Siloing

Just re-configured the ezeeincome website to introduce website silos. This is a feature which splits up the website into sections - silos - each having its own menu system. Apparently search engines love it, and it's easily done using Xsitepro2 . I also posted an article on affiliate marketing tips for beginners - useful stuff. Check it out at ezeeincome.co.uk . By the way, I'm nothing to do with that .com site of a similar name which seems to attract negative comments on complaints boards.

Optimizing Wordpress SEO

There are a number of ways of optimizing Wordpress for SEO. I use the all-in-one SEO plugin, but there are other things you can easily do.

I've posted an article on my ezeeincome site about this www.ezeeincome.co.uk

It's worth a read...

Get Rich Quick Systems and Joint Ventures

If you are interested in making money easily and/or quickly (and most people are), then you will probably have signed up onto a few mailing lists, maybe even mine. What happens? You get tons of mails telling you to buy this or that and learn how to make money quickly. Of course, you don't get mails like that from me!

So, it seems to me that one of the most active ways to make money (other than through porn or gambling sites), is to sell 'money making systems'. I find that quite sad. I had a mailing this week about making money on EBay. The guy who sent the mail is apparently a very successful internet marketer, selling his own money-making system (and actually offering to sell his business too - but I think he's just selling footprints). But now, he's selling someone else's eBay system. Make £5,000-£12,000 a week he says, plenty of room in the ebay Market etc. I don't know about you, but if I was making £5,000 a week through internet marketing, then selling maybe 50 money-making DVD sets at £500 a pop would be nice, but hardly central to my plans.

I think that what he has done is find a very successful eBay operator, and set up a joint venture offering to produce a 'system' package around that person, then sell it. So, there's a money making idea for you!

So, in a nutshell, HIS system (or at least one part of it) is to 'productise' the systems that other entrepreneurs use. Find a few and do a couple of productions a year and that's ok money.

It seems to me that these waves come along and people try to sell you the very latest money making scheme. I guess it works, but I find it unattractive! It reminds me of that sci-fi story  where the world is taken over by machines whose sole purpose is to build more like themselves!

The final point is that when people start selling (or 'footprinting') their business, then I suspect that it has already peaked. I tried one earlier this year - not a lot of cost - but tremendously educational and got me into the world of Wordpress blogs. Some good SEO education too, but the commercial results have been way below expectation - but I'm not giving up! Perseverance is important.

Have you set your plan for the next 6 months? I'm looking at a complex technical web/blog development, probably using affiliate products, plus ongoing development of exisiting sites. I shall not be buying anymore blog templates though!

What Google Doesn't Tell You About Keywords...

It's been a while since my last email, but after vacation I was clearing out my inbox and came across this bit of useful info.

Unfortunately the offer has expired, but the video is still very educational.

You can watch it at http://www.keywordsnatcher.com

As in most cases, I have no commercial relationship with these people, and I get no commission - I believe that what goes around comes around, and I hope you profit from this.

Keep learning, building and profiting!
