Friday Ramblings and Its My BirthDay!
September 7, 2007 · Print Post · Bookmark post
This week has been very hectic; several things have gotten me angered. So I decided to write them all down and share them. Listed below I will be just rambling what happened and what I liked this week. So there are some good things and some bad things.
I will not let them bother me too much as today is my birthday! Woo Hoo!
So here are my ramblings listed below.
Google Disabled my Adsense
This happened about late last week and I of course appealed it. This happened the next day I received the John Chow affect for my video Interview of John Chow. I am assuming they noticed X amount of extra traffic but no clicks? Does that even make sense? I mean I have several pages stumbled and that gave me a lot of impressions but Adsense did not attack me. I still do not know, I know personally I have not encourage clicks, use bots, etc.
As you can see I have now diverted over to Chitika and Kontera. I hope this does not make my blog look too cluttered, if it is PLEASE let me know. I am now thinking of a new layout to try to organize it better.
I was unable to meet my Product Launch Date
I have been working on a new plug in for WordPress and it’s an amazing plugin to help grow my list. I wanted to launch it today on my birthday but there are still a few kinks and I have yet to start on my JV proposal letters. I am a little piss at myself at this since I had a scheduled planned out, I just wanted to make sure I test my product before releasing it.
It works great, but there is a small factor that I can not seem to figure out and integrate it will with some other plugins. So I am trying to figure it out for the time being and hopefully have it released soon.
My Product is in its testing phases
Since I was unable to launch my product today, I will be testing it live on this blog. Some have noticed a new plugin feature and have provided me feedback, which is great. But I will still be working on the script and how it interacts with my WordPress and hopefully others. When release I want this product to be perfect I do not want to be tackled with email about installation and errors. So I will take my time before release.
Freelance Workers Piss me Off
Adjacent to the above statement, I am currently using elance.com to help with my issue. Currently this project is being taking care of overseas in China, yet I have not heard from them in a week. I have provided them with help ideas and maybe solutions, but no response from them. I have contacted them via email and the elance message board. If I do not hear from them by Monday a file will be placed with PayPal and eLance.
BlogFriends Temporarily was Disabled on Facebook
Yesterday late last night, my BlogFriends widget on Facebook was not showing any of my feeds. I decided to looks at some of the other bloggers profile making sure it was not just me and it wasn’t. I was thinking to myself if Facebook stop feeds on their network. I was also annoyed because I just finished writing all my post about Facebook Advances, which included how to use BlogFriends as a Facebook plugin.
This morning I have checked it again and it seem they were maybe doing an update, since the interface did change a little.
45n5 releases his money making video
My Blog is in 45n5 top 100
I have been listed in 45n5 Top 100 blogs for Making Money Online! I am in the top 50!

Completion of my Facebook Advances eBook
With the completion of my posts about using Facebook about receiving traffic and earning money, I decided to turn it into an ebook. I am working on the ecover and will have it posted for sale for $7. This will be released soon. Lots of bloggers turn posts into products. This is what I will be doing - as it is viral.
The Next Internet Millionaire
I watched The Next Internet Millionaire last night and I liked it a lot. I actually picked up on a couple things that I can use for my product launch release. I also agreed with Joel Comm’s decision for elimination, some of them tried to hard and others were really not that serious. The only issue I had with this episode was the lighting, it was just very weak.

Wow Adsense can be unpredictable! Sorry to hear that they cut you off. As a new visitor I like the look of your blog - not too much clutter with the other programs you added.
Happy Birthday,
Jeremy

Hi Ian,
Really sorry Blog Friends wasn’t working for you. On that day one of our servers went down half way through a major code update! With 7000 users and 200,000 blog posts indexed on our system currently, that was probably the worst thing that could happen!:oS
Hopefully everything’s fine now, but feel free to contact me directly if there’s any problems still.
Thanks,
Jof (Blog Friends)
… and Happy Birthday

Hey, sorry to hear about the bad stuff. It’s only persistence testing you and your state of mind. Just get back at it, persistence is an asshole.
And HAPPY BIRTHDAY, most importantly!

> Jof

> Daniel

Looks as though we’re both in the same boat! My AdSense Account has been abruptly halted but that’s really okay by me. I’m coming back and twice as strong than I have been. The AdSense thing is really for Google. We are all destined to work hard just like everybody else so, when we get a knockback, remember that we actually made an impact to be noticed! Send me an Email and I’ll do my best to reward you with a free copy of 7waystoboostebookdownloads.pdf. You’ll have to wait until next year when it’s your birthday all over again to recieve Google’s Blessing, just kidding. Cheers!
