First of all I would like to say sorry for the lack of updates. I have had to make a few really important decisions and with increasing amount of work, blogging was not on my priorities list.
I’ve decided that I will not be continuing with my university degree. Instead I will concentrate on my online ventures and continue doing what I was doing full time. There were a number of things that influenced my decision. First of all I did not feel like I was learning anything, in fact, most of the time I was the one sharing most up to date information. Secondly, I just could not see myself doing anything with my degree. Especially when you are expected to fork out all these money in order to get there. (If you don’t remember I was doing Internet Management and Web Design)
In general things have been good. The minute I set my mind to work and my decision was out of the day I started breaking daily revenue records one after another. I am currently concentrating on CPA and ClickBank marketing although after meeting some very talented people we have been playing with an idea of launching a startup. I will keep you updated on that if we do go ahead with it.
I went ahead and removed some of my previous blog posts. The post about Linkbucks was way too cheap. I don’t know what I was thinking. Nobody should lower themselves to the level of earning pennies for spamming links. I would rather teach you some real marketing. Secondly there was a post about Revtwt. Now it looks like these guys are going downhill so don’t bother with them either.
There have been some interesting developments with nofollow links. As you remember I always said that nofollow links still helped you rank better for your keywords. Even though I had some proof, most people remained sceptical. Maybe I will blog about that next and tell you some interesting things Google has been recently saying about nofollow linkage.
Meanwhile, I hope I still have some readers left and I’ll be bloging for you guys soon

Congrats
Yeah I had to make the similar decision few years ago. I decided to dropout from college and started a web design company. Even though I switched now to almost all work to be in IM and not web design
I don’t think I would learn anything there so I don’t regret my decision. If you are looking for 9-5 job than degree is good but If you are good IM I don’t think you don’t need it.
Big breaks in posting can kill a blog but you always provided good content so If you keep doing that people will come back I have no doubts. Just try to be regular this time
p.s. even though I think your insight on nofollow would be great I still would like to know your opinion on some other stuff. What do you think about sitewide links? Is it good way to make a network of a few authority sites and interlink them? I see big companies use this approach and their sites rank pretty well. I read somewhere I think Blue Hat Seo how sitewide links still bring the value to both sites even if it’s the lame old 2 way link exchange. What you think? Thnx
Yeah I’ve been focusing on my movie/tv sites using CPALead and using PPC to promote offers on affiliate networks like NeverBlue Ads which has been going great so far. Good luck please keep us updated!
Hi,
It is great you discovered what you enjoy doing.
It has been a while, and things do change all the time.
I have been following your blog for a while until I left the online scene due to lack of commitment. I was testing with 30+ autoblogs which did not turn out as profitable as imagine. So I decided to give up my online venture and start to look for work again.
Hope you have a great time and I will definitely come back to support you.

Hi Ilia, good to hear from you again, I hope everything works out! I am sure it will!
I appreciate your courage to quit the university,I hope I can be like you working freely soon once I get enough stable income everyday.
Congratulations on your choosing the university of life as your education, Ilia! I doubt that you will look back and ever regret making this decision. It will be great getting more of your insight, and it is also gratifying that you’re going to focus on the more realistic internet marketing efforts we can engage in to make an online living. I’m looking forward to your posts. Good luck!
You’ve been working for yourself long enough to make the correct decision as to what will be the best for you. Now let’s see if you can become one of the great internet merketeers, one of those that flash their $1000,000-00 cheuques as proof of their success
All the best.
Congratulations, my buddy! It’s a brave decision and I wish you the best of luck!
I’m a student myself (I study management) but it’s kinda hard for me to “convince” my family that the Internet is… real. No AdSense or ClickBank cheque was able to prove this to them… But, I only have one exam left, so, at this point, it’s no biggie anymore…
Out of curiosity, do you have a mastermind group?
thanks for inspirational content for other which will help to other to do start earning
thanks
