October 20, 2009 By 63 Comments
Thanks for all your replies and comments on the survey! I really appreciate it, and it looks like linking is the overwhelming winner for the moment. :) Last week, on Friday actually I got down to business, collected my thoughts and lenses and grabbed a group of lenses I really wanted to focus on. My goal is to get these 14 lenses to the first page of Google. Once you get a lot of lenses it's pretty easy to lose focus on the actions that drive you toward your goal, and much easier to just … [Read more...]
What Do I Do Today?
October 17, 2009 By 45 Comments
I remember when I first started internet marketing I would excitedly come to my desk every morning. I would check my email, and I would do a little of this, and a little of that. I would spend HOURS doing this and that, and the other thing. I eventually became pretty frustrated because I wasn't making any MONEY!! Over time I started to realize (of course this is simple trial and error) that some activities are more beneficial than others. Some activities make me money, and some just waste … [Read more...]

October 10, 2009 By 22 Comments
This is a totally different way to use article marketing. You will still be writing articles, but their purpose is different and how you use them is completely different as well. The purpose of these articles is not really to drive traffic, but it is about getting many many links point back to your site. For these articles you want to write quality content, but you want to focus on getting your keywords in the links in your resource box more than anything. The big piece of this puzzle is … [Read more...]

Do You Know the Purpose of What You’re Doing?
October 8, 2009 By 30 Comments
Why can't I just link straight to Amazon from here? It's a question I've heard over and over and over when it comes to building a blog to support your Christmas cash lenses. The answer is because that's not the purpose. Each time you open an edit page or a text editor there is a purpose behind the words and links you put down on the page. You need to determine that purpose before you start. This way you can create content and links that serve that purpose. What makes it so complicated is … [Read more...]
How to Create Backlinks so Google Will Find Your Lens
October 7, 2009 By 73 Comments
You now have your lens done (hopefully) and it's time to let the big G know it's out there. Unfortunately this is not a "build it and they will come" kind of adventure. You have to leave a little trail of breadcrumbs for Google to follow to find your lens. This is also called getting your lens "indexed". That simply means google has found your lens, they acknowledge it exists and have included it in the index of sites that are out there on the internet. What this does not mean. When your … [Read more...]

In the Squidoo Christmas Cash Blueprint I talk about setting up a blog to support your lenses. This can be a blogger blog, it can be a sel hosted wordpress blog, it can be a tumblr blog ~ it can really be pretty much anywhere. The one place it can NOT be is at wordpress.com. The terms of service at wordpress.com expressly prohibit sites that are for monetary gain or linking to other sites to support search engine ranking. (I'd personally read the TOS of any site you are planning to build a blog … [Read more...]
Let’s Get to Know Each Other!
Social media gives me the opportunity to get to know you better, as well as giving me the opportunity to share more of me than just the "internet marketing" side. I share multiple facets of me, and my life on social media, so if you choose to connect with me don't expect it to be 100% internet marketing... because it's not. :)
