The issue of duplicate content is a rather contentious one in the world of Search-Engine Optimization. There were for many years – and perhaps still to this day – myths floating round about duplicate content penalties.
Essentially, folks were told that if they produced duplicate content then they would be punished, and many thought that this meant you could… Read the rest of this entry »
I hear a lot of webmasters complain day in and day out about all the changes that Google constantly makes to its algorithm and how they affect our search engine placement.
Let me break it to you: it’s not all about what Google has done and will do to update its algorithm.
It’s about what you SHOULD BE doing.
In my last post on Entrepreneurs-Journey.com, we talked about the big fat truth – without unique, fresh, and lengthy content your blog search engine rankings are as good as dead.
Check out the previous post here:
This time I will take it a step further… Read the rest of this entry »
My name is Ana Hoffman, and if I learned anything after many years of building an online empire, it’s this: the online business industry is a scary place. A place where many a mighty business owner has fallen.
Including me.
That’s right, I’ve had some online business flops in the past, until one day I realized that my business was… Read the rest of this entry »
My fourth article on EJ, and the love I have been receiving from this community is amazing. I feel really welcomed, so thanks to you all. I wish I could meet you in person and thank you personally. I hope one day I will.
Enough of the pep talk Aziz, time to get down to the meat!
Today I have… Read the rest of this entry »
Traffic is, and will always be, a hot topic in internet marketing.
You can have an awesome website that solves the world’s problems, has the solutions to world hunger, in addition to helping men understand women fully (can you imagine that?), but if you don’t have traffic, I would venture to say that your website means NOTHING.
Ever since I started blogging, I intentionally stayed away from keyword research. It just seemed like one of those things that could take up too much of my time. I understood the principles of keyword research but felt that in order to do it effectively, I had a lot of work to do. I opted to take the “lazy” way… Read the rest of this entry »
It was early 2006. I had been blogging for over a year and felt I had achieved something.
My blog had recently surpassed 1,000 RSS subscribers (what is RSS), making it at the time the most popular website I had ever built. The income was solid – up to $2,000 a month at best – and it was… Read the rest of this entry »
Apologies if you got this notice from my newsletter yesterday around 2PM. It appears Andy and Brad had some technology issues so people haven’t been able to take advantage of this one until today. The links in this post go to an active page where you can order.
You can skip the background story and go straight to the good… Read the rest of this entry »
I’ll just slip this in before I head off and work on my launch video since EVERYONE is going nuts on Twitter about it (Ed Dale is of course the craziest).
Google’s keyword tool just become a goldmine for accurate keyword data. Go have a play with it now and you will see what I mean -
Three quick updates for you today, starting with a way cool video and tool from StomperNet’s latest Going Natural 3.0 launch series of videos (if you haven’t opted in to get these free videos, go do it now – you’re missing out!).
Today (Friday USA time) StomperNet are making available a… Read the rest of this entry »
A quick short post today as I’m busy getting ready with my final preparations to head for Canada (more on this soon).
If you are into search engine optimization you know the importance of back links. In a newsletter I sent out to my email subscribers back in February (you have to be on my blog tips newsletter)… Read the rest of this entry »
There’s something I’ve come to realize about most of my fellow bloggers – you guys and girls are not great at marketing.
Don’t take offense, marketing is not something that comes naturally and most people enter the blogging world as writers or hobbyists, not business people.
Some look at marketing as advertising and their current perception of advertising is akin… Read the rest of this entry »
You may have noticed this blog is back to a PageRank 6. Back in October 2007 my site was one of the blogs hit with a PageRank penalty because I had paid links. I dropped from a 6 to a 5 and then later when the big sweep happened, down to a 3.
This article sums up my speculation during… Read the rest of this entry »
Update: Since they added a new video to this series, you have to click the “view playlist” button in the video player and choose the video with Andy Edmonds presenting StomperNet Scrutinizer to get the video I am referring to.

Andy Jenkins and his team at StomperNet are at it again, releasing more great free videos, this time… Read the rest of this entry »
I’m not entirely sure I want to write this article. I think one of the best ways to reduce the impact of Google’s PageRank is to talk less about it. If you ignore something it loses all power.
However, people still seem to care about PageRank. Webmasters care, bloggers care, search engine optimizers care. Even bloggers who are writing… Read the rest of this entry »
People who run e-commerce sites – sites that are focused on making sales of a product – have a history of great difficulty when it comes to search engine optimization. We are told to build links to improve search engine rankings, yet why would a person link to a site that is essentially a glorified shopping cart?
One of the… Read the rest of this entry »
I just can’t seem to get it right about this whole PageRank update thing. First I thought PageRank was updating, then I noticed it was just some sites dropping in PR, then I thought it was updating again when this blog dropped from a 6 to a 5, but now it seems it could have just been a… Read the rest of this entry »
