Hello folks,

I'm Kevin Lam, originally from Vietnam. I'm 23 years old and joined the US Navy a little over 3 years ago. I've been married 17 months to a beautiful woman named, Ashley, and still waiting another 3 months to see her again. I'm currently stationed in Japan. I've been her 2 1/2 years now.

Even so, I still run a lot of successful Internet sites. I did a lot of Internet marketing before I joined in 2003. I started in late 2001 where I made my first $100,000. I was stupid though and thought it was too easy so I dropped everything to give myself another challenge - the Navy. I wish I had picked up the "Millionaire Mind" book before that happened.

I have about 20 websites, but about 9 of them are actually being used at the moment. The rest of them will come into play later this year or the beginning of next.

I got invited to go to seminar as a guest by a very well known marketing guru (Ben Mack), but I had to turn down his offer because it's in Atlanta - I'm still here in Japan. The ticket is currently being sold for nearly $2,000... and I turned it down. I'm really bumbed about that. Oh well, I'm sure he'll invite me when I come back to the States..... I come back permanantly in March - yay!

Anyway, I came back from deployment just over a week ago and had to play catch-up with emails and other products. I then gave my focus to my own forum and have been growing that quite rapidly. Since I got back, my Alexa ranking was around 90k, it just changed to 105k today, but my daily Alexa ranking yesterday was at 13k. I'm a little happy about that. I hope to continue keeping it around there and bring my rank back down again... or up... sheesh, so confusing, lol.

Sincerely,
Kevin Lam

Thank you for the warm welcome, guys. I'll try to contribute as much as I can. I have my own forum and business to run, so I'll be quite busy. Especially now that I'm about to take on a big project.

Hey guys, I'm back after a few months of being deployed out at sea and getting my new company up and running. I've posted some today and hopefully I can find some time here and there to stop by more often. I'm now registered in about 20 forums @_@ ahhhh. Anyway, love the forum here, great stuff. I gotta go tend to my own forum now.

Sincerely,

It's alright, it's because I first introduced myself in September, lol. Then I was gone for a while because I was deployed and out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean for quite a few months. I'm in Japan now working my new business and will be returning to the States in just 12 days. I'm so excited! It'll be 3 years over here in Japan next month. Too long, too long!

Anyway, thanks for the welcome. I'll try to be around more often although I'm usually very busy. Lots to do and lots to learn. I'm trying to tackle the DOM javascripting right now. It's a whole 'nother language but I have to learn it to make my contextual ad company better than Google's AdSense. Yeah, they're using an older version Wink, more power to me!

Hi Lam,
I am Augustine Ikpong studying Internet Application Programmer somewhere in Ottawa, Canada. Presently, I have a course in my programme - E-commerce which reqiures an assesssment of a website and as such I am critiquing yours.
Your website looks pretty good, the colors match very well.
However, each page in has a long scroll to get to the buttom.
Two pages: Blogs and Links open up in new windows, I believe that they should open on the same window so that customers can stay in your site for a long time.

Thanks
Augustine Ikpong.
