In case you haven’t heard, today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

In celebration of this momentus occassion, I present the Corsair Ergonomic Keyboard for Pirates:

Finally, you can’t celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day without a good pirate joke:

A pirate walks into a bar wearing a paper towel on his head. He sits down at the bar and orders some dirty rum.

The bartender asks, “Why are you wearing a paper towel?”

“Arrrrrrr I’ve got a bounty on me head!”

If you’ve followed this blog at all for the past coulple of months, you know that I am in love with Market Leverage. (It’s kind of sick, actually.) In this short time, I have found a few offers that generate enough profit that I could realistically quit my day job and be a full-time affiliate. (Not quite ready to do that yet though.) However, one thing that I haven’t really done anything with is Market Leverage’s referral program.

According to Market Leverage they have “The Industry’s Best Paying Lifetime Referral Program.” They will pay 5% of the commissions earned by each Publisher that you refer. That ads up to some scratch if you can get a nice referral base under you.

Here’s the deal…

I’m holding my own mini-Market Leverage contest. I want to see who can earn the most over the next 30 days. Winner gets $100. Easy Peasy.

It’s always fun when you see your site popping up in Google’s search results. I remember the first time I saw WallerBlog come up on the first page of a Google search. It felt like I was legitimate, I had proved myself, I was successful. It’s a bit of an ego trip.

Anyways…I was doing some keyword research today. I went over to Shoemoney’s SERPs tool and found out it was down. No good. It’s a great tool. You type in your site and a keyword and this tool will tell give you the position that Google is currently listing your site for that keyword.

Since Shoe’s tool was down, I went digging for something comparable that I could use for some keyword research. Low and behold, I came across SeoDigger. SeoDigger spits out a list of keywords for which your site ranks high enough to be in Google Top 20.

Here are my results:

Check that out, number 1 for my name (that’s always good) and number 1 for “nerds making money”

I guess that proves it. I am a nerd making money!

I made over $4,500 profit from Market Leverage last month!

Website flipping is an interesting gig. You create some site - blog, affiliate site, forum, directory, etc. - from scratch, then turn around and sell it.

Simple in concept, not necessarily simple in practice.

Jason at The University Kid is well experienced in site flipping. He’s in the process now of doing a live site flip in which at the end of the month he will be walking through building a site from scratch and selling it less than 30 days later for $500+.

Jason is getting ready to start up a group site flipping project in which we all will build our own sites from the ground up and (hopefully) turn them for a profit at the end of next month. It’s possible that these sites could sell for more than $1,000! If you’d like to enter the project with me - Enter Here.

Bonus Prize

If the extra cash weren’t enough, I’m throwing in a 30 day 125×125 banner spot on WallerBlog.com if the winner is from this blog. If you enter through this blog - send me a message so I can keep track of everything.
