Wow. A lot happens when you decide to get a life beyond the QWERTY board and actually, oh…I dunno – enjoy your family and XBox 360 (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has held a bit too much of my attention, and I still stink at it). So here’s the down-low: I’ve been offline and not working for the better part of 2012. It’s May 3rd as I write this. I had no idea what…

Is Link Building Dead? Is SEO Dead? Is Elvis Dead?

Yes. Elvis is dead. I don’t care who you saw in Las Vegas. He’s still in his blue suede casket, no disrespect to the King of whatever it was he presided over. A bit before my time. Now onto other matters… What about link-building? In light of how Google has been slip-slapping the SERPs like a newborn baby’s bottom (why do they do that?! Hands off, doc!)…sometimes it’s easier to say, “The gig’s up and…
Blog Networks Drop Like Flies and Building Empires of Sand Castles

OK really now. I got this email from Maulana T of Authority Link Network, a competitor to BMR and a place where I’d syndicate some links (and yes I mentioned them in CJ Tactics but now the jury’s out again)…the email is as follows: Hi, Due to the recent google de-indexing problem, we have made some changes in ALN 2.0 to help lowering the current de-indexing rate, however it was not enough. We have come…
The Closing of BuildMyRank and Link-Building News

In case you haven’t read it yet, BuildMyRank has closed it doors: http://www.buildmyrank.com/news/its-been-a-great-run Lately I’ve been offline, enjoying book sales and painting my house (my wife can’t stand plain white walls, I used to be a remodeler with skills in painting)…so haven’t been building links lately. It was news to me. Actually, I’d heard about it through LinkAuthority – another network that was competing with BMR…at first I didn’t believe my eyes. The other thought…
Launching CJ Tactics March 6 2012 in the Warrior Forum
Friday, March 2nd, 2012 at

I’ve had more changes in this book than I care to number – it’s already made sales at the official sales page at the full price of $67, but I’m asking everyone to hold off. Not that I don’t want to sell it at $67, but I’m launching in the Warrior Forum at a crazy discount (and that price is officially “dirt cheap” if you must know). I did want to address it since I’ve…
Add a Pinterest Button to WordPress With the GetSocial Plugin
Monday, February 27th, 2012 at

I’m on a creative kick lately with video, using the AVS4YOU suite of tools (much cheaper than CamTasia, good enough for my tastes), and decided to do a quick tutorial on adding the Pinterest button to WordPress. A number of people have asked how I’ve added the “Pin It” button to my social sidebar thingamabob (the technical name), so I figured I’d show you. The “thingamabob,” BTW, is the GetSocial plugin for WordPress (it’s FREE)….
The Best Backlink Method

OK, that might be over-selling it…but I wanted to catch your attention. I also wanted to share a video I just made recently on YouTube, about a simple method of organizing your efforts at SEO. It may seem like a moot point, but it’s the subtle differences that add up to make a success out of your SEO efforts. Here I’m talking about the “best backlinking method…” but it’s not what you’re thinking. Hope you…
Why SERPAttacks is Better than Market Samurai for Affiliate Marketing SEO
Tuesday, February 14th, 2012 at

If you’re like me, you love(d) Market Samurai. Actually Market Samurai is a great tool, it’s just been so degraded in its performance (rank tracking is worthless with it, and it’s SLOW as molasses now) – so I’ve decided to move on. For the longest time, I’ve thought that Traffic Travis Pro was the only other game in town – and honestly Traffic Travis rocks…but… SERPAttacks Pro digs a bit deeper in terms of checking…
Increasing Conversions And Knowing Why People Buy Online
Wednesday, February 8th, 2012 at

I am thoroughly embarrassed to admit this, but I’m a sucker if ever there was one…at least that’s what my PayPal account is screaming at me lately: I’ve gone on a binge lately of tools I’ve needed (all business-related, I still haven’t bought myself that gamer’s chair for playing Modern Warfare 3). All of these tools are necessary (so I keep telling myself) but then when I add it all up, part of me realizes…
Better Than Link Building: Non-SEO Traffic
Sunday, February 5th, 2012 at
1:27 am
If I learned anything in 2011, it’s that SEO traffic is the 800-pound gorilla that nobody seems to know how to avoid. It’s everywhere… My book, Duct Tape SEO, is one example of how SEO-heavy I’ve been in my own business. I build links and optimize my pages for top performance in Google… But…I’ve been thinking that link building is only going to be part of my marketing, and I’ve talked about it before…
