Step 1. Don't use Google Chrome because then you can't see my blog entry.

I only use Chrome, works fine for me.

Also, according to my analytics, 40% of my readers use Chrome, so unless they're all just constantly refreshing my blog like mindless zombies without seeing anything, the issue is probably on your end.

What issue are you experiencing?

The blog entry flashes and then disappears. Works fine in Firefox. Using 9.0 beta... perhaps this is the issue?

Regardless, the menu on the blog overlaps "Strategies for rapidly acquiring and monetizing lots of traffic." in both Chrome and Safari.

Edit: You're right. It's an extension. Ad Sweep.

I'm not the OP and I can see the text in Chrome on Linux but one issue it does have is if the browser window is small enough that the title wraps the subtitle goes behind the buttons.

BTW, I would have subscribed to your RSS feed (a few times before even) if it was full content.

I am working on a startup that will compete with many well-funded billion dollar startups and we need all the advice we can get.

You're probably not the only one.

Shoot me an email- I have some data for your space that might be tremendously useful.

Thanks Ilya, just sent you an email. We are entering the already crowded market of local deals. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

This is a really interesting blog. I've e-mailed you, and from a dev who has never really made a site popular (other than getting some Chinese restaurant site to the top of google search by pure chance), it's given me some wicked ideas already.

I've e-mailed with a few specific questions, just my parents aren't doing too good right now, and while I can't help them financially, I can possibly use the skills to bring my stepdad more business.

I like the quote from Macchiavelli about entrepreneurship. Gives you a clear heads-up about the level of drivel to follow.

DanielH• 16 years ago

I highly doubt that this quote is really from Macchiavelli, as in his writings entrepreneurship is not touched in any way.

reading your post gave me a serious sense of synchronicity. I have been researching this same opportunity and have come up with a number of assumptions that I intend to validate. I would love to exchange some ideas with you on this topic offline. Send me an email at mwiseone@gmail.com. Thanks!

That's a clever tactics. I'll definitely laugh out loud if I find competitor's weakness and learn what works with their own money. However, competition is dynamic. Wining one battle is not wining a war. Would love to read your other creative tactics.
