Geeks on Steroids has been building custom designed websites for over eight years. Geeks on Steroids has a staff of six people at this time and while it is a small staff it is the perfect size for us. If you are looking for a company that gives a home town feel then you are in the right place because we want every client to be our best friend.
Geeks on Steroids did search engine optimization for a select group of clients several years ago but decided to get out of online marketing for other people and focus on our own sites. This year after many meeting and lots of talks we have decided to once again start offering search engine optimization.
I've decided to start me a site for translating English sites into Spanish.
A market of more than 35.3 million, or 12.5% of the U.S. population, are Spanish speaking.
It's a pretty good size market to be passing up. We've hired 4 new people for handling the translation side of the business and hope there will be a need for more soon.
I’ve been playing around with some blogs for the last couple days and I’ve decided that I like the whole blogging idea.
As a matter of fact I’ve even decided to build a couple blogs that are selling products as well as looking into other ways that I can make money with blogs.
One thing that really interested me was the PayPerPost better known as PPP. It seems to be a fairly new idea but one that has a lot of potential.
I’ve found 4 companies that are doing this but was not impressed by any of them.
1.I couldn’t figure out how to work their site.
2.Had some things going on that were just scary.
3.Was coming but was not here yet.
4.Was wanting to sell text links on my site.
It’s a bit upsetting since I really like the idea, so I’ve decided to take one of my sites and set up a private forum where Advertisers can meet bloggers and work out how much the advertisers are willing to pay for a product review.
I’m not planning on making any money off the site, it’s just a meeting place for bloggers and advertisers.
The bloggers get the chance to make a little money and the advertisers get to gain some traffic and make a little buzz about their product or site.
Think about having 10 or 15 thousand bloggers blogging about you and your company.
Seems like a win, win opportunity to me.
I’ve been doing some thinking about this as well as talking to people on another forum and I’ve come to the conclusion that there are a couple bad problems with this.
Lets say I have a website that I want to rank for dating.
One of the biggest things needed when trying to rank for a competitive keyword is links. At one time a lot of people were buying links to help boost their ranking in Google.
Google was upset about this and sites have penalized and banned for buying and selling links.
But now with the blog’s PayPerPost we no longer have that problem. We are able to buy links and look around and say we were only paying for a site review.
Think about it, for $10.00 a post your able to buy thousand’s and thousand’s of one way links.
How is Google going to be able to tell the real post from the paid post?
PayPerPost has made this easy, the purchaser of the post has the option to make you add a tracking code into the post that will allow the purchaser to track the traffic coming from your blog.
Google can go looking for that tracking device and start banning blogs that are using it.
Just a thought but this might not be as good I had hopped.
I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, I’m not much of a blogger but I do enjoy making money online. We’ve done pretty well for the last 4 years but I’m always looking for new ways to make money.
The last week or so I’ve been looking into making money with blogs and I really like the idea.
I may even become a blogger. (:
I’ve found four companies that will pay you for post PayPerPostCreamAid,inBlogAds and ReviewMe, I’m sure others will be coming out soon enough.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on these and I will be posting mine once I dig into the concept a little more.
Myspace now has a section called Video Section; it’s above the Top Friends Section and below the Who I’d like to Meet Section.
It’s just popped up across the whole site.
It’s strange that Myspace did not do anything to promote it or to let anyone know it was coming.
Video has really started picking up across the Internet. We plan to start making videos on or site the first of next year in order to try and get into the new trend.
