Oh yeah. Its true! I would never lie to my loyal/wonderful readers. As a Christmas gift my mom, Jan bought me my own real cool domain, who would of guessed? Bobschmuck.com. Damn, that sound awsome my own name as a domain. Haha, I own myself. Now, I can tell myself what to do and demand respect... I guess everyone know the next things I'll be typing.

As of right now, I've selected the a templet from Jon Waraas blog, Drunk Loser. I still need to talk to Jon because I've added and changed a few lines of code in the templete. For example, in photoshop, I changed the fonts on the left site navigation bar.

Anyways... I'll talk to him later so go checkout my new blog, bobschmuck.com.

Growing into a network!

I would like to introduce you to my new network, “Growing Ground”. I’ve choose this name because the meaning is based on my websites being planted and grown from the ground up with each seed growing to become it’s own network, in the future.

The Network’s To-do List:
- Setup a website for the network.
- Tweak the design and logo.
- Finish adding it to all the pages of the sites in the network
- Setup a LLC, which I'm reading and learning about, now.


I would like talk about the sites in the network…

Schmuckgame.com
This Game site has grown from just 5 flash games as a seed in the beginning into a pleasant small plant with over 100 flash games. It’s my favorite site.

Theairsoftgun.net
This site has over 50 pages and growing. It has information on anything related to airsoft guns with content on equipment, types of guns, games, safety precautions and more…

GirlyGame.net
This game site was developed to target girly girls, who enjoy playing flash games with out blood or fighting. It’s actually my wife’s idea and site.

Talkingboard2u.com
This site is still in development with information on talking boards more well know as Ouija boards. It has a page on related names for talking boards, which is rather interesting.

Paintballsupport.com
This site will have loads of information of the extreme sport of Paintballing. It’s still in development; however, it already has a great amount of information that can help any person interested in this sport.


For the longest time, I’ve been trying to some what keep most of my sites a secret but recently realizing that anyone who really wants to find out the sites that I own can easy find out with a little bit of researching. This is why I’ve decided to uncover my sites and talk about them more often.

Visiting the park

We drove to the park because the city has been displaying around 50 different large Santa cutouts in a small area of the park. If you were wondering who took the picture, we both did… First Meghan took a picture of me and then I exchanged spots with her and took a picture of her. When we got home she used Photoshop to merge the pictures together.



Did you know? It does get cold in Arizona. In the picture it was about 32 degrees. We were freezing! We’ve always lived in Arizona so we aren’t used to cold weather.

SEO: 301 Redirect

Yesterday, I was reading Jon Waraas’s Blog on using a 301 Redirect on all of his websites. He explains that using this little tip will send you to http://www.sitename.com when you type http://sitename.com. This avoids search engines from giving http://sitename.com credit. Instead your main address will receive the credit. Basically, this little tip on improving your ranking will merge the two addresses into one.

How to do this?
You might be wondering how you can do this little SEO tip too. All you have to do is access your .htaccess page and add the following code.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(.*)\.sitename\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.sitename.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Replace “sitename” and "TLD" with your site’s name and TLD.

I’ve decided to begin adding this code to all of my sites too. I’ve already added the code to my two flash game sites. 2 sites down 16 sites to go!

November Income

This month has been superb with a record daily average.

Keep in mind. My goal is to be earning $1,000 by January 2007. I only have 30 days to double my income. Wish me luck!

My Mother… The Super Writer!

You might know that Jan Pavis, an excellent writer and an Internet entrepreneur, is my mother. I would like to take this moment to tell everyone that she is one of the best online article writers around with the ability to write on any topic. I’m not just saying this because she is my mother. She’s been writing all her life and recently she’s been learning the differences from offline and online writing and catching on quickly too.

Lately, she has been receiving requests from other Internet Entrepreneurs that want articles so she decided to setup a page on her Blog for anyone wanting her writing service. If you need an article wrote, check her Writing Service Page. You won’t regret it!

Not only is she a great writer, she also helps other Internet Entrepreneurs improve their writing skills by explaining how she goes about researching a topic, writing an article, and much more. I would highly recommend reading these two posts:

- HOW I WRITE ARTICLES
- HOW I RESEARCH ARTICLES

I’ve followed, “HOW I WRITE ARTICLES“ for one of my paintballing articles and notice a great improvement compared to the previous ones. So if you want to boost your writing skills, check out her blog at, jansideas.com.

Even if you don’t have the money or don’t need her service, read her Blog so you can learn form a great self-taught writer for FREE. With her advice, you might become one too.
