August 20, 2008
Thanks to NBC, I discovered Sportstrick.com. I ranted about NBC not carrying live action certain track and field races and blocking videos of them on Youtube. If you were a member of the Caribbean Diaspora living in the US you would have been particularly pissed about this. We did not see Usain Bolt record breaking performance live and a couple others.
I have gave 5 reasons why mainstream media like NBC must never again be given exclusive rights to cover major events like The Olympic Games and how I used Seth Godin’s book to prove it.

They were also races that were some of the most anticipated globally. A fact missed by NBC executives it seem. Read more

CARIBBEAN BLOGGERS AND SITE PUBLISHERS MAKE MONEY WITH PERFORMANCING ADS
August 7, 2008
It is rare to find a real money making opportunity for Caribbean bloggers and site publishers online outside of Google Adsense. Typically ad networks and affiliate programmes tend not to be relevant to Caribbean sites and blogs, especially if they don’t target and attract a US, European or Canadian audience. Even Google Adsense tends to assign greater value to clicks from US traffic than from traffic originating from the Caribbean. Enter Performancing Ads, they couldn’t care less about the source of your traffic or how large or small your blog or site is, they just want to help you monetize it. Read more
