Another E-Book in the Works
If you want to make money the easy way subscribe to my RSS feed, and learn how to make money from your feedreader.
Yes, that’s right. I know you may hate me for doing it but I had to.
I have been writing an eBook for awhile now, and thats why I have not been posting as regularly as I should be doing.
The eBook will be released in the coming week hopefully next Monday.
If you have not read my last eBook at making money with image hosts I put my money where my mouth was by offering full refunds and also giving the damn thing away for free. If you have not read the eBook it is available for free here, here, here and here.
If you have a blog and would like a review copy and you can post a review on your blog please get in touch via the contact form and I will make sure that you get a copy.
On the other hand if you are any good at making eBook covers or landing pages please get in touch f I like your work you can also have a free copy in exchange to carry out some work.
Bear with us people.
Regaining Your GooGle Search Ranking With Wordpress
If you are using Wordpress and you have not yet started using the optimal title plugin you really need to install it. I forgot to install it after having all the problems with the hosting and completly ignored my serps for awhile.
Luckily I started to notice that serp traffic started dropping and investigated. Turns out that I was not even ranking for “Mubin Ahmed” anymore. Kind of sucks when your domain name is “http://www.mubinahmed.com”.
I installed the optimal title plugin,waited, and prayed. Just installing the plugin was not a gurantee that my serps would be returned to me.
I have noticed since yesterday that my listings in GooGle have changed from the way they were to the way that they should be with optimal title installed.
Still waiting for my site links to come back though.
GooGle Slaps Suck
Especially when its for your own name!
I guess I know how John Chow Feels now.
For all you white hat SEO’s out there, please do not start preaching to me. I didn’t do anything wrong. I think it had to do with my server being down, and me using a new theme, but that should not have a effect on the url structure or on my serp’s.
C’mon google “Don’t be evil”
Do You Believe in the GooGle Sandbox?
After getting a site ranked on the first page of GooGle for the terms “firefox promotion” I am starting to have doubts about this theory on sandbox promotion.
I am starting to believe that the term was something invented by frustrated SEO’s to convince clients that had sepnt 1000’s that the reason that the site is not ranking for the term “home loans” is because of the ever omnious GooGle Sandbox. What they fail to mention is that some sites get indexed and ranking for top terms WITHIN hours of DOMAIN REGISTRATION.
Yes, it is harder to get a site about “credit card repayments” ranking on the first page. The reason? First there are over 1000 credit card companies that deserve to be there before your spammy site because they actually have the qualitity content that the searcher is looking for. Obviously visa or mastercard are going to rank on the top because they are an authority/trusted site. They have people linking to them on an hourly basis for no particular reason. They have people on their site staying on their site for more than the 30 secs that they would on your site.
So there you have it ladies and gentlemem. I have officialy claimed that there is no such thing as a GooGle sandbox.
Alexa redirects no longer work
Apparently redirecting using Alexa links no longer works.
I was one of the people that actually went around preaching the fact that redirecting your links using Alexa would actually help you increase your alexa rank.
First this method no longer works. Apparently if you try it now you will get a 404 error. I learned this method because of the post about making money with online image hosts part 2. There is a link in there that I specifically use that redirects to another part of the blog. I used to be one of the sheep that thought it would increase (decrease) my blogs rankings.
Geoffrey Mack, The Project Manager at Alexa has said:
The redirect doesn’t do anything to your rank. The rank is based on one thing only: logs from toolbar usage. I should know, I am the product manager at Alexa….
So yea, if you were using it go back and fix your links. If you were not than please ignore this post.
