If you have made it here...

What a fluke! Hah! Nah, seriously. You made it to my personal diary or journal of sorts. So what about me? I'm a little mysterious.. my girlfriend likes it, and calls me Batman. I well... about me..

I am 25 years old, have a beautiful girlfriend, and gorgeous little girl. I practiced severe blackhat, hacking, cracking, and general internet "malicious behavior". I had 2 lawsuits brought against me, and turned my directions. I didn't really know what I was doing at the time, just that I knew how to program, and had a knack for busting up software, and setting up huge botnets to destroy networks. (Anyone remember rewriting forms on AOL using internal accounts and SIDs? Hit me up! :D What about using ActiveX to write in an 8kb downloader on an IE page? AOL 2.5 Anyone?) Ok, enough h4x0r talk seriously. I come from back in the day, even though I am so young.

I got out of the web and software development game for a few years, working the grind at endless high paying jobs. Regardless, I learned a lot of skills, but one of them wasn't happiness. Then I met my girlfriend, and had my daughter. I am on top of the world, but to complete me, I must be able to quit working. These are my goals.

I have been reading Internet Marketing and SEO over at Court's Internet Marketing School. For 3 months now, I have followed his site, even though out of date, and have a very firm grasp on how to really design a site for the engines approval. He helped me with the dream of building a passive lasting income. For this, I am grateful.

After finding Court, I quickly found his circle of friends, and determined what business models suited my tastes. Now that they have all started updating their sites, or going to subscription models, I was forced to put everything into action. If anyone does make it to this website, I just want you to see that it is possible, and with projects that I am learning from Ben over at Make Money Online With SEO I am going to attempt to quit my day job as an Assistant Manager for a dying furniture company.

Using techniques that I have also learned from Griz like how to optimize your click through rate, and writing for targeted adsense ads, to please both your readers and the engines, he has taught me an extreme amount of knowledge. He runs a ring of blogs. His most notable one, that I followed, is Making Money With Adsense.

Justin, at SEOZombie.com is an excellent SEO, and provides great information on his site. He runs a Nashville SEO company, and has finally started taking on bigger internet marketing and seo projects.

One more, that I almost forgot to mention.. I don't really agree with him anymore, because his blog has turned into an affiliate promotion tool, and he has gone behind closed doors, but he does deserve a mention anyways. You can find Vic Franqui at BloggerUnleashed.com.

Once again, this site is really just my diary, and a way to show support to a few people who have helped me out along the way. Remember, I have a lot of experience designing, spamming, and monetizing from my teens, so all of this really was just a refresher course for me. You can do it too, but if you have less experience, just make sure you are going to put in the extra effort. All it takes is commitment!
