If you’ve been following the WebWriMo challenge, you know that it wasn’t as successful as many hoped to be. There are no official numbers from the rest of the group just yet, but to my knowledge, only one person completed the challenge, and that person is InternetAuthor of Wickedfire. She joined the game much later than most of us, and kicked our asses in a couple weeks. This beer is to you InternetAuthor! As...

Just wanted to pop in really quick to wish my 2 readers a happy Thanksgiving. We as affiliates, SEOs, or whatever you may do online, are extremely fortunate that we can work the way we do; when we want, how we want, and for as much money as we want if you really think about it. Just the fact that we were able to afford a computer and internet connection at one point, so we could start our own businesses online,...

I’ve added the no-follow free plugin to hopefully give motivation to those willing to participate. November 11th emp posted an update on Blind Ape SEO, with a fancy graph. Go check it out in all its fanciness. Glowleaf is way ahead, with Greg in second with a baller moustache for the month of Movember. However, assuming that nobody has written much in the last few days, my new word count would put me in...

Dominating the local SERPs has been something I’ve been pondering for quite some time now. But as with so many of my projects, I never get around to them, lose inspiration, or some other pathetic excuse. The reason local SEO has always appealed to be is the added sense of security. There will always be small business in my area that are looking to expand onto the web, and I certainly believe I can help. My...

I used the following method to earn my first few bucks with affiliate marketing not all that long ago. I continue to use it today. However, the exact method I’ll explaining I no longer use because it got saturated, and the ads may not even be TV or radio on anymore. Whatever it was, I stopped making money with it and moved on. The Concept The basic stradegy is to bid on keywords that people may be searching...

Every time I start a new Wordpress based site, I usually spend multiple hours looking for an appropriate theme. Luckily I know enough HTML, CSS and PHP to modify the themes a bit. Otherwise I don’t think I’d ever get any projects completed. There’s always something like 125×125 ads, horrible coding, bad slicing, or some idiot trying to be innovative by adding a completely useless feature...

I mentioned my extra motivation to get this blog up in my first post. EMP, veteran WickedFire member, and the writer behind Blind Ape SEO has started the first WebWriMo challenge. The goal is to write 50,000 words worth of content during the month of November. The idea is inspired from National Novel Writing Month where people are encouraged to write a full novel in a single month. Quality is not a factor, the...

I happen to be far more productive around 2-3am than any other time of the day. The bad part is that I get exhausted around 6am. This leaves me with 2-3 hours of peak productivity. During the day I’m constantly getting distracted by my horrible cigarette habit, my ever-nagging brother, or even TV when I’m extremely bored and unmotivated. But in the wee hours of the morning, I can actually focus in...
