    Anyone have experience with filipino writers?

    The Philippines used to be an American colony, so their English is surprisingly good. I know there are quite a few people here that have a global mindset - Does anyone have any experience using writers from there? How good is the content? What can you use it for? How much cheaper is it? Any...

    Have you ever made a high quality site that was completely white-hat?

    ...no black hat or pushing Acai Berries. Relying on the quality of the content to attract backlinks. Basically trying to add to the interweb. Money is important but much of the satisfaction would come from building something great. I really want to do something but honestly everything I've done...

    JFDI = the new DIFN

    Wordpress theme best for AdSense?

    I know there are a couple wordpress themes out there optimized for AdSense I've personally used this: AdsMinded Wordpress Adsense Theme With Widgets! Latest Hi Tech News And it is pretty decent. CTR really depends on the niche though. I'm on a public connection so I can't login to Adsense...

    3rd World Country

    I'm visiting family in the Philippines for a couple of weeks. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience logging into various accounts (AdSense, Paypal, bank account, etc.). I assume there is some security feature that would suspend an account if it is logged in from a 3rd world country...

    Unemployed Man's 30 Day Journal

    I was made redundant at my previous job but fortunately I am receiving unemployment. I also have decent income from some old white-hat content properties - so while I'm not rolling in dough, I'm not starving either. I'm really going to cut back on expenses and try to save half of my unemployment...

    Diversifying revenue base away from AdSense

    My AdSense eCPM is plummeting. On other webmaster forums there is speculation that due to the bad economy Google is increasing its share of the revenue it keeps (unlike other ad networks the big G does not disclose what share it gives to publishers). I need to find alternative sources of...

    Company threatening legal action over domain trademark infringement

The company ABC is claiming that this infringes upon their copyright and I set a deadline for me to comply with turning the domain over. Does anyone have any experience with this? The company is big (there's a good chance you've...

    Exhausted 9-5 wage slaves - how do you get your internet biz work done?

    So I finally started my first "real" 9-5 job after college that I NEED to pay the bills. Which means I can't slack off like I did with my past work experiences (part time McJobs, easy internships and such). I had my first day today and I'm quite tired. All I want to do is veg out and do passive...

    In the face of repeated failure, how do you stay motivated?

    Working online really takes persistence. Except for eBook sellers (who make $857.21 their first night), the failure rate is going to be huge. I'm really getting depressed over this. Over the dozen or so projects I've started over the past few months, only one of them has been a mild success...

    What type of 9-5 job would compliment online entrepreneurship well?

    I know everyone does not want a job. But doing a 9-5er and WF work on the side at least for the few years is probably what many people are going to realistically do. What sort of job/career would be a good compliment? Some thoughts: Very limited overtime. It'd be very hard to do stuff on the...

    Terrible Conversion with AdWords

    I have a zip campaign that did well with Yahoo Search Marketing. So I took everything - exact same landing pages and search terms and put it in AdWords. I've baffled by the terrible conversion rates - usually I get 20-25% but so far I've gotten 60 clicks and ZERO conversions. Any thoughts on...

    A private forum will solve all problems!

    Ever heard of the 1% idea? It governs social sites like Digg: It's an emerging rule of thumb that suggests that if you get a group of 100 people online then one will create content, 10 will "interact" with it (commenting or offering improvements) and the other 89 will just view it...
