I have noticed recently more visit from the directories than I have since the Google Panda event. Are EZA and the others making a comeback or is more searches in my niche that is responsible? The other SEs are showing up too so my deduction would be it is more searches. But the directories are still in play for me so that it encouraging for this article marketer.  Are you seeing what I'm seeing?  

I just love WordPress. The more I use it the more I like it. Seems you can find a theme to suit whatever niche you need. There are plug-ins that do nearly everything a guy might want for his website. What won't this platform do?  I still use Site Rubix to maintain my very first site. It's just too large to move and too risky as well. I thought it was cool then.  But there is so much more I can with WordPress than Site Rubix. So if you are wondering which tool you should use, WordPress

The Holy Grail is one of those things that we all know existed at one point, but has never been found. Unless it exist in someone's secret private collection it may never be found. Mystery has surrounded it for centuries now. What if it still exist? Could it still be found? Think of the wealth it would bring the finder? For those of us in the IM field traffic is our version of the Holy Grail. We work hard to find that mysterious thing called "traffic". We write articles and build bac

Okay, so here's the thing. I work a regular job like most of us. I am very fortunate in that unlike many here I am not doing this to "fire my boss". I don't really thrive on negative emotions anyway. I like the work, the company and the associates. The money is more than enough for my lifestyle and the work environment is about as good as it gets. I work from home when not traveling and am not bound by a particular 8-5 work day. I already have a lot of the freedom that we all talk ab

How to Conquer Golf's Trouble Shots     Hey friends, I have just launched my first ebook!  This thing has been in the works for such a long time. It is a thrill to have it "out there" now.  The idea of having my own products has always appealed to me. Selling other people's stuff as an affiliate is great but producing and publishing your own product is even greater. Now I await the public's response. Will it be a huge success? Who knows? It is my first, I can lea

Here is a question that goes through my head when I have something to say.  Which would be the better way to post it: blog or forum? I have no guidelines as to which I should use for what is on my mind at any given time. Questions might be better handled in the forum than here on blog. But that is not always the case. How do you decide?

There it is a super milestone for me. I now have exceeded 50,000 views at EZA!!! I have been watching patiently for a while now and this morning there it was.  While I am happy the views are there what is more important are the click-thrus. An overall 13.6% is not bad but not that great either. Thanks for sharing my excitement

I have a site that is now 2 years old built with Site Rubix. I have been wondering for awhile if it would rank better if I moved it to a WordPress platform. The reason is I have apparently done a poor job of SEO when I built it's nearly 80 pages. Missing header and title tags for example. Want your thoughts on the idea and any input on the site.Would the site rank better in WordPress? If so, what would be the best way to accomplish that task?  http://www.DooleyDuffer.com

Hey guys check this out.  Today out the blue I receive a phone call from a company wanting to offer me their services for one my existing websites. The told me they could build me a optimized site, get me indexed in all the search engines, submit to all the directories, provide me the tools to edit/update the content all for just $49/mth. When I told him I built the site myself, had the ability to edit/update at will, was already indexed in all the search engines and needed him to explain w

Today is November 1st, my 36th wedding anniversary. That is what I thought about first this morning. That's a long time to "be" anything! Can you imagine I was able to convince any woman to hang around that long? Bless her. Another thing I thought about the am is that I had my first $100 day on Thursday. After 20 months or so I finally got my first check from Google Adsense. If you can tell me how to make that program work better/faster for me please let me know. That is a miserably lo
