Have you seen those page peel advertising on the corner of the websites? Once the user point his/her mouse on top of it the corner area, the ad peels off revealing a banner underneath it. The ad can be clicked on and the user is taken to a the advertisers page.

The peel away ads can be placed on your website by a PHP script. It can place the ad on either one of the corners of the page.

On PHP Galleria I’m selling the Peel Away Ad Script for $9.99. Check out the live demo and feel free to ask any questions you have by posting a comment here.

During the past few months I’ve been upgrading a lot of my websites and have been going through a lot of WordPress theme websites. Following are my top 5 favorite ones:

This blog’s Theme

This blog  (Nima Heydarian) has  my favorite theme for a personal WordPress site. It’s really simple, easy to read, and doesn’t scare people off. I had this coded for me over a year ago. I’m thinking about cleaning the code and making available as a downloadable theme.

Magazine Theme ($79.99)

This magazine theme is offered by StudioPress. I use it on one of my own websites (Automation News) and am very happy with it. It’s a really good package out of box but can be easily customized too. It look very professional, its very clean, and still has space for ad placement.

Gazette Theme ($70.00)

Gazette theme is from Woo Themes. They also have a good number of WordPress themes for sale. I run Biomedical News on the Gazette theme. I wanted a theme that looks like a news website allowing me to show the last 10 articles or so on the homepage with a “featured” story feature. This theme has all of those. It is also very customizable from the admin area. It has a lot of SEO plugs built into it as well but I usually install all of those on my own.

I bought a second website over a week ago from Flippa. The seller claimed over 10,000 unique visitors a month and over $500 revenue a month. After the sale completion I sent the payment via Escrow. The seller sent me the files and transferred the domain name on GoDaddy.

I put the site on my server with my ad codes. Escrow transaction entered into its inspection period. Site made about $10 a day (screen shot below) average while I had. It wasn’t what was claimed on the sale. I couldn’t confirm the traffic on the site either. I installed Google Analytics and WordPress Site Stats plugin neither one of which could confirm more than 15 visitors a day (far from the 10,000 a month). AWStats on my server wasn’t any different either.

The seller couldn’t do anything to show me otherwise either. Once I couldn’t verify the traffic I was doubtful of the clicks (on the ads) to be real clicks. After giving it few days I decided to call the sale off and rejected the Escrow transaction. I returned the site’s ownership to the owner in GoDaddy. After he received the domain and changed the ad codes he rejected the return of the site (on Escrow). He basically said I did not return the site to him.

I contacted him for his reason but he hasn’t replied yet. I’m assuming he wants me to send him the revenue from the few days that I had the website. I had already told him that I would send him all the revenue minus the Escrow fees that I have to pay once the return is completed. The total income during the inspection period was $62.61. The Escrow fees were $22.10. So I owe the owner $40.51. I think its pretty reasonable that I don’t want to send the money until my $1700 in Escrow frees.

I searched the Escrow website and found their policy on the disputed sale. Hopefully the return transaction won’t get messy.

My cellphone (Droid ERIS) was stolen last week from my hotel room and whoever stole it was uploading inappropriate pictures to my Facebook account using my phone. I reported the phone stolen and stopped the service on my account until I get a new phone. The phone was a Verizon phone so it can’t be used on any other account but my information on is now all stolen.

I did a little research and found a new app that allows you to find your stolen cellphone and allows you to wipe out all your phone’s data remotely if it is stolen. It’s called Lookout Mobile Security. Right now it seems to be free. I hope it stays that way until I get my new phone (Droid Incredible) in mail.

I had bought the stolen phone few month ago so I wasn’t eligible for a discounted upgrade and had to pay full retail price for the cell phone. Good news is the hotel agreed to reimburse me for the cost (a little over $550).
