SiteHoppin New Years Resolution 2009

The database has been “reinstated” to December 27th 2008, since that was the last stable backup.

If you have signed up for SiteHoppin between December 27th, 2008 and January 4th, 2009 10AM, you will have to sign up again as we lost all data.

Also please update your widgets if you have signed up in that period.  For all other users signed up before, you are fine.

Sorry for the confusion and if you’ve lost SiteHoppin credits, please let me know and I will “double” match what you had before.

Database Failure!

It’s been exactly 1 year since we launched SiteHoppin back in January 1st, 2008. (Our blog was launched couple days after)

We were very drunk to be honest and that was probably not the best “plan” for any website.

Anyways, we are pretty much 10x more sobber (at least online) and our site has been “greeeeewing” for good.

Without delay, HAPPY NEW YEAR everybody!   and Happy Birthday to SiteHoppin!

Oh yeah, I just launched another new website.  Cheers~

Post from: SiteHoppin Blog - People You Can Trust!

Happy New Year and 1 Year Anniversary!

Anyways, I am launching FriiBlog.com probably early January and I need some beta testers.

If you want to play around or simply want to get free hosting for your blog, check out FriiBlog.com here.

On the side note, I did launch a Coupon Search Engine called KouponBox.com here too. (still working out the bugs but it’s a “real” search engine…based on open source Nutch)

(Yes, I know I know, I will be making updates to SiteHoppin too.  Maybe I should add a feature where users can make blogs on SiteHoppin.)

Post from: SiteHoppin Blog - People You Can Trust!

FriiBlog.com in Beta – Free Blog based on Wordpress MU!

No matter what, we are not giving up, I just want you to know that.  I know there’s been rough times for SiteHoppin but we are back for good until we can sell our site to Google.  (or maybe we will keep it)

Blogging Tips for Year 2009 and Happy New Year!

It’s a wonder that Graham Langdon has the nerve to keep “deleting” my blogs on Entrecard, months after I have stopped using their splogging network services.

He even added his little comment, “Blog seems to be one big advertisement, no real original content.”

Well, try telling that to our network bloggers who have been blogging for last 2 years on the Bedzine blog.  What a shame to be telling other established blogs what to do when Entrecard has only been around for a year.

Anyways, I was really trying to let go of this Entrecard issue but before I do, let me mark that e-mail spam and here’s my reply, “Entrecard seems to be becoming more full of splogs, basically a “splog network”, no A-list bloggers use them anymore.  Graham, if you are going to do business in blogging, stop ‘deleting’ A-list bloggers including everyone who helped you, that includes John Chow, Problogger, Shoemoney, and Joel Comm.”

This ain’t nothing new, I just want to advise future bloggers who don’t know that Entrecard team cannot be trusted.  I don’t hate them, they simply provide the worst customer service support in Web2.0 history.  (On the bright side, we are a LOT better, we haven’t deleted more than a handful of website since our launch in Janauary 1st, 2008, key to any Web2.0 site’s success.)

And if you ever receive this type of SPAM from Entrecard, please mark it SPAM so you won’t have to wake up the day after Christmas to read some bs.

Post from: SiteHoppin Blog - People You Can Trust!

Entrecard, you have been Marked SPAM, please don’t send me anymore E-mails!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from SiteHoppin!

We have been thinking for awhile how to market the SiteHoppin stocks and really decided that lowering our prices will help get more affiliates and thus better long-term outlook.

(Thanks to AdsenseAddict for pointing this out.  It took us awhile but decided selling more stocks will help more than hurt us.)

Anyways, the holiday sale will end on January 10th, 2009, so if you want to invest in SiteHoppin, this is the time to do it.

Cheers and Merry Christmas from all of us at SiteHoppin!

SiteHoppin Stocks Holiday Sale – $2/Vowels and $1/Nouns!

For web SiteHoppin, we have added an [x] button where users can pop out of the iframe if they want to.  The [x] button is also a do-follow link to your site so you will benefit from any Pagerank associated with your SiteHoppin URL.  We also believe this will greatly enhance future web traffic as now each web page is connected to your blogs/websites.

Also, if you have a SiteHoppin stock page, that [x] button will point to your embedded URL.  For stock pages, this will be definitely a HUGE pagerank boost.  (especially after we change our homepage with direct links to the SiteHoppin stock pages, that will be coming up later.)

We should have done this long time ago but it’s just now we realized that we need this.

Anyways, more stuff coming up on SiteHoppin, and yes, we are back better than ever.

Here’s an excerpt from the post:

Guerilla – Highly Effective Strategies of 1 Human Being – For comparison, think of the movie Rambo, where Rambo takes on thousands of Vietnamese soldiers.   In today’s internet marketing, you need to be able to do a lot of stuff as 1 human being whether that’s designing, programming, blogging, or whatever.  Of course, you can outsource some of these tasks but you have to be able to manage them all and understand every and each part.

Guerilla internet marketing involves one person, not many people, to accomplish one of the world’s most daring tasks, that of making money online.

Happy Hour – What’s Comin’ Up on SiteHoppin and Why SiteHoppin has More Potential than Other Widget Sites!

You can check out the guts and glory behind what we are doing behind the scenes at our Guerilla Internet Marketing blog here.

On the side note, SiteHoppin Toolbar will be getting some updates as well in the next couple weeks with ability for users to choose multiple topics they can SiteHopp.  (How cool is that?)

After that is done, we will also be implementing “topic” targetted ads for people using our SiteHoppin widgets so your visitors will “hop” to a related website.  (Instead of what is now hopping completely randomnly.)

Now that said, please get your SiteHoppin widgets up!!!, we are the official leading provider of genuine web traffic with the best 1:1 ratio over other competitors such as Entrecard and Spottt.

Isn’t it great, just when people thought we were done with SiteHoppin, we were thinking, “we just got started, let’s make a million bucks together and donate 10% to the charity.”

Never underestimate the power of 1 single human being.

As Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods say, “Just Do It”.  – Duh~

We also hope you enjoy our new SiteHoppin blog theme, it’s based on the free search engine blog theme I made for everyone so you can download that here too.  (I am still working on getting it uploaded to Wordpress, once that happens, I think this theme might become very popular)

SiteHoppin Firefox Toolbar Certified by Softpedia!

I found this funny image of someone dropping Entrecards on the internet…

Btw, I am reading How to Drive Your Competition Crazy: Creating Disruption for Fun and Profit by Guy Kawasaki. I definitely recommend this book, I’ve had it for about 12 years but figured this would be a good time to review his advice on driving competition crazy for fun and profit.

Thank you very much.

Here’s the quote of the day:

“Next time you see a drunkard on the road, don’t provoke him by stopping your car and making fun of him, you might have your head up someone else’s as* by some drunkard named Hancock.”

Dropping Entrecards…

Well, today’s video is a simple explanation of how SiteHoppin widgets work and why they are better than widget systems like Entrecard or Spottt.

In short, SiteHoppin offers 1:1 exchange ratio, meaning we send you 1 unique visitor per 1 unique visitor you send us using the SiteHoppin widgets.

In comparison, Spottt offer 2:1 exchange ratio, meaning you only get 1 visitor per 2 visitors you send them.  (Plus, Spottt doesn’t have a unique visitor system, they use “impressions” meaning their system can easily be gamed.  Our SiteHoppin system, on the other hand, uses fraud-detection algorithm to keep track of “unique” visitors.)

As for comparing to Entrecard, SiteHoppin widgets let you “Set It and Forget It”, just like Ronco’s chicken machine.  (You don’t have to spend hours of your valuable time dropping meaningless Entrecards.  We let you focus on blogging so you don’t need to drop.)

Drop Entrecard/Spottt and start using SiteHoppin Widgets.

On top of that, we also have traffic coming to your sites by earning SiteHoppin credits using our SiteHoppin Toolbar.

Nominate SiteHoppin Toolbar at Firefox Add-ons!

SiteHoppin Toolbar has been updated to version 1.5 and then to 1.6 today.

New features include updated “starfish” rating system instead of our previous beer bottles plus you will also get to see how many “votes” that site got.

We’ve also change the puke it button to simple red flag.  (or 0 starfish)

Download the new SiteHoppin Firefox Toolbar v.1.6 HERE!

Please update your Toolbar to the latest version, we’ve stripped out a lot of code to make it faster and a better hoppin experience.

Post from: SiteHoppin Blog - People You Can Trust!

SiteHoppin Firefox Toolbar Version 1.6 Release!

The new algorithm will allow users to hop to the sites with most ratings.

We are placing more emphasis on sites that have more ratings and less on the rating value itself.  If it’s rated a LOT, you should expect a lot more traffic to your site.

Happy SiteHoppin~

New SiteHoppin Algorithm!

We gave a “bad” image of who we really were, and some people simply had to tell us we are “assholes”.

In reality, all we wanted was to be applaud for what we do, send free web traffic to people.

In all, we realize that we are doing what John Hancock would be doing, using super powers to help people.  (That’s right, we have a company policy to donate 10% of all profits to a charity of YOUR CHOICE!)  Just wanted get that clear.

Anyways, I hope you are enjoying the online drama between bunch of real assholes and the new internet Hancock, you, me, and everyone who’s hoppin’ to change the world.

Remove that Entrecard widget and vote for freedom and change and open sourcing of SiteHoppin, the next biggest traffic source on the internet!

Okay, that said, let’s go beat up some E signs.

We are the Hancock of the Internet!

How to Deal With Backstabbers!

Anywayz, the web hoppin system works about 2-3 times faster, next is to fix our AJAX bug in rating system, which keeps bugging out.

Plus, we will have to implement a new blog theme, coming soon!

Btw, our stats jumped quickly on Alexa after our re-birth from Hibernation.  If you want to help us, remove that Entrecard widget and replace it with a SiteHoppin widget.

Besides, you don’t have to drop endlessly wasting your valuable time, our system is automated to give you unique visitors so you can concentrate on blogging, not dropping.

So far, only 1 person has filled out their SSN/address info so please fill them out if you want to be paid.  (We are paying 10% interest to anyone who has their commission not paid yet and $50 minimum payout will only be for future payouts so…)

For future affiliate earnings, we will set the minimum payouts to $50.

Monthly King of Hops – 500,000 SH Credits to 100,000 SH Credits

We will increase it back to what it was later down the road once our economy becomes stable again but for right now, this is our “evacuation” plan for our initally flawed credit system.

Hope y’all understand that we are just trying to make SiteHoppin take off.

“Every time you hop, you are sending out a message to the internet that we are here, SiteHoppin will never die.”

Post from: SiteHoppin Blog - People You Can Trust!

Evacuation Plan – King Of Hops Change of Rules!

Well, it’s been almost a year and here’s what the major problem of SiteHoppin is:

1. We are giving 5 unique visitors per 1 unique visitor, which inflated SiteHoppin credits as our incoming traffic simply couldn’t match the number of SiteHoppin credits built up.

This model was simply “dumb” and it’s has not worked and not going to work.  (BUT, we have a solution.)

2. Now, there’s a flood of users who have a lot of credits but painfully there’s not as much traffic coming in.

To keep it fair for SiteHoppin and the users, we are going to change the ratio from 1-to-5 to 1-to-1.

We are still the most laid-back people as far as exchange rate goes but we really need to do this as our initial plan wasn’t thought out thoroughly and thus our miserable failure to balance the number of SH credits and distributing overall incoming traffic to the SiteHoppin users.

Anyways, this shouldn’t really affect you as much as we are still giving out bunch of credits for those in need.  Your built-up SH credits won’t be affected btw.

If you haven’t got that SH widget up, please get them up and help us grow.  It’s up to you to help SiteHoppin grow, not the other way around.  (and please ignore those weird hijacking posts about SiteHoppin, those blog posts are totally wrong and written by our evil competition who just want us to go down. Let me tell you the truth about Entrecard for those of you who don’t know.)

The more SH widgets and more users are SiteHoppin, the more traffic you will receive in return.

Post from: SiteHoppin Blog - People You Can Trust!

SiteHoppin Widget Change of Rules!

For those of you affiliates who have earned more than $100, please update your SSN and address information at the bottom of your Affiliate Dashboard. (For non-US, please enter just your address info.)

We need to do this in order to report any income taxes as 1099 to Uncle Sam and keep everything legal.

Affiliates who have earned more than $100 will be paid with extra 10% interest for late payments.

Here’s a screenshow of what it look like:

Post from: SiteHoppin Blog - People You Can Trust!

Affiliates Being Paid Out This Month, Please Update your SSN/Address info!

What’ya think?

This will speed up the site about 2-3 times by not having hopped and rated sites…

Post from: SiteHoppin Blog - People You Can Trust!

More Changes at SiteHoppin, What’dya think?

Okay, today I will tell you a secret that can help you bring more traffic using SiteHoppin widgets.

Now, if you are going to put that widget up, try to put it on the most upper-left hand corner like I did here on my Zedomax tech blog.

Why?

Well, I’ve done the research and NO ONE practically ever clicks on the right sidebar or anywhere on right of the center because 99% of people in the world read (English) left-to-right, top-to-bottom.

If you are putting that SiteHoppin widget on the right side, even if it’s at the top, you are going to get ZERO clicks in comparison to the left side, where you will get a whopping 5-10 times more clicks.

Now, our system is guaranteed to send you more unique visitors than you send us. (1 to 5 ratio, the BEST on the internet)

If you want to take advantage, take my advice and put a SiteHoppin widget on the top-left hand corner of your blog/website.  You will get back 5 times what you give us so…

Post from: SiteHoppin Blog - People You Can Trust!

SiteHoppin Widget Optimization!

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but we have changed our Beer Widgets to SiteHoppin Widgets (SH Widgets) and they are also now “family-friendly”

Anyways, part of decision to change SiteHoppin branding is to build SiteHoppin as a global brand, not just a niche drunken site.  (Also, there’s been a lot of changes in my life that had this effect, mostly good though)

This new widget is also simpler and brighter so it will catch your reader’s eyes while not annoying them.

Enjoy~

You can get your widgets on your user page btw.

Well, it’s time to let everyone know what I have been doing behind the background while SiteHoppin was in hibernation mode over the last 9 months or so.

First, I had to concentrate on growing the network of blogs I run for myself and other corporations since this was my steady income.

Second, I didn’t do this because of my selfishness to make money, I did it for everyone.

Why?

Well, the blog network is the marketing core behind SiteHoppin.  Without free blog marketing (1 million uniques per month) from the Zedomax Blog Network, SiteHoppin wouldn’t have a chance in this fierce Web 2.0 world.

By building the blog networks, we have actually built a great foundation for free marketing.

You grow, I grow and I grow, you grow Concept

Web 2.0 is all about growing a portfolio of different websites/blogs, not just one.  If you only grew one website, you live by the sword and die by it.

In contrast, we have over 20+ blogs/websites in the network.  (Not all of them are public of course)

This is the marketing core behind SiteHoppin, 1 million unique free advertising.

Anyways, I hope y’all feel a little better that I’ve told you what I do in the background.

Here’s my quote for today:

“Things are not always what they seem.  Don’t judge people by their outside looks.”

It’s funny because I met an V.P executive of a software company at my local grocery store the other day at the checkout in my shorts and over-worn T-shirt.

He asks me, “Are you a student?”  I guess judging by my humble outfit, he thought I must be a poor student who can barely afford his food and rent.

I answer, “No, I run a web business.” (I really wanted to add, “and I don’t have to work for a boss like you, I work from home anytime I want, anywhere I want.  Does V.P.  at a software company give you those privileges?”)

The funniest part is I thought SiteHoppin would be the site that’d pay all my bills by now.  Actually, I’ve lost a lot more money on SiteHoppin and it’s all the little blogs that add up to a nice paycheck every month.

Post from: SiteHoppin Blog - People You Can Trust!

Marketing Core Behind SiteHoppin!

Probably the most successful blog/website I have ever made so far (that brought in the most money) is Zedomax.com.  Above is the total graph of Zedomax.com stats from Day 1 (August 14th, 2006) until now.

Even with Zedomax.com, there was a big traffic spike at the beginning (due to some of my blog posts making on the front page of Digg, well it wasn’t even a blog then).

Anywayz, a lot of people wonder if SiteHoppin will suddenly die and the clear answer is no because you have someone with previous experience of building a website on a long term basis, me, Max. =p

I am not showing off here, I am just proving to you that I’ve done this before, Web 2.0 is nothing new to me.

What’s important is that I am on the edge of technology, trying to develop something that’s Web 2.0+, not selling outdated technology.

In comparison to Zedomax.com, I think SiteHoppin is on similar track to gain more visitors but with more possiblity of exponential growth. (since it’s NOT a blog, a social networking site)

Every time I do random jobs for various different corporations, they always ask me, “when is it going to take off?”

Well, usually, I answer back about a year later, “It has took off, I just proved it to you.” and of course, my clients are very happy.  (Of course, SiteHoppin has been put on hold due to personal emergencies such as paying my rent but it’s coming back!)

If you are in life for success, especially in this Web 2.0 business, you have to look at the long term goals and make strategies that will work over 6-12 months, not 1-2 months.

I’ve actually fallen into that trap before with One Buck Wiki and other sites.  But don’t worry, I never take the money and run.  (At least, I will make sure to get millions and distribute among our Beer Stock Owners)

Of course, I still maintain all the wiki sites so they are on “hibernation” right now.  (I will take them to another level at some point but SiteHoppin is of importance right now)

Our goal right now for SiteHoppin is to multiply daily traffic levels up by 10X by next December.  It’s not a bad goal at all, considering the base web traffic, base SEO, and base users we have.

One of the most important things in Web 2.0 business is to outlast the recession and bad economy (for Web 2.0, that means hibernation of a project).  Well, I’ve kept that word, SiteHoppin will always be running no matter what my financial situation is.  (btw, SH runs on $400/month dedicated server)

A lot of Web 2.0 start-ups have millions of dollars in funding, such as Pownce, which recently got shut down.  (In contrast, we have about $5000 in funding from founder myself and 1-man programming team, but we are still HERE!!! )

In the past, I have invested almost 20 grand out of my pocket on various different blog projects before I even made a dime!   SiteHoppin in comparison is a small investment but with possibility of exponential growth.

Well, the next step is to pay off the affiliates that have earned more than $100.  I am still coding that so, hopefully, everyone will be paid out by end of the month plus you will get 10% extra incentive for any late payments.

Anyways, enough BSing, you should grab a beer and start SiteHoppin!  Tell your friends about it, let’s grow some real BUZZ.

SiteHoppin has officially just started walking, next step is to really start talkin’ and runnin’ =)

The Main Reason Why SiteHoppin Will Be Successful!

Well, we have been doing this Site Hoppin for awhile now, almost a year, let’s take a quick peek at what the real traffic stats look like.

The thing I like about this graph is that it’s growing. (although there’s some parts needing fixing on the site itself, that should boost more traffic)

For the year 2009, our goal will be to raise unique visitors per day from 2,561 to 20,561.   Well, that sounds kinda lofty but that’d bring everyone some serious web traffic.

The funniest part about the graph is that from about end of March until couple days ago, we didn’t do a darn thing but pay for server fees.  It’s a good thing it “grows” by itself, we are still twitching our heads about that.

Well, we still got a month to go, let’s if we can reach 1 million uniques before that. =)

SiteHoppin Long Term Outlook!

UPDATE: FIXED!

It looks like there’s some coding that might not update some thing in the site, if anyone notices, please let me know. =)

Free SH Credits under Construction!

If you haven’t got free SH credits, please leave a comment here with your username and we will send them to you.  (Watch for random e-mails from SiteHoppin!)

We figure it’d be a great way to start off the next year a little bit early by giving out lots of free traffic. =)

Yey, we are back in full force again, well at least for today. I did make some changes to the site today and there will be more to come but you can watch the video on what is going to happen to SiteHoppin.

Some of the points I highlight that might be even useful for those of you bloggers/website owners:

- How to recycle traffic
- Branding, branding, branding
- Less is More

Well, you know how funny things are when I made this video last night, thinking I will work on SiteHoppin starting in January.  I got so excited that I actually did work on the site this morning for couple hours.  (3 months down to 3 hours of programming)

Anyways, I got lots of other stuff to finish up this month so that might be just the start of what I will be doing but check out our new homepage!

(Click to Enlarge)

Btw, thanks to everyone of you who complained about our domain name transfer.  We’ve got more blog posts linking to SiteHoppin’ than if we didn’t have that DNS failure.  (Speaking of which, maybe we should just shut the servers down when we need to send a message.)

Also another thing, I might have had some aggressive behavior and picked up a lot of haters but I decided to let go of all that and start anew.  I give my sincere apologies to anyone I offended, it’s partly because of my Korean culture and city-upbringing. Koreans tend to be fast and hot-tempered, something I picked up as a child so…

Anyways, please enjoy my 3 hours of rapid programming and internet branding.  I am also in the process of writing an internet branding strategy book called, “Search”.  I will give them out for free to long-time SiteHoppers too so watch out for that over on my Ad Optimization blog.

SiteHoppin Waking Up From Hibernation!

UPDATE: It seems like Network Solutions is having problems with some computers, the DNS delegation thang is taking WAY too long, sorry folks if you had a longer down time than 2-3 hours.  I have a multi-IP computer at home that connects to cellular network in Hawaii and Floria and seems like some areas have not still updated fully.  Please feel free to take the widget until DNS has all be resolved.

Sorry everybody,

I had to move SiteHoppin domain to GoDaddy from Network Solutions yesterday and the SH widgets were probably not loading for 2-3 hours during DNS server delegation. (GoDaddy is so much cheaper and more reliable and Network Solutions kept charging me for domains I didn’t want renewed, what a flawed system it is.)

It shouldn’t have happened but because the DNS server delegation took 2-3 hours more than usual, your sites might have had some SH widget slow-loading problems.

I am usually expert on domain transfers but somehow the transfer wasn’t so unnoticable this time.  (one in a million I swear, I transfer domains every month)

Anyways, domain will stay on GoDaddy for next 10+ years so it won’t happen again.  Sorry~

A new video will be posted later today to explain some of the changes SH will be going through.

A lot of people think we are dead and yes we are in a way (hibernating) but I got some really crazy new ideas for next year and hope you all take it as a long-term thang.

Great stuff don’t happen overnight, it takes time and effort. :p

SiteHoppin Domain Transfer to GoDaddy!

New landing page for Homepage.   I will have to change the toolbar a little so, watch out for that too.

We will become the new “hoppin” search engine where people can type in any word and it will “hop” (hopefully) to an interesting site.  We will have to forego iframes but they should still be accessible if you want to find them.

Former widgets and advertising programs will change to “Advertising” where you can buy a keyword and let it “hopp” to your site if a user types your keyword.  Well, later on we will also add actual search results somehow.

New Homepage Design for SiteHoppin for Branding!

I’ve like to announce that my financial situation (as you well know I have been broke during most of development of this site and had 40K of debt with maxed out credit cards and no income coming in).

To keep myself from going bankrupt, I’ve had to do a LOT of thinking and SiteHoppin simply wasn’t a great business model.

Anyways, I even owe some money to affiliates who have earned their money.

The good news is that I have been working my ass off and finally started making money on blogs and random jobs such as making E-commerce sites, blogs, and other cool Web2.0+ stuff for friends and family who needed my help.

All affiliates will be given their commission real soon here, I will also need to fix some coding changes to report affiliates based on monthly basis.

Plus, since I have not paid for your commissions, I will pay an extra 10% interest on all your commissions.

In the future, we will also set the minimum payout for commissions to $100, it simply doesn’t make sense to pay affiliates $1 via paypal and then get 70 cents.  (That’s just too much work for me and plus not enough incentive for affiliates to get to the first $100)

(Please also note that I have been paying about $400/month on a quad-CPU server to keep this site running this far, I wouldn’t do that unless I had long term plans)

I am deeply sorry again for not paying for those commissions on time, I simply couldn’t do it since this site wasn’t making money and I had to resort to other methods such as optimizing blogs and making money off AdSense.

I will also re-branding SiteHoppin as a “search” engine instead of just the SiteHoppin Toolbar.

The Toolbar will of course be always available and updated with “search” emphasis.

Thanks to those supporters out there as always, I will be re-inventing SiteHoppin as a domain search engine and submit new domains.

Plus, you Beer Stock owners will benefit greatly as we build this new SiteHoppin search engine.
(For example, you type “Beer” on the search engine and it will go to your Beer Stock Page directly.)

As far as advertising, we will start implementing Google Adsense and Chitika using the blog marketing methods I have learned while SiteHoppin was in hibernation.

Plus, we will be getting rid of “beer” and any alcoholic-related associations with SiteHoppin.  It’s simply not a great idea for promoting a business that can grow big unless our goal was only to sell beers in the long run.  If we simply didn’t have “beer” in our business model, we could be making about $50/day on search traffic even as we speak now with AdSense.

I still have a bunch of projects to do until end of this month so after that, I will be implementing some great changes that will benefit both you by bringing more web traffic and search traffic.

If you want to know what I have in mind, you can take a look at my latest idea over at Zedomax.Biz.

I will still be getting drunk as hell behind the scenes, I’ve simply decided not to put the “beer” in the videos for branding purposes.

Plus, my dad, who is also an international entrepreneur, is really getting on my case about having my drunken videos online.

I hope you all understand my new decision to brand more sober SiteHoppin.

Heck, I am glad this site still gets a good 2000-3000 unique visitors per day during hibernation.  That’s something that we can build on and make a lot of money instead of starting from scratch.

Well, it’s already 4AM here, I have another E-store project due tomorrow so I can finally pay your commissions and pay bills too.

I’d like to also shout out to Josh at Unconventional Marketing, he’s really been the force and my business partner for SiteHoppin.

Eventually, we will also have the whole SiteHoppin code available as open source and contribute my knowledge back to the community under GPL license.

Anyways, cheers, I will definitely be doing a lot of new things that will hopefully be ready by January 1st, 2008, 1st year celebration of SiteHoppin.com.
