HookReport - User Submitted Fishing Reports

Tue, 26 Jun 2007 17:16:40 GMT

A friend and I have spent the lsat 6 months building a site that is going to revolutionize the way fishing reports are shared amongst angler. In the past, guides have posted fishing reports at local restaurants and tackle shops, but we are looking to change that. We have built a site that allows ANYONE to submit fishing reports, and anyone to vote on them and reorder them.

There are no ads, and we don't sell your information. Right now the site operates at a huge loss..

You can check the site out at HookReport.com. Go ahead and sign up for an email reminder so you can be there when the site launches!

Realcase.com making more than digitalpoint

Fri, 15 Jun 2007 13:53:48 GMT

I just saw on johnchow.com that Realcase.com is now making more than digitalpoint.com. (Over $10,000 a month) Making them the 10th highest adsense earners.

The company's business strategy was simple, they bought an almost 14 year old domain name and than changed the sites focus to debt consolidation.

The company that previously owned the website was a software development company in the late 80's/early 90's. They claim to have aquired the dropped domain name from the TDNAM.com.

The age of the domain name, and the number of links to the site, contribute to the sites high rankings in google for many long tail debt consolidation keywords, and they claim that a single click can pay over $20.

The companys website appears to be nothing more than adsense ads, yet their content is highly optimized for google results, and they use a method called content rotation to achieve their high rankings.

Content rotation, they say, is the practice of phasing out all content through out the month. With every new post on the site, an old post is removed.

This is the first time I have heard of this practice, and it appears to be working for them. It's only a matter of time before we see more sites using this content rotation practice, or before google updates their algorithm.

Remove Bloggers Comment Feeds

Thu, 07 Jun 2007 16:39:57 GMT

With Google's blogger, every post automatically has an RSS feed generated for the posts comments. The problem is there is no way to set a no-follow for these comments, and they end up in google.

It's really easy, though, to remove them entirely if your target audience doesn't require them.

Find this code in your blogger template (after expanding widget templates):

<b:loop values='data:posts' var='post'>
        <b:if cond='data:post.allowComments'>
          <b:if cond='data:post.feedLinks'>
            <b:include data='post.feedLinks' name='feedLinksBody'/>
          </b:if>
        </b:if>
      </b:loop>
    </div>

and replace with:

Halo 3 Glitches, Super jumps, and other atrocitys

Thu, 17 May 2007 16:55:28 GMT

So what's the deal guys? No one has find any super jumps, advantageous glitches, or any good stuff in Halo 3?

I'm diein over here. Someone give this man a super jump or something.

If you know of any superjumps or anything that is advantageous in H3 beta, let me know. Post up a comment and let the world know. Or just email to me. I won't tell anyone ;-0

Halo 3 Beta Code is gonnee

Thu, 17 May 2007 16:44:53 GMT

Well, the code is gone ladies. I just sent the code to Michael Mil. Why?

I know how it can be to be young and be stuck waiting for something to come out. I've waited so long for Halo 3 and now that it's here, I really don't want to play it as much as I thought I would. But the point is that anticipation is a bi***.

To the guy who said his friend had a court date at 2: as much as I would love to give it to you so you can hit some halo 3 before court, if I were in your shoes I would go pick up a copy of Crackdown and get the download code from it.. and I would have done it last night. I'm 20 years old, I don't wake up until 12pm.

Reading Michaels comment reminded me of that episode of Southpark where Cartman froze himself so that he could be un-frozen when the Wii finally came out. Being ounger you can't just go spend $60 on a video game so that you can play ANOTHER video game, but most the rest of you probably could.

If you want to get stomped in some H3, add me to your friends. My gamertag is Meatwallit and Chris A. is BEEFGINA
