Hi Everyone!
I’ve decided to move to Blogger because I feel they are easier to use and have neater features (even if the templates aren’t as varied or beautiful).
If you’re reading this, know that I’ll keep this blog open indefinitely. If you followed this blog regularly (thank you!), please continue to follow us at its new [...]

Hi Everyone!
I just saw this story on Yahoo! Canada. It’ll be gone tomorrow, so I’ve grabbed the screenshot.
Answer honestly now: Would your first attempt at writing a blurb for this story include what they found? I would have. That’s why I need copywriting school. (^_^)
Also, if you’re curious about what the doctors FOUND, read the [...]

Hi Everyone!
Last Friday I attended an internet marketing seminar, with the main instructor being Bud Lethbridge. For Search Engine Optimization, he instructed on four things:
(1) Search Engines are looking for primary keywords in the site name. If you can’t get just the word (e.g., www.taxes.com), go for memorable made-up words (e.g., www.taxinator.com, a play on [...]

Here’s the short of how to be on Google and Yahoo search page 1 in just 3 days. Step1: Sign up on Overture (bought out by Yahoo for 1.63b and now called Yahoo Search Marketing… but just type in Overture). [...]

“Simon, what saddens me the most
is that you can change your life,
but you’re going to walk out of here today knowing you aren’t going to do anything.”

I went to an internet marketing / internet store hosting seminar today (and let’s be honest here, seminars are supposed to sell you something, right?). During the [...]

Just finished reading a great little book today about building websites: Don’t Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability, by Steve Krug.
His “Laws of Usability”:
#1 – “Don’t make me think”
#2 – “It doesn’t matter how many times I have to click, as long as each click is a mindless, unambiguous choice.”
#3 – [...]

Hi Everyone!
You may have read in a previous post that on Saturday, October 25th, 2008, I’m attending an all-day seminar on internet niche marketing.
I’ve already paid the full fee, and included is the opportunity to bring one guest for free. So I thought, well, why not? I asked around my immediate friends who have their [...]

As you know, I’m working on Attraction Marketing under my friend and mentor, Linda Hughes. She sent me this instructive/informative two-part video supposedly detailing how an e-mail marketer made $10,000 to buy five live cows. If you’re in online marketing, you’ve probably seen it already.
But never mind about the cows. That’s not what the [...]

“FREE open amateur Poetry Contest! Enter to win $10000″
Why, oh why did I bother to write anything on that page? I might as [...]

The gurus say one of the ways to build website traffic is to have link exchanges. And supposedly, providing high-quality links to your visitors will also cause search engines to rank your site more highly.
