Web Programming Answers

Derivative blog monkey

I always say that when writers write about writing it’s time for me to stop reading. This blog about a blogging tool is worthwhile, though, because it involves shiny things.

 Latest addition to Web Programming Answers is the notable plug-in that prints purdy pictures across my fine fine blog template. And when you click one you can save my articles to social networking services and tell the world (or social networking services) what you like about this web site.

And now: shiny things:

IE bug: form tag has depth

Like the the div tag, the form tag can push items down on IE. The only reason the “add to my cart” button image is so far below the top of that table is the presence of a form tag. By pushing the form tag higher on the page the button righted itself.

Affiliate Marketing First Month Wrap-Up

I built AnimalImages.biz out of animal posters and books from All Posters
and Amazon. The expenses were a few domains and hosting. Cost: $97

Eventually I’ll pay our writer, too. Cost: $150

Search engine optimization efforts were minimal and included directory submissions. I bought pay per click on Yahoo, where our ads got 12,632 impressions and 41 clicks averaging the 2nd position on Yahoo’s search page.  The doorm-room.net Yahoo keywords include “college dorm room checklist,” “dorm room picture,” “dorm room” and “dorm room decorating.” These had the most impressions. Cost: $73.86.

The first change I made was to get off the animal images and onto the dorm room marketing angle. I am now marketing dorm-room.net, college-dorm-room.com and dorm-room-decor.com.

All Posters: $3.82
