Goal Number One: Develop Swollen Pickles into a website that can generate $350US per month.
Slight improvement here in relation to the past couple of months. The [...]

In my eternal quest to make this site profitable I’m trialling a new program called LinkShowOff.
The LinkShowOff program allows you to run a simple javascript based widget on your site (eg. your blog’s side bar) and earn money when someone purchases a link in your widget. LinkShowOff is said to be Google safe as all [...]

As the door closes on 2008, it also close on another 12 months of the Swollen Pickles goal project. It’s been a big year, with some decent gains made in some areas, and some disappointments in others.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Here’s one for all the Aussies. It can be a pain in the butt trying to find affiliate programs that are ok with Australian traffic. It’s even harder to find those that offer the good stuff.
Commission Monster have taken on Windows Live Hotmail with Hotmail currently paying $0.30 per Australian click.
If you get a lot [...]

Turn on the TV and you’ll be lucky if you don’t see a story on the big Global Financial Crisis. You don’t have to be a genius to figure out that there are a lot of people out there interested in what is happening globally, and how the financial crisis is directly going to affect [...]
