Well it’s Monday afternoon, it’s pouring down rain, and I’m busier than ever. Anyway I thought it would be a great way to start off the week, by talking a little bit about what’s been going and and where I’m heading. It’s all a part of my decision to be proactive in my business and so on the blog it goes.

I’m a Woo Themes Forum Ninja

As I’m sure you all have seen, I’m sporting a fancy new banner by the Woo Themes Team. This past week, the head honchos over there, including one of my all time favorite bloggers, Adii, asked if I would help out around the shop and help answer all those mysterious Woo Theme questions. WOW, what a tough job it is! However, I’ve got to say, that honestly it has got to be one of the best forums around. I know that Brian Gardner’s Revolution has some great support too, but man-o-man… The Woo Themes Team really nailed what it is to offer help a fellow blogger. So if you’d like my artistic and professional opinion… head on over there, scoop yourself up an awesome theme and start kicking blogosphere ass! Yeh, it be cool if you used one of MY links, I working on my monetization goals remember! LOL. Is your blog sexy?

An Ugly Stick Beatdown…. The Quick Version

Sometime last week, I got an e-mail from a guy named Troy or Tam or Twan or Twit… hell I can’t even remember the guys name… asking for an ugly stick beatdown. The funny thing is that he wanted a beatdown on himself. Entrepreneur I am, sadist, I am not… so after a little debate and a bit of arm wrestling… we settled on a fee for a quick mention here on Piss Biscuit. It’s all part of my business plan remember!

Tony… yeh, that’s his name… from RockinDaily.com wants all of you to go and visit his blog. Technically, I’m supposed to beat his blog down, since that is what he paid for, but since it was a partial fee, he gets a partial open handed slap rather than a full fledged uppercut. His blog is a bit boring. His Adsense ads slap you in the face as soon as you log on, so to me it screams monitization. Smells like a flip coming on, but that’s okay if that’s his plan. So in the spirit of showing Tom some love PB style, head on over to RockinDaily.com and leave some hate mail, spam, or even affiliate loaded links. He won’t mind a bit.

PB was up for sale at SitePoint

Some of you slicker site flipping masterminds might have found the listing of PB on sitepoint this past 10 days but now that it’s over I can make fun of myself for trying. I got a few e-mails, a couple of bids, and the auction closed at a whopping $750.00 bucks…LOL. I listed the site more for fun, however if the right buyer had come along, with the right money… I’d walk. But since it didn’t sell for anything worth bragging about, I’ll just jump back on my bandwagon and join the pitty party over at my favorite blogshpere bar… The Lesson Learned Watering Hole”. It was fun, but not very profitable.

Traffic Stats and More

It’s been quite a while since talking about traffic and the myriad of other little goodies that I like to look at, so I’ll throw it in here as part of the Monday warm up. I’m touching on about 63,000 page views, 312 unique visitors a day and growing strong. I hope the trend keeps up in which case I’ll stay motivated… it’s been a while since crying the blogger’s blues… I’d like to keep it that way!

If This Blog Could Talk

Bling Bling Joe from ImwithJoe.com interviewed me this past week for his latest creation IfThisBlogCouldTalk.com. I love the concept and I love what he’s doing with the design. I know the site has been saying “maintenance mode” for a while now, but now that I’ve made a big deal about it… he’ll just have to get his ass into gear. Let’s put the pressure on him people!

It’s Christmas in August

Our buddy Yan, who’s been a bit scarce around these parts lately is holding a pretty damn good contest if you haven’t heard. It’s called Christmas in August and between he and his awesome sponsors… he’s giving away quite a big bag of goodies. The Best part about Yan’s contest is that the man is giving away multiple prizes to multiple winners. He’ not putting on any old contest, so head on over to Blog for Beginners and get yourself hooked up with Christmas in August!

Well I was about to head home from the office when my reader went ding! It was FullTiltBlogging’s feed reader and when I read the headline, I almost flipped my wig. Arron, has decided to and I quote:

Each week you will have the opportunity to recommend a marketing babe to possibly be elevated to “Marketing Babe of the Week” status. The Marketing Babe will get her picture prominently placed on my blog, a complete bio page and links back to their blog.

It’s a win-win-win-win-win-win. (That’s a six-way win, which is far superior to the “win-win” and at least twice as good as the “win-win-win”.)

I knew that some of these guys were cut throat, but straight up stealing an idea is simply pathetic and I’m pretty pissed about it. Arron’s one and a half paragraph posts and “borrowed” ideas have really burned my ass and I’m pretty pissed off about it.

Talk About A Low Blow!

If I remember correctly, it was not even a week ago, when I presented an idea for a new section on Piss Biscuit offering to do the same thing… but of course only better! But wait, Arron is calling it “Marketing Babes” Okay, so the ONLY change Arron has made is calling it “Marketing Babes”. Holy smokes Arron, you could have been a bit more original don’t ya think!!!

Payback is Hell!

Now, I’m more determined than ever to get all these submissions I received posted and get this baby kicked off ASAP! The only thing exciting is his first submission! So where do we stand with this? Good question! Since this has now become a war of contrition for me, I’m willing to offer almost anything to show ‘em what we’ve got.

Make money online blogs wage wars all the time… so I’m getting prepared to dig in and fight! I think I’m going to have to recruit UBTC for help as she is in with all the lady bloggers (I hope). Maybe this is worth a custom theme designed by yours truly!

Spartans! Ready your breakfast and eat hearty… For tonight, we dine in hell!
