Funny how this business changes a mile a minute – I had another post altogether ready to go but time is of the essence: Market Samurai, one of my most-beloved and used tools for all things SEO (have you read Duct Tape SEO? I live on its data!), has completely changed overnight. I’m not the only one to take note – I’m sure the 400,000 other owners are noticing, too. Here’s what others say: What…
Since having this blog, I’ve reported several times how Google Panda took a couple of swipes at my websites in 2011. Every time I was in a tailspin of worry and doubt – being somewhat new to the game, despite what my friend Michelle counsels in her emails and comments: It’ll bounce back…give it time… And let’s face it – it makes for a fun read. My most popular blog posts tend to be my…
Three…two…one…Happy New Year! Well if we had cable TV we’d likely have watched Times Square and the revelry with Ryan Seacrest (personally, I preferred Dick Clark), watching the ball drop… This year we rented Super 8 to watch with the older 3 kids and my mother-in-law, after a time of praying and Bible reading. In case you didn’t know this about me: at my core, I’m a Christian and family man, with 8 kids. Seven…
Recently I had the privilege, and a great privilege it is, to watch It’s a Wonderful Life with my family again. My wife was next to me, and our three oldest children: 17, 14 and 12, with our wee little ones tucked away in bed. As we watched the angels discussing what to do about George Bailey, played by the memorable and matchless Jimmy Stewart, it struck me what they discussed. If you’re not familiar…
I was going to write this post before my friends Brankica Underwood and Steve Scott beat me to the punch (read her Christmas gift ideas post, or Steve’s Internet Marketer’s Christmas gift ideas post), but being ‘in the season’ of giving it struck me that nobody seems to know what to get me for Christmas. No, I don’t think Christmas is “all about me,” I have some deeper spiritual roots than that. BUT I also…
Recently there was an article from PotPieGirl about Yahoo! Site Explorer being retired officially (the most popular backlink checker there was), and that presents a conundrum for a lot of SEOs and affiliate marketers. The API for YSE powered the Rank Tracker in Market Samurai in terms of checking backlinks, as well as SEOQuake and SEO for Firefox (to name a few favorites). So what now? The Benefits of Yahoo! Site Explorer Why did everyone…
Here I want to report on how Black Friday and Cyber Monday did for my own internet marketing business (those of you who don’t know me, I’m an affiliate marketer and web publisher who eats well on a passive income, thank God). For someone who looks forward to this day every year (one day I’d like to be a consumer again versus madly pursuing opportunities, but I digress), At least I thought it was a…
I’ve been with HostGator for the better part of this year, after my last webhost went batty and had constant server crashes (on a shared hosting account that’s not good: all my sites went down at once). Since joining HostGator, though, I’ve had no trouble. Since it is going to be “Cyber Monday” tomorrow, I wanted to invite you to join with HostGator and get a whopping 50% off their hosting packages (yeah I said…
Though I’ve only been a customer a short while with BuildMyRank, I’ve had some testing going on I wanted to report on since it’s pretty jaw-dropping for me. I was pretty skeptical, especially since it’s “just another” blog network, right? So I decided to test the 10 free links they give you to try it out. I mean, how big a deal could those 10 links be? Note: I can’t guarantee your results will approximate…
Until recently, I have been working on content for my websites. But now I am in backlinking mode, and I am using the BuildMyRank service, which I had been avoiding like the plague. It’s not as if I didn’t want to use BuildMyRank, Lemme ‘splain what I mean, and why I thought BMR was stupid to begin with. Why I Thought BMR Was Stupid on Steroids [M]y first impression when this whole service first became…
