Yes - it does look a bit like me...

You know – up to now I don’t know. But to give  anyone reading this some background – as I’ve said elsewhere I am a web designer. I’m also a web designer that believes in practising what I preach, so my wife and I also run an ever expanding portfolio of  sites and blogs which make revenue mostly through paid for advertising and Google adsense. As well as blogs under our own names. We’re big fish in a little pond if you like.

So why this blog? I got a bit pissed lately after a former ‘friend’ picked our brains and then headed off to imitate our work – and in one particularly galling instance approaching a client, try to sell to them – whilst also duplicating content from one of our sites. He now has three blogs – in one of which he portrays himself as an Internet/blogging guru – quite absurd given that he started last Xmas and is doing the usual ‘I want to be a professional blogger’ thing of copying the ‘10 ways to blog’ post and the like, rewording it and claiming to be authoritative… Also claiming that this blog actually is now his main living – do the sums – it must be bullshit – or at best a gross exageration of the truth.

Okay, so I couldn’t give a damn about him personally – but I do care about his site and sites like it that…

1. Tell lies, most people who make these claims are probably only making a few bucks on the side – if that
2. Decieve, where these people try and sell you stuff of little value, like stupid reports on how to get rich overnight
3. Infest the Internet, I can’t stand just how many of these ‘get rich bloggin’ blogs there are with all the same crap on them
4. Create spam, and never let go of any email address they acquire
5. Scam unwitting newbies into parting with cash for ridiculous schemes anyone with a bit of Internet savvy know won’t work

Getting the picture of where I stand?

I also don’t like stupid personal blogs – but do get highly amused by just how bad some are…

I have no idea where this site is going at the moment – I guess I’m going to let it establish it’s own direction – but so far the plan is to throw in some irreverent blog reviews of terrible blogs,  give a few hints and tips on things that I KNOW works – and take a few guesses at others, perhaps the odd personal take on life and maybe expose the odd scam.

I’ll also be riddling the site with affiliate links – to things I like – and things – I don’t. And, I’m very interested to see if people do sometimes click through and buy the scams and trash I write about….. This blog, is a bit of an experiment – and will take shape, and find its’s own direction over time….
