Google Adsense Account Disabled? Try Adbrite. 2008-04-16 09:39:45 One of my coaching clients woke up yesterday to a message in her inbox that read:
“AdsenseAccountDisabled
”
She has adsense on nearly a dozen websites, a few that get daily hits in the thousands. Needless to say, she is not pleased. Seriously pissed off, and ready to scream is a way of characterizing her [...] Read more:Adbrite

You don’t have to sell your soul to sell online 2008-04-03 09:02:50 One hurdle that my coaching clients often have to deal with is learning to sell and market online
while staying true to their own values.
I help them learn that they can sell effectively online and do so with heart, integrity and authenticity.
They don’t always think that it is possible, but they do learn. [...] Read more:sell online
Tech Bubble? Did someone say Tech Bubble?! 2008-03-30 18:05:31 This video takes a few seconds to warm up, but I thought it was pretty funny. Reminds me of living in the Mission District of San Fransisco in the late 1990’s when billions were being poured into the city and I was in constant fear of losing my rent-controlled apartment to a tech company with [...] Read more:Bubble

Internet Marketing: To whom are you *really* selling ? 2008-05-01 21:35:22 It’s time to return to a topic from a previous post: Selling online without selling
your soul. Why? Because there’s a critical fact people are missing about the anxiety and fear that they sometimes feel when selling and marketing online:
When you get clear about the value of your products and services, both to yourself and [...] Read more:Internet

Passive Income, PayPal Debit Card and INSTANT Gratification 2008-05-04 23:32:54 I am surprised by how motivating it is to have a PayPal
debit card attached to my PayPal account.
It’s great being able to buy a cup of coffee, or a meal, or gas, with money that comes directly from my passive income streams. Someone in France, the U.K, the U.S or god knows where [...] Read more:Debit

BoardTracker, EzineArticles, and Universities: Create some BUZZ. 2008-06-08 21:23:41 I just created a small “screenshot” pdf of how to use BoardTracker.com and EzineArticles.com to bring traffic to your website. And as I occasionally teach topics that are timely and relevant to college students, I thought I would share with you a simple way that I use to contact university students and fill my local [...] Read more:Universities
SEO and Blog Comments: How do blog comments help your rankings? 2008-06-17 10:08:07 Many people are of the opinion that making comments on other people’s blog posts is a good tool for gaining traffic and incoming links to your own websites. There are dissenting opinions of course, including those that mention the dreaded “nofollow” tag that many blogging platforms add to URLs in comments. Regardless, if you do [...] Read more:SEO
Lowering PPC Costs: Use SEO and Unique Keyword Groups 2008-06-18 23:18:58 I have had several conversations recently with managers in E-commerce departments who want to lower their Google pay-per-click costs and increase the ROI on their campaigns. I have a simple but often overlooked answer:

Rooms for Baboons: Need a Stag Hotel in Newcastle?! 2008-06-26 13:10:33 Ok, had to laugh yesterday when seeing the website for a niche hotel provider in the U.K., called “Rooms
for Baboons”. What do these guys do? They provide hotels rooms for “Stag & Lad” parties in Great Britain. Eh?
Not being a Brit myself, I can only imagine that if I am getting married and going [...] Read more:Hotel

Sphinn: Social Bookmarking That Gets It Right 2008-06-25 10:34:00 Are focused, niche bookmarking websites the future of the Web?
Several weeks ago, I bumped into a self-described, “Internet Marketing & Discussion Forum.” Unlike Digg, Furl, Reddit, Technorati and others, Sphinn accepts links for a relatively narrow group of subjects. Topics related search marketing (SEO, PPC etc.), online marketing and social media will make [...] Read more:Bookmarking

Google Using Search History to Serve PPC Ads 2008-07-26 20:44:24 It has been known for many months that if you have a Google
account, google can track your web history and sites visited (see Search
Engine Land for a brief overview). This can be a rather interesting phenomena as Google has been using it to tailor organic search results to particular users’ tastes. For example, [...] Read more:History

Link-Building: Should you link to other websites in your blog? 2008-08-05 11:44:58 Several years ago when I first started blogging, I made a mistake that I see many first time bloggers make. My blog posts were very short, often just a couple of sentences with a link to another website. In essence, my blogging was simply about sharing cool websites and interesting ideas that I found on [...] Read more:Building
What is link bait? 2008-08-04 17:25:34 Link baiting?! Link bait?!
I subscribe to a job board that lists companies who want to hire SEO Managers and SEO Gurus of one type or another. One of the job qualifications that seems to be popping up more and more these days is:
“..must be proficient in link baiting strategies…”
Like much SEO jargon, link baiting is [...]

program (also called “Adwords”) has garnered so much attention over the last few years, that many small and mid-sized businesses have started thinking of it as a “must have” for internet marketing.
It’s not.
However, PPC is a great way to completely blow your advertising budget and get nothing [...] Read more:Advertising

Wordpress Security Issues 2008-09-19 12:30:53 I am stepping outside of the topics of SEM and SEO to briefly speak about the 1000’s upon 1000’s of self-hosted Wordpress
blogs that are being hacked all over the internet.
Wordpress seems to be the new “Windows” - it has a large enough installed user base and enough back-end vulnerabilities to become a favorite [...] Read more:Issues
