Click image to try it out yourself
I am actually not obsessing about rankings anymore, I am more obsessed about traffic With Google personalizing search results more and more, the first page of Google, as we knew it, could be soon a thing of the past. But sometimes, when I try out something new, I want to see some yummy data to get a better impression on how things are going and what is work or not working. And as I also just ‘talked’ somebody through the whole process ,via email, I thought that it would be a good idea for a blog post! Never waste content you have already half written
Until now I have used Market Samurai to do this, but it is not displaying rankings as we know it anymore. If you haven’t an idea about what has happened, have a look at . . . → Read More: Keyword Strategy Tips 4 – Tracking Web 2.0 Articles

Lis published a few days ago an article with the catchy title >Right Keywords + Right Platform = Cash!<, where she advocated to use another, additional, tool to Keyword Strategy in order to find long tail keywords, that is keyword phrases that are longer than three words. I disagreed, we do disagree often by the way, but we are still friends, at least I hope so
I have no clue about Myanmar, but I do know a lot about Prague – and how to use the Keyword Strategy Tool
So I offered a proof, and run into a major problem, her seed keywords were ‘Myanmar Travel‘ and I have no idea about the locations and geography of that part of the world. I simply didn’t know if a certain exotic name is that of a town in Myanmar or that of a beach . . . → Read More: Long Tail Keywords – Can you find them with Keyword Strategy?

I am not expecting a crowd like this at the new Work At Home Forum
Most of the existing forums on the Make Money Online topic are either attached to a certain product / service like the forums of Keyword Strategy or Keyword Academy or are a bit of a ‘wild battlefield’ and not always very newbie friendly.

My personal take on making money online in 2011 and what I plan to do in 2012 and what not.
Seems it is this time of the year You know that time when all, or nearly all, internet marketers publish their yearly review and make their firm resolutions what they will do better next year Actually I didn’t plan to do this, but as it seems to be a sort of tradition in the MMO world, who am I to swim against the stream So here my take on 2011 and my resolutions for 2012:
Making Money Online 2011 Review
1. Adsense: Pretty much stable, Hubpages took a dip, some of my own sites improved, especially the German ones, income pretty much the same or slightly rising over that of the past year.
2. Amazon: Nice, nice, very nice year for me on Amazon! Compared to 2010 my income . . . → Read More: Making Money Online 2011 2012 – What has changed?

With the New Year approaching I thought it might be an idea to do a case study on Keyword Strategy by taking a domain I own, but never did anything with, put a site on it and document and publish the sites development in terms of traffic and income. Don’t die of the shock just yet, I really did say I will, for the first time ever, publish my income publicly – but only for this one site If you want to get a monthly ‘make money online income report’, >sign up to Lis’ Z-blogger newsletter on her site< – Well worth it, btw!
With this case study I hope to accomplish several things:

Woothemes, you are kidding! Right?
Honestly a plush toy as a Woothemes deal??? ROFl, I hardly could believe it when I read the email that landed today in my inbox The little guy in the photo at the right is available for the bargain price of ‘only’ $20, hurry now, the price will increase soon to a whooping $30. Or better said, don’t hurry at all, because I don’t think that will be money well spend that helps to improve your internet business. Whilst I understand why they are doing it, the keyword here is ‘branding’, I really doubt that Woothemes merchandise, stay tuned for WooTees coming soon (I guess that will be t-shirts?), will be a big hit. I mean, would you run around with a Woothemes T-shirt or have a Woothemes Plush Ninja setting on your office desk? There is a counter on their website counting down . . . → Read More: Woothemes You Must be Kidding!

These are the best WordPress plugins I found and used in 2011. The WordPress logo is no endorsement by WordPress itself, it only serves as decoration
Ok, since it is already December 2011 (Tempus Fugit!) I think it is safe to write up a post about the best WordPress plugins I used in 2011 and will, most likely, also use in 2012! Here a list of those that I use on some or all of my sites, just bear in mind that the less plugins you have the better as your site will load faster and less plugin conflicts might occur. So choose wisely BTW the titles of each description will take you to the main page where you can download the plugin – and yes, all of them are free A bit of a pre-Christmas gift for my readers All of them in order of importance (at . . . → Read More: Best WordPress Plugins 2011

Should you buy Seopressor? Read my plugin review to the end to discover how to get the same functionality for free!
Before you depart with your hard earned cash to buy the Seopressor Plugin, read my review and discover how you can get the same functionality for free! Hint, hint, you have to read this article to the end to discover that one
I first came across the Seopressor plugin some months ago as I worked on a site for a client (for more about that aspect of my online life see >Custom Designs<) and shortly after that some spammy affiliate left a completely unrelated comment here on this blog. Note to comment spammers: If you want to promote something, this is the way to do it:

I thought it might be helpful and funny for others if I put together a mini series of SEO mistakes I made. Here the first post of my new SEO mistakes series: Image Links. If you use images in your blog posts and pages, chances are that you just upload them via the WordPress interface, perhaps give them a good caption and that’s it. If you are interested in improving your on page SEO when it comes to images, here some Do’s and Don’ts for you. If you are short in time, read at least the first paragraph, it really might lighten a light bulb, at least it did it for me as I discovered my own stupid mistake!
How not to do it!

Market Samurai is a good product, Article Samurai is — NOT!!!
Hi guys and gals, I just got the ‘priority email’ aka ‘don’t miss this super-duper chance that comes around only once in your lifetime (Not!)’ that Article Samurai opens again and that begs the question: Should you buy it or NOT!? Like I wrote in my previous post here >Article Samurai or Spamurai?‘ I consider this type of internet marketing and attempt at SEO sooo pre-Panda! And no, imho, save your money also this time round and don’t buy it! Why you ask? I still hold to what I stated previously:
Cheap article marketing, especially one that uses / promotes, spun content, is an absolute No-No since the latest Panda / Farmer Update that Google implemented.
Methods like this add no value whatsoever to your own websites nor to the internet as . . . → Read More: Article Samurai Opens Again – Should You Buy?

Pinterest – Click image to follow me there …
So, ok, I have never been an early adopter when it comes to this whole social media stuff. It took me ages to get on Facebook, my LinkedIn profile is still not filled out and I haven’t got the hang out of G+ yet. So what do I do on Pinterest? And what the heck is Pinterest actually? Basically Pinterest is a site that lets you bookmark websites in a visually appealing way by pinning what interests you to one or more boards you have created. Plus it offers the usual network possibility of friends, following etc. The last one comes with a twist, you can either follow all of the boards a person has created or only a selection. This is great if you come across a weirdo like me that has boards about . . . → Read More: Why You Should Use Pinterest

Ok, I couldn’t resist the silly title inspiration, in exchange I promise to keep this blog post shorter than usual. Actually, if you are not already using Keyword Strategy it is pretty useless anyway for you anyway, so why not head over to my >>>Keyword Strategy Review<<< and see what all the fuzz is about?
Still here? OK, so I assume that you want to know more about how to make the most out of Keyword Strategy’s tagging feature? Here first an introductory video about how to get keywords for your site (I have some additionally tips on this one, but that is enough material for an own article) Just watch the video, but don’t do anything just yet, pretty please, I explain why in a sec!):
