2007: Year in Review

Although impNERD is still a baby, its predecessor has been around since 2005. And although not every post made on ChickenCamels was technology or webmaster related, I would still post about it every now and then. All related posts have since been migrated to impNERD, so for you to enjoy, here are the top posts throughout the year.

February

The first post of the year on a webmaster/technology subject was YPN Advertised on AdSense. There were plenty of conversations on WebmasterWorld and DigitalPoint about AdSense advertising on YPN, but not many about the opposite. I attempted to get it going.

July

I offered a way to create hard-to-guess but easy-to-remember passwords as a download called PHP mnemonic password creator.

September

September was full of related posts. I started to get into the groove on ChickenCamels and decided to start creating more content. Towards the end of the month I decided to start making plans on releasing impNERD.

There were many complaints around the blogosphere on YPN not paying for international traffic. I offered a way to show different ads to non-US residents while showing YPN to residents at How to Geo-target for YPN.
Yahoo! Mash was the new guy in town in the social networking world. The only way to join is to have an invite. I offered some free for comments on the blog at Free Yahoo Mash Invites.
A new phenomenom started when iPod released the new nano. A talented female starred in a commercial that rocked the web. I posted about it at 1234 iPod Commercial.
