Cost Captain

January 4th, 2008

Alright, it’s time to take the Queen CD out of my player and put Linkin Park in… this is a job for Linkin Park. Storyline: I took an opportunity for a company called Cost Captain from the P3 website to blog about CostCaptain in my personal blog here. Cost Captain was offering $9 for the post and only required 50 words, for a link that said www.costcaptain.com pretty easy right? I thought so! In fact it was too easy… CostCaptain sells Microsoft products, Cost Captain specialize in the order of selling Microsoft Office and Microsoft Windows Vista packages at student discount prices. I wrote a 100 word article about such deals because the more my site relates to Microsoft Office and Microsoft Windows Vista products the more they get the value for it to their website which in turn translates to more search engine queries for the terms Microsoft Office, and Microsoft Windows. The problem with my post was that I also included CostCaptain’s description on the P3 website IN ADDITION to the article that I wrote, because it gave them a much better link rating because of the keyworded specificness of Cost Captain description. I thought I was doing Cost Captain a favor, Cost Captain thought otherwise. This is the description:

CostCaptain.com is a Microsoft Authorized Education Reseller. We sell the brand new Office 2007 Suite and Vista to students and staff of schools, libraries and research labs. Home schools qualify too. We have served hundreds of schools, colleges and libraries and thousands of students and staff members.

We offer:

- 100% Authentic Microsoft products at academic discounts

- Microsoft Office 2007 from $129, Vista Upgrade from $89

- Friendly customer service.

- Buyers provide academic eligibility and after that the product is shipped

- Gift certificates that are a great way to give especially during holiday season

Very good keywording if you ask me… but hey, I’m no SEO expert or anything, just because I ranked number two and three on Google for the term “Cost Captain” simply by writing the Cost Captain article on my website… I mean I don’t know what the hell I’m talking about apparently… so therefore I won’t know what I’m talking about all over the net. Cost Captain said that they wouldn’t pay me and denied my post until it was rewritten because I “wrote the article using their description” Obviously the company didn’t want any sort of SEO relevancy so I rewrote the post, I put a 150 or so word description of why I rewrote the article the way I did on top and left what I had described before on the rest… just translated it. You see not only am I a blogger, webmaster of over 9 websites, internet marketing coach, but I also use Opera as my main browser of choice… I just like it. It’s not for everyone, I suggest FireFox for most people (as most of you already do since my stats say that 2/3 of my visitors are FireFox users). I used a widget on my Opera browser to translate the article into Ł337 5ρ34|< (or more commonly known as 1337 5p34k the translator is just hardcore). They didn’t like that either and banned me on P3 which is fine, ban me all you want… my site is more SEO friendly and optimized than your site will ever be, that’s your loss. Of all the bloggers who took your opportunity who ranks for your websites keywords? Oh that’s right, it’s me. I just want my money from the deal… that’s all. So therefore I’m taking my money that Cost Captain won’t pay me. If I can’t get it from the P3 website I will make damn sure I get it from ad revenue on my website.

Child Jewelry Something Different…

December 31st, 2007

Child Jewelry is created to delight little girls with loving gifts that are different, personal and outstanding.

Handmade jewelry for children is ideal for your little angel as mass-produced child jewellery is common and ubiquitous - unsuitable to represent a very special person.

Handcrafted child jewelry truly conveys the significance of your gift - your princess is special and unique.

What is the perfect child’s jewelry gift for your precious?

With what children jewellery will you give your princesses to shower your love and make them happy?

We design jewelry for children based on the following values and principles. Are they what you are looking for?

Child Jewellery That Grows

Special consideration has to be given to size expansibility

Children grow rapidly and child jewelery should grow with them.

Rather daunting. You can’t feed jewelry to make them fatter or longer.

Somehow, we have to think of ways to introduce size adjustability and length extendibility.

The designs should be uncomplicated

Sophistication and intricacies are more sensible in adult jewelry.

Basic geometric and association with everyday objects should be more widely featured in children jewelery.

Favourite Colours

It will be great if the colour theme is uniform and stands out. That will make it easy for you to choose - according to your child’s favourite colour. Delight and acceptance by your dear little one is almost guaranteed.

They should be brightly coloured

Children and adults interpret colours differently. Children’s preferences on colours tend to skew towards the bright and cheery.

Some should be sweet

Isn’t that how she is? Sweet - the special one the jewelry is intended for?

It’s instinctive, isn’t it? To get something sweet for the sweet special one? And sweetly she shall smile, when you put it on for her.

Prices should be kept low

Children appreciate the visual and sensual impact of jewelry but not its price tag.

Jewelry tends to get lost more frequently with children than adults. Using expensive materials is less important with jewelry for children.

Keeping price low is practical and facilitates replacements.

Hard-wearing

Children may engage in more vigorous activities or tend to be less gentle with jewelry.

Although a modest price is preferred, it is desirable for the jewelry to provide exceptional quality relative to its price. Specifically, material used should be as hard-wearing as possible.

Our own values

Handmade child jewelry from Agalil are not mass produced products. We craft these jewelry with our own hands. The young lady who wears them may not fully appreciate but we will always insist on the core values of handcrafted jewelry:
uniqueness

individuality

soul

love

Ads on the blog

December 15th, 2007

Ok, as I said before the advertisements have been moved to the blog as well! Hopefully that will bring in a little more money and allow me to do this full time rather than a somewhat partial part time thing :-P Thanks everybody for understanding the need for this on the site, I hope it hasn’t driven away too many people.

Ads on site

December 14th, 2007

I held off for a long time, but the revenue just isn’t coming in from Archmaille Designs so I had to put ads up. They’ll also be put here on the blog shortly, which I’ll no doubt post about when I get that done as well. I can’t sit around and make absolutely nothing from a site for so long. With all my other sites I’ve never lost money from having websites up, however, this one has not been paying for itself, and it needs to. I get 1,500 unique visits a month here which makes it the most active of my websites, and with 6,000 page views a month it should be doing better than what it is… unfortunately it is not so I must get it to making the kind of money that it should of been making all along.

Random update

December 7th, 2007

Hello my friends, and patrons! This is Cody your host and store owner :-D I’m just dropping in to say hello and happy holidays! I’ve been working fervently this season to get the best products available to my customers! It’s been a hard fight, and one that I fear I’ll have to mostly pick up for next year, but it has also been pretty good. I’ve been working on promoting the website, and it has been a particularly tough battle with ranks in Google! But we’re making our way :-)

Blacksmithing endeavor

November 19th, 2007

I am marking today 11/17/2007 as the day that I finally set out to begin my journey as a blacksmith. I will still keep the jewelry business alive, but will also be running a company beside it mostly for sword sales. Being that I don’t actually have any of the things needed to make swords and knives it will take a little while before I actually use the site, however I am opening a subdomain to officially house my sword, knife, armor, and various other blacksmithing items as a place holder.

Just an update

November 4th, 2007

Hey guys! I’m back online. Most of you probably didn’t even know I went off line this time did you? Yeah, sorry about not updating things on here, thing is I couldn’t really. I’m getting ready to move out and go live with my cousin Jordan who has already moved out… sort of forced to in a way. I’m going to help them out with the bills a bit and get myself out of here. Anyways, the thought of me moving has prompted a few changes. One of which being my mother got a new computer for the family, since the one being used was mine I just allowed for everyone else to use it. Since she did that I moved my computer to my room, and set up the other computer… the Cat5 cable I had didn’t connect for me so I had to order a new Cat6 so I could connect and have been running online since. If you’ve noticed I started adding all of my pages to Wists which is where most of the recent blog entries has come from and that got a bit interrupted. I’ll probably get back to that shortly so that I can get all of my merchandise listed on Wists. Other than that there really isn’t a whole lot else to update, hopefully sales pick up for the Holiday Season and soon I will be adding a swords section… which will be more of it’s own little site for when I get a forge built and start crafting my own swords (which will still be a few years down the road before you could call me proficient).
