Just HAVE to post this, this is too funny.

I just checked the Google Pagerank today for my various sites and noticed that Google have just updated their pagerank. I have some sites which Pagerank have gone up and some which have gone down - that wasn’t what surprises me.

What surprises me is that for the FIRST time EVER - Google Pagerank is proportional to the level of business I’m doing on a site and the traffic that I get for it!! Continue Reading »

MyPopcornMachine.com’s new look!

Hey, just to let you guys know that we have done a redesign for our MyPopcornMachine.com website. We have added several funcationalities to it to improve your shopping experience.

Check it out and give us some feedback!

I’m glad to announce here that Guillen Global has sold one of our ecommerce site WholesaleCollegeTextbooks.com to the former CIO of Lehman Brothers Asia and Barclays Capital Americas Nick Themelis. This is to consolidate our ecommerce portfolio, and we’ll thereafter focus more on our concession equipment and pet supplies business.

Here is the official press release

To our customers, thanks for your continual support this couple years, we had a great run and hope you guys enjoy the site under the new management!

Check out this video by Google on Youtube to find out this new browser by Google.

You can download it at www.google.com/chrome

Couple noticeable differences between Chrome and other browsers:
- Integration of the search box with the address bar
- Ability to drag and drop tabs (amazing)
- Automatic detection of in site search engine
- Seperation of browser application with desktop application, so one’s crash would not affect the other

I’ve downloaded it and started using it, it is, as advertised, very fast and stable. The only setback I have so far is that it doesn’t work with Roboform (which I cannot live without) yet.

Anyway, go download it and check it out for yourself.

Hey guys, sorry for not posting for a while. The reason is because I have been busy in the US for the past 3 weeks attending the Internet Retailer Conference & eBay Live 2008, a 2 Day 4 Men Intensive and Roundtable meeting with Perry Marshall, and attending my sister’s graduation at Northwestern University. Anyhow, this week, I will be posting about my Continue Reading »

Google Adwords is the most popular (and well-used) platform for advertisers on the web. Everyone uses it. And while, at least for a little while, none of these people are going anywhere, Google’s newest addition to their adwords application is causing a stir.

Basically, they added a feature for advertisers called ‘automatic matching.’ The simple version of how Adwords works is that you enter certain keywords Continue Reading »

If you don’t know who Gary Vaynerchuck is, he should really check him out. He’s the frantic voice (and face) behind the wildly popular video-blog wine Library TV, where he reviews both expensive and inexpensive wines with a flair only he can bring (he calls it bringing the ‘thunder’). More than a great Continue Reading »
