I haven’t posted in a few weeks. It’s already August! Time is flying by, but it doesn’t feel like summer because of all the sweet rain we have been having in Boston.
I gave moneyanswertree.com a new theme and it looks awesome. More professional looking.
I’ve been testing out click through rates on twitter with some of my ads. I’ve posted links to a few products on twitter, and tracked the links CTR on my affiliate sites. The numbers were good. 14-25% CTR. Only 1 conversion though. But thats ok for the small amount of clicks I got.
I’m still building up my twitter followers, I am over 1100 now. It was up to 1200 a week ago before twitter did some user maintenance and deleted all those spam accounts. So my follower count dropped a lot and I guess its a good thing. Shows how many followers of mine were spam.
Other updates, I will be making a new iphone app soon, and I will be changing this sites theme to another wootheme – Busy Bee. I should probably apply for the iphone dev program now because it might take a month or so before I am accepted. That will give me a good time frame to do the development in.
Thats all for now

Its pretty simple, they were made for it. Watch out, I’m gonna start blogging about the ecconomy and what I hate about it over at moneyanswertree.com. I just have so much to say(at the moment) about how I feel about wallstreet and the people there. Some can agree or disagree but I hope its entertaining.
I need to also redo the look of that side and just make it blog style or Q&A style. I would like to make it Q&A style that would be cool, but maybe the focus there is wrong and I need to go in a different direction, we’ll see.
Just posted a new video link on funny4me. First posts in a long time. Its pretty funny. It’s the video of the numa numa guy singing the whos watching me song from the Geico commercials. I love the little gecko in the background.
Got my new snowboard boots today and wore them all night. Pretty sweet. Okay I need to start getting more sleep.
Bored.

For a few years now I’ve been coming up with different ideas for websites. Im getting the feeling that I am just a step behind. Some of the sites I have implemented and some I haven’t wet through with the idea.
I’ve spent countless hours on a couple of them and they are ok. Nothing to brag about. I think I just have a lack of motivation to actually follow through with it. I get into working on a site for a little while then I lose interest or switch my interest to something else, like my car. wha wha
My friend and I have been thinking of ideas recently. We know we want to do something web based and easy for us to keep up to date.
My first website project was funny4me.com. It is currently on its second version and has been doing well so far. It gets a decent amount of hits. My co-workers are now visiting the site without my telling them. Thats a good sign. The website is a place to post funny videos and funny pictures found on the net. These types of sites are a dime a dozen. Yet the successful ones are big money making sites. I need to be able to get there.
The second site I made was much more successful and has far less visitors so far. Moneyanswertree.com is a financial advice Q&A website I made because I became very interested in personal finance. I made the site for as a place for young professionals like me to post their questions and get feedback from other readers in the same boat. Getting people to go to the site and ask questions is the hard part. When anyone emails me or posts questions we get back to them in less than 24 hours(usually). Still needs a lot of work before the site is easy to manage and starts paying dividends.
I’ll stop there because I feel like this is a long post which provides no useful information
