Your Own Advertising Network & Keep All Income

Of course, we badly need good alternatives to Google® and Yahoo!® with the best and possibly the only viable option at this time being selling ad space yourself via your our own in-house Advertising Network. A major benefit from running your own advertising network is you keep 100% of the revenue.

Frank Schilling had a very nice Advertising Network of his own running on his domain names but I believe it was deactivated last year for some odd reason. I can only guess as to why.

We would like to install an ad network almost exactly the way Frank’s network worked on all our sites but having lots of difficulty getting it programmed after considerable time and effort.

The problem is the programmers we were trying to hire for the work were simply not capable of doing the job. Therefore, we would really appreciate finding out who the programmer was who programmed Frank’s old advertising network? We have spent considerable time in search of Frank’s Ad Network programmer, including a number of posts about it on Twitter and Facebook but no success. Does anyone know the programmers name or contact information?

P.S. As an interesting side note to demonstrate the major players are trying to improve their own domains and traffic (as small site developers and domain owners are too) we just noticed Fabulous.com (who is a major player with the PPC firms) is both surprisingly and mysteriously using a competitors platform and ad feed on a domain (I imagine far more names than just the one we stumbled on today).

Fabulous is using WhyPark.com (at least with the domain name we noticed today) which is owned by an arch-rival of Fabulous named Parked.com. Isn’t it interesting that Fabulous would use a competitors program instead of their own system!

FYI, the Fabulous.com domain name we are reporting on (which as of today’s date was on the WhyPark.com platform) is registered to FABULOUS.COM PTY LTD.

Any comments you have about website advertising and ad serving networks will be appreciated. Thank you.

Domain Inquiry Sounds Better vs Domain For Sale

There has been talk on the forum boards about the best way to place a notice on your website that your domain name is for sale. Fabulous.com does a good job combining PPC ads with a domain for sale announcement page and developed a type of hybrid between a parked page and a sales page. With that said, ‘This Domain Name is For Sale’ notice does a fairly good job of getting people to make offers, but there appears to be a better way.

That Fabulous page is a good approach but I would like it even more if the banner said “Domain Inquiry” since I believe “This Domain Name is For Sale” notice will detract from the the visitor experience and potential visits to your advertisers (at least to to a degree) since the page may have has less crediblity due to the site/domain being offered for sale. The words “Domain Inquiry” has a less obvious negative meaning to a web-surfer, imo.

Any reviews, comments or ideas you have about how to effectively and professionally sell Internet domain names or websites would be appreciated. Thank you.

Follow Me on Twitter can have Interesting Benefits

Unfortunately, I was a late-starter with twitter.com since I did not really start using it until earlier this year, and even more recently started doing more than occasional tweets.

In the past I did not fully realize the great power and potential of Twitter. Twitter is also an extremely interesting way to get some free publicity for your websites or web-pages, in addition to its main purpose which I think (but not positive) is simply talking about news events, or saying what you are doing today, or what you have done lately.

Some recently discovered hands-on marketing advice I can give you is that it’s probably best if you extracted some interesting and helpful content from your web site and posted it as a tweet, instead of simply announcing your site and posting a link to the URL.

More advice is that you post to your Facebook page a link to your Twitter account so people can start following you and also put up a graphical link to Twitter on any relevant websites you have access to, similar to the Follow-Me-on-Twitter image below.

One more thing is I ask you to please go to @webtrading or click-on the picture below to Follow-Me-on-Twitter now. Thank you!

Catch a Trending Market with Charts & W D Gann

This commodity futures trading methodology originates with the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) based school of commodities and stock market trading systems. It’s designed for part-time traders who have no time or inclination to always monitor the markets and closely watch their charts and quotes all day.

Most all commodity and stock market trading systems are trend following in one way or the other. However, the trend length may be long-term or short-term. My intention here is to locate commodities and stock market trading system’s to catch the longer swings, and filter out as many go nowhere whip-saws as possible, plus it can be easily monitored without the use of a computer and with a minimum of time spent studying quotes and charts.

The believed to be greatest trader of all-time Mr. William D. Gann (better known as W. D. Gann) inspired the use of swing charts as a filter for indicating trending market moves. Gann successfully used a combination of various time-frames, the most well known being 3-days, 7-days, and his quarterly swing-charts. Gann taught the now well-known traders adage about that longer time frames are the more reliable and powerful when a buy or sell signal was given.

My own analysis uses a 14-day trend reversal. How do you plot it? Simply mark on chart paper a vertical line when today’s price is higher than it was 14-days ago and keep drawing on up until today’s price is below that 14 days ago when you show the line coming down again. What could be simpler?

How then is a swing chart used? First, it gives a broad indication the market trend could continue in the direction of the current swing. Support and resistance levels are clearly shown and once the swing passes prior swing highs or goes under previous swing-lows, greater weight is given, W. D. Gann said new highs should be bought and new lows sold.

However, as with all long term trend following systems – first pick a market with prolonged trending actions. The foreign currency markets are personal favorite markets to trade – frequently embarking on long term trends with a minimum of whipsaw and sideways market price action.

Using a swing-chart to place my trades, the swing commodity trading system is always in the market. Over 3-years in a bull market and prior to a major bear run, the system has produced 48 trades, with a most impressive 2:1 win loose ratio. This producing a profit of $18,400 per futures contract. However the maximum drawdown was high at 19 cents – more than most traders could stomach.

By adding a simple rule of setting a maximum stop-loss of 2 cents, the maximum drawdown became 8 cents with profitability boosted to 49.5 cents or $30,937.5 per contract. After deducting $100 for  slippage and commission per trade, this easy to monitor trade system shows how a simple technique can produce impressive profits.

Gann’s forecasts of price movements and his ability to multiply money was mind-boggling, not only for traders of that era but by any standard of today. For example, he would predict a stock (or commodity) trading at 145 would go to 164-7/8 but not to 165, and it would do exactly that. 

William Delbert Gann – known world-wide as W. D. Gann, is a trading legend in the world of Stock & Commodity trading. Born June 6, 1878 in Lufkin, Texas. W.D. Gann started in commodity and stock-market trading in the year 1902. By 1908 Gann moved to New York City opening his own brokerage firm, W.D.Gann & Co., located at 18th & Broadway.  After many decades of incredible trading success, W.D. Gann moved to Miami, Florida where he continued his writings and studies up until Mr. Gann’s death on June 14 1955.

W.D. Gann’s trading profits are estimated as high as $50,000,000. Keep in mind he traded in the first half of the century. Mr. Gann, in the presence of representatives of a major financial publication (the Wall Street Journal was later derived from it) Gann made 286 trades in 25-market days, on both the long and short side of the market. Of these 286 trades, and amazing 264 were profitable trades, which is an incredible 92% profitable transactions!

Eyebrow Serums Help Women with Beauty Issues

Women are very concerned about their eyebrows, eyelashes and facial wrinkles, including crows-feet. As a result women of all ages are looking for good eye serums and in particular for eyebrow serums and other beauty and anti-wrinkle products. Our new eyebrow serum web site can help with these important skin and beauty issues.

A number of women who care a lot about having beautiful skin and a younger overall look seem to neglect the eyebrows and eyelids, instead concentrating attention on skin and face smoothing, dark spots, wrinkles, face contouring, skin sag, sagging face and discolored skin areas seen near sometimes puffy looking eyes.

These women also tend toward using eyelash growth serum, which continuing use can sometimes make women look older vs their real age, instead it’s best if they use quality eye creams based on their most important treatment areas. Eyebrow creams, botanical oils, eye serum, skin lotion and skin gels can also improve the health and appearance of their eye areas, eyebrows and wrinkles.

Simple Way To Predict Market Turning Points

A Simple Way To Predict Market Turning Points (and impress your friends) – originally written by Bob Pelletier (President of CSI – CSIdata.com

This brief report is designed to advise those who may have an interest in systems, methods, or services which predict market turning points, such as stock market or forex market far into the future. If you have been solicited by any firm that does this, you may gain some important insight into this area by reading on. Whether you plan to purchase such a service, system or secret is your personal choice. CSI has no preference for one commercially available procedure over another. We simply wish to point out facts that may be helpful.

If I were to tell you to “Pick any date in the future, for any commodity or currency trading and I will show you the next turning point that will occur relative to that date.” You might think I’m crazy, or strongly doubt my claim. The truth is, that anyone can do this within an accuracy of, say, three days about 70% of the time, or within four days 80 to 90 per cent of the time.

The secret depends upon how one defines “turning points”. Suppose we define intermediate market swings or turning points to occur about 25 times per year, or twice per month. Since there are about 250 trading days per year, this allows for one turning point per 10 days. With a dart and a calendar into the future, the dart will hit some seven day time interval (the day hit plus or minus three days) each time it is thrown. If turning points occur, on the average, once every 10 days, then there is a 70% chance my dart will include a turning point within three days.

Additionally, if I knew that last week there was a definite low, my next turning point will be a peak. I’m not interested in 1997; I may not live that long. I can only make money if I can bet on the next immediate turning point for various cycle lengths.

There is not enough room in this Newsletter to show how market turning points can be predicted with more reliability, but it is possible to provide an unbiased estimate of the next peak and the next trough for each given predominate cycle period. Using a method which treats peaks independent of troughs can produce a non-regular period between peaks and troughs (a more realistic behavior) for future market cycles.

Before spending your hard-earned funds on any system, be careful to discover what you can do under purely chance conditions without it.

Easily Bruised Skin Causes & Treatment Options

Skin changes and bruising are among the most visible signs of aging. Other evidence of increasing age includes face sagging skin and unwanted (especially by women) easily noticeable dark skin spots and facial wrinkles. Skin changes over the years are closely related to genetics, environment, nutrition and other factors.

The most significant factor for skin damage and easy bruising is sun exposure (with aspirin and blood thinners also being major contributing factors). This can be seen by comparing areas of your body that have regular sun exposure with areas that are protected from sunlight. Natural pigments provide some protection against sun-caused skin damage, with blue-eyed, blond or red headed, and fair-skinned people show more skin changes and skin damage vs people with darker, more heavily pigmented skin.

Changes in the skin tissues reduce the skin’s strength and skin elasticity, which is much more obvious in a body’s sun exposed areas. Skin elastosis causes leathery, weather-beaten skin appearance common to construction workers, farmers, sailors, and others who spend lots of time outdoors.

Blood vessels near the skins surface may become fragile, which leads to skin bruising, which is basically a result of bleeding under the skin. Glands make less oil as you age. Men experience a comparative minor decrease in oil and mostly after age 80. However, women gradually produce less oil beginning at a much younger age, usually by their late 40′s or early 50s). Reduced natural oils can make it harder to keep the skin moist, resulting in dry skin and itchiness.

About Green Couches & Ancient Sea Creatures

There are a couple things we have been wondering about regarding both ancient sea creatures and green couches so I posted this on a third partiy site but it was immediatey automatically rejected by the blog as being spam (which it is not) so am posting it here since some readers may find it interesting.

Since at the time we were in the process of purchasing the domain name GreenCouches.com we were doing research about green couches so this was mainly about “Green Couches” which were discussed on that web site.

We asked if the term green couches refers to both the color of the couch and in addition, it being manufactured from non-toxic materials? Also, can a non-toxic couch be called a “green couch” if it’s a different color such as tan or brown for example, or is it usually in-fact green in color?

Another subject of interest is wanting to learn about is what was unique about that website as far as the design goes since it was said the site is somehow similar to ancient sea creatures which have spiral shapes? That was regarding the interesting sea creature picture and the statement: “a fossil of ammonite, an extinct ancient sea creature, which is often used as an “index fossil” to link the rock layer in which they are found to specific geological time periods.

How does a website possibly embody the basic shape of the spiral, a growth pattern used throughout nature because it allows the organism to grow at a constant rate without having to change shape (as does the structure upon which this that site was built)?

Do any readers of DavidGreen.com blog have any thoughts about how the spiral natural shape of the ancient sea creature fossils (pictured below) could somehow be related to making good websites?

Dallas Cowboys Alleged Domain Price Stupidity

Part of the problem with domain name disputes and domain complaints is the fact so many companies are unwilling to spend a fair amount of money buying already registered domains to protect their valuable brands.

A more or less perfect example is how the Dallas Cowboys representatives made a bid of only $275 (really $275 and not a misprint) for the great Cowboys.com domain name at an auction when other auction bids were in the general area of 200k or higher.

However, strangely the Cowboys allegedly grossly misunderstood the auction price level (in spite of the fact a series of auction bids had worked their way up to more than $200,000., while they were present in-person at the venue) but somehow were oddly thinking a bid of just $275 would buy that great domain. Isn’t that amazing! They say the truth is stranger than fiction. A story like that is so far fetched it could not be made-up!

There is a TV show about the World’s Dumbest and the Dallas Cowboys reps at the domain auction (who I heard it said at least one was a Cowboys attorney) should definitely be on that show based on the alleged auction bidding events.

The proposed world’s dumbest appearance would include the upper management where for just 275k (which should be insignificant to an assumed billion dollar plus business) they later cancelled their absurd $275 bid after being informed the bid should have been $275,000.

This incredible true story about some of the alleged dumbest people on the planet is very hard to believe but this did in fact happen a few years ago.

Are Yahoo Traffic Quality Scores Nonsensical?

Yahoo! is a major advertising feed provider for a few well known domain name parking firms. Domains which are not active websites are usually parked so the domain-name owner gets an opportunity to earn revenue from pay-per-click ads which appear on the pages which are parked.

One of the larger and best domain parking firms is Parked.com, who reports by way of a graphical line chart viewable on the clients dashboard page showing their web-page visitor traffic quality scoring.

Even since the Yahoo feed traffic scores were openly disclosed we have always thought the scores made little sense and seemed nonsensical since the scores fluctuate a lot even though the parked domains and their visitor traffic stays basically the same.

In the past (again with about the same quality traffic) our score has ranged from a very low 1 and all the way up to a consistent 9 or 10, with 10 being the highest possible score, and has held as a 9 or 10 for  long time periods. Here is our most recent quality score report according to Yahoo! which covers the last nine quality score iterations:

2.5 – 3.0 – 0 – 0 – 6.0 – 1.0 – 1.0 – 5.5 – 7.0

In our opinion, it appears to be virtually impossible for such wild fluctuations to take place. In fact, the visitor quality scores almost appear like random numbers, keeping in mind the parked domains and their combined traffic are basically the same for the entire reporting period. What do you think?

New Oxygen Therapy For Migraine Headaches

Headaches are common for most all of us but migraines and cluster headaches are a serious medical condition. It’s difficult for doctors to help with migraine headache relief except for a few prescription drugs and injections with the drug sumatriptan, but frequent use of the drugs are not recommended because of potential serious drug side-effects.

Medical researchers have discovered oxygen appears to be an effective treatment for serious headaches. People with cluster headaches can have as many as eight headaches per day, with the ongoing headache bouts lasting for weeks at a time, or even months. Oxygen can be a more or less natural cure for migraine and cluster headaches.

Oxygen therapy is used by more and more headache pain sufferers looking for a better and non-toxic more natural solution to ongoing severe headaches. The oxygen may be administered at anytime and most anywhere, especially if the high flow oxygen comes from a portable source such as oxygen in a can. We are working toward making “oxygen in a can” for home headache relief and treatment available thru this web site soon.

Any comments you have about headaches would be most appreciated, which we could also add to our site since we are looking for personal feedback. You can visit OxygenForHeadaches website by going to Oxygen For Headaches now, or clicking-on the picture below…

About Teenage Children’s Issues, including Acne

Over the July 4th weekend we have been working on one of our growing group of children’s and kids websites, including our teenage childrens site. Added some dynamic new features, including Amazon affiliate program products (see the Amazon product graphic below), plus new images and links plus more work on the website content.

The teenage children site covers misc teen issues including teenage acne, teen health, smoking and depression. Acne is one of the most common problems in teenagers affecting almost 20-million teens in the USA. Having acne can be extremely depressing for teens and cause their self-worth and self-esteem to become poor.

Acne is a skin disorder involving glands and hair follicles. Acne results from the clogging of glands leading to the formation of pimples and cysts. The condition usually begins with the onset of puberty in kids as young as the pre-teen years. As teens reach puberty the androgens also known as sex hormones are produced in high numbers leading to glands becoming over-active, which results in sebum being produced in high proportions and acne rosacea setting in.

If the hair follicles are partially blocked it results in blackheads and when the follicles are totally blocked they become whiteheads. Untreated, they eventually burst causing the oil, bacteria and skin cells to spill all over the skin resulting in irritation and formation of acne pimples. Acne can be very near the skin surface or deep in the skin, depending on the nature of the teenagers skin and oil produced.

There are several known causes why Acne Rosacea starts in teenage children. In addition to rising hormone levels due to puberty it can also be blamed on factors such as intake of drugs which contain lithium, barbiturates and corticosteroids. Acne can also be caused due to excess grease and oil in the scalp, due to cooking oil and use of some cosmetics. Acne rosacea problems sometimes can be inherited too so in taht case diet and health are not a major factor.

If you can contribute a reviews or comments about teenagers and our teenage children web site it will be most welcome and appreciated. You can visit it by going to Teenage Children now, or clicking-on the picture below:

Hiccups Organization for Hiccups Tips & Advice

We have been adding content to http://hiccups.org/ including tips about easy cures for hiccups, especially involving baby hiccups, since hiccups in babies could be a serious medical condition. Babies often get hiccups from swallowing too much air when feeding, a common occurrence with babies and infants. If baby hiccups seem too frequent or serious, moms can experiment with baby feeding methods discussed on the hiccups.org site, so less air is swallowed when feeding. If baby hiccups seem too frequent or serious, moms may consider experimenting by buying and using quality breast pumps.

It’s likely bottle feeding of breast milk obtained from using breast pumps will result in less air being swallowed by your baby vs. direct from breast feeding. However, that sometimes can be reversed as each baby and baby feeding situation is different. Sucking too hard or eating a lot can make hiccups worse. It helps to burp the baby often during the feeding.

Older children may get hiccups from drinking too much carbonated beverages or eating too much too fast, especially spicy foods. An upset or too-full stomach can lead to hiccups. Hiccups can hurt, but are not normally harmless. And they don’t last very long. However, since your kids health is so important to you if young children get frequent or severe hiccups we suggest you take the child to the doctor for a check-up.

Even though we have been working on hiccups.org and adding tips and misc content, but it still needs much more web-content. Does anyone have any hiccup cures or tips they could share with us for posting on the hiccups organization site?

We would appreciate any comments you have about Hiccups – which feedback we could also add to our new web site as we are looking for hiccups tips and personal feedback to expand the hiccups.org web site, which site you can visit by going to hiccups.org now, or clicking-on the picture…
