•Adsense And Autoblogger Pro. Low Maintenance PPC Income?
Adsense is hot, no doubt about it. So hot in fact that many people are jumping on the bandwagon with the hopes of getting rich without any clue to what they are getting into. Take a quick second and do a search on EBAY for Adsense sites and you’ll see what I mean. The titles of most of these auctions are absolutely ridiculous…. “Make ten thousand dollars a month if you buy a site from me!!!” The list of these cookie cutter Adsense sites goes on and on and on. But can you really make any money...
•Autoblogger Pro, Content Theft Or Innovation?
First of all, there may be some of you that have never even heard of Autoblogger Pro. So let’s examine this new script. Autoblogger Pro is really a very simple concept. It integrates itself into a Wordpress blog and then uses RSS feeds from news sources and blogs to populate the blog with relevant content. For example, if you want to build a blog that focuses on ‘Mortgages’ then you would simply locate several blog or news feeds that focus on mortgages and then load them into the admin area of...
•Basics of a New Business Blog
So you've decided to put up a business blog. Each company website has a specific reason for putting up a blog and it's important that you focus on that reason from the very beginning.
Some companies will put up a new blog on their corporate domain as an addition of content to the site. Some will do the same because they already have some good search engine results, but want to expand their search traffic with some long tail key phrases by adding more extensive content via the blog.
Then there...
•Blog Comments Equal Great Blogger Content - Building Business Blogs Into Communities
“Yeah, our company has a blog…”
Sound familiar? Lot’s of companies have blogs, but most of the staff and management have no idea what that blog is about. If you have employees, even if they aren’t responsible for your blog, they could be a super valuable addition to your blog and it’s overall performance.

•Blog Flipping: 10 Important Factors When Selling Your Weblog Or Website
The market for blogs has exploded. Many companies do not want to invest the time in developing a blog in their respective niche, which has given rise to a whole new cottage industry, blog flipping.
Blog flipping is done in a few different ways. Some flippers buy an existing blog that has potential, but is not currently producing. They take that blog and build the traffic and sales up to a level productive enough to reap a profit from their investment, and then sell it.
Or, more common in...
•Blogging, Link Spamming, And White Hat SEO
If you are the one that maintains the company blog, you know that your comments get jammed with cheap spam. Which is not a big deal if you use Akismet. But still, it is a little irritating to see all the auto generated comments in your spam filters when you log in.
What’s worse is that I actually stop and check out a few of these links from time to time. Because they are not all porn and pharmacy sites. No sir, many of them are small businesses trying to promote their website. Mortgage...

•Business Blogs, Should Your Company Sell Advertising On The Blog Pages?
Today one of my clients asked me the million dollar question about whether or not he should sell advertising on his company blog.
My answer, every time a client asks me this, is…
Hmmm.
The reason I always stop to think about my answer to the blog advertisement question is that it’s different for each client, different for each blog. Because each blog has different goals and different reasons for their existence.
And each client is different. Knowing this particular client is a big fan of...

•Made For Adsense Websites, The Controversy
If you cruise any of the major webmaster forums these days you’ll likely see the term MFA - meaning ‘Made For Adsense websites’. Now the opinions on these types of sites vary greatly depending on the forum and also depending on the author of the post. I’ve seen posts of praise, thanking Adsense for creating a awesome avenue for online income. But I’ve also seen posts trashing anyone that builds a site for the purpose of having a place to put their Adsense code. I’ve even seen posts giving...
•Made For Adsense, PPC Business Model - Still A Viable Plan?
There are currently many discussions in the webmaster forums on contextual advertising programs and the changes they are going through. Which program currently has the most ‘publisher friendly’ terms of service? Which company values it’s publisher’s more? Which will pay me more? Which will be better in the long term…
And the most common, simple question: “Which one is best”?
Is there a solid answer to this question? Here are some of my thoughts on the subject.

•Santa Claus, The Tooth Fairy and Mesothelioma? Adsense myths discussed
Everywhere I turn these days I’m seeing ads for websites being sold proclaiming that they’ve optimized that particular site for an outrageously priced keyword, such as Mesothelioma (a cancer of the lungs caused by asbestos). In fact, I’ll bet that if you did a search at this very moment on EBAY, you would find at least one auction for such a website, probably claiming that you’ll make thousands of dollars a month with it if purchased. But don’t send them that Paypal payment just yet, you...
•SENuke Review, Black Or White Hat SEO?
A couple of days ago I received an email, from a mailing list that I am subscribed to I might add, that was touting the wonders of a new piece of software called SE Nuke.
(No, I am not an affiliate, but it is only fair to add a link to their website when doing a review. I saw a few other reviews that were not linking to the SE Nuke website, which I think is very unfair.)
So just what is SE Nuke?
According to the SE Nuke site, it's "the most powerful search engine optimization software ever...
•Slow Imposters? Preposterous!
Or is it?
The slow movement overall is spreading like wildfire. Television shows, major motion pictures, and of course many travel agencies are jumping on the slow travel bandwagon like passengers from a sinking ship leaping for lifeboats.
Because Slow is hot. Period.
So how can you determine a solid slow plan or destination for your slow travel? A quick Google search brings up some decent results. But overall it leaves you lacking, because many of the top listings are simply doorways to...
•So You Want to Build an Affiliate Website?
Our specialty for years has been constructing and developing affiliate websites for our clients. We also rank well for our sites centered around these terms, so we get quite a few new inquiries about developing affiliate sites.
Many times though I get calls from people that want to build something, but really have no idea what it is. In essence, they want me to tell them what they should build. One question I get often is, ‘What’s hot right now?’
To be brutally honest with you folks, this is...
•Texas SEO Search Engines Crawl Web Pages, Not Websites. Get The Best Ranking For Your Site
How well organized is your company site or blog? Were you told when it was designed that your website was optimized for good search engine performance?
But was it really?
Remember this: Search engines crawl and index web pages. Not websites.
Now this is where it might get confusing to the non SEO (search engine optimization) oriented person. You see, your website is only a bunch of pages to the engines. Each one unique in and of itself, based on the content it offers to your users and their...
•Texas SEO, Small Steps in Web Page Optimization For Good Search Engine Ranking Results
So your website has a page that is doing well, but not sitting at the number one spot. Maybe you’re sitting on page two for a term that you’re working on.
Page two is good. Page one is better, obviously. But making the move from page two to page one can be tough, and a bit risky if you don’t know how to do it. Many webmasters and site managers see the page two listings and instantly start making a bunch of ‘optimization’ changes to get that page hopping up to the front. But what they get, more...
•The Business Of Slow Travel
Slow down for your business travel?? Is there really such a thing as Slow Travel for business? Or are business people being targeted with make-believe "Slow Travel" business trip scenarios?
Now that is a serious question.
Is there a straight answer? Probably not. Simply because the answer is going to be a little of both. Yes and no.
Unfortunately we do live in a world where not all of the people possess hearts full of joy and compassion for their fellow man. We do live in the real world,...

Anywhere you turn today you’ll find websites shouting at you about the millions you can make from Google’s Adsense, Yahoo Publisher Network, or some other PPC program.
