Online Farkle

One of my designers gave me the Java for an online Farkle Game. It looked pretty cool, better than most of the free stuff available.
I tried to find where it came from, since it didn’t have any start page, or information about where it was developed, if it was public domain, or what.
I finally found [...]

Wikipedia - Farkle

Wikipedia has an entry on Farkle.
Would it be possible to get my own site listed there?
I would say so, as long so you do it right. In my case I developed some unique information that nobody else had. I had information on Farkle and Drinking, Farkle and large groups, and Farke History.
I noticed one incorrect [...]

Squidoo for Traffic

As part of my 30 Day Challenge, I built my SEO optimized FarkleRules.com website, and started some social bookmarking, and building up backlinks.
As part of their program, they recommend building a Squidoo lens for more traffic.
It was to be my first.
Let me say this - it’s remarkably easy, and there are lots of videos and [...]

Wordpress - Blog not at root = Big Mistake

I made a big mistake. When I created the Farklerules.com website, I didn’t change the default wordpress location. So I ended up in a subdirectory. Now the question was, how to get the traffic from the home page to the blog?
Turns out that is easy enough, with a little php code.
<?php
define(’WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
require(’./blog/wp-blog-header.php’);
?>
But it means that [...]

FarkleRules.com - online

I bought a couple of different domains. FarkleFarkel, FarkelFarkle, and Farklerules.com, to cover some bases. I went with FarkleRules.com because it matches my keywords, and also due to the similarity in type to my BuncoRules.com site. I may have a whole array of these dice game websites someday.
Started with a couple of pages about [...]

Farkle!

So my first micro-niche is the Dice game Farkle, specifically the keywords Farkle Rules.
The idea came to me when looking over the data from an existing website- buncorules.com. Farkle was a keyword suggestion, and when I looked it over, it seemed almost too good. I like it a lot.
So I’m going to go ahead [...]

Can’t Add Image to Post in Wordpress

You might have noticed a shortage of visual awesomeness on the blog, and for good reason: I could not add pictures to the blog automatically.
Using the “Add media” button on the Write Post page would allow me to upload an image, but when I hit the button to insert the image into post, the window [...]

A Great Idea is a Recipe for Failure

Biggest thing I’ve learned from the 30 Day Challenge so far:
A Great Idea is a Recipe for Failure
I’m great at coming up with great ideas for products, but that is the wrong way to approach internet marketing.
To summarize what I’ve learned so far:

Identify the Market
Test for Validity
Build the Product

What this means so far is that [...]

Dallas 30DC Team Meetup

As part of the 30 Day Challenge, we’re encouraged to join a team.  I started out signed up for the Dallas are team on the 30DC team forum, but saw no participation on the thread.  With one day to go I signed up for the 30dcSwatTeam, an active, international team with a nice variety of [...]

The 30 Day Challenge - Goal and Plan

The 30 Day Challenge kicks off tomorrow night at 7:00pm here in Texas. Now I know that’s not August 1st, but there’s a perfectly good explanation.  You see Ed Dale, who’s MCing this thing lives in Australia - and when he kicks it off Friday Morning, it’ll be 7:00pm Thursday, locally.
They highly recommend having a [...]
