Did You Get Your Flip Video Camera Yet?
At the Blogworld Expo last week I must have taken 30 videos using my Flip video camera. It was easy, fast and well, it was just good. I love this thing. I showed it off to everyone I met, even in my presentation, and I’m still getting lots of people emailing me after asking me what the name of it was and how and where to buy it. Well… I’ve just updated my Flip site at www.BuytheFlip.com to include some new stuff. 1. Added links to Buy.com, with a... Read More »
Why Does Technorati Use Google Adsense?
Does this make any sense to you? I just noticed that they are filling ad spots with Adsense ads. I mean, this one on the top in the leaderboard position makes no sense to me at all. First off, Adsense in a leaderboard converts horribly. Secondly, why aren’t they running paid ads in that spot? Wait, I think I know why… Because the ads are completely overpriced. I got a rate card from them earlier in the year, after 3 attempts to ask for one, and I can tell you... Read More »

How Does Jim Kukral Make Money? I Create Opportunities!
I get asked this question A LOT! Recently, I was asked this directly by Joel Comm on the Las Vegas tram ride to dinner after day 1 of the Blogworld Expo. In my last post about how traffic is b.s., I stated that this blog has gotten me jobs, and that is part of the way I “monetize”. Yes, that’s true, but I wanted to explain that “job” doesn’t mean what you think it does. Getting a “job” from my branding/blogging efforts is not... Read More »
Traffic Is B.S. - Influence & Attention Are Far More Important
I recently spoke at the Postiecon conference and during my panel I was asked to talk about web traffic and the biggest tricks I’ve used to boost it. My answer?… Traffic is b.s. Don’t waste your time worrying about traffic. The truth? The ONLY people who really care about traffic are publishers who sell CPM or make a ton of money off of Adsense. Guess what though? Those people are few and far between. Real people, like you and me, who have less than 1 million... Read More »
Professional Bloggers Never Used Adsense Anyway
This is a follow up to a post made in 2005, referenced at Problogger.net. Google changed the way Adsense ads are clicked today and many are up in arms about it. “Make money online” or pro-bloggers don’t use Google Adsense much. Why? Because it doesn’t work on these types of blogs. Guys like Shoemoney, John Chow, Zac Johnson and Problogger have found, and proven, that using Adsense on their blogs is a waste of time. Yet… there is somehow some... Read More »
