Remember Markus Frind? He’s the guy who shocked many with a check from Adsense for over $900,000 CAD. He’s the owner of the match making site PlentyofFish.com. Well, he was featured on his local news and you can watch the video here.

What suprises me is that with all that money he only uses a single basic monitor on his desk. You would think as a one man operation running a site with over 600 million page views a month it would it be easier to work with a larger single or dual-monitor system. My guess is that this really isn’t his work area and perhaps just an area at the news station or perhaps one of many computers in his home.

MarketingExperiments.com has a great study on the power of urgency offers. Their case study shows how one site was able to increase conversions by over 500%, going from 14 sales to over 760! Better read about this one now before it’s too late!

Last but not least, I found a nifty little script that, well, helps people buy you a beer! John Delavera’s Buy Me a Drink script allows people several options of drinks they can buy you in appreciation of your site, your services, or perhaps just to get to know you.

   Miles,

   Thanks for the link to the great article on urgency/limited qty in offers. By the way, have you heard about the new Google Website Optimizer Beta? Take a look at my post on it when you get a chance.
