Today RB listed my views at 40,051 since joining in May 2008. I keep thinking at some round number I will dump the account and start a new one with a new name, and trash any less-than-stellar work, but every ten thousand views those thoughts just come and go.

On Google SEO

Posted about 1 year ago

Google recently sent to me a US$100 coupon to return to “Google AdWords”: A year ago I used a $75 coupon and sold 2 shirts during that time. But spending $75 to make $10 wasn’t very persuasive [though perhaps neither was the copy in my ads….].

Collage past and future

Posted over 1 year ago

The Power of Tags in the new design!

Posted over 1 year ago

YES!! By using the tag “80s” on my X-CITY ROCKERS design, it landed on the 12th page of the Top Selling 80s T-Shirts page ! And since I’ve sold none of those, I think that means all the tees after that have sold less than none. I look forward to the bathtub full of promisory notes.

TWELFTH FTW!!!!!!
