Update on AdAdvantage

I did not mention it but AdAdvantage, my K2 3 column scheme (the one that you are looking at right now), had been updated a while back and is sitting on the scheme page.

Thanks to all those kind soul that send me message to ask, yes I’m still updating it. I’m using it on a number of my blogs and my plan is to sync up with the K2 development as much as I can.

During the last sync I noticed that K2 is doing some integration with the sidebar widgets themselves and interfere with the Automattic’s Widgets. K2′s version is also not complete and cannot support 2 sidebars (as of my last sync).

I’m planning an integration as soon as I find some time and when K2′s version become stable. Thanks for all your feedback and comments.

No one interested in free hosting?

It looks like no one is interested in my idea of a free hosting.

Maybe I didn’t promote it enough. Any suggestion?

Free Hosting giveaway promotion

This my giveaway idea for August.

Free hosting for life

Someone suggested in my last free domain giveaway that free hosting would be something he would be excited about. So here I give it to you – Free Hosting for Life! (Yes life! My life that is).

What you have to do

  1. Mention and link to my site (http://59ideas.com) from anywhere it is permissible for you to do so.
    Hint: You can mention this giveaway. Spread the word.
    For example, your blog, a forum you participate in, comment in another blog, … be creative
  2. Do not submit to link directories or link exchanges.
  3. Leave a comment here telling me where you put that link.
    (Remember to leave your email so that I can contact you if you win.)
  4. Wait for the good news!

How Winners are determined

  1. Statistic will be based on Google Analytics’s referral data.
  2. All submitted links will be ordered in decending order for the number of referrals from the link.
  3. Links that provides that top 20% of all referred traffic will be the winner.
    For example,
    Total 100 referrals from all links
    Link A: 10 referrals
    Link B: 6 referrals
    Link C: 5 referrals
    Link D: 3 referrals
    all other links with 1 referral
    A, B, C are winners

Terms & Conditions

Some terms and condition to guard my ass.

  1. The giveaway is given in good faith and mutual trust. If you do not respect that or feel that I will any way cheat you, please do not participate.
  2. Participants should not spam or do anything in bad faith in order to participate.
  3. Hosting is for a reasonable website.
    Since bandwidth and storage requirement varies, I cannot host a site beyond my means.
    As a simple guage, if your site can be comfortably hosted on a few dollars a month shared hosting, I can afford you.
  4. If for whatever reason I cannot host you anymore, I will have a chat with you.
  5. Any ambiguity in interpretations or the lack thereof will be resolved by me and the decision will be final.

An Idea a Month

Since the last domain name giveaway, I had been thinking of what other free giveaways or creative promotion ideas that I can do.

Then I think why not make this a regular event. The pressure will keep me thinking and the regularity let reader know what to expect.

Well I am launching another “exciting” giveaway in a few more days. Watch this space!

Quick sort using Google SpreadSheet

Today, I was doing a post on filtering low paying Adsense ads. There was a list of sites and I wanted to sort them.

One of my notebook RAM burnt-out in the hot summer a few weeks ago and it was left with 256 mb. A few applications was already open on my desktop already so I was very apprehensive of opening up OpenOffice Calc.

Then a quick flash and I thought of Google Spreadsheet. What a quick way to do sorting!
