Well let me say that I don’t like writing post like this. If you go through some of my post you’ll see that I’m all about the LOVE. But I was thinking that there’s a few reasons that these topics need to be addressed.First I always think of the new person and the fact that they may of made some serious decisions in their life to persue blogging and I’ll say don’t quit your day job yet. So I’m just going to give people a real look at blogging from the reality of blogging. First I know people don’t like to read negative stuff and neither do I. I also know that there’s a large portion of bloggers that are in some kind of coma and so self-centered their not coming to read your blog no matter what. I see that method has worked well for them up until recently. Now I see that they see their numbers and you can only ride a wordpress theme or plugin so far. Anyway let’s talk to the regular JOE the normal person that likes people and has a blog. Well your facing an uphill battle. If your not 100% committed to your blog and your topic you better just hang it up.I have seen quite a few people do that already. The competition is weak but you have to stay strong and ride it through.You better have a way to make money besides blogging for at least 6 months.You may make some money from some of the lame ads you have but that isn’t going to cut it.

Google- your going to have to make this company your best friend sooner or later. I got a response from an ad group today trying to tell me something. Look none of them are any good,I don’t care who they are.There just fly by night middle men. I have to get approved by YOU. Please so you can make money off me. People need to wake up and smell the coffee.Except for Google I’m eliminating 90% of my outside ads because why bother ? If you have some ad company you want to speak up for leave a comment cause right now there all on my shit list.People are scared of Google and let me tell what Google really wants,they want to make you RICH. How do you think they have such drastic growth.Just in 1999 they were NOBODY.I have been spending time with adwords and that is where the money is at. Not giving away some IPOD to sucker you into yet another scam ad group.

STICK WITH THE WINNERS many people are heading straight for FAILURE make your move now so you don’t join them ;)

Friends and fellow bloggers-well you thought that ad groups were disappointing. Well out of the thousand bloggers I met I can think of 10 that are good people and not self-centered jerks.That’s a sad fact that I wish wasn’t the case but it is so do like I do and deal with it. Use that as a chance to cherish the ones in your circle and let the other ones go their way. I wrote about the one way blogger a few times and to me it’s not an issue but I want people to know IT’S not you. I go by well known blogs and bloggers are for the most part TAKERS. If you got something they will come .People that come by your blog often you need to look out for those people. That is why I decided to use my ad space in the side bar for people that actually read this blog. The ones that “check in” will have their ad there and the ones that don’t won’t. It’s really that simple. It sucks that you have to be blunt like that but I want to make a point. I was thinking about MOST of the people on twitter,snobs jerks , and if we would get along in the real world and I have to say probably not. Who wants to listen to all that all day. I see those people are like in a cocoon of their own reality. They are MAXED out and and stuck. I see my stats and I’m passing all those goofs left and right. So this isn’t just some bitter rant far from it. I want you to have a clear understanding of what your up against. The top blogs in certain niches know I’m coming do you think they like it? Hell no they don’t . I like to go up there and let them know what time it IS:)

Firefox I’m almost getting ready to say they screwed it all up.These last few updates they have really crippled something in it because it’s not reliable and it gets frustrating. I like Firefox and hopefully they get it together. I mean it’s free so really can you bitch. But now it likes just goes POOF.It’s almost funny but it is happening alot. Flock is cool but I just like Firefox for some reason.

My love/ hate for Stumble- I used to know how to work stumble and their hip to alot of stuff now and good for them. But I will tell you that stumble is very easy to see what the people that ask you to do stuff for them do for you so I’ll just leave it at that. I don’t want to stop giving people the love but I don’t like to be played like a sucker either. So if you want some love at least be willing to give it back;)

Social media and social networking-well I’m always on the look out for the next hot beta and the technology is amazing. It’s also amazing what some of these companies are worth. I’m taking notes and see that many of them get bought by BIG companies not bad for making some funky widgets;) Especially when they give you the API’s and the developer tools.
I wish there was a site that I could tell you hey join this one and your traffic and friend problems are over but I can’t. But I will say that the one I recently mentioned The Verve is awesome you can meet the people you want and send them msg and do alot check it out it is very cool. A simple idea with some killer features.

Do follow,commenting and traffic-These are all cool if that’s your thing.But I was just thinking that everyone is counting on YOU. From the big companies to the blogger signing up on Blogspot right now they’re all hoping you click on their ads. Don’t lie because ultimately that is the name of the game. If these companies don’t get that ad money they will just die and fade away. You can see it happening at one of the biggest Blogger sites right now and I just checked their stats for the last two months. I don’t know what people are thinking. So the whole point is basically blogging isn’t always as easy as it looks. You will have to work for what you get .No one is going to give you anything except me maybe. I don’t care about money. I just wanted people to know that it’s NOT YOU. I also wanted to let people know that you should look out for the people that come to your blog and not take them for granted.

My next few moves is to concentrate on some seo post and share some page rank, I smell an update coming in a few weeks. I seen a few blogs loose their page rank. I’m not sure why. I will be doing a design change right as I hit 100,000 on Alexa. I wanted to mention the 10 best people I know online but they already know who they are. You have to always look at what changes need to be made and sometimes that includes people.
I’m still offering any blogger that sends me their 125 ad will get it posted and I want to tell you a real secret about blogging. If you think your going to make it you better find some good people to be in your corner I’m lucky in that I have the best of the best. I’m always on the look out for motivated successful people.
Here’s some new funky betas you might like to check out.
Oh that’s is one thing I wanted to mention. Because I constantly search and sign up for new betas I don’t have the time or desire to invest time into them.That is a big point and I know I pay for it. Go to a site like THOUGHTS.com and join them become a member of the community,that will produce alot of new friends and visitors.

Sites I love
Verve Beta totally cool
mixx.com

Facebook it’s ok I guess good for looking up people from the past;)
stumble
twitter sucks

Rejaw.com
friendfeed new and improved :)
Lifestream.fm is awesome
LastFM is ok for the tunes while blogging
searchles for the backlinks
YOUR blog please leave your URL in the comment section so I can visit and it can get do followed
now this is a cool site brand spanking new
this is kinda cool
Anyway like I said I just wanted to mention some realities of blogging they don’t affect me as much as they used to but I see they still exist.
Well this blog and this blogger is here to conquer all that nonsense.
Bloganese is alive and well. I wanted to thank the people that submitted their profiles. I’m making some code changes as I go. But the people are getting two do follow backlinks right in the post section
one blog added to the blogroll. And I’m going to revise a badge I have to let them put on their blog if they want.
That blog is going to have the sweet Google juice. I did some great tricks on that blog so I know it’s destined for some serious Page rank
I also have been modifying my own strategy for the next update and I’m going to write my next post on just how to force page rank.
I will be writing on what I learned about adwords and adsense.Preparing for the next update and how to get ahead without counting on anybody.
I also will be busting out with some cool tricks that are right there and you may not of thought of;)
I don’t mean to be down on some of the aspects of blogging but I want you to know what your up against. I actually benefit from all the stuff people don’t do.
It makes me bring it at a better level. It makes me more open. I don’t need to make it as a blogger I already got it going on:) The show- THE BLOG REPORT starts Friday night come help me PROMOTE YOU and have some fun Thanks. If you think that there’s a night that you’d like to do let me know Thanks

Thanks for Stopping BY

To all my dead homies

Well I have now experienced something that my father never did. Yesterday was my son Daniel’s first day back to school he is 11. I was so proud of him. He is the son I always wanted. A sweet smart soul and a momma’s boy. This morning he is up very early and very excited. Thank God because the school that he goes to has a bad reputation. This morning I looked at him and realized that my father never got to see his son at this age. He was murdered in NYC when I was 10 and he was out of our life a few years prior. I began to think of just how lucky I’m and that I really should be the last to complain about anything. Today I decided not to write a whole post about money and ad companies that rip off bloggers. I will mention some of the blatant ones that I still see new bloggers mainly using.
I also was advised to read a blog that had a post about a blogger getting sued for 20 million. Well when you can get sued for the truth I’ll worry about it.
Anyway I was thinking of a great friend I grew up with named Greg W. Think of Tom Petty with buck teeth. He was also a mommas boy and me and his mother remain great friends. I lived a wild life when I was younger and the worse thing Greg ever did was smoke. We hung out all the time he balanced my crazy attitude and we spent alot of awesome moments together.
I thought of him today and he never had children. I hope that wherever he is he’s ok. I used to have to look out for him because there were alot of bullies where we grew up.He died many yrs ago from cancer.One minute he finally had a great girlfriend two weeks later he was dead. He was proud to have served honorably in the United States Navy aboard the USS Saratoga.
I have lost many people in my past.My cousin Sean was like my brother he died in a nursing home at 27 from a car wreck after being bed ridden 7 yrs. Most of the people that I was close with are either dead or dead to me.
Well they think they’re to good for John Sullivan and you know what fuck them.I got people that do care about me to concentrate on.
So to honor my brothers that are no longer with us.I’m giving away all my side bar ads for FREE and this is how it will work.You send me a 125 ad with your blog linked to it and BAMM it’s going on the side bar.I don’t care who you are if your a blogger your in. I will cycle the ads and I’m going to tell you what is going to keep your ad there, if you check in and make yourself known then I’m going to hesitate to move yours.Just make a comment in here and say dude I’m sending you an ad.You can send it thru that contact button up top. Now you must be saying DAMN that dude is desperate and maybe your right. But this is the way I’m going to work it as of today.I’m going to have 12 -125 ads and the only ones that I’m going to have are my two ads that I know pay.The 1on1 I have made alot of money from and I will probably keep websitemagazine cause it’s a great mag and it’s FREE and Pete the owner is good people. All those other leech ads and the sucker ass SNOBS that run those companies can kiss my ass. I will never use adtroll,any noise program ADS ,anything other then Google.
If you pay attention when you leave the email address for your comment and say dude email me those books your studying I’ll send you the first one and it’s all about Google Adwords and making alot of money.
Then I’m going to pick someone who comments and give away 3 of the best themes in the world that I have on the stash that I don’t need to use and they cost 100.00 each and I will send you a pack of three. You will have the best themes with the most features out there. Don’t believe me send 25.00 to my paypal right now for the book and 50 for the themes and if you don’t think it is worth it I will be send you back your money CASH immediately.

Finally I have been spending time backtracking, go through all the references of your social networking names for me it’s (jsinkeywest) GOOGLE YOURS FEWL;) I can go back a long way and pick up stuff I left lying around.
I’m going to be building a huge portal on myspace this week. Giving away free stuff. I’m just kicking back and going to press forward. I have my son that I have to worry about and a beautiful daughter Shannon.
So time is a wasting let’s get real and see how we can help each other. Thanks for stopping by and give these young dudes a listen I enjoyed the lyrics. Peace
PS if I run out of space on here and everyone is being cool bear in mind I have a few more kick ass blogs HOMIE;) Thanks

Reach out to the WORLD

Monday, August 25th, 2008

Each day the world gets smaller. One of the many things that I love about blogging is that it is truly a universal language. Well I wanted to get back on track to show to you things that are cutting edge and I have to say that I love this site. Many people may remember the Band Verve but there history and what your about to see is just the beginning of what is to come. It’s super easy to sign up and get your blog listed. I was thinking this is a great way to reach out to people from all over the world. It also let’s you see if there is anyone in your region. So you can use it for many things besides just listing your location. I’ll let you check it all out Thanks-

The main thing I like about it. You may have a million friends online but you don’t know them this let’s you get more personal and you can network with people in your area. Check places you used to live, reach out to people on the other side of the world. This is perfect tool for my bloganese project. I hope you enjoy it. See sometimes the coolest stuff comes from the simplest ideas.

HERE’s me on this planet:) Look me up when you get on you can click the pic;)

Also BLOGANESE -the universal blogger language profile blog is now taking profiles and I apologize for the delay.
There are profiles up and I will be adding the ones that I have on hand.Thanks check it out if your interested.

My next post will be about ad agencies that screw you and I will be naming names;) I have the facts to back it up. Check your stats alot of the ad groups play dumb while they get rich and you get played well I’ll be telling you about some well known companies that is there whole game. I’m getting ready to run my own ads fuck the leeches.

In fact I’ll be redoing my whole side bar and theme if you want to swap 125’s for a month let me know.

Thanks to all my friends that support me and POTPOLITICS-

I wanted to give a shout out to a blogging buddy she was so excited to hit the front page on Propeller and I was so happy for her.You can check it out and keep it up there if you’d like thanks
