Ah, niche sites – how I love thee! I have always been in love with the idea of small, targeted sites that just sit out there and work FOR you. And yep, I sure loved their results before Google unleashed all those Penguins and Pandas! Such cute animals… why’d they have to make them have [...]
First off, there is a really good reason for the title of this post so bear with me for just a moment. Also, if you are sensitive to any bad language or you have kids near you that can read, please don’t go any further. Alrighty, that out of the way, let’s get down to [...]
Hey everyone! I just got off the conference call that Seth Godin, Bonnie, and Gil from Squidoo HQ held for Giant Squids so thought I’d recap some highlights here for everyone. As most Squidoo lensmasters know, Squidoo has been going through some changes so HQ decided to give us some of their time to tell [...]
Ever since Google sent their black and white animals out to get us, the term “quality content” sure has become a THING. I hear so many definitions of ‘quality content’ all over the place while traveling the internet. I also see a lot of “poo-poo’ing” from other online marketers because they see content they think [...]
I was going to save the content from this post and have it in my One Week Marketing Training Center for my members only, but I thought, “This is something we all need to talk about” – so here it is. I’m sure this will bring mixed feelings – and I’m good with that. Different [...]
Yep, I did it – I just used a ’50 Shades of Grey’ Reference… feel free to slap me…lol! It’s the cold meds. I’ve been pushing through the cooties that’s going all around here lately (I think I have my son… or maybe my daughter.. to thank for this. They both had it over the [...]
I started making money online using all free methods. However, that was back in 2007. Is it STILL possible to make money online for free? Do those type of strategies still work? Let’s talk about that – and talk about why TODAY is such a special day for me (and hopefully for you too)! Making [...]
Well, it appears that the “powers that be” in the great State of Georgia have hopped on the band wagon and passed their version of an Affiliate Nexus Tax law (nicknamed the ‘Amazon Tax’). What started out as H.B. 983 became a great big “hodge-podge” of various new and previously attempted tax laws all rolled [...]
So I’m strolling through my Twitter feed today catching up with what’s going on. Suddenly this tweet comes thru that made me laugh…then kinda want to cry because it is SO sadly real in regards to Google and back links right now. Let me show you the tweet – This tweet came across from Ryan [...]
I’m an “underdog” – a bootstrapping underdog, at that. Who woulda guessed that I’d have a chance in all this “make money online” mumbo-jumbo. I was at a total disadvantage when I got the big, hairy idea to make money from my computer at home – I knew NOTHING about it. Chances of my survival [...]
I know, I know – it’s not like me to post again so soon, but I just saw something in the Google search results that makes me laugh my a$$ off. Let me show you just how bad things have gotten…. OR, it’s a sign that another storm is coming… So I wandered over to [...]
This is yet another one of my posts that will start out with something that seems totally unrelated to the topics I normally talk about. But, if you hang in there with me you will (hopefully) see my connection and why I choose to tell this story. Once upon a time, way back in 1994, [...]
I read an interesting sports news story the other day. There’s this hockey team, the Nashville Predators, who had two very important players break a team rule…so the coaches BENCHED those 2 players (meaning those 2 players have been put in “time out” and aren’t allowed to play). That, in itself, doesn’t sound that interesting [...]
I really had another post topic in mind today that had nothing to do with Google, but I’ll wait on that. Seems the ‘hot topic’ is Negative SEO at the moment and I’m getting a lot of alarmed questions coming my way about it. So, let’s talk about it. First off, what IS “negative [...]
My last post about me breaking up with Google caused a lot of conversation…as well as some speculation as to WHY I ‘broke up’ with Google and WHAT that means now. Am I leaving the business? Am I no longer going to ever consider Google traffic and ranking again? No, I am NOT leaving the [...]
There comes a point in many relationships that one realizes that it’s time to let go… time to move on. It’s hard – especially when you’ve been conditioned to feel as tho you NEED that relationship. It’s a scary place to be when you know deep down that the relationship needs to end, but you [...]
