hey guys,
haven’t blogged this week because it’s been one of those weeks. I decided to treat myself to business premier on my way back from France and I am really glad I did that/one nice experience (pics of the plane here) After coming back to Santa Barbara I was laying down on my bed when I heard something fall; I looked down and to my disbelief I had become one of the unlucky people whose laptop screens has actually CRACKED!
I called apple support and they were total assholes so I waited till Tuesday and went to ‘Mac Mechanic’ here in Santa Barbara. After being informed of the bad news; I decided to buy a new macbook pro which is actually faster than the old one but not the top of the line model like the one I had before. I bought myself a 15inch 2.5ghz core 2 duo, 2gb of ram (and they took another 2gb from my old cracked screen mac so 4gb total), and a 250gb hard drive, and 512mb graphics card (my old one had a 256). Only $2500, vs. the 4,000something I spent on my old now broken one which is less pimped up compared to this one. I’m also kind of happy to be gone from a 17inch laptop, way to big.
but I got a new one so I’m all good :p. I really didn’t get anything done Sunday-Tuesday having to work on an extremely slow old Vaio laptop of mine.
I’m off,

ey all,
I am starting to do more keyword stuff than I was the last 2-3months (I found cheap alternate traffic sources which got kind of whored out, I just stuck to it for a while though) and definitely learned my lesson. I hadn’t done keyword stuff for a while and was just trying to be lazy one night and set up a redirect on one of my domains and got to work creating a campaign. After about 4 hours of work a friend of mine instant messaged me, I started telling him how I was working on a campaign etc. After I told him that I had no landing page he virtually stopped dead in his tracks to tell me “Dude! Not Smart!!” This could’ve been my savior but I thought I knew my shit and proceeded. Like 2 hours and 30 minutes after my ads went live i logged on to see if anything had happened, I had like 10 leads with a revenue of like $65.00 or something. I was anticipating see how much I had spent to achieve the $65 in leads so I stayed on my PC for a good hour to see google update, I had spent $133.00 to do $65.00 in revenue :-\, I was glad i had caught it early since I had a 2,500.00/day testing budget set in place, shorty after that I decided I should tweak my ads, keywords, and the keywords on my little meta-refresh page to up the QS a little bit. After working 2 hours on this stupid campaign I uploaded everything into adwords editor expecting a better margin on the campaign.
I went to sleep and in the morning i woke up to see that I had spent $1750.00 to make $900.00 and my ads had all been shut off because of them being direct linking etc.
To prevent this from happening again I have decided that under no circumstances will I not use a landing page on any google campaign I do for now on. Hopefully I can just learn to suck it up and hit up my friend Keeb whenever I am getting a campaign going and get a pimp landing page made. I am also really researching the QS just for personal knowledge; whenever I see anything on it I try to read it and I am always browsing google FAQ etc to see if their is something I don’t know about the marvelous google quality score.
I hope you take my advice and just get a simple landing page to avoid 1. Getting a terrible QS 2. Probably getting your ads shut off and 3. Maybe lose some money
I’m out, its 1:15 am

Paypal.com is down as of no: 06/01/2007 at 10:57 Pacific time. I was sitting here to check if i got paid by auctionads and paypal did not load. After guessing something was wrong with my school connection I emailed my friend jeff about it and he told me that indeed paypal WAS ACTUALLY DOWN
I just have to say,
Thats FUNNY!

Harrison is ripping hair from his head
Directtrack decided to give millnic a break by getting them back up for like 2 hours… All was well, i was making some money and happy for uptime. BUT directtrack decided to go back down.
This is ridiculous… I Love Millnic and this is hurting them more than me… They trusted some shitty tracking company and are now being f***ed by them. I hope they give em a free month or send them a fruit bowl… Some sort of “Sorry” needs to be done!!

WOW! we started this week on a GREAT start with Millnicmedia going completely down. I must say that directtrack is probably the most unprofessional affiliate tracking option out there. Being a webmaster for a little over a year I have been through DOSSING and i have always been able to get back onto my feet. I CAN NOT believe that after a Doss Directtracks “Powerful Servers” didn’t even stay online. What a disaster. I lost a nice chunk of money and am probably not even going to get my laptop this month due to the fact that I couldn’t work my magic. I think directtrack should buy me a laptop due to the fact that they can’t even handle a dos attack.
I hope directtrack fixes the problem sooner or later. You’ve already been classified as a f***ing joke on numerous blogs and I don’t see how you can achieve such a lower status than that.
Sorry To Be Rude But This Is a Joke,
I hope millnic SUES directtrack for 20 hours of simultaneous downtime

It’s TAX time everybody… I have been lagging about my taxes/putting them off for months. Yesterday i realized “Oh Shit they need to be done by Tuesday.” So of course i pulled out the phone book and started trying to call some places. My first thought was to call one of those little tax places like “H&R Block” so i cold save money. So i pick up the phone and call H&R Block. I say “Hi i wanted to make an appointment to get my taxes done.” Instead of the person on the other side of the phone all they did was hang up on me because i sounded young. So after trying the other H&R Block in my town i was 0/2 and was getting a little worried. Than i saw the number of a big accounting company and figured “Hmm i will try it.” So i call them and before i say “I need to make an appoinment” (I just said Hi…) i was hung up on… I finally found a place but next year i am going to purchase a voice changer so i dont sound young (so people take my seriously)
