Hey, I’m Andrew. I moved to Portugal from Nova Scotia, Canada. Follow my journey here.
I’ve been building and monetizing content sites since 2003. I have built and ranked dozens of sites over many years, and I built my own WordPress SEO plugin, called SEOMedic. Now I build niche directory sites and teach others to do the same.
I’m certified in Claude and Claude Code, and a certified Systeme.io funnel builder. I run Reddit and YouTube ads for clients.

Attention Grabber crashes our site. Does anyone else have this problem? I like Attention Grabber but cannot use it.
I haven’t had a problem with it. Perhaps you could check out Hellobar instead.
Thank you Andrew, for this, I have installed the Hello Bar on one of my site, blackfriday1stop.com I’m also subscribed to your emails, very good tips.
Thanks Scott. Glad you’re getting value out of it. Thanks for letting me know!
attention grabber was a let down. Bought it on codecanyon then it was taken off with no updates or support available from author
Hi Sam. You are correct. It seems to have been removed from Code Canyon. However, it still works if you downloaded it at the time you purchased it.
Unfortunately, Envato works like that. That being said, It did have a few updates after I purchased it, but the nature of the internet is that nothing is forever.
Hellobar is free for 25 clicks per month, which should cover you until you can upgrade to the paid version.
