Everybody who works on a website, especially for affiliate marketing reasons, needs to produce lots and lots of articles. And it seems like we always want to take the easy way out.
Snap our fingers, and an article appears.
Hence, the recent proliferation of PLR membership sites and software that “changes” those PLR articles just enough to avoid the duplicate content filters.

Your website header sucks for two reasons:
1) your color choice is shit
2) you should be using a logo instead of a cheesy picture header
A clarification on number 2: you can use a cheesy picture if you’re building a spammy Adsense site that’ll never make more than $30 a month, or you have a sales letter for a product (note my cheesy picture header above; I’m selling a product).
So in this tutorial I’m going to show you how to make your website look much more professional. First, consider replacing that header with a logo on a white background.
Seriously. Reflect on it.
Do you want to become an authority site in your niche or not? If you do, go to Google and search on your niche’s main keyword. Look at all top ten sites. Note how many have 700 x 150 picture headers. Note how many have JUST a logo. I’m willing to bet that they all have just a logo.
You STILL want a picture header? Fine. I give up. At least we’ll make it look better than this Read the rest of this entry »

We’ve all heard about PageRank, of course. We all want more, more, and more of it. What Google generally thinks of your website, rated from 0 to 10.

I know, I know. Stupid buzzwords. I especially hate buzzwords in the context of corporate missions statements: “It is our business to enthusiastically administrate quality catalysts for change to allow us to efficiently network high standards in data while…”

Working hard to become an authority site can be a whole project unto itself, at times. And sometimes, you may lose interest in the site or just want to free up time to work on a project your heart is more into. The great thing about this business is that even if you pay for writers, and graphics, and domain names, and so on, you can always sell your site later for at least more than the sum of it’s parts.

Have a look at a great resource of free fonts of all stripes. Careful of the licenses, though. Read them before using the fonts indiscriminately:

So much talk about trading links, writing articles, submitting to directories, and yadda yadda yadda, it’s nice to see a “revolutionary” article describing nothing more than linkbait to get links to your site. Of course, it’s not revolutionary at all, seeing as linkbaiting is a hot topic right now, but it is in the context of a lot of SEO garbage out there. This is great.

The way Instant Article Wizard is presented on its website is probably not the best way to use it; in fact, you can get into a lot of trouble using it that way. But of course the sales letter needs to convert highly, so they highlight the lazy man’s approach since we all want content for our sites.
