Shopping For Ideas

Written by John Cow on November 16th, 2007

Sometimes it just happens –you just run out of things to say. No matter how hard you try, you can sit there with your fingers floating over that keyboard and the words just don’t come out. There’s nothing more to type! Have you had your say and is this the end? Well today sure feels like it. We’re running low on calcium.

Sure, we could do a filler post with a bunch of links to some cool stuff like “100+ Untapped Link Building Strategies” or 7 babes with a new blog, but surely all you guys and gals want is more information on how to make money online, right?

Well today we don’t have any. No outrageous scandals to gossip about either. Nothing to brag about, no silly photos to post. There’s not even something to LIE about! How sad is that?

7babes.jpgSurely tomorrow will be a better day. Someone with a blue money book asked us to write about a specific topic, and we will be looking into it. If you’ve got anything you’d like us to write about, ask away. Instead of the posts where people get to ask bloggers stuff, how about a weekly post where you guys get to pick the topic for? You lot can do the thinking and we’ll do the writing, even though our bigger heads are probably more suitable and therefor much better for thinking :twisted:

All our loving fans and horrible haters, enjoy your weekends and be safe!

    The cows out of milk! I can’t believe it and so soon. I will have to swap it for some magic beans.

    How about doing a best of. Like the US comedies do when they run out of ideas you know the fuzzy sort of dream sequence where they remember past stories like when Joanie, Mrs Cunningham and the Fonze had a threesome. Aah the stuff of dreams, well only if you get rid of the Fonze.

    Or more seriously you could actually do some real research and read some real books and impart the info you’ve ingested, ah I was forgetting this is blog world where all we do is recycle each others stuff and take the piss.

    That was alot of links.

  4. I know there are many of us who want to know moooooore about where Google is going with this new crackdown on text links and all…I’ve run many searches and no one seems to have addressed this issue on the web. At the very least I’d enjoy reading about theories…I wouldn’t mind a whole week’s worth of this type of info!

    Heck, I’d conduct tests myself but it’s not really my niche! :smile:

    Keep up the good work though..

  5. Try sitting down with nothing but a notebook and a pencil. If you’re lucky, the ideas will just flow from pencil to paper. I came up with 65 the other day using this method :mrgreen:

    nice way to put a bunch of interior link cow. brilliant

  9. I get days like that, best to keep a white board and whenever you get a brain fart for something to write about stick it up as a “reserve” post.

    That’s amazing how you can do a speedlinking cum roundup is such an entertaining way. One of the best speedlink post I have read.

    How about a free link and review to some of your top commentators! :lol:

    Actually, for some fluff, I’d be interested in some pictures of where you live (not your house, notta stalker :twisted: ). I ain’t never gonna get to Ireland, and I’ve heard it’s very green. How about some fluffy landscape pics or something?

    Is that just gay or what? :mrgreen:

    I am going through a dry patch as well. I guess it is time to make our posts interactive by posting something related to our readers.

    Making fun of them with your horns or even chase them around the field. :mrgreen:

  13. I got an idea…… Take a ride in your car - together with a recorder and I’m sure all the good ideas pop up. They usually do for me! But, once I step out of the car they’re gone!

    Sometimes I think I’ve got alzheimer! I’m not sure Cows can get alzheimer, or drive car….. :-) But, give it a try!

    Something out of Nothing it seems!!! Good job, I have been having a few off days recently as have been putting some effort into other projects and it blocks the creative edge!
