New Wednesday Webinar Training Series
Posted by: | CommentsHello everyone! I’m excited to announce a new Webinar Series that I’m going to have each week on Wednesday at 8:00 CDT.
I know that there seems to be so many Webinars offered with what seems to be every night so this one will be a little bit different.
This is how.
1. This will be fast paced and will be limited to only 1 hour.
2. Each week will feature a colleague that I’ve met over the last 2 years who I consider to have some rock solid value to contribute to everyone on various topics for 1/2 hour and then myself for a 1/2 hour.
3. There will be a PDF link that will contain any of the links or resources mentioned in the Webinar.
4. An email address will be provided to ask questions. This will allow more content to be provided as well as allowing me and my guests to explain things in much more detail.
So this first inaugural week we are going to have:
Danielle Zach who is going to have a presentation about Business Mindset for Success.
You can register by clicking the link:

or click the image below.
Come prepared to learn about Mindset and some Google secrets that will help you grow your business.

Using Translation Software on Your Blog

Old Ways
Every day more and more people are coming to the internet. Not only do I meet people seeking freedom, ways to replace the income from a traditional job, but there is still a HUGE wave of people internationally that are finally getting wired to the internet via phone, DSL, and cable. I’ve spent a fair amount of time internationally and have had a lot of experience where the only access I’ve had to the internet when I was visiting was through dialup speed at an internet cafe. Most people did not even have a personal computer let alone one that connected to the internet till a year ago. On subsequent visits to the internet cafes, the speeds have increased to a network that had at least 256kps. I now talk weekly to many people who now have DSL into their homes via Skype.

Using Emotion To Draw People In
Posted by: | Comments
Emotional or Rational
People whether they admit it or not are not rational beings, especially when it comes to buying things and following things of interest. They are led with emotion. I know.. I know.. you guys think you are strong and would not fall for the emotion. But you too are led by emotion. As an example, picture yourself driving down the road in your own classic midnight blue convertible, top down, fancy blue-rays on, lumbering down a remote hi-way, on a sunny day. Now most guys would think this is cool. I know I would. So let’s examine what buying decision went into purchasing that vehicle? Was it because you could get fresh air? Air conditioning works great in my estimation. Was it because it was fast? Last I looked you can’t drive faster than 65 MPH in most places. Was it because you consider the older vehicles to be more dependable? Well today’s cars are much more dependable. The real reason… It’s because it looks cool! It’s because you can use is to attract the opposite sex and maybe get lucky! It’s because you like the rush of being pushed back into your seat when you accelerate. It’s because you like the idea of having everyone envious of you. It’s because you like to have people think your rich. It’s because you want people to think that the vehicle is just simply an extension of your personality, sleek, exotic, sporty, open, attractive, and sexy. So don’t tell me you’re not emotional. These are far from rational.

Using RSS Feeds to Boost SEO
Posted by: | Comments
RSS Feeds
There are 101 uses for RSS feeds as well. I can’t necessarily give RSS feeds their due in this limited space but I can give you a background. RSS stands for Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication (it depends on who you ask). RSS is a XML format specifically designed to share content. Netscape originally developed RSS to distribute news headlines and then abandoned the concept due to the lack of popularity. In recent years RSS has become the standard for content syndication. RSS syndication has allowed for smaller content providers to gain exposure and increase their news and content distribution. The increased exposure has evened the playing field for content providers.

Are You Going Mobile ?
Posted by: | Comments
There is one thing I’m sure most Bloggers are not doing yet and that is making their Blogs readable to mobile phones, including the I-Phone. More and more people are using their phones to Twitter and read Facebook, why not make your available in a format that makes it easy to navigate? If you get out their early and the average Blog, no matter how old and established it may be doesn’t, you have the advantage.
While most phones allow you to read existing Blogs remember they now have grown larger and larger in their footprint and it will require much more bandwidth to even open them. This is because most Blogs have a slew of plugins. So what is the answer?

Multi-Purpose Your Content
Posted by: | CommentsContent Strategies
Here’s really a great way to stretch and use your content by using multiple media formats. Think of it this way. After you’ve just got done writing a post for your Blog, while everything still is in your thoughts, click on your flip video camera and click the record button. Now I’m not saying to read it verbatim, but basically paraphrase what you just wrote. It only needs to be 3-4 minutes. This will allow you to emphasize and elaborate on some things contained in the written version. It will give the exact same content some life.

Don’t Stop Believin’
Posted by: | CommentsThis has to be one of my favorites from the eighties, “Don’t Stop Believin’”, by Journey. Maybe it has something to do with me always rooting for the underdog. Maybe it has to do with the stories I hear where people are driven by their longings and passions to find a better way than their current situations find them. The lyrics always do end up with what motivates everyone, either positively or negatively, emotion. The characters in the song, you and I, are on a journey to fulfill our destines. As long as we continue to “Don’t Stop Believin’”, we can create and fulfill our destiny.
A case in point is the 5th grade choir who preform the song. They are from Staten Island New York, (PS 22 Chorus), and have achieved world wide accolades. They have been on Night Line, MTV, ABC World News, and many other shows. Hearing their worldly themes of love, cynicism, loss, faith and often betrayal sang with so much earnestness by such young children lends the lyrics an aching vulnerability that yanks at my heart strings and should brings tears to many eyes. What a great gift these children have given to the world for all of us to experience.

SEO Page and Site Optimization with WordPress – Part Three
Posted by: | Comments
Well I owe this post to those who have been following my SEO and WordPress site optimization. As stated in SEO Page Level Optimization I do not use the All-In-One SEO Pack anymore. I use the plugin called Platinum SEO Pack. It offers everything that the All-In-One does but it has even more. The neat thing about it is if you’ve already got your All-In-One configured, when installing this you will have an option to import all the All-In-One settings!

SEO Page and Site Optimization with WordPress – Part Two
Posted by: | Comments
Well I’m continuing my three Part series on Page and Site Optimization with WordPress. Today I’ll discuss a few more WordPress plugins that can help your SEO but are little known.
SEO Friendly Images
SEO Friendly Images is a WordPress plugin that will automatically update your new images with the correct ALT and TITLE attributes. If your images do not have (ALT and TITLE) already set, SEO Friendly Images will add them based on the options you set in the settings. This will also make the post W3C/xHTML valid.
ALT attribute is important part of search engine optimization. It describes your image to search engine and when a user searches for a certain image this is a key determining factor for a match.
TITLE attribute will have a lessor role but is important for visitors as this text will appear in the tooltip when mouse is moved over the image. It can actually be quite verbose if so chosen. In fact as an example, check out the image I have in the upper right hand corner of this post.
SEO Smart Links
SEO Smart Links searches for keyword phrases that match the titles of your posts and pages and these phrases are then turned into the links. You also have the option of creating links for your tags and categories. The matching is case insensitive and the original case is preserved. There are examples in the first paragraph of this post. The words Site Optimization and WordPress plugins are also links to tags of this blog.
Everything happens transparently and you can be edited in the options from the administration settings panel.
SEO Super Comments
The complet concept behind this plugin is presented in Presenting SEO Super Comments Concept which explains it in much more detail.
For each user comment that gets created a new dynamic page on the blog, holding the actual comment information will be generated. This page will not actually exist in the database, but will be created dynamically using this WordPress plugin.
This then makes the site’s comments visible to search engines. This is possible because blog comments are crawlable, indexable and rankable content! So by just implementing this plugin, your comments will get crawled and indexed.
All three of these plugins are written by Vladimir Prelovac. You can check out his site at www.PRELOVAC.com
I will finish up with the plugins I now use for SEO within the next couple of days. Till then, have a remarkable day!
