This Chick Gets Around! - Stock Photography

It’s so funny. Being that I work online, I get around to a lot of different websites and am involved in a lot of things. And seeing as I am in the business, I can see what other people are doing and many times know exactly where they’re getting it from. Well, stock photography is [...]

Digg Effect - In Living Color

A few days ago, I posted an article saying that I got “Dugg”, meaning I got an article onto Digg.com and it sent me a big traffic spike. This was for an article called “Can Linux Replace Windows?” published over on PC Mechanic. I thought I would share with you the stats from the Digg [...]

The Digg Effect

I have written in the past about how to use StumbleUpon to promote. Shortly after I wrote that article, I got over 10,000 page views to one of my articles on PC Mechanic in one day. Just to one article. Since then, I have hit a few other little “sweet spots” with StumbleUpon and gotten [...]

Wordpress and Curing High Server Load

So far, my recent conversion of PC Mechanic to Wordpress has been relatively trouble free. Of course, that is a matter of context. Switching publishing platforms on a site as large as PCMech isn’t exactly cake. It doesn’t turn on a dime. So, relatively speaking, it has been relatively pain free. However…

How I Converted a Non-Blog Site to Wordpress

This post may have a few follow-ups - because it is a big subject. However, I just last night launched PC Mechanic as a Wordpress -powered website. Easy right? Not so much.

How to Use StumbleUpon to Promote

A few months ago, I signed up for StumbleUpon. I downloaded and installed the toolbar on Firefox and started surfing. Pretty cool. However, I had seen a few people talking about using StumbleUpon for promotional purposes on their websites, with apparent success. Some were talking about driving thousands of visitors PER DAY to their sites [...]

Starting an Online Business Despite Information Overload

In yesterday’s newsletter, I asked for feedback from subscribers on what they wanted to see as topics covered on WebbyOnline. One reader mentioned how he wanted to start an online business but was overwhelmed by all the information out there and really didn’t know where to start. Well, that’s actually very common. The market of [...]

Synch vBulletin Mailing List with 1-2-All

OK, every now and then I post something technical on this site, and this is one of those posts. The problem? You have a mailing list of forum members which reside in the vBulletin database. You use 1-2-All, from ActiveCampaign, to manage your email lists. vBulletin’s email system sucks in comparison because it is dirt [...]

Our computers are usually pretty decked out and we know how to use them. And, like so many, we probably have MP3 players. Well, if so, you’re [...]
