September 2007 Online Earnings Report

So long, September. Not a bad month by my measure, but just slightly worse than August 2007. Three percent worse, if you’re talking about total profit for the month - so nearly even really. Let’s take a quick look at the breakdown:
———-
Adsense
Income from Adsense dropped 5%, but made up a total of [...]

Text Link Ads on the Way Out?

There has been debate for quite some time about Google and paid text links. There’s no question that Google doesn’t like them, but it seems more and more likely that Google is actually penalizing sites for selling links. Greenllama.net itself got dropped from PR4 to PR1( the home page only, not the internal [...]

Don’t reinvent the wheel

There are times when it’s great to be different, and to stand apart from the crowd. But there are also times when it’s best to stick with what works - the tried and true method. Sometimes the way things have always been is good enough, and indeed better than a change. No [...]

Wordpress RSS Display Plugin

I’m looking for a particular Wordpress plugin / function, but couldn’t find quite what I’m looking for.  I’m sure there are probably 50 plugins that do this, but whatever I can’t find them.  Here’s what I want.

Display external RSS feeds ( 4 or 5 , in separate sections )
Display only title of post - no [...]

Naked Karate

Karate isn’t usually terribly interesting when you get down to it. I mean, it’s probably pretty cool being able to ninja-kick someone in the head for fun, and not get yelled at by anyone. But besides that it’s a lot of hard work, and not normally something that intrigues me at all.   Enter Topless Karate. [...]

Free Advertising

Coming up in the next few days is a Green Llama theme refresh. Not a whole redesign, mind you, but a freshening. As part of the update, I’ll have 4 125×125 button ads available in the top right of my sidebar. These ads seem to be all the rage these days, so [...]

Theme Refresh Uploaded

I finished making the updates that I wanted, and uploaded the new theme. Strangely, everything appears to be working. That never, ever happens when I make any coding changes - there’s always something that breaks unexpectedly. But everything appears to be ok in Firefox and IE 7 at least. If you’re [...]

Prioritize your tasks better

No matter what stage you’re at in your quest to make money online - whether you’re just starting out, already getting established, or a big name in the game, you need to learn to manage your time. There is only a finite amount of time in each day, and most of us only have [...]

Make Money Online with Shopping Ads

Media Whiz, better known as the owners of Text Link Ads, just released a new product to the public - Shopping Ads. The first thing that comes to mind when you visit the Shopping Ads site is - damn, this sure looks familiar. The interface is nearly identical to that of the Auction [...]

Why PR Still Matters

As we’re still seeing updates from Google’s recent Pagerank slap, the word on the street ( and by street I mean Interweb ) is that PR is meaningless, and no one should be concerned about a PR drop. I say this couldn’t be further from the truth.
Advertisers today look for hard metrics to help [...]

Logo Designer Needed

I’m in need of a logo for a future project. I am awful at all things graphic, so I turn to you. Anyone out there have some skill in the area of graphic design? I have an interesting idea for a logo, and I’d like to see it brought to life. [...]

I give up - Google Wins

After dropping from PR4 to PR1, and then today getting whacked from PR1 to PR0, I’ve pretty much had it with Google. Over the past two years Google has never really been a friend to this site. It didn’t just start when I started selling text links and reviews, it’s been [...]

 

GreenLlama

    Green Llama is a place to learn about making money online. Any ideas or walk-through's I have, I'll post here for your enjoyment. I also do product and online service reviews.

    However, I tend to run off on tangets quite often. I call this part of the site 'random crap'. Basically I'll go off and post about whatever I want, just to keep things interesting. Have fun and stay tuned.
