I have to come back the research phase AGAIN.  I’ve had dozens and dozens of questions and they all come down to the same dang thing:  “what do I do?” Well, I can’t tell you that – but some simple research can. That’s where tools such as WORDZE comes in. Here is what I recommend [...]

Squidoo should absolutely be part of your overall link building campaigns. Since they take all of 5 or 15 minutes to set up and you can put links in several places it’s an easy place to get some attention. It’s also coming off a PR 8 site (squidoo.com) so it’s very easy to rank for [...]

Today I’m going to talk about one of the newer kids on the block and I think it’s going to be bigger than Squidoo eventually.  It’s called Kaboodle – and it’s a social web 2.0 site that is totally geared up for women. In fact my Wife signed up for me today: http://www.kaboodle.com/fyalways I’m not [...]

O.K. – It’s time to start building your own little “link love” farms.  Some people call them blog farms, but I don’t.  I call EVERYWHERE I can get easy links my little “link harem” – or “sources of Link Love. I have a few places I use pretty heavily and they aren’t a big secret.  [...]

Time to get cranking today…. I still have hosting to deal with but since I’m not ready to build any new sites yet i’m still holding off.  I know if I go back to day 1 I’ll forget about these sites. Today I: Added all my subdomains to the command center. Installed the “day 4″ [...]

As promised I’m going to be making a little daily log about what I’ve done each day.  At the time of me writing this I’ve finished the Day 5 Tutorial for you guys/gals and I’ve run into my first problems. Just because I’ve done this before doesn’t mean that things don’t go wrong.  A couple [...]

Lot’s of new webmasters go freakin nuts digging the heck out of their sites and trying to get listed on the front page of digg. Wake up call: Digg traffic doesn’t = $$. However, Digg traffic does often result in links back to your site, or to your digg profile that = spiders and visitors [...]

On day 4 we should have our hosting all situated along with a few domain names. I also gave you a script in day 4 that let’s you “Geo-target” all the states and cities in the U.S. It’s a great script but it would be A LOT of work to turn it into a totally [...]

I turned comments on today – they had been off. I was really puzzled since we had hundreds of new visitors each day and ZERO comments other than mine. So when I went to look into it there was no big surprise that my dumb ass had given you no way to do it. Also [...]
