I underestimated Squidoo

For some time now I have only dabbled in Squidoo once in a while. Really nothing at all.
Then I went over and began doing some studying for myself and soon realized these people who are Squidoo'ing are getting on the top of the google search engine left and right.

I took them for the test and I right at this moment have a lens ranked at
Ranked #157 in business #3298 overall

So guess what, I think it is time to start making some squidoo lenses.

On a sad note I was google slapped for too much bookmarking for the lens, I was on top till they slapped me... that hurt... It doesn't take long to get out of a slap just be consistent and keep adding to your lens, as well as keep bookmarking every day but only a couple bookmarks a day.

So in order to avoid the dreaded slap I would personally start my next squidoo out with a few major popular social bookmarking sites, and slowly as the month goes on add 2 a day and add some new information to your lens as well.

Come check out my lens and watch how I progress... also if you add me as a friend and star me, I come and do the same for you, hows that for some paying it forward :)

See you there.

I'm now a "dofollow" blog :)

Yesterday I made my blog a dofollow blog, I just wanted to share this with all of my comment posters.
I didn't even realize I was a no follow until I looked at my HTML. Well I fixed that right away I changed the "nofollow" to "follow on my blog.

So no spamming because it's a dofollow please. Leave posts that pertain to the subject at hand. Thank you and talk to you soon.

Why not make a podcast for your blog

Benefits of making a podcast for your blog:

1. You can have your daily listeners listen to you while they are surfing around the internet. Keeping your window open while they go about listening to you.

2. I just thought about this - If you have a secret password that pops up in the podcast telling the reader they have a day to email you to collect their prize. This can be used for your comment areas in your blog. Pick a random comment poster and announce them in your podcast, if they answer they win... YAY, okay that was just off the top of my head.

3. I personally will be doing a few here and there and while people are doing their "speedy drops" with Entrecard from my site they can listen to me... I love this idea.

4. Once people start to listen to you, they begin to form a relationship with you, they really have that feeling there is now a real person at the end of this blog.


This is the same type of idea as video blogging but, if your like me and camera shy then this will help you out greatly.

Now for the set-up
=============

Audacity is a free service so go on over and download it set it up and start recording your voice... very easy to edit as well.

TalkShoe This place you can host your podcasts and put them into a widget to add to your blog.
Odeo Same as above, right now they are upgrading their site so I don't know if everything id down right now, I only know my favorite widget from them is no longer around... I hope they get it back soon.

There are so many things you can do with podcasts I will touch more on this subject in the near future.

So get recording :)

Getting to the front page of Google using good keywords today

I am a happy camper today

It was the big launch for Forex Brotherhood today and I should have started earlier, but I only had 24 hours to get my site up and launched for the big show, I am their affiliate and dragged my feet to the last day before I started stirring up a website or should I say Squidoo lens.

So what am I to do? I have barely any time to get the lens up and right at that moment I typed in forex brotherhood and seen about 84k worth of results.... So I decided this is the first day I am going to use my husbands technique to get onto the front page within hours.... Did it work?

YES!

I did the work and woke up this morning to find

My site was on the front page of google for all of them, he's a genius!
I would like to tell you right now, he doesn't intent to let all of his information out right now, he will be creating his ranking ebook in a while, I'm not sure how much longer, when it comes time I will show you where it is.

But little ol' me getting on the front of google search engine for the first time in my life for 3 keyword. I am so excited right now I can't even tell you.

So the launch was today and I ended up on the front page today, can it get any better?

I now have a totally different way of being an affiliate marketer.

Bum Marketing

If your a bum marketer like me, I hope your taking advantage of Squidoo and Hub Pages. People don't take advantage of the power that is Squidoo. First of all they allow affiliate links and just imagine for a moment that a site actually allows this. You can't even put up affiliate links in Ezine, this is exciting stuff.

Putting up a Squidoo lens is so easy as well. You can literally put up about 10-20 lenses up in a weekend and do it all for free. Now Hub Pages are a little different but the same with each allowing affiliate links. On your hub pages you are only allowed about 3 links if you go over they will delete your hub so stick with about 2 links and you should be fine.

The best cool tip you need to know.
Always put your affiliate link on the very very top of your lens and hub. Remember you don't want people hanging around the pages and giving them an even greater amount of time to hit those awful google links thrown throughout these pages.
In and out, let them get to your link ASAP. Don't allow the google links on your pages to be their next hit or you lose a potential sale.

I hope this helps all you bums out there, most of you already know this, but it's always a good day for a refresher.
