Hi all. I am not sure if John gave out the prize of the link contest previously. However, i have revamp the contest to make it more exciting with more winners.

SiteFever Link contest will be a monthly contest. Similarly, prize pool depends on the amount of sites who link back to SiteFever. This time each winner will get $20 but we will be having more winners now.

The more sites linking to SiteFever, the larger the prize pool, the more winners we have and it is recurring every month! As long as you continue to link to us, you are always in the monthly contest.

The next contest draw date will be on 31st Oct 2007.

Check out the Monthly Contest for more info.

BidVertiser

I’ve just received an email from BidVertiser promoting their advertising campaign for eBay sellers. They are offering $20 in free funds with no obligation, to use it on this campaign. It is suppose to expose your eBay auction items by placing an ad on BidVertiser network of relevant publisher websites to drive buyers and increase sales.

Your BidVertiser eBay ad will include a description and an image (if available) of your item, pricing and time left till auction closes. The ad will link to your eBay Listing and you only pay when a potential buyer clicks-through to your eBay Listing. (Preview Ad)

eBay Listing

If you are one of the frequent eBay sellers, you probably already know that this month eBay is having Free Listings Promo …. which means no listing fees the whole of this month. If you do not know about this, it is still not too late to create your free auction listing at eBay. With BidVertiser’s free $20 and eBay free listing… you are going to increase sales with no money spent.

Part-Time Webmaster

Everyone wants to earn lots of money. Most people want to work at home for yourself and free from boss. You need to start from somewhere step by step. Hmmm… how about start off by being a part-time webmaster developing a hobby website of your interest. Never ever think of milking the money from the site first. Think of HOW you can provide for your visitors. At this point of time, you must be thinking i will be providing some sort of guide to start newbie off being a webmaster. No

Anyone of you ever experience the Not-Enough-Time syndrome especially for part-time webmaster with full-time job? I DID. 2 years back when i was managing just a few of my personal hobby sites (2 game sites, 1 forum and a few mini sites) and also working as a full-time programmer. I totally suffering from the Not-Enough-Time syndrome. Everyday after work, i will always dozed off in front of my computer after finished doing site administration, check all new posts of my forum, clearing of mailbox. There is no time for site development, no time for site marketing and i only sleep 3-4 hours daily.

Polyphasic Sleep

There was one day, I couldn’t take it. I googled… “sleep 3 hours daily” to see if there is anyone doing the same thing I stumble upon the term … Polyphasic Sleep. I was amazed that there is a technique to “increase” your time! Some people even call it “Hacking Sleep“.

Polyphasic Sleep is a term used to describe sleep patterns intended to reduce sleeping time to 2–6 hours daily in order to achieve a better quality of sleep, hence, you will have more non-sleeping time to do more stuff. Even an additional 2 hours daily can do alot more stuff than you know. Attributed polyphasic sleepers of famous people.

Well, till now i have not yet try out Polyphasic Sleep even though this idea still lingers in my mind since 2 years ago. Imagine the extra hours gained daily to do more site developments and marketing, doing more link exchange, visit more webmaster forums and more time to read fellow webmasters’ blog. This is so tempting.

Answer To Lost Posts And Comments

Hi all. I guess most are wondering what has happened to SiteFever for the past few days.
This is Neon, SiteFever’s latest owner. First, let me apologize for the lost posts and comments
since 21st Sept. I am unable to get the latest sql dump and with the slow dns propagation in my area, i only got to access this site few hours ago to start doing some site administration.

Hot SiteFever

Within this short period of time, SiteFever is being sold twice at BIN!! On the 21st Sept, then 24th Sept. Hmmm…. there are 2 possibilities… either SiteFever is not worth the price that the 1st buyer wanted to recoop his investment as soon as possible OR SiteFever is just too HOT! I can personally tell you, SiteFever is definitely more than feverishly HOT! Anyone doubted the hotness? The 1st buyer just don’t have the time to update this wonderful blog. This site will not be what it is today without John’s feverish posts. Alright… enough of my ‘fever’ thoughts. Anyone want an anti-fever pill? If anyone appreciate John’s efforts in the past, feel free to paypal him (his paypal link in the previous post).

Short Intro Of New Owner

Let me briefly introduce myself. I am Neon… okay… you know already. I started out my career as a low cheapskate php developer, then coldfusion developer (this is really a cold language, i don’t like), then .NET Programmer, then lowly paid IT consultant, and eventually trying out to be a full time webmaster to fulfill my dream that is skeptical in many people’s eyes around me. I will probably write more in the About Me section how i got into this webmastery road.

I have always wanted to blog about my webmastery thoughts, some are weird, some are non-innovative but who knows… it might inspire another person’s weird thought….hahaha I didn’t really start blogging in the past because there is not enough motivation force for me to make the first post…… until when i saw SiteFever. As impressive as the 1st buyer, i quickly BIN when the 1st buyer is letting go. I am thinking to myself “This could be the time that i should start penning down my weird thoughts.”

Okay… done with my short intro. Preparing for my 2nd post… check it out later.

Well in just 54 minutes, SiteFever.com has been sold for a quick sale price of $1,250. Why so cheap?

With all the chaos and confusion that goes in to moving out of an apartment, putting all of your stuff into a storage unit in another state and jumping on a plane from Miami, FL to Lima, Peru, I simply do not have the time to haggle prices back and forth while not making any valuable posts to this blog. I needed to sell it quickly to concentrate my efforts on my trip.

I was not planning on selling the site until just a few days ago. I just made the decision to go to South America a little over a week ago, and being honest with myself, it is just impractical for me to keep up this blog as it is from where I’ll be. It would be better off in the hands of someone who can really put all their efforts on the site.

The new owner of SiteFever.com has asked to remain anonymous for the time being, but I’m sure they will be formally announcing themselves to you in the very near future.

This has certainly been a great ride for me, and I hope that it’s been great for you as well. You haven’t seen the last of John Robinson- I’ll be back for sure. For any last minute donations for the Blog Traffic Made Easy PDF or for any help you have received from this blog (or me) so far, they would all be greatly appreciated through PayPal. I will be using any donations I receive to help support myself once I get to South America.

I will ask the new owner if they will allow me to make occasional guest posts on SiteFever, and I will be sure to forward any new pictures I take while I’m there! Thanks again everyone, and I wish you all the best in your online endeavors.

Sincerely,

John W Robinson IV

Today marks the conclusion of the 11th week since SiteFever.com went online. In those 11 weeks, we have seen 108 posts and 929 comments. 18,224 unique visitors have stopped by SiteFever.com for a total of 29,467 visits. However, we’re going to have to bid farewell.

It’s off to the Andes Mountains and the Amazon River for me. After much thought, I’ll be moving there in about two weeks and believe it or not, the Internet is not readily available in the middle of the rainforest. As for the current 1TB contest, I will pick a winner and send the hard drive next week before I leave.

It’s been an exciting journey up until now, but hopefully another great blogger will take the reins from here. To help fund my trip, SiteFever.com is priced for a quick sale at $1,250 US. Included would be the domains SiteFever.com, SiteFever.info, SiteFever.net and SiteFever.us, and the entire contents of this blog. Here’s an overview of some statistics other than the ones already mentioned:

Total 11 week income: $1,136.78
Technorati authority: 204
Technorati rank: 22,556
Alexa rank: 73,129
Google Pagerank: 2, predicted 5 (4.8)
Yahoo backlinks: 4,512
RSS subscribers: 318
MyBlogLog community members: 135
My 22 page PDF “Blog Traffic Made Easy” has been downloaded at least 1,196 times since its release on August 21.
SiteFever.com has been featured on two separate posts on JohnChow.com: Post 1 Post 2

If you’re interested in purchasing SiteFever.com for the asking price of $1,250 or if you would like to make an offer, you can contact me at jrobinson@sitefever.com.

Thank you all for your support of this blog, and I hope that I brought some valuable information that many of you can apply with your online ventures. I’ll be checking up on SiteFever.com from time to time from cyber cafes in South America to see how its new owner is doing. Who knows… maybe I can appear as a guest blogger every once in a while!

Congratulations to Robert MacEwan from MacEwan.org! He won the only sitewide 468×60 banner on this site for only $100/month! Everyone should be looking for his banner to start appearing soon. Thanks to all who participated.

Sorry for the lowered posting frequency over the past two days. My great grandfather was in from out of town and I haven’t seen him for several years, so we were spending some time together. I’ll start pumping out some more great articles this afternoon.
