New landing page for Homepage.   I will have to change the toolbar a little so, watch out for that too.

We will become the new “hoppin” search engine where people can type in any word and it will “hop” (hopefully) to an interesting site.  We will have to forego iframes but they should still be accessible if you want to find them.

Former widgets and advertising programs will change to “Advertising” where you can buy a keyword and let it “hopp” to your site if a user types your keyword.  Well, later on we will also add actual search results somehow.

I’ve like to announce that my financial situation (as you well know I have been broke during most of development of this site and had 40K of debt with maxed out credit cards and no income coming in).

To keep myself from going bankrupt, I’ve had to do a LOT of thinking and SiteHoppin simply wasn’t a great business model.

Anyways, I even owe some money to affiliates who have earned their money.

The good news is that I have been working my ass off and finally started making money on blogs and random jobs such as making E-commerce sites, blogs, and other cool Web2.0+ stuff for friends and family who needed my help.

All affiliates will be given their commission real soon here, I will also need to fix some coding changes to report affiliates based on monthly basis.

Plus, since I have not paid for your commissions, I will pay an extra 10% interest on all your commissions.

In the future, we will also set the minimum payout for commissions to $100, it simply doesn’t make sense to pay affiliates $1 via paypal and then get 70 cents.  (That’s just too much work for me and plus not enough incentive for affiliates to get to the first $100)

(Please also note that I have been paying about $400/month on a quad-CPU server to keep this site running this far, I wouldn’t do that unless I had long term plans)

I am deeply sorry again for not paying for those commissions on time, I simply couldn’t do it since this site wasn’t making money and I had to resort to other methods such as optimizing blogs and making money off AdSense.

I will also re-branding SiteHoppin as a “search” engine instead of just the SiteHoppin Toolbar.

The Toolbar will of course be always available and updated with “search” emphasis.

Thanks to those supporters out there as always, I will be re-inventing SiteHoppin as a domain search engine and submit new domains.

Plus, you Beer Stock owners will benefit greatly as we build this new SiteHoppin search engine.
(For example, you type “Beer” on the search engine and it will go to your Beer Stock Page directly.)

As far as advertising, we will start implementing Google Adsense and Chitika using the blog marketing methods I have learned while SiteHoppin was in hibernation.

Plus, we will be getting rid of “beer” and any alcoholic-related associations with SiteHoppin.  It’s simply not a great idea for promoting a business that can grow big unless our goal was only to sell beers in the long run.  If we simply didn’t have “beer” in our business model, we could be making about $50/day on search traffic even as we speak now with AdSense.

I still have a bunch of projects to do until end of this month so after that, I will be implementing some great changes that will benefit both you by bringing more web traffic and search traffic.

If you want to know what I have in mind, you can take a look at my latest idea over at Zedomax.Biz.

I will still be getting drunk as hell behind the scenes, I’ve simply decided not to put the “beer” in the videos for branding purposes.

Plus, my dad, who is also an international entrepreneur, is really getting on my case about having my drunken videos online.

I hope you all understand my new decision to brand more sober SiteHoppin.

Heck, I am glad this site still gets a good 2000-3000 unique visitors per day during hibernation.  That’s something that we can build on and make a lot of money instead of starting from scratch.

Well, it’s already 4AM here, I have another E-store project due tomorrow so I can finally pay your commissions and pay bills too.

I’d like to also shout out to Josh at Unconventional Marketing, he’s really been the force and my business partner for SiteHoppin.

Eventually, we will also have the whole SiteHoppin code available as open source and contribute my knowledge back to the community under GPL license.

Anyways, cheers, I will definitely be doing a lot of new things that will hopefully be ready by January 1st, 2008, 1st year celebration of SiteHoppin.com.

By doing this, we hope to get a lot of press and coverage to SiteHoppin plus we are giving back to the open-source community of MediaWiki, which SiteHoppin is based on.

Anyways, will keep you updated as we like to develop fast once we catch on an idea.

Cheers~

Hey, who needs a beer belly?

The Beerbelly comes with the sling, and the bladder. The sling is designed to fit up users up to 6′8″ and up to a 40″ waist. Made of neoprene, the sling insulates and feels like skin to the touch under your clothes. The bladder holds up to 80oz. of your beverage of choice and fits in a custom shaped pouch in the sling . When worn under your clothes you just look like a dude with a beerbelly. You can use the Beerbelly to hold either cold or hot beverages. The bladder has a wide mouth opening for adding ice for Margaritas, and to simplify cleaning.

Well, I’ve been improving my spaghetti and spaghetti sauce. Watch the video and learn how to make spaghetti from scratch and the latest news on how we are going to make SiteHoppin take off like crazy!

Click Here to View in Full Screen Mode

Well, in my Spaghetti version 0.3, I finally mastered the art of making Spaghetti.

Here’s how to make great spaghetti in 10 minutes:

1. Get a good tomato sauce. Don’t make from scratch, some tomato sauce in bottles do taste really good.

2. Cut up some onions, mushrooms, and garlic in “Italian” style by using your knife…

3. Boil water and put some salt and get those thingees on hot water until nice and edible.

4. Cook up some ground beef and add onions, mushrooms, and garlic and stir a lot.

5. When beef is cooked add lots of tomato sauce, then add the thingee. (crap too drunk to remember that thingee)

6. Enjoy the food and do it again daily until you develop a beer gut which will help you balance your golf swing.

7. Take some golf lessons at ProGolferDigest.com from Junger Woods. (That’s right folks, I REALLY got the golf bug, no more programming, no more blogging, just trying to make it on TV!!!)

8. Go gulp down a 40 while cooking… (oops, that should be number one)

Well, I got the golf bug so we will have to wait till I make it to the PGA Tour to make SiteHoppin take off. (Drunken dead serious!)

Hi y’all,

SiteHoppin is actually going through some “rebwanding” so please be patient.

Entrecard categories have been taken off but now you can hop your own bookmarks so its even better since you can create your own hop list.

Cheers and we should see a sudden growth of SiteHoppin coming back from the dead.

The new SiteHoppin Toolbar feature, user bookmarks hopping, brings you your online bookmarks at your finger tips.

Watch the video and find out how it can save you at least 1 minute daily on web browsing your favorite sites.

Yey, SiteHoppin Toolbar version 1.3 is out.

The new version includes My Bookmarks and My Bookmarks search function. (Also Goodrunk search was added)

Basically, now you can search your bookmarks faster.

In the below example, I bookmarked all my favorite tech blogs with “Zzz” and I can now hit the “Go Site Hop Zzz” to site hop only my bookmarks tagged with “Zzz”.

The new function only works with the Toolbar so… have fun!

Hi y’all,

We’ve been meditating, visualizing, and thinking about how to make sitehoppin really start hoppin and we think we found an answer for that…

Watch as our site gets “transformed” into a very useful tool that’s “absolutely” free.

Click Here to View in Full Screen Mode

It’s absolutely FREE, how the American economy works…

This is great for blogging if you visit like 10-20 blogs like me. I am saving so much time!!!

It should be integrated into the new SH Toolbar v.1.4 soon..

Okay, if you think this video is funny, you had enough beers. If you didn’t, you are a stuck up anal asshole and should drink a little more.

When we first listed tech’s 10 best workspaces, we downplayed the importance of design and amenities. The crowd disagrees. It favors beer. Digg’s beer, to be exact. 1,505 voted in our poll, and 28 percent chose the social news site’s workspace and its fridge full of beverages as the best workspace in tech. Were the poll’s results skewed because it hit the Digg front page? Possibly.

Next time, you can get your lover this eco-friendly beer jewellery made out of our favorite beverage, beer.

Most cans are quite nice to look at, they are brightly coloured and have some interesting designs on the outside too, so making them into a piece of jewellery would be a sensible move. This is why it is no surprise to find these Beer Can Cuffs from Elsewares.

The metal on the tin is very thin and would bend and dent very easily, but these cuffs have an addition of 100% sterling silver which will give it some strength and finish it off very nicely. Priced at $120.

Okay, you need to take a break from real life and watch our new teleport technology that will change the world…

Lol, I found this great site that uses Google API to bring alcoholic influence to your next Google search.

I typed, “San Francisco” on Goodrunk, and San Francisco Beer Guide came up first on results! Yey, finally a drunken google search baby!

I will be using this search engine from now on and maybe even add it to SiteHoppin Toolbar.

Check it out, Goodrunk.com.

We’ve been workin’ hard so don’t shoot us if you think we are just watchin’ movies on Saturday night.

Lol, I need one of these Beer Coffins. Pabst is actually one of my favorite “cheap” beer, that is when they are on sale.

SOUTH CHICAGO HEIGHTS, Ill. (AP) — Bill Bramanti’s favorite beer is Pabst Blue Ribbon. He loves it.

Really loves it.

So much so that he’s already had his coffin specially made, and it’s designed to look like a can of the trendy brew. Bramanti isn’t sick, so he doesn’t plan on needing it just yet. For now he plans to use it as a cooler.

At 5-feet-9 inches tall and weighing 280 pounds, Bramanti has tried it out though.

“I actually fit, because I got in here,” Bramanti, 67, of South Chicago Heights said. He threw a party Saturday for friends, featuring his coffin filled with ice and, what else, Pabst Blue Ribbon.
