Mybloglog community positioning tactics

2 people have left comments.

Despite the Mybloglog Boycott I still love the idea and the widgets created by mybloglog. Its a great way for bloggers to get to know each other and to promote and FIND new and interesting blogs. Being an active member at mybloglog can help drive traffic to your site over and over again. Similarly, if you view many blogs a day like I do that also happen to have the mybloglog widget on them you are opening yourself to more exposure.

Here are some tips and tricks I have used and seen people using to gain traction and community positioning on mybloglog.com: (more…)

FAT BURGER TRIPLE KING CHALLENGE

Something I use to do with my guys over at PRIMEDIA was the Fat Burger Challange. I really enjoyed doing the food challanges we use to do over their so today we started doing something new over at SEOP. We started a new tradition where we compete in food challanges and the first one up was the famous FAT BURGER TRIPLE KING CHALLANGE.The challenge is simple, basically order a triple king at any fat burger. Make sure you get the 3 patties with bacon, egg, lettuce, tomato, relish, pickles, 4 layers of cheese, mayo and mustard, onions and 2 big buns! Here is a photo of the burger.

Interview with Michael Jenson of SOLO SEO

No people have left comments.

I found an old interview I did with Michael Jenson of SOLO SEO a few months back.  It was in a pretty raw format when I got it. This interview was  taking with web hosting in mind so I posted this information over at LP as I thought it would be a good idea.

Michael Jenson has put together some really great mybloglog tools and have developed an interesting system for personal SEO enthusiasts. I strongly recomend checking out SOLO SEO and Michaels tools.

If you are interested in seeing my interview with Michael please check this post out.

Too many plugins crashed my blog

2 people have left comments.

Recently, I got a little plugin crazy. I love wordpress plugins. It makes working with wordpress so enjoyable. I have to admit that adding plugins to my blog have really affected my traffic and page views considerably.

So I had about 12 plugins installed and working perfectly and out of the blue on thursday of this week my blog was not accessable. I started freaking out and I went through all of the normal checks to make sure all of my content was backed up. It was, thankfully! It took me a while to figure out what had actually happened but I just wanted to do a quick post and let everyone know what had happened and to give a warning about installing to many plugins. Be careful and make sure you back everything up my friends!!!

BTW, sorry about the slow posting. I have taken a new position at a search optimization firm as the director of SEO and I have been vary swamped!

18 PPC secrets to help you improve your efforts and maximize your ROI

5 people have left comments.

I cannot tell you how many companies and individual’s I have seen over-paying for keyword terms, getting no conversions, low ctr and bidding their way into ad depletion. When I find companies or individuals in this situation I am honestly not shocked. It’s not easy to know how to create a succesfful PPC campaign so that is why it is important to either do your research before jumping into a PPC campaign or hire someone with experience.

Rockyfied becomes an SEO Guide on WickedFire webmaster forum

2 people have left comments.

I have graciously been invited to be an official SEO guide on Wickedfire.com. Wickedfire.com is a webmaster forum that is in my opinion one of the coolest forums online. It has an edge, you can curse and although there are moderators it is a much more relaxed atmosphere then other webmaster forums.

I meet jon over at ASW accidently as our paths crossed when he asked me for a light for his smoke. After our brief meeting I had to ask him the hard questions at the power affiliate Q & A. Jon is one of the most ballsy guys I know.

I encourage my readers to check out wickedfire.com not just because of me but because you can learn a lot from this forum and meet some real quality contacts. This forum is also one of the leading forums on PPC arbitrage.

Also the wicked fire T-shirts are pretty ballsy.
