Okay, I admit it, I’m addicted to Curling!
A week and a half ago I would come home from work, eat dinner and begin working on the various projects I have going.
This past week, things have changed. I get home, eat dinner and then sink in to the couch for some Olympic Curling. I don’t care what Nations are competing…I’m watching.
My family thinks I’m crazy, my Fiance thinks I’m crazy, but I can’t get enough of this damn Curling!
Well, I found a way to watch Curling and not feel bad about falling behind on the stuff I am working on.
Ok, this may sound crazy but Curling is a lot like finding success online.
Did you just roll your eyes? I have a feeling you aren’t the only one.
In Curling you are trying to get your stones closer to the center of the “House” than your competitor’s stones. I’m going to simplify it for the sake of this post and call it a target. Sorry Curling enthusiast, please don’t send me hate mail.
When trying to be successful online you want to hit your target. But just like in Curling sometimes you come up short. Other times you hit your target and then you get knocked out by your competitor soon after. You then have to try again to reclaim your spot.
Whether you are trying to rank number one for your keyword in Google, become the number one product in your space or create your own product, you will have obstacles in your way.
Much like Curling you’ll have to come up with a strategy on how you want to deal with those obstacles. Will you meet them head on, take a different route around them, or play it safe in hopes that your competition will make a mistake allowing you to succeed?
Now I know this all may be a stretch, but right now I’m watching Curling…I’m happy, and I’m becoming a better online businessman because if it.
Even if it isn’t true, there is no changing my mind, because that is what I will be telling myself until the Olympics and Curling come to an end.

Yes!!! My dreams have been answered!
The long nights put in after my normal job…
The hours of time spent learning new products and techniques…
The hard work trying to create content you will enjoy…
The constant tweaking to increase profits…
Well here’s the good news I received via email yesterday.
Eric Transue,
**********************************************
WOW! You had best get on this QUICK!
**********************************************
I just found out that there’s a brand new site that is giving out a “magic code” that when added to any site FORCES it to just start making money!
No kidding! – you just add the code, and like magic your site just starts pouring money into your pocket!
I’m NOT joking – I’ll show you PROOF in a moment!

Wow a “magic code”! I’ve always loved magic so this is great.
This is better than Houdini’s “buried alive” trick!
Don’t believe me? Check out the rest of the email below.
But what you need to know most is this:
* You can add this “magic code” to any site in just 45 seconds!
* You can add it to an unlimited number of sites!
* You can “rinse & repeat” this over & over to make as much money as you can ever imagine!
* After adding just this code, you don’t have to do anything else!
* You just sit back and make all the cash you could ever ask for!
And again, it all comes in a simple little PDF that contains everything you need, including full instructions, so you can get started in the next 15 minutes!
>> My advice would be to move on and get there FAST!
It’s rumored that the guy who operates the site may either LIMIT how many people are allowed in on his “secret magic code,” or at the very least “choke” down the flow of how many people he gives it out to, and so as not to let just anybody and everybody spoil this.
I also heard that he may stop offering anymore copies after some time (and without notice) just to keep competition “alive and well” (but who really knows?)
Regardless of which, it’s my understanding that once you’re in, *YOU’RE IN!* (So I wouldn’t waste time if I were you, or worse still: I WOULD NOT RISK IT!)
In all seriousness I read this email after a long night of watching training videos on a new product I am using LinkDozer.
LinkDozer is not a set it and forget it product. It is a powerful tool and training system. It is not for beginners who are looking to get rich quick.
I have spent the last few weeks watching the videos and reading the forums in preparation for my first LinkDozer project. I’m real excited to get started, but want to make sure I completely understand the whole process first.
There are many products out there that are supposedly similar to Link Dozer but after joining and going through the training videos the last couple of weeks I’m going to have to disagree.
Sorry to go off on a tangent, but my point is, to see results you have to work for them.
I’d love to point you in the direction of a magic wand or magic code that will “start pouring money into your pocket”, unfortunately I have yet to find it.
So until then…back to work for me…talk to you soon.

As an Internet Marketer I love testing out new ideas and techniques to see what is and what isn’t working.
The problem is, if I make a mistake such as building links to fast or getting links from sites Google frowns upon, I take the chance of getting my test sites sandboxed or deindexed.
I’m probably a little paranoid, but I also fear that other sites I host on the same IP and server may be negatively affected as well.
If you use a hosting company such as Hostgator, which I do use for some of my sites and love, you get a limited number of IP addresses to use depending on your package. You can always add more for an additional cost if necessary.
I recently found a nice alternative for hosting multiple domains.
The hosting company I found allows you to not only use different IPs for each website, but also to choose which region you would like to host them in.
As you can see in the picture below there are several locations you can choose from, both in the US and abroad for hosting your domain.
HostNine Region Selection
The name of the hosting company I found is Host Nine.
I’ve been using Host Nine (also displayed as Host 9 or Hostnine) for the past 2 months to try out some different Internet Marketing scenarios.
I do want you to know that [click to continue…]
