Projects and Goals for 2012
So how is 2012 treating everyone so far? I have to say, we are only 9 days in and things seem to be turning a corner. Personally 2011 was a great year, and a bad year packed full of business and life lessons. AS per the tradition, I wanted to post updates in the latest projects I’m working on, and I’m going to add some goals for 2012. Also, I noticed something interesting at the end of the year, this blog had over 200,000 Unique visitors last year, which is way more than I would have guess. Of course this blog has posts about local events and issues here in Stone County Arkansas. So lots of local visitors. Read More
2Merry Christmas and DOJ Flip Flop?
Been a while since I posted anything good, and I was about to post a “Merry Christmas” to everyone, and wish everyone a happy new year and all that jazz. Then Dusty sent me this link to a Forbes Magazine article which says the US Department of Justice has apparently changed their position on Internet Poker. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t very excited reading this. Since 75% of m income comes from gaming related businesses, I would love to see the right thing done, and people allowed to play poker.

0Titan Poker EuroPartners Affiliate Scam
Titan Poker and Europartner Scam/Fraud
I know the title is pretty strong, but after going through it with a few AM’s and fellow affiliates. I think the title fits perfectly. I promoted titan Poker when they first came out, made some money, never got paid. As you can see, people on the largest gaming websites and communities have been scammed. Including members of GPWA, PAP, CAP, PAL. [notification type="standard"] Update: Since I’ve posted this, within minutes I was contacted by 2 large affiliates who said several of his players have been ripped off as well. So this whole mess may go further than Europartners just ripping off affiliates. Sounds like they may be involved in UB / Absolute Poker type theft as well. But I want to be clear I have no evidence of this yet. But we will be checking it out. [/notification] Read More
1Scribe SEO Plugin
Over the last few months, I haven’t spent much time on the Affiliate Forums, SEO forums, or even blogging much. It’s just been a lot of work, with some golf mixed in. I keep seeing comments and messages asking if I have stopped blogging or updating my SEO site and my blog here. The truth is I just haven’t had a lot to say. Not too many interesting things happening in the affiliate world, or in the SEO world. At least nothing I felt like writing about. Read More

Leaving The Corporate World
Of course it’s been a while since I posted, so much fun stuff has happened and I’ve honestly just been too busy. I’ve always kept this blog just to vent my rants, complaints, and the occasional update on projects. So not much will change, I do expect to post some random thoughts and updates. A lot of “local” people read this (not sure why) so I may be including some rants that only make sense if you live in this area. I’ll try my best to make sense though. Read More
0My Summer
What a strange summer it has been! It seems like so much has happened, its hard to wrap my head around sometimes. I honestly think I’ve had more stress in 2011 than I’ve had in the last several years. Keep in mind I have a tenancy to stress on little stuff sometimes, but this summer I think my “stressing out” has been justified. I’m at the point in my life, that only thing I really worry about is making sure my family, which includes 6 teenagers, are taken care of. Read More
2My thoughts on Black Friday
I keep getting asked my thoughts on “Black Friday” and just in case you have no idea what I’m talking about, or live under a rock. On April 15th the US Department of Justice seized the 3 largest online poker rooms domains, several bank accounts, and indited 11 people in connection with these rooms. You can read a summary (Thanks to Bill Rini) here: Read More
3I’m going to fail.. A lot
Yup, I’m going to fail a lot, I have failed a lot, and before the day is over I’ll fail at something again. Yet, I’m going to push right past it and keep going. For all the success I’ve had, just like everyone else I know I’ve had 100 times more failures. Thank god I am able to breeze past those (usually) and move on to my next idea. Do you ever look back at something you have done and think “Jeesh, if I would have know how tough/hard/tedious/miserable that was going to be, I’d have never done it”? – I do, then I catch myself and think “OMG, if I wouldn’t have done it, then ___blank____ wouldn’t have happened! Heh, my ex-wife comes to mind.If not for those years of pure hell, I wouldn’t have two very awesome kids…. Read More
0Elite Affiliate Software
I’ve been getting swamped with questions about my latest and greatest project Elite Affiliate Software, so I figured I would post some information here to answer some of them. Also, as you can see I changed the blog theme again, I get so tired of looking at the same old design so I just have to keep it fresh. For whatever reason, the new look and feel motivates me to blog again. Anyway, let’s get right to it! Read More
1Goals for 2011
Well after being snowed in a few days, I’ve knocked out a lot of little tasks and caught up on reading my favorite websites and blogs. Since we are still at the start of 2011, I figured this would be a good time to post about my business and personal goals for the year. 2010 was so awesome, I was really stressed it would all go away in 2011 lol. Seems silly, but ya know. Read More
