Social Marketing

I think it’s interesting that so many internet marketers were once homeless - or well near it.
I know the terrible cynics among you probably don’t believe their stories.
I also know I was once homeless, once so broke we had to steal food to eat. I’m certainly not proud of that fact. I’d been [...]

John Reese released TrafficJam yesterday, the companion site to BlogRush.  You can see my BlogRush widget displayed on the right.
BlogRush takes your blog posts and displays them on other BlogRush widgets across the “blogosphere.”  TraffiJam now lists the top BlogRush posts (based on how many people click through to a post after seeing it in [...]

With Social Media Daily, and now 30 Minute Backlinks, I’m often asked if it’s OK to get links to a brand new site and/or will getting links to a new domain get it “blacklisted.”
In short, the answer is yes it OK and no it won’t get your site “banned.” Every site [...]

I like blog commenting as a link building strategy. If you can add to the conversation, it’s an easy way to get both human visitors and backlinks.
But what about “nofollow?”
Nofollow is often ignored. Last year, Ben Fisher did a case study to see if nofollow links counted - they [...]

I’m not a designer, heck, I hardly know HTML, so I’m *ALWAYS* on the lookout for great free website templates.  There are tons available for Wordpress, and even several CSS site galleries - but simple salespage / squeeze page / minisite templates are hard to come by.  Most that I find are horribly outdated and [...]

This weekend, a friend of my husband is having his yearly birthday blowout party at our house. We’ll have guests through Monday, and as such, I don’t anticipate posting. I think there will be about 10 people, in addition to me, my husband and our 2 boys.
For Saturday, my husband and I ordered [...]

So you go to the supermarket and there’s something like 12 kinds of mayonaise to choose from. Mayonaise isn’t just mayonaise anymore, eh? There’s fat free, low carb, light, weird flavors (what’s the miracle of Miracacle Whip?), organic, all natural. And each brand has several of these varieties. And yet, despite [...]

The Clickbank Gods shined on us!
They’ve approved 30 Minute Backlinks at it’s $100 purchase price!
What’s the mean for you?  50% commission (that’s $50/sale,whichever way you slice it).
—– THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW FIRST —–
1. This is a brand new product.  It’s only been released to my personal customer list (and converted at 9.7%!) - which is [...]

Read Part I here and Part II here if you need to catch up.
I was doing really well with creating backlinks from MySpace pages, and my own custom bot was in the process of being built.
My Adsense page stats were looking up, individual niche products were continuing to produce and various affiliate promotions were doing [...]

Last week Darren asked people if they swore on their blogs.   Results are in, and it looks like 40% of respondents do, at least occasionally.
I swear like a dirty Irish sailor in real life.  Of course, I do know how to behave when the occasion warrants it.  I clean up well.
Some people think all swearing [...]
