Carnival of the Capitalists Spammer Exposed
August 20, 2007 | 5 Comments
I found him, and it didn’t take much work. It always kind of amazes me when someone seems to have a pretty “white-hat” appearance, and then you discover such blatant black-hat tactics.
In case you’re wondering what I’m talking about, in the submissions for today’s Carnival of the Capitalists, there were about 10 entries from a […]

Carnival of the Capitalists 8-20-2007
August 20, 2007 | 11 Comments
Welcome to the August 20, 2007 edition of Carnival of the Capitalists. While blog carnivals have become all the rage lately, this one is the grand-daddy of them all, at least for business blogs. It’s one of the few that still travels from blog to blog each week (as a carnival should — that’s why […]

CotC Will Be a Little Late, No Thanks to Sploggers
August 20, 2007 | 2 Comments
Well, folks, I was going to be on time with Carnival of the Capitalists, but unfortunately, it seems a large number of blogs have sprung up that are ripping off articles from EzineArticles and reposting them on blogs — stripping out the resource box and not giving proper credit.

A couple of days ago, I ripped on AuthorityBlackBook.com a bit. Dave Taylor took me to task over it, saying I was over-generalizing based on the one issue in that post. But there’s certainly more than one issue, so here’s part 2 of my critique.

Pet Peeve: Web 2.0 Gurus Who Really Don’t Get Web 2.0
August 12, 2007 | 18 Comments
I have a pet peeve. See, everyone is hopping on the Web 2.0 bandwagon these days, especially all the internet marketing gurus. Now, these guys (and a few gals) really know how to write good sales letters, compelling squeeze pages, and so on. And a lot of them have figured out how to make some […]

Paid Surveys Are Sometimes Better Than Advertised
August 2, 2007 | Leave a Comment
I’ve done the math on GPT (Get Paid To) sites — get paid to read e-mails, get paid to take surveys, etc. — and if you do everything they send you, you’re probably only going to net about $8 an hour (but you can improve that).
Now, that beats the heck out of a minimum-wage job […]
