#102I run http://postertext.com. We design art prints for bibliophiles. All illustrations are made entirely out of text.
I've been running it while traveling the world for 3 years non-stop now. Check out my AMA on reddit if you're interested: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1rneli/ive_been_travel...

#103I made a service where I find leads for other freelancers. Something I desperately wanted for my own freelance biz.

You redirect properly + submit to Google, etc? A proper redirect + submission should see a dip then recovery, not a persistent dip.
Yeah, I did a 301 permanent redirect (the redirect is still there too), redirecting each page to the correct corresponding page on the new domain. I also told Google about the redirect through the webmaster's console. I am ranking for terms like 'pizza codes', but I'm assuming that's due to my domain name (and the traffic from this is considerably less than I used to receive). I've pretty much just accepted the loss…
Feel free to shoot me an email at kevin at supremestrategies.com and I'll see if I can root out what might have caused it :)

Cool album. How did you get a big enough audience to make real money from this? Was it just word of mouth from making good tracks? Or was it also from doing shows or reaching out to music blogs or something?
Nevermind, I got it: http://www.google.ca/trends/explore#q=lifeformed%2C%20dustfo...
Yup, it was mostly piggybacking off of the game itself. Also, it was in a Game Music Bundle, which got another $10k in a week.

#107In my spare time i make more than $1,000/mo designing and building Android Native Applications for companies and businesses. Is hard to balance your time between your day-day job and your personal projects but i think is possible with a good management of time.

Any chance of posting it here? I am sure people on this site would find it useful.

Over the last few Google search algorithm updates, exact match domains (EMD's) were devalued. This could be one of the reasons why you are not ranking as highly for the term "pizza codes" while the previous domain was.
