    CPM setup?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    John is pointing you in the right direction. However I'd recommend checking out http://pubmatic.com/ ; they have deals with nearly all of the major banner networks, you just need an account with those networks and then it will auto optimize everything based on highest earnings -- be it Fastclick...

    You've got it backwards, though they may go after individual affiliates as well.

    College or not

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Take a closer look, most of those without a college degrees would qualifiy as "some college" , i.e. they dropped out, or more specifically took a break and didn't make it back.

    Who do you do your business banking with?

    One thing to add, check out the bank ratings for any banks you deal with. Some of the smaller, local banks are under capitalized, and there may be a string of failures of the next few years. FDIC insured or not, even a slight interruption in your day to day can be very expensive. Check out this...

    Experienced outstanding outcome with outsourced solutions?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I have been outsourcing work for a while now. Here are a few suggestions: - Run a small project first to see how they perform. - There are language barriers with Indians in particular. Some may speak English, but they will not be able to understand your instructions. Worst case scenario I've...

    Affiliate marketing

    MARKETING 
    The fastest approach may be to set up an account with an existing affiliate network. This will give you an audience of very good affiliates immediately. Trying to pull in those affiliates on your own is a full time job. Beware, you may need to put up a significant amount of cash.

    Who do you do your business banking with?

    I don't know about other places, but my local bank's online service *blows.* Every time I would log in, I would have to call a phone number and have the password reset (hackers using brute force attack I guess, too many failures triggers the phone verification.) Besides being very simplified...

    Stimulus Package

    OFF-TOPIC 
    To correct some of the numbers given in the thread: "The House package -- which would inject an estimated $161 billion into the economy over the next two years and cost the Treasury $117 billion over the next decade -- won unusually broad bipartisan support, passing 385 to 35. It would allow...

    Run 3 ads on Google Adwords, all the same but with different domains, and see which one gets you the most clicks and/or sales (depends what stage you are at.)

    No Lambo for Get-Rich-Slow Folks?

    HOT! 
    Check out the true cost of ownership calculator at Edmunds -- http://www.edmunds.com/apps/cto/CTOintroController (I might have posted this before, not sure.) There is a curve here, in some cases one year newer can be cheaper. Also factor in the things that don't come with a fixed dollar amount...

    I could not sleep

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Good idea, and there is demand for it too. Sure, other sites do the same but so what. I would turn it into a one-stop internet PR shop. Instead of just getting diggs, or just stumbleupons, you can have a database of an enormous number of websites -- news, social, blogs, forums, etc. With a...

    Chances of getting rich with blogging

    Find some people who have become wealthy from blogging and FOREX, from ground zero (multi-millionaire/billionaire hedge fund managers don't count.) I know one person who may have become wealthy from blogging, at that is Jason Calacanis who sold Weblogs Inc (a network of blogs, which other...

    From 10 Hours a Week, $10 Million a Year

    EXECUTION 
    No, unless you are running an art site, there are few reasons to ever focus on a beautiful/unique design. All that crap does is confuse visitors. You should focus on a design that converts users. (Check out MarketingSherpa's "Landing Page Handbook", really too much to get in to here.) You aren't...

    help me over come an issue...its such a minor isse too...

    Ideas are a dime a dozen. They are worth almost *nothing*. The people who have the means to copy you, 9 times out of 10 are going to be too darn busy to even try to copy you. Your neighbor, friends, who cares? Let them try. Taking a raw idea with nothing else to a level that throws off wild...

    From 10 Hours a Week, $10 Million a Year

    EXECUTION 
    The best part was, because of the design, a lot of people looked at plentyoffish and just laughed instead of trying to copy him. This makes your job of keeping the competition at bay so much easier! The simple stuff converts visitors better. And its cheaper to create. And its easier on your...

    Online businesses?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    For a basic affiliate site (or Adsense, if thats what you mean by ad), not much of any programming beyond HTML. Even then, you can just use a WYSIWYG editor such as NVU (completely free.) In my experience its often better to use third party solutions before having any systems custom programmed...
