Green Llama

Following up a tough March, I knew that April had to be better. And fortunately, it was better - a lot better. In fact, it was even better than February 2007, which makes April 2007 my best online income month to date. Total net profit jumped 63%, and it was [...]

Early in April, I decided to give Kontera ContentLink a try. I hesitated to join the program, because I generally found the ads to be slightly annoying. Not so annoying that I would stop using a site that had them, just that I preferred sites without these ads. In any case, I [...]

After posting my Kontera ContentLink Review, I read a post that Daneil from Daily Blog Tips wrote, urging bloggers to avoid in-text advertising like the plague. Now I read DBT on a daily basis - it’s one of the first feeds I read in Bloglines. I think the content is fantastic, and more [...]

I have removed the Kontera ads from Green Llama.  The income generated from this site wasn’t enough to justify the annoyance.  I will continue to use Kontera ads elsewhere, and enjoy the money earned.
So if by chance, you’ve decided not to visit Green Llama because you hate Kontera ads, feel free to come back [...]

Ahh yes, Google Hell - the dreaded Supplemental Index.  Google has decided that most of the content here at the Green Llama isn’t worthy of regular search results, and I’ve been kicked down to the dungeons.  That is why, of course, most of my traffic has come from Yahoo, Digg, and various links here and [...]

Just this past Saturday morning, an advertiser accepted my bids on two reviews at Sponsored Reviews. Great news, and I got to work exploring the sites, and writing up detailed reviews. I posted the first one, and though I completed the second on, I was planning to wait until Monday to post it.
Then Saturday evening, while I [...]

Darren at Problogger is having another Group Writing Project, this time on Top 5 posts.  There’s a cool grand up for grabs, so hopefully I can get lucky and snag first prize.  I decided to put together my top 5 money makers.

Google Adsense - Still far and away, one of the best ways to make [...]

Following up with my post about the incident with Sponsored Reviews this past weekend, I am happy to say everything worked out.  I received an email from Sponsored Reviews saying that that decided to reach into their own pockets, and pay the bloggers the full amount that they would’ve received.  In fact, I’ve already received [...]

Yes, I said it.  And I’ll say it again to make sure it’s clear - sometimes it’s ok to lose readers.  Every now and again, you’ll say something that offends someone, and they stop reading your site.  Perhaps you put up an advertisement that they didn’t like - maybe they hate Kontera ads.  At some point, [...]

Politics are much more interesting in Belgium. Here in the US, we have debates over various issues, whether they are taxes, the war in Iraq, terrorism, foreign policy, whatever. Serious issues to be sure, but quite honestly not particularly interesting.
Over in Belgium, the NEE party is a bit fed up with the other [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, the time has arrived.  Now each of you can add the Green Llama Google Toolbar button to either your Firefox or IE Google Toolbar.  No longer do you have to go hours or even *gasp* days at a time without seeing our green friend.

I’m heading off on vacation starting this Thursday, and I won’t be back until Friday the 25th at the earliest.  I’ve known about this vacation for a few months, and the plan was to have 4 or 5 good posts queued up to auto-post while I was gone.  Naturally I didn’t get around to it, [...]

If you’ve got a spare $8 million sitting around under your mattress, and you’re looking for a horrid investment, might I suggest buying the Rich Jerk empire?  It’s up for sale, and the asking price is a cool eight million dollars - not exactly chump change.  As I’m prone to do, I have to ask [...]

This post care of Adam Ferguson from rotten bananas.
Leroy asked for some help providing content while he’s sunnin it up in Baltimore. I’ve recently begun using AuctionAds (aff) on my guitar blog, axplay, so how about a review?
AuctionAds is an advertising partner that displays relevant eBay auctions on your site. It displays the product pictures, [...]

Not much to say here.. just $30 bucks off a $150 purchase at Office Depot.  The coupon shouldn’t be a one-time use, so it should work for everyone.  Good until the end of May, so if you were mulling over a purchase of something business / electronic or whatever, now would be the time.  Link [...]

Trackbacks, Pingbacks, whatever you want to call them, they are powerful.  If you are a blogger and you aren’t using trackbacks, you need to stop and rethink your blogging strategy.  Kevin at Blogging Tips recently posted on his experience using trackbacks, and the extra traffic that can result.
So why are trackbacks so great?  Well, let’s [...]
