch was that an electrode fell off two minutes before my 20-minute scan was finished and that somehow wiped out the whole scan up to that point. So I had to endure another 20-minute scan. Hey,…

Andrea is Glowing and Buzzing… It’s Not What You Might Think!

I have a benign condition that causes my heart to produce extra beats. It’s darned annoying at times, can go away for months, even years, but has been fairly active the last eighteen months or so. Anyway my new doctor wanted to make sure there was no other underlying heart condition, so he sent me…

PPC-Coach.com Shuts Down Their OWN CPA Network!

Very interesting… the owners of the PPC-Coach.com CPA training Web site, just shut down their own CPA/affiliate network (it was called Wotogepa). It seems as though running a CPA network without a dedicated anti-fraud staff, bricks-and-mortar offices, etc., etc. was too much for them. They said, “The sheer volume of CONSTANT fraud going on from…

Yahoo Gives my Fly Fishing Site Some Rank

Just discovered that the new fly fishing site is ranked #31 in Yahoo for fly fishing tips. That keyword gets almost 8,000 searches a month. However, it only has a 15% OCI (online commercial intention = buying intent). Whereas, some of the other fly fishing terms have a 100% OCI. “Fly fishing” itself has a…

Getting back into the groove…

I’ve had a hard time getting back into blogging regularly after I split my list. I think it took some of the wind out of my sails because I still wonder if it was the right thing to do. But today my friend, John Miley, helped me realize that I can just get back to…

Are You Watching the Progress of My Fly Fishing Site?

For those of you watching me try to get my neglected Las Vegas Wedding affiliate site to #1 in Google for my chosen search terms, I’ve been pulled a bit off track by this fly fishing site that I bought at Flippa.com. You all know I have a certain amount of ADD when it comes…

Article Automation for Blogs

Anyone out there know a good free plugin or service that drips articles/posts into a WordPress blog? I have a ton of PLR articles to add to my affiliate blogs, but am finding it a lot of work to add them manually. Also has anyone had any success creating an authority site (a site Google…

Flipping Web Sites

A friend and I are running a little competition just between the two of us. We’re taking a couple of sites that we put up awhile back, but have badly neglected. Our goal is to get them profitable, i.e., making enough AdSense and/or affiliate bucks each month to entice a buyer. Then we’ll decide if…
