Internet Marketing is Dead? Hell No.

Luke

I made the below post on the Warrior Forum many months ago, it is so relevant and so timely that I’m posting it here for another read. Bottom line is- don’t believe the hype.
We’ve all seen it, read it and heard it.
IM is dead, Adsense is dead, Adwords is dead.
There’s no room for [...]

Identifying What Products You REALLY Need

Luke

Even though I generate a six-figure online income I still just seem to want to do things myself. Finally, this year I hired someone to cut my lawn and take care of the yard. I have an acre of land [...]

Adwords Content Network Strangeness

Luke

I’ve noticed some really strange things happening with my Adwords content network ads since 07-01-2007. Anyone else there seeing the same things? A ton more impressions, a ton less impressions, NO impressions? If so, comment here or drop me a line from the contact page…
 
Update 07/05/2007: I received an email from Google confirming this is [...]
