Had to go to court this morning, and damn if I didn’t get a huge dose of reality. (NO – I didn’t end up in handcuffs.) It was actually just traffic court…guess I should back up a minute, huh? The week before Christmas, I was out doing a little shopping for the kids and got ...…
You know, EVERYBODY seems to worry about SEO. (Well, everybody that doesn’t rely solely on paid traffic worries about SEO that is…but you know what I meant.) The biggest concern you see so many IMers have – esp anybody that does any sort of niche marketing – is their SERP ranking. Where are they ranked ...…
Do you have ANY idea just how many times I’ve been asked “how to make money on Facebook”? *face palm* I am sooooo tired of that question. Why? Because it doesn’t freakin’ happen! See, with the advent and meteoric rise of social media, IMers were ultra-quick to hop on the bandwagon and start pumping out ...…
Ok by now everybody should know that Google has recently changed some of its algorithms, thus affecting (they say) some 10-12% of the sites they rank. Of the changes they’ve made, the one that’s made the biggest splash (or at least caused the most talk) in the IM world is the one that more or ...…
One of the most important things I ever learned (or more accurately – realized for myself) was that there was a lot about the internet marketing game I didn’t know and needed to learn. Now, I could learn this stuff several ways. I could go to the Warrior Forum and wade through all the threads ...…

Basically, “Pitchmen” followed around two of direct response ...…
We’ve all heard, read, or seen it before. If you’re doing keyword (KW) research, then there are a few generally accepted things that you should research, regardless of what kinda tools you’re using (Google’s Adwords Keyword tool, Market Samurai, Micro-Niche Finder, etc). Those things are: 1 – how many searches the KW gets 2 – ...…
Recently a buddy of mine forwarded me an article on a large tech / info site about the social media coupon site Groupon. Groupon basically works like this – Groupon has built up a huge email list by geographic location. Small businesses partner with Groupon to offer a discount on their goods/services. Groupon then emails ...…
LOL. Just L-O-freakin’-L. In my last post, I talked some about how Google can (and does) make SEO and getting good ole’ organic, FREE traffic a pain in the ass. And judging by some of the email I got, I’m not the only one who thinks this. In fact, I actually closed with the comment ...…
(*PITA = Pain in the Ass) What? Google makes SEO a pain in the ass? Nah…say it ain’t so! Why would they do that? I mean, Google is this huge, monstrous entity that looks to serve the world, and give its users the ultimate search engine experience, right? They like to make things simple (hence ...…
