Happy Halloween!

Antone Roundy — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 15:13:39 +0000

We finally got our pumpkins carved last night. The kids sketched out their designs and then drew them on the pumpkins for my wife and I to carve (they’re a little too young yet to do it themselves, but are old enough to enjoy seeing their designs finished.) For mine, I decided to try something a [...]

“One More Thing…”

Antone Roundy — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 13:37:13 +0000

As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs passed away yesterday. It’s amazing how much influence one person can have on the world if they catch a vision and pursue it with vigor. As a Mac user, every day of my life is better because of the influence Steve had on how computers [...]

Honoring My Grandfather on Memorial Day

Antone Roundy — Mon, 30 May 2011 15:00:08 +0000

A few years ago, I discovered that my great grandfather had lived till I was in my teens. I never met him because of a rift between him and my grandfather. It took me a while to forgive my grandfather (who had already passed away) for letting their personal differences keep me from getting to [...]

What is a Website Worth?

Antone Roundy — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 16:40:42 +0000

Recent valuations of some big websites have gotten me thinking — what is a website worth? A quick look at the valuations for Facebook and Groupon makes me wonder what people are smoking. At $50 billion, Facebook is valued at about 100 times last year’s earnings, and at $15 billion, Groupon is estimated to be valued [...]

How Do You Rename An Existing Product Without Killing It?

Antone Roundy — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 17:11:42 +0000

A few days ago, I launched a contest to rename my flagship product, CaRP Evolution. I had no idea the amount of emotion this would generate! On the one side are people who think it’s a fantastic idea — that the old name had…”issues”, that a more descriptive name is needed, etc. On the other side are [...]

LOST – Internet Marketing Guru Edition

Antone Roundy — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 13:19:02 +0000

Last night, I was watching the bonus DVDs that Frank Kern gave to everyone who bought Traffic Secrets 2 (good stuff, BTW). It would have been difficult to miss his resemblance to Sawyer from LOST, both in look (especially when he’s gone a while without shaving, as he had in the DVDs) and in swagger. So [...]

New Freebie: “External Pop” Displays On-Page “Popups” Over External Pages

Antone Roundy — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 17:25:35 +0000

I’ve just added a new free tool download for subscribers to the White Hat Crew mailing list. External Pop displays what appears to be an on-page “popup” message (a.k.a. “hover ad”) over an external website. It’s particularly useful with affiliate marketing to display your endorsement message (which could contain audio or video) over the sales [...]

The Next Internet Millionaire: Kudos to Jason Marshall

Antone Roundy — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 16:08:09 +0000

If you haven’t been watching The Next Internet Millionaire, you’ve been missing some interesting content. (If you go there, click “More Episodes” below the video to start from the beginning.) I wouldn’t go so far as to say that I’m learning tons from it, though there are useful nuggets of information here and there (if [...]

Welcome to the new White Hat Crew blog

Antone Roundy — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 05:25:59 +0000

It’s past midnight, so I’ll keep this brief. After previously consolidating most of my blogs into one (Alpha Gecko), I’ve decided to bring the internet marketing related portions back here. The reasons for that will become more obvious after I find time to develop a few concepts I have for making the White Hat Crew [...]
