Saturday Speedlinkin VII
Continuing in my long tradition of posting my Saturday Speedlinkin links on Sunday, here is the edition number VII!
This past week has been a mixed bag on the blogging front… On one hand, my first week back to blogging “FT” has gone well in respect to getting blogging posts up, but on the other hand I fell a bit short with video game posts I had planned. (#):(
But hey - That just means I know what I gotta do this week!
One of My New Projects
So before we get to the real heart of this post, I hope you’ll indulge me in some shameless self-promotion… I’ve recently teamed up with one of my friends to create a new site we’re calling Noob Alert that delivers video game news to the masses.
And Without Further Ado…
Top 25 Ultimate Gamer Vacations by Jessica Hupp - A really cool list of travel destinations for all us gamer geeks including destinations, tournaments and all kinds of crazy conventions. Big thanks to Amy Quinn for give me heads up about this!
Multiple Ways to Increase Your AdSense Earnings (Part 1) by Aaron Cook - It has been a long time since I’ve seen such a comprehensive AdSense post so if you’re new to the industry, or just want to ramp up your game, it’s a good read for sure.
BBM Brings You “Pimp My Crutches” by Black Belt Mama - If you hadn’t heard, my girl BBM is having a rough go of things lately. For the last long while, she has been training for her Black Belt test but very recently suffered a heart breaking setback when she tore her ACL. Now she’s trying to get back on the good foot so if you would be so kind, drop by her site and give her a big ol’ hug!
My First Pumpkin by Forest Parks - All I can say is, I can’t believe this is the first pumpkin that Forest has ever carved.
Has Money Killed Blog Design by Blogsolid - This is a blog that I stop by every once and a while, and it just about always gives me something to think about. This time Blogsolid asks whether the ever popular right ad space (and premium ad placement in general) is killing blog design.

You’re a sweetheart. Thanks for the link love. You have to admit my crutches totally rock, huh?

@BBM - Absolutely they do! BTW, I was going through your site yesterday just showing the wife pictures of you and your kids looking at what we have to look forward to. She loved’em!

Congrats on the new site , the header is cool . Reminded me of my childhood . Do include some more PC games news there too.

@Mark - Hey thanks! It’s a different kind of site than what I’m used to doing so it should be fun. *nod*
@Forest - You’re welcome, and thanks for pickin’ up the feed!
@Aaron - That’s mighty kind of you Aaron. I owe ya one!
@Rhys - Ha ha. Thanks, wish I could take credit for that, but that was all the other guy on the site. The design of it is something that we’re definitely still tweaking, but at least its functional right now.
@Madhur - PC Games? What’s that? j/k It’s funny you say that because even though both of us Noob Alert guys built new computers just for gaming, I don’t think we’re really using them for that these days. Ha ha. He can’t pull himself away from Halo, and I can’t pull myself away from GH3!

I’ll definetly check out your new site Bush! Good luck, and have lots of fun with it. After 3 weeks of stress I am cured. I now have my new projects passed the what if stage.
My new cash blog will have my 6 year old cousin answering all the comments. To get a real answer from me…it’s $100.00 retainer fee, and then I will decide if your question is worth answering…LOL!!!!!! It’s actually because I don’t have any answers:)

@Bobby - Ha ha. That’s awesome. Maybe I should get a 6 yr old to run one of my sites. Could prove lucrative. (#);D
