You are invited to participate in one of the most comprehensive and down to earth SEO courses that has ever been revealed online.
Nicolas Prudhon of SEO Help fame has just launched his 100% free SEO Mastery Course.
The course was launched today June 1st and because of this I have not personally been able to complete the course yet. However, the very minute that it was released I signed up for it and I suggest that you do the same right now.
If you have been following this blog you already know that I do not recommend anything that I do not trust 120% myself. My main concern is YOU (my loyal reader) and that is why you will only find truly valuable recommendation posted here. No scams or programs that would not benefit you will ever be pos... Read more

There are many reasons for using URL shorteners but the first and primary reason is to take long URLs and make them shorter.
This is especially true if you are running Wordpress blogs where you will automatically get a pretty long URL if the title of your blog post is long as Wordpress takes your title and adds dashes between the words. You can easily change this manually but most people don’t (I normally forget it myself).
You have probably heard of the free service called Tinyurl that was one of the first services online that would make you take a long URL, enter it into a box, click a button and generate a new and shorter URL.
However, since then there are lots and lots of new and similar free tools available and Hongkiat has created a... Read more

I am sure that you have been reading a lot about Google’s brand new free tool called the “Google Wonder Wheel”. The fun thing is that there is actually not that much new about it except for the fact that where they were previously providing you with the information as text and links and now they are showing it to you in a visual way with “the wheel”.
There are a lot of people that find it hard to come up with domain names when starting out a new website so I had the idea that since the Wonder Wheel is great for doing initial keyword research as well as doing some site structuring why not try to use it for domain picking?

Today I want to talk about a subject that I had been struggling with for years when I started out online but over time I have come to avoid doing the things that would keep me from becoming successful.
In the free 9 Money Making Mistakes report I talk about a lot of these things in depth but for now I would just like to take one of them and elaborate a little on it because it was when I once read what someone else has written that I realized that I was doing that very same thing to myself.
But first please answer me this question:
Are you at the point in your online business where you are making the amount of money you want, have the lifestyle and free time you want?
For most people trying to make money online the answer to that question i... Read more

If you’re looking to buy a website or a link on a website how can you be sure to detect a faked pagerank?
Since a site’s PR will have a great impact on the price that the seller can charge there are people that create false pageranks for their sites in order to artificially drive up the selling price.
Being on the other end of the trade you should always check whether the reported PR is real or faked.
Unfortunately I found that the tools that are “available” to test whether something fishy is going on is either not working or is not giving you the correct results.
But let me go through them one by one.
Reviewing Fake Pagerank Checker Tools
The #1 listing is CheckPageRanking.com and to test the tool I entered this blog as I know tha... Read more

This post is going to be brief but I just want to share this little trick with you about how you can easily come up with a ton of great and relevant “tags” to put on your blog posts. Well you can even use them in your hubpages, squidoo lenses and what have you.
What you do is simply go to Google and enter the keyword phrase that your post is about (and hopefully optimized for).
Once you get your search results click on the little link that says “show options”
Then click on “related searches” and voila
Here are all the tags you’ll need. Copy and paste them and you’re done.
To Your Success,
Mikael

I came across a great article over at DigeratiLife about the fact that there are a lot of people looking into how they can be able to retire in a cheap place. The reasons for this can be many but I believe that a large part of it is that the latest crash in stock portfolios and house prices have had a drastic impact on a lot of people looking at their retirement.
I’ve personally been looking for places where cheap retirement would be possible but not because I am looking to retire but rather that I want to experience what great lifestyles you can have without making millions of dollars per year. For instance I’ve found that you are able to have a pretty cool lifestyle in the Philippines for about $1,000 – $1,500 per month (you can... Read more

If you’re new to making money with Google’s Adsense program then you might not know what I’m about to share with you but if you have been making money (or at least trying to) with Adsense, then you also know that finding the right keywords are very important to your overall result.
Recently Nicolas Prudhon wrote an article about evaluating the difficulty of keywords and even though this topic had nothing to do with making money on Adsense it inspired me to pick up some good old keyword research.
In the article I wrote recently about the best keywords for making money with Adsense you got to see how I would normally pick some high paying keywords that were in the “middle range” in order to avoid the fiercest competition.
However t... Read more

In the last approximately 4 weeks Courtney Tuttle has been running a test over at The Keyword Academy where he sat out to create 100 keyword targeted Hubpages in order to see what kind of income they could generate.
Personally I find that 100 Hubpages in 30 days is a pretty big chunk of work to add to whatever else you’re already doing but I assume that Court has someone else to run his daily business or had some help creating the articles. Either way the project created a lot of buzz in the MMO society and several other people tried to copy what he was doing.
After the first three weeks Court had created the 100 hubs and was already making a decent income from it compared to the average online MMO newbie. We’re talking THREE WEEKS guys... Read more

Do you ever find yourself thinking about how to do stuff, what could go wrong and whether or not the choice you have made for your online business is the right one?
If so then congratulations! You’re far from being alone. Even very success businesspeople can have hours, days or weeks where they get into this non-productive state or doubt and thinking without doing.
Don’t get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with using your mind to come up with great solutions and ideas but you will need to act for anything to ever happen.
Yesterday I bought the new ebook launched by Mike Long called Article Bully. I mainly bought the report for two reasons. The first was that I use article marketing as one of my main sources for generating traffic and g... Read more
