What Is The Best Way To Learn SEO?

I’ve received numerous emails over the weekend from people asking what the best way to learn SEO was.

I have been mentioning, throughout my blog, about how good Search Engine Optimization can increase your Affiliate Sales from within your Website(s). Aaron Wall wrote the SEO Book and I highly recommend it. It’s one of the few ways I would suggest, even to my own family, on learning Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

Aaron Wall is like an “SEO Beast” and everyone in the industry believes so as well.

So, check out SEO Book and take advantage of Search Engine Optimization. The book is for newbies and advanced SEO’s alike. I don’t know anything that compares to the SEO book, especially for the price!

All In One SEO Plugin For Wordpress

Category: seo | Leave a Comment

In the past, I have tried a lot of different plugins for Wordpress, including most of the popular “seo” plugins. Most of these plugins weren’t very helpful, in my opinion.

But, thanks to Chris Hooley, I have found a new plugin called “All in one SEO Plugin”. This plugin is awesome. It’s easy to setup with a little bit of SEO Knowledge and I love how it functions.

Get the All in one SEO Plugin here.

This plugin is awesome and it’s free!

Danny Sullivan is Back! SearchEngineLand.com launches December 11th, 2006!

Category: My Life, seo | Leave a Comment

I found a link on threadwatch.org which talks about Danny Sullivan launching his new site SearchEngineLand.com on December 11th, 2006.

I can’t wait until then… should be a great site to browse when I get the spare time! For those who don’t know who Danny Sullivan is - find out here.

It still surprises me how many “SEO Experts” don’t know who he is… haha.

Was there a Google PR Update?

Apparently there was supposed to be a Google PR Update and everybody but me has seen changes lol

Out of 5 sites I’ve checked there was no changes on my end or even checking the livepr sites.

Members of DigitalPoint seem to think so as well as the more popular member Shoemoney.

Oh well, maybe next time?

Does Money make an “expert” an EXPERT?

I’m constantly finding all of these “Internet Marketers” claiming to be “Experts” in… well, just about everything. Some make good money, so they claim, while others don’t claim to make any specifics - just “millions”.

I see alot of these “Adsense Experts” or even better: “Adsense Gurus” claim to be making $20,000+ per-month with stories of how “they can help you Discover ways to Explode your Adsense Income”……..basically claiming to make you earn as much as them (just see their Earnings Disclaimer and any other Disclaimers on their site before purchasing!) within a few hours.

The BEST parts of their stories that they DON’T tell you about are:

Kelly Felix aka “The Rich Jerk” exposed…

So I guess someone found out who The Rich Jerk was? I found a picture of Kelly Felix aka The Rich Jerk earlier today and found out a little about his past history. Here’s a picture of The Rich Jerk in real life, doesn’t even look similar to the pictures he posts on TheRichJerk.com at his celebrity poker tournament. I figured it wasn’t him…actually I knew - but yeah, here’s the picture of him and his wife:

The Rich Jerk aka Kelly Felix

Apparently Mr. Felix was an aspiring actor in the past but didn’t quite make it in that field… I guess he found a more dramatic way to earn money though, right? I guess when you go from one dream to a simple Idea that changes your life around so quickly - dreams can be recreated!

I know alot of people talk about the book in a negative way - but the simple truth is: The book is GREAT for ANYONE because it reminds the more advanced people that this stuff shouldn’t be as complicated as 300 books filled with 300 pages of filler. Marketing Online is easy if done right and the way it’s presented in this book is simple, yet effective. Bottom line.

Oh yeah, you will see my name in the list of Testimonials as well… I ended up reading the book twice but never purchased it. But I believe there’s a new updated version coming out soon and if it has newer content –  I’ll definately give it another shot. It’s definately worth it compared to so many other crappy books.

The cool part of this book and the Ideas behind it is - this guy… a nobody in the “Marketing world” would have never made it under his name, more than likely. There’s so many “butt-buddies” out there giving testimonials to their friends and NOT REAL Testimonials for GOOD books. This guy took it to the next level and created his VERY OWN Marketing strategy that demolished every other “e-marketer” on the web…face it.

“My secrets wouldn’t be effective if everybody were using them”

While some people are learning by trial and error, others are looking for the fastest path to the Million Dollar dream. I’ve noticed so many Multi-Millionaire “Marketing “GURUS”" (Yes, that’s quotes inside quotes because I believe the original quote was not enough) are lying through their teeth about “what they know” and their “secrets” they’ve “discovered” and even how some have “unlocked the secrets” to something Technical they have no clues about.

The honest truth is — you’re being pitches with “powerful words” that are known to grab your attention. Call it Hypnotic Marketing or call it complete and utter nonsense. Either way, you can call it over-hyped, over-priced filler with a few facts they’ve found from others…

“MFA” = Made For AdSense sites are trash.

I won’t lie… I wanted to purchase one of those GREAT SOUNDING Packages for “AdSense Ready” Websites with 30,000 Articles, ready to go for anybody for only $99.00! Sound too good to be true?

If you thought it did - you are dead on. Made For AdSense website companies who sell these packages are overselling these products like crazy, but lying to you in their sales pitch. Each company stresses that they “DO NOT” Oversell their packages, yet they OBVIOUSLY DO! Everywhere I go I see the same trashy websites with the same overly used garbage articles. And the poor saps who purchase these packages might make $10 back, if they’re lucky enough not to get banned by Googlewho is coming down on these MFA Sites.

Surchin.com

I found a cool new Search Engine today called: www.Surchin.com and so far it’s awesome. I like how it shows results for the searches. Give it a shot - it’s well worth the 2 minutes to do so (if that)!

AOL Search Data Leak lead me to this…

So most of you know by now about the AOL Search Data Leak… I was reading a blog today (I would link to it but I accidently closed the tab and can’t remember the link - sorry to the guy/girl who owns that blog!) and I found a link to this result showing a guy searching for some rather “unusual” information. I hope it didn’t turn out to be as bad as it looks!???

Big money burning big holes in big corporate pockets?

Everywhere I look lately it seems that Google, Microsoft or another gargantuan Corporation is throwing hundreds of Millions of Dollars into sites such as Facebook.com, MySpace.com, etc. while sites such as YouTube are being reported to be making huge ad impacts lately as well. It’s a huge Social Networking market out there… just not for Adult Social Networking sites apparently lol

New Projects coming soon.

I’ve just hopped on 3 new projects… I’m not sure why I’ve done this as my Health problems may slow me down later, if the doctors find anything. All three projects are pretty damn big too!  One is an Automobile Website…actually a Portal full of Auto Info. Another site is for ..I can’t say….but this one will be the biggest of the three. I’m actually excited about this one as I know it will turn out pretty successful on a nationwide level. Then there’s another one that’s like an entertainment type portal. It might come out pretty successful but not huge, if you ask me. It will be kind of different from the others though. I have alot of ideas for this one to make it a little different from other sites that I’ve looked at over the past few days.

All will incorporate PHP, MySQL (I may try oracle for ONE!), AJAX and more web 2.0 designs for them.

Who owns these? Oh, that would be me. :)

I’m just trying to get more sites under my belt now… right now I have about 100 Domains but only about 20 that are built out now. I may start selling some of the other domains later, I guess I’ll see what happens.

clenard aka Clint Lenard

So I was playing around on Google, Yahoo and MSN (Big three Search Engines) and I was searching for “clenard”, which is my username on so many forums such as Sitepoint.com, PHPFox.com, Dallasphp.org, phpbuilder, etc, etc. and I noticed that was actually someone’s last name. I wonder if they pronounce it the same way I do? Odd. I was baffled by how Google hates me so much! It seems every site I own gets knocked to the d@mn sandbox on Google lately. Could this be to Google switching their algorithm recently? Yahoo and MSN picks up all my sites fine, so it seems.

I was a big Google fan for a while but lately with them trying to take away my adsense account and then immediately kicking my site to the sandbox because of THEIR mistake (which they still have not fixed!!!), “kinda” pissed me off.

Oh well, Googles come and Googles go.

The moment has passed…

When I first created this site almost 3 weeks ago I was posting a ton of stuff…now that it’s a little older, I’m a little less tempted to post. That sucks though! I need to post more because I have alot on my mind lately. Especially with all the projects I’ve been working on. I guess I’ll try to post more on those in the next few weeks when I have more of an update.

On a sidenote — I’ve been working with a few new “web 2.0″ designs over the past few days and they came out pretty nice, if I do say so myself. :)

24 Hours and already listed in Search Engines.

Not bad I guess? I haven’t submitted this site to any Engines yet… I’ve always seen better, quicker results by not submitting to Search Engines and letting them find you, in my experience. I’ve yet to see a site get picked up so quickly though!

Technorati picked me up too… that’s odd. I never really paid much attention to that site but I guess I should see what its all about, huh?

I’ve got so much to write about each day but not much time. I gotta say though: It feels good to Blog about stuff when you feel like there’s not anybody to talk to at the time. Life has been boring and I guess writing about being bored makes it a little less boring or something? lol
