I want to share with you something that you maybe already know: Owning a blog is a much better way of gaining traffic (and money) than owning a portal or a forum.

I have launched a portal recently, with pure pristine original content, all handmade by me. I worked on it quite a lot. And [Read more →]

Did you ever talk to someone and felt tired, drained and exhausted afterwards? Does that person tend to consistently behave in that way, over and over again? If your answers are positive, then you have been dealing with [Read more →]

It is true that strong bias, insults and honest rants will bring you traffic, like some experts say. I have recently stumbled upon a completely honest and aggressive blog, that receives a lot of traffic. The author of the blog, who calls herself V, writes about her life, opinions and such. And she does it in a completely open and straightforward way, being really inflammatory, insulting and disgusting at times. So it’s no wonder that she decided to stay completely anonymous.

Now comes the interesting part: you can’t leave comments on her blog. V has locked them completely. And she says that she doesn’t give a fuck about her readers’ opinions. Guess what? Someone launched a website where you can comment on her posts! Can you imagine that? What better proof of the power of quality bias do you need than seeing a separate blog being launched only to comment on your own blog?

I am amazed at how this blogger managed to garner attention. And I also wonder what kind of loser you have to be to buy a domain and launch a website just to comment on someone who is anonymous? Whatever. Dear reader, just remember: If you are strongly biased and if you have something boiling inside yourself, write about it. Your blog will attract a lot of readers.

As I said, this blog of mine shall be about life and web success. So I will start to share with you the skills and knowledge that made my life easier [Read more →]

In the second part of this article, you have seen how to monetize your educational website. In this final part, you will see how to build a community around it.

Learn from my mistakes

When I launched my educational website, I finished every how-to with the statement that said something like [Read more →]

I’ll be away for the weekend. I am going to Spain with my beautiful wife to rest a little bit. See ya all next week!

I come from an Eastern European country that is not as rich or well developed by western standards. It is nice, but far from the likes of, let’s say, France or Italy. Which means that the buying power of the average citizen was far lower than of those living in developed countries. It is better now, but I wish to discuss software piracy during the late 80s - early 90s and its positive consequences that can still be felt today. [Read more →]

It took me all my life up until now to realize that basically no one ever understood or cared about my genuine need to help others without expecting anything in return. [Read more →]

As I am sure that you have already noticed, Google is heavily biased towards Wikipedia.

In the first part of this article, I explained how to build great educational content that will bring you traffic. I will show you now how I earned (and am still earning) money from it.

It all started with AdSense

It is AdSense that made me try to become self-sufficient in the Web business. I have built my website with about 15 lessons/tutorials to start with. I chose a clean, readable design because of the public which needed an easy access to the educational content. I signed up with Google’s AdSense and waited for their response. In about 2-3 days they approved my website. The password was mailed to me (standard procedure) and I was able to begin slapping contextual ads onto my website.

A reckless beginning

I thought “This is going to be easy” and so I began slapping AdSense in the middle of each page (and each page was very long, due to the many sections and steps in each tutorial and the fact that a single page hosted a single tutorial). As I was to see later, [Read more →]
