The value of an old as dirt domain

As you may know, this blog gets a ton of traffic. I have no idea where from either. I’ve been starting a few other ‘non tech’ blogs recently, and came to notice NONE of them get close to the 2,000 uniques/mo that this site gets. Why? Because age is probably the single best SEO tool. The older your domain… the more people are interested in it. I think alphacide.com is around 3yo now.

For reference,
When I first started off I was getting under 25 uniques/mo. By 6mo mark my best month was 150ish uniques.

Now a consistent 2k.

Thank you all for reading my silly posts about games and stuff, its awesome to know I have a bit of a following.

Your old friend, Alphacide


Why do all posts need titles?

Because posts require titles in wordpress, my one liners sound awkward with excess words above them.

“Its about time for my daily dose of awesome”

Just doesn’t feel the same with words on its head.

Disturbia – Mass Effect

Pandora Radio and I

Its a love-hate relationship :/

My Spidy-Senses are tingling

The Adventures of Kim-Jong-Un!

Why does everyone in USA call “Skrillex!” when you mention dubstep…?

Energy Drinks, Caffeine, LoL & More!

This post should just be a random assortment of updated:

 

1) As most of you may know, I have this thing for caffeine. I think its one of the most wonderful things in existence, especially early in the morning. Than again, I don’t crash off of it so this may be biased. I tried NoS’s new flavor “Loaded Cherry” this morning, and it was wonderful. And at 260mg or so of caffeine it should keep me going a while. According to the bottle I shouldn’t consume more than 350mg caffeine/day though… I guess my 600-800mg days are overkill. Lol. Moderating stimulants is a trick for the weak. :)


2) Although my desktop has been broken for a while now, I was able to get around to trying Darius for a few matches on a friends PC. And I love him! Finally a champion that has good synergy with his abilities, adding another layer of depth most champions lack! I do however think that he is slightly overpowered, but I don’t think its his ult like most people. I think he needs a slight reduction on his base damage of either passive or q or w so he doesn’t get people to execution range so fast. Maybe a 20% reduce on w, or 20 damage on q.


3) Getting my pc fixed… PAYCHECK NOT HERE FOR 4 DAYS STILL. Its been a while since I’ve gone nearly a month without gaming with you guys. Forcing me to be social instead, damnit! But things should be back together within the next few weeks I think. I ordered a HDD from newegg that came DOA a few weeks ago, decided to just save up and get a nice ssd instead.

Grad-School, Streaming & more updates!

First off, I haven’t taken the GMAT yet so I’m not aware of what grad schools I will be able to place into.

Currently, I decided the graduate level degrees I would be interested in seeking once I graduate in roughly 4 semesters are – MBA, MS Computer Science. These are the two degree programs I have the most interest in.

But I’ve got this issue. I have no idea how to pay off grad school. Without funding coming in from parents/family it will be very difficult, especially since G-school costs more than undergrad. If you have any tips on how you did this successfully, please comment or contact me with them.

Also, my amazing homebuilt PC just took a massive shit. The hdd scratched and mobo fried itself within the matter of a few days (no idea why). I will not be streaming many games until that is fixed, as my laptop is 2005-era hardware. Hopefully when next paycheck gets here I can get back on track fixing it…

My pizza hut is so sketchy.

Ordered a pizza two hours ago.

It still has not come.

:/

Not sure how I feel about this. Stuffed crust is wonderful, but frequently the franchises are full of full retard. And you never go full retard.

No, I will not be paying for this pizza if it actually arrives. TO DOMINOS!
