I’m not sure that anyone out there actually cares, but a week ago I extended my ProjectWonderful experiment to try and figure out how to get the most out of my ad block and find the optimum pricing level. During the first week of the experiment I set the opening bid at $0.00 to see [...]

If you live in Victoria, you may have noticed WorkSafe’s “graphic new ad campaign”. Personally, I’m a little tired of the “graphic new ad campaign” thing, it’s been done. I’d say I’m borderline desensitized. I’d prefer to see something intelligent and memorable, not disturbing and memorable. The ‘shock horror’ approach seems to lose it’s impact [...]

Dear Google, I know that you are wise and all powerful. I know that I am wrong to even think of questioning your wisdom, however, sometimes your behavior confuses me. You used to show me love.

It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of comic books (I just finished reading Batman: Face the Face). Anyway, today I stumbled across the “Create Your Own Superhero” application on the Marvel Kids website. It took me a good minute and a half to get over my excitement, after which time I sat down [...]

A week ago I posted about my little Project Wonderful experiment. Basically I was wondering whether or not setting my ad spots to have a starting bid of $0.00 would have a positive impact upon my average daily bid rate. When I started the experiment, the average bid rate for the preceding five days was [...]

Thanks to Wayne’s World, I can’t hear or read the word ‘vacuum’ without thinking about Garth and the Suck Cut. The hair cutting device that sucks as it cuts… and from memory it definitely did suck. What’s my point? Well, some people associate regular house hold objects with other stuff. Take this character from Michigan [...]

For those of you that think advertising is an evil bad thing, I challenge you to cop an eyeful of this billboard ad and then tell me if your opinion has changed! This one’s simple, clever and border-line NSFW, but since it was an outdoor billboard I’m going to have to go ahead and say [...]

I’ve made a bit of cash from ClickBooth, and they have a butt load of pay per lead offers which seem to convert quite well. So today, I logged into my Clickbooth account and searched for all offers available that were also happy to take Australian traffic. A long list was generated. Too long for [...]
