Using my name or 59ideas

In a few of my blogs I had started to change my identity from 59ideas to Ken. I think more people prefer to know a person by real name than a nickname.

Not that I have anything to hide behind my handle (does anyone know what this word mean anymore?). I disclose about myself in the about page and if you like to know more just ask me.

Anyway, I’m see gradually more transactions lately and I plan to expand my online presence. So I want to assure everyone that you are dealing with trustworthy person, albeit in an unfamiliar part of the world.

Less to talk and more to come

Now that I have a few more sites running, I have less to talk about here. A random rant about spam and the collection of links from del.icio.us

I talk about Motorcycle, Online Revenue, Investing, Analytics, Free Business Softwares elsewhere. If you share similar interest, drop by.

Why so many blog? Check out my original goal.

So there are more sites to come, if you have some interesting ideas about what sites to build, I like to do it with you. It is getting less fun doing alone.

Sites using AdAdvantage

What can be more pleasing to a theme developer than people using it?

I came across a few sites using my K2 3 column scheme.

You are using the AdAdvantage K2 scheme. Leave a note!

What you search is what you write

Running out of ideas to blog? Try this.

Take note of what topic you had been searching for and write about those topic.

Why it works?

When you search for a topic, chances are some people are also searching for the same topic. This works especially well if the you cannot find any good answer for the topic.

Let me share my experience.

Pieces falling into place

Still in the refocus mode.

One thing that I think about often is how many things I am doing (many!) and how they can eventually fall in place, forming the BIG picture.

Maybe you know what I mean, maybe you don’t.

To sidetrack a little. It is not coincident that this site is named 59 ideas. “59″ is to be read as “finite”. Finite Ideas. Yes I try to keep my ideas finite, countable.

Seeking revenue online and building my business offline, that’s what I’m doing. In between I slot in a few more things.

Believe me I do have a vague picture of how things will come together but the destination is an ever changing one. Some say it is the journey not the destination.

The line between the online and offline is getting blur. What is on-line and what is off-line?

Yet in reality, the world, the people that I meet on and off line are so different that segregation is still a must.

How will all the pieces of ideas fall into place? That’s my thoughts and the common theme that strings the random posts in this blog.

Read a well researched article. For a change

Tired of your usual blog read? Try Benjamin Edelman’s website for a refreshing change.

If you are more impressed by fact than fantasy, then you will be impressed by what you read. Compared the usual blog rant supported by half-baked facts, Benjamin Edelman pieces are all well researched and succinctly presented.

A PhD candidate at Harvard University, his interest covers online advertising, click fraud, spywares. Stuffs of much interest to many of us.

Take for example the latest piece, authored with SiteAdvisor, tells us how unsafe all those search engine ads are. Think twice, triple before clicking on a google ads. Then again, it spells bad news for AdSense publishers.

AdAdvantage K2 scheme updated

adAdvantageThe AdAdvantage K2 scheme has been updated to sync with files from K2 beta revision 360.

A major change in this release is the addition of blocks.
All my google ad codes and replace them with empty block file. These files are collected in the blocks folder instead of scattering about the k2 main folder.

To add your own ad blocks or other content, simply edit the corresponding block file. And it will appear where you want it.

To change position of the blocks, edit header.php, footer.php or sidebar.php.

Enjoy!
