Balkhis Sweet Monday Link Roundup 9/8/08
Well, it is time for another balkhis sweet monday link roundup. The past week was good in terms of revenue and traffic to balkhis. I also announced the Pimp My Blog winner on Balkhis. My weekend wasn’t very productive, I slept through most of it. But other than that the week was smooth. And I am hoping that this coming week is smooth also.
There are two things that I am very excited for in this upcoming week. One is Balkhis Member Amanda Roberts is celebrating her birthday on September 11th this thursday. Which shall be fun. The next exciting thing is Izea Fest. Ooo Yeah I am going there. This is a blogger conference being held in Orlando, FL. If you didn’t register by now then you are too late. But if you are going like myself, then definitely give me a shout before hands, so we can meet up. (People who will be there, Shoemoney, John Chow, Brian Clark, Merlin Mann, Neil Patel, and I think Zac Johnson is coming as well. Well these are just some bloggers, there are a lot more that will be there. So expect to be updated on balkhis about this.

Hey, I am Syed Balkhi, The guy who is behind Balkhis Inc. I entered the industry back in 2002 not knowing a single thing. I barely spoke English at that time. In the past six years, my language barrier has been eliminated. Aside from English, now I also speak html, and php. Along with the languages I have also managed to master a few arts. Art of web-designing started when I first entered. Messing around with photoshop, I learned how to create my first web design. Now I founded a web designing firm Uzzz Productions. After running numerous amount of websites in various niche, I have mastered the art of web-development. Now I am compiling a resource of what I already know, and what I am learning on this blog.

Hehe, My pleasure. I mean typo domains are good… look at johncow.com sold for like 25k …
First off, thanks for the link-juice. Glad you’ve enjoyed the article.
Second, in regard to JohnCow.com, what first started as a typo domain, soon became an original, full featured blog. That added a lot of value.
oo yeah definately. John Cow is a unique site indeed. But it got all the attention because it was a typo domain, and then he grabbed the users that visited his site through the typo by his unique content.
Thanks for the link love
Btw your article in TUK was also a good read.

Well read some about affiliate marketing, and start on it. There is no possible way that I can walk every reader through affiliate marketing. But if you get stuck and you have questions shoot at me via email.
