An Important Animal Rights Issue

Hi folks. Survey Slug here with an important animal rights issue. Please take a moment to go sign the petition, and please boycott products from China where possible until this terrible practice is made illegal. Thanks!

Please this will only take 30 seconds of your time..

This is a call for signatures to a petition to help stop the LIVE skinning of cats & dogs. Yes that's right, LIVE... Imagine someone going up to your dog or cat and skinning it live. This is happening today in 2008 in China and it is DISGUSTING.

2) Watch the video to see it for yourself (see warning)
3) Sign the petition

WARNING: The video on that site is EXTREMELY graphic and definitely not for the faint hearted. If you are not the type who appreciates blood & gore, I recommend that you stick to the words on the site.

Please tell everyone.

Re-Arranged

I now have a new blog for my thoughts on affiliate marketing and am thinking of using this one as a place for webmaster tools. I may try to set both of them up in a "get paid to blog" capacity.

The tools at the bottom of the blog are really stellar. Here is a trick about keywords that I finally figured out--they have to actually exist in your page. Maybe that's a big "duh" for some of you but I never quite got that till recently. I think it may help me. Those items alone make this blog worth keeping! :-)

Piece Work

I've been doing HITs (Human Intelligence Tasks) at Mechanical Turk, which is part of the evil Amazon empire. You won't get rich doing this, but if you have about an hour a day to fart around, you can pick up an extra $25 or so a month.

It's like this, y'all

I'm having to streamline.

Fuck ebay, they've never done shit for me other than make me pay fees. I haven't sold shit through them. It's a pain in the ass to list your items. Waste of my damn money and time!
That's the first thing I'm cutting out. And I am unanimous in this. Seeing as I am the only voting member of my board.
Back when Phil Harvey was first starting Adam and Eve, the adult industry was still new and a bit taboo. Adam and Eve is a huge hit and I am proud to be one of their affiliates. My other adult web store that I pay $60 a month in hosting fees for has gone nowhere. I think I need to cut my losses.
I will keep the Dandy Yank store and the dollar store.
I'm going to quit while I'm behind with the Amazon web stores. You can get what's called an a-store for being an Amazon affiliate which I am. I need to be cutthroat rather than sentimental about this. Especially considering what a huge corporation Amazon is. Nobody's getting hurt except my wallet from my paying their hosting fees.
I need to redirect some of these hosting fees into advertising for the book and the stores I intend to keep.
I cannot take this personally. It's just business.

Stick This!

Stick Your Banner offers free banner advertising with no reciprocal link needed. This is great for sites like my mall which do not allow for a reciprocal banner link. A mini banner, size 88x31 is necessary. If you do not know how to create a banner or do not have the means of creating one, download the free trial of Banner Maker Pro. I love it so much I bought the full version. I will warn you that their HTML creator is crap although the banner creator itself is wonderful. Feel free to email me for sample banner HTML and help in creating your banner.

My New Dollar Shop Banner

I'm glad I finally figured out how to make my own HTML banners. I think this one turned out really well!
