Banned from eBay = My First Major Internet Marketing Loss…

November 17th, 2009 admin 1 comment

For the last couple months, I have been working like crazy on a new internet marketing plan.  I am as focused on this as much as anything else I have done before, which is inhumanly focused.  I joined up with the eBay partner network (EPN) and I started building these websites with eBay auctions attached to them.  If people clicked through to these auctions, I made some $.  It’s a simple formula.

After about a month, I started seeing results … Very promising results. After a 4-6 week maturing period, I was getting 1 to 5 dollars a day PER SITE.   Things were looking extremely promising…

Then something rather interesting happened…  eBay suspended my account for review, which is a common thing for eBay affiliates when they start making good money.   I had 42 sites up when they suspended me, but since its commonplace for people to get suspended for no reason I kept putting up sites… I put it into overdrive and set up 101 sites.  Four days ago these bastards sent me a letter saying they expired (closed it and ban you for life from EPN) my account… then 2 days later they sent me an email like my account wasn’t expired… then today they sent me a final letter of expiration.  They gave no explanation, no opportunity to make changes and no chance for reinstatement.   Everything I am doing is within the eBay rules & lots of other people do it w/ no problems.

I am officially at square one again & I am brainstorming for plan B… Stay tuned, or don’t.

Clash Of The Titans Teaser Trailer… MUSIC WILL BE BAD

November 10th, 2009 admin No comments
I’m not sure why this preview isn’t appealing to my epic movie nerd sensibilities.   I’m assuming it’s because of the absolutely horrible music.   I wouldn’t be against rock music in a trailer for this sort of flick.  But this track they picked has no balls.  Also, what the hell were they thinking about when they chose “TITANS…WILL…CLASH!!!!” as their tag line for this trailer…?  Someone who gets paid a lot of money thought that up…  This reminds me, I need to write about my “assumption of ability” theory.

Additional Movie Nerd Over Analysis:  I know this is just the initial teaser trailer, but it bothers me that they show a few of the same sequences.  I also hope they are just holding back their money shots for the next trailer…  Digging the mysterious creatures with the head wraps.

I just threw away about 2 pounds of Kit Kats and Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, just so I wouldnt eat them all.   Meanwhile, the children of the world continue to starve…

Avatar Still Looks Extremely Underwhelming & Hitler Is Right.

November 1st, 2009 admin No comments

James Cameron & the production team of Avatar have been hyping this “film” like no other before.   If you love movies, you already understand that it is a simple thing to make an exciting preview that makes a bad movie look great.  This preview just looks expensive.

Note A: The plot exposition during a video confessional or whatever the hell that is, is rather absurd when you think about it… Shame on James Cameron for that one.

Note B:  I will say that good 3D can add a lot to a movie and make it much more enjoyable (ie: Beowulf)

Avatar: Dances With Thundercats

I think Hitler summed it all up perfectly…

PS There is only one true Avatar…
