I have put their slide show (see one below) on several of my websites and I am starting to see a modest increase in hits and purchases. I always put items on it that I think my visitors would be interested in and it turns out that I am right on track with the way they think. The widget also ads a bit of color to otherwise some drab pages.

The one thing I HATE dealing with is comments on the blog. Not the nice constructive comments I get but those spammy and sometimes nasty ones. On one of my blogs I had so many spam comments that I decided not to allow comments at all anymore. This blog gets hardly any comments compared to the one I am putting on NO comments allowed. <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?a=pNaanrtP5VA:YSu4GJDaN1s:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?a=pNaanrtP5VA:YSu4GJDaN1s:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?i=pNaanrtP5VA:YSu4GJDaN1s:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?a=pNaanrtP5VA:YSu4GJDaN1s:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?a=pNaanrtP5VA:YSu4GJDaN1s:l6gmwiTKsz0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?d=l6gmwiTKsz0" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?a=pNaanrtP5VA:YSu4GJDaN1s:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?i=pNaanrtP5VA:YSu4GJDaN1s:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?a=pNaanrtP5VA:YSu4GJDaN1s:TzevzKxY174"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?d=TzevzKxY174" border="0"></img></a> </div>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2179375506560043976.post-42926389477222314472012-05-11T09:58:00.000-07:002012-05-11T09:58:31.111-07:002012-05-11T09:58:31.111-07:00Jannoreply@blogger.com0 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/_aI1M9VMZniiwWYh1AdHdvhTWqY/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/_aI1M9VMZniiwWYh1AdHdvhTWqY/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/_aI1M9VMZniiwWYh1AdHdvhTWqY/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/_aI1M9VMZniiwWYh1AdHdvhTWqY/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>Ever hear of the term "Penny Stocks" and wonder what they were? You are not alone. I use to play the stock market back in the late 1990's. I have made $900 in one day and lost $900 in one day too. Many of those stocks were priced right around $10-15 a share. When they start to be priced below $2 a share is when they are in danger of becoming a penny stock. Penny stocks are stocks that are priced <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?a=gDm_L3pkIrw:WF0qaKkvlWE:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?a=gDm_L3pkIrw:WF0qaKkvlWE:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?i=gDm_L3pkIrw:WF0qaKkvlWE:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?a=gDm_L3pkIrw:WF0qaKkvlWE:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?a=gDm_L3pkIrw:WF0qaKkvlWE:l6gmwiTKsz0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?d=l6gmwiTKsz0" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?a=gDm_L3pkIrw:WF0qaKkvlWE:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?i=gDm_L3pkIrw:WF0qaKkvlWE:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?a=gDm_L3pkIrw:WF0qaKkvlWE:TzevzKxY174"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?d=TzevzKxY174" border="0"></img></a> </div>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2179375506560043976.post-73190352028415385942012-05-08T20:07:00.000-07:002012-05-08T20:07:13.408-07:002012-05-08T20:07:13.408-07:00Jannoreply@blogger.com0 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/YbgoET30y88v4CqRWBNk9tNEtrE/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/YbgoET30y88v4CqRWBNk9tNEtrE/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/YbgoET30y88v4CqRWBNk9tNEtrE/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/YbgoET30y88v4CqRWBNk9tNEtrE/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>Have you thought about starting a business? I have not only thought about them but I have started some of them over the years. My first big plunge was having a home based clipper blade sharpening service. I catered to local dog groomers and horse owners. The business only lasted a year due to the fact someone else kept under cutting my prices. I was charging $5 a blade with free pick-up and <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?a=Qn4TaY1-c-0:KwXpbd87pWM:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?a=Qn4TaY1-c-0:KwXpbd87pWM:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?i=Qn4TaY1-c-0:KwXpbd87pWM:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?a=Qn4TaY1-c-0:KwXpbd87pWM:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?a=Qn4TaY1-c-0:KwXpbd87pWM:l6gmwiTKsz0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?d=l6gmwiTKsz0" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?a=Qn4TaY1-c-0:KwXpbd87pWM:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?i=Qn4TaY1-c-0:KwXpbd87pWM:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?a=Qn4TaY1-c-0:KwXpbd87pWM:TzevzKxY174"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Scratching-out-a-living?d=TzevzKxY174" border="0"></img></a> </div>
