My Money Blog Continental OnePass Plus Card: Free 25,000 Miles, Free Checked Bag, Primary R... by Jonathan 2 Sep 2010 at 4:42am Now that I’m flying a lot more again, I’m back in the hunt for some frequent flier perks. I just came across the new Continental Airlines OnePass Plus Card from Chase, which has a pretty nice mix of perks for travelers. Sign-Up Bonus: Free Flight 25,000 Bonus Miles after first purchase (no minimum amount) for [...] Updated 529 College Savings Asset Allocation: Added Stocks, 10-Year 5% APY CD by Jonathan 1 Sep 2010 at 4:48am Since we’re on the topic of college tuitions, I have recently adjusted the investment mix in my Ohio CollegeAdvantage 529 Plan. As I’ve mentioned before, I choose a very conservative mix because I think a 20-year or less horizon with a 4-year or less withdrawal period is actually a pretty short horizon. I just want [...] Charts: College Tuition vs. Housing Bubble vs. Medical Costs by Jonathan 31 Aug 2010 at 2:45am This chart from Clusterstock (via Carpe Diem) shows the cost of college tuition comparison to historical housing prices and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) over the same period. The CPI is designed to track our cost of living by estimating the average price of consumer goods and services purchased by households. Everything was normalized to [...] How To Sue a Telemarketer (Book Summary) by Jonathan 30 Aug 2010 at 2:05am I’ve been getting an increasing number of telemarketing calls recently, so I readily agreed to a review copy of How To Sue a Telemarketer by Stephen Ostrow, lawyer and judge. I had a vague recollection that you can get $500 every time a telemarketer violates the Do No Call list, and was hoping there would [...] Updated myFICO Coupon Codes & Twitter Tip by Jonathan 28 Aug 2010 at 1:53am The last time I actually paid for my credit score was before I bought my house, and that was basically a fit of paranoia to make sure it was crazy-awesome before the lender pulled it. There are plenty of “FAKE-O” credit scores out there, but the only place to get your real FICO score is [...] Google Offers Free PC-to-Phone Calls To US & Canada by Jonathan 27 Aug 2010 at 6:27am There was a lot of media coverage yesterday when Google announced that they would offer PC-to-Phone calls to US and Canada numbers for free from their Gmail interface. To try it out if you haven’t already, just log into your Gmail email account. But wait… Google Voice (GV) has offered free US long-distance for a [...] Getting Organized In The Google Era (Book Summary) by Jonathan 26 Aug 2010 at 2:57am I ran across Getting Organized in the Google Era in an airport bookstore last month, and while I wasn’t enamored enough to pay the $23 retail hardcover price, I did add it to my library want list. The author Douglas Merrill was formerly the Chief Information Officer at Google, so I figured he might know [...] $4 Movie Ticket at Fandango via Groupon by Jonathan 25 Aug 2010 at 7:29pm Groupon is currently offering any ticket on Fandango.com for $4 (up to $12 value including all fees and charges). If the value is over $12 (NYCers?) then you just pay any additional difference. If you don’t have a Groupon account already, please use my sign-up link. Then visit the deal link. Only about 4 days [...] New Marketing Trick: Short-term FDIC-Insured Bank CDs With Really High Rates by Jonathan 24 Aug 2010 at 4:23am If you still read newspapers like me, you may have come across an advertisement like this one recently touting an abnormally high 3-month or 6-month CD rate in last Sunday’s issue: According to Bankrate, the current national average for a 6-month certificate of deposit is 0.37% APY, with their top yield being 1.25% APY. Highly-advertised [...] Consumer Reports Car Reliability Charts by Jonathan 23 Aug 2010 at 2:23am The auto review issue of Consumer Reports is always very popular, due in part to the fact that they can be more impartial by actually buying all the cars they test anonymously and not accepting any outside advertising. (This is not the case with any other car magazine.) Here’s a few charts and graphs from [...] Awesome Space-Saving and Multi-Tasking Furniture by Jonathan 19 Aug 2010 at 1:36am Thinking about simplifying your life and living in less space? Perhaps you already live in a small space. If you haven’t heard of Resource Furniture, you should definitely check out this video of space-saving and transforming furniture from their store in New York City, land of the 250 sf studio. These are way beyond your [...] LendingClub P2P Loan Investment Returns Update 2010 Q3 by Jonathan 17 Aug 2010 at 10:35pm LendingClub.com is a website that securitizes person-to-person loans so that you can lend money to other people in as little as $25 increments, and you collect the interest after some fees. The idea is to replace banks and credit cards as the major middlemen used for lending. “Investors earn better returns, borrowers pay lower rates.” [...] Morningstar Admits Fund Expenses More Important Than Star Ratings by Jonathan 17 Aug 2010 at 3:58am A funny thing happened when Morningstar performed a study on whether expense ratios or Morningstar “star” ratings are better at predicting higher future mutual fund returns. Expense ratios won. Russel Kinnel, Morningstar’s director of mutual fund research and study author, wrote about the study results on Morningstar and these quotes sum it up: If there’s [...] Portfolio Manager Rick Ferri Shares Personal Portfolio and Asset Allocation by Jonathan 16 Aug 2010 at 2:41am In a recent post on the NY Times Bucks blog, portfolio manager and author Richard Ferri shared his own personal portfolio. As a proponent of low-cost, passive investing, it was not surprising to see mostly index funds in his portfolio, but it was interesting to see that his overall asset allocation is 80% stocks and [...] Price Relativity and Behavioral Economics [Poll Results] by Jonathan 13 Aug 2010 at 2:07am After two days of polling for my Frugality and Decision Making question, here are the results of my casual survey.

The Dreaded Google Slap (And How To Avoid It) by Linda Buquet 2 Sep 2010 at 2:22pm The Dreaded Google Slap. No affiliate ever wants to hear that oh-so infamous term. Unfortunately, if you don?t protect yourself against it, you won?t have a choice. Google?s increasingly stringent policies are forcing affiliates to change the way they do things right across the board. Is there a silver lining in these slap-happy times? Of course Jounce ? Hot! Search and Compare 12 Million Affiliate Offers by Linda Buquet 31 Aug 2010 at 12:43pm This is a VERY cool way to search and compare numerous offers across the major networks and you can even pull your affiliate link from within the platform. Jounce is a BIG time saver and should increase productivity and revenue for affiliates several ways. Avoiding Affiliate Fraud- Risks and Precautions by AnnSmarty 26 Aug 2010 at 1:20pm Affiliate marketing has so many facet and techniques, that often times it’s easy to find yourself involved with a scam or being taken advantage of. Everyone can be at risk, including the consumer, merchant and affiliates. So how can we truly prevent wide-spread fraud that tricky people think they can get away with? Easy. First off, [...] The Next Generation In Affiliate Marketing by RevWire 24 Aug 2010 at 12:04pm Affiliate marketing is in significant transition, and the gap between the two phases is where the crux of the matter lays. Collective revenues are growing, but the industry itself is plagued by a lack of broader, intellectual leadership. There is limited energy being invested in new theoretical visions that will provide long term direction. Part of the problem comes from the inherently myopic, "fast money" mentality espoused by many affiliate programs, but it certainly isn't the only cause. One Missing Ingredient That Can Liberate You As An Affiliate? by Joseph Ratliff 17 Aug 2010 at 1:47pm This is not meant to discourage you from starting or continuing to build your own affiliate empire.

I wonder which company the FTC has set their sites on? I'm assume it's one that has a pretty big affiliate program. Things like this just give the entire industry a bad name. Does your Income Suffer Due to Affiliate Hyperactive Disorder? by Linda Buquet 11 Aug 2010 at 11:08am When AffHD kicks in, your creativity center in the brain turns off. You become a monkey copying and pasting links from one place into the other, and when all is said and done you really haven?t added to much value to the process.

Pretty much all the proceeds from the sale of tvs.co.uk have been re-invested in my businesses. Looking up travel names using the Google keyword tool for inspiration ‘turkey holidays’ stood out as a good name, this seems to be compounded by [...] Bye bye TVs by Scott 16 Jun 2010 at 7:29am It’s been an interesting year so far for me, not overly eventful before last week, but nice growth income wise and some new sites and names purchased along the way. A geography site for $10k is another seasonal site that does poorly during the summer hols but good addition overall with healthy stats. My strategy hasn’t [...] How you can become a Million Dollar Blogger by Al 12 Jun 2010 at 9:14am This is a write up by Martijn Beijk of the presentation I did at a4uExpo last year.
