If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I’m sure many of you are aware of “Flickr“. It is a very popular photo / image hosting service that many use.
I’ll let you hear what happened from the horses mouth why you should be careful using flickr. For those of you who are too busy to read the link the summary is if you host all your images on flickr; they will get all the google / yahoo and msn image traffic that could of been going to your blog.
If you just want to host some images to share with friends that is one thing; if you are building a blog / website and these are relevant photos you will be publishing you may want to rethink using a public photo sharing host. Ever wonder how they get SOOOO much traffic?

My Thoughts on Run of Site Advertising
April 9, 2008 | Filed under: Business Advice Comments(0)
Well it’s been almost 2 months since I posted about how this blog has gone run of site for advertising. I thought now would be a great time to share some of my thoughts on the whole process.
What I liked about run of site advertising was that you got a good chunk of change up front and didn’t have to worry about monetization optimization etc for a period of time. Then again this blog is basically just a hobby so any money that I do make on it is gravy and it’s already paid for itself more than twice over the initial investment I made to purchase it in November. Notice the only thing I really liked about run of site was the chunk of change up front?
What I disliked about run of site was that for some reason the minute you lock your advertising abilities people come out of the woodwork and ask for advertising. Go figure! Over the …

The Compete Analytics Toolbar is awesome. It lists how trusted a site is and most importantly mentions a people count. If you go to there website you can even compare sites. No longer do we need to look at Alexa which is skewed to all heck. It’s awesome to go to a site and see how many people came through in the last 30 days. What you’ll find instantly is that some of the sites you thought were great with low alexa get very few real people coming while others that are nothing special on alexa are …
