It’s been a long time since I’ve blogged on this blog but not a long time since I’ve blogged. If I was writing SEO content for the keyword blogging I’d be off to a good start, but that’s not the case.

I’ve placed a blog on the main page of this site and have been blogging about website designs and what inspires me about web designs. So much so that I decided to take the site lick worthy and start posting inspiring web designs on that site.

But that got to me to thinking about this blog and how it’s been neglected so I’m here to try and get this blog going again as well.

Guess I’ve got a lot of thinking to do if I’m going to start posting on this many blogs.

I’m about 6 months away from being an affiliate in the silicone wristband business for a year. We’ve made some good money in the silicone wristband business and I’ve really learned a lot. Things like, marketing an affiliate site is a lot harder than marketing a site for your own business.

One of the things I’m very proud of is the design we’ve been using. I’d be willing to say I’ve got the best looking silicone wristband website in the business. Our call to action is in your face yet so tasteful that it doesn’t bother you.

The site is optimized for the search engines yet looking at the site you’d never guess. It appears to be designed with only the user in mind.

I don’t know of any other site online that has 5 call to actions above the fold yet blends in so nicely with the design that they don’t stand out. I believe a call to action should be nothing more than an easy to find link when the site visitor is ready to make a purchase. We’ve just started playing with both the site and the affiliate marketing yet with the little time we’ve been able to put into the site it’s making us an extra $5,000.00 or more per month.

I’m proud of my little affiliate marketing business and hope to be able to put a little more time and effort into it this coming year.

Mean Cash Internet Marketing

When someone is selling SEO as a service and targets a keyword like Mean Cash Internet Marketing I have to wonder why. About the only reason I can think of is for showing a client how well they rank for a particular keyword.

Mean Cash Internet Marketing is not a competitive keyword and it should be fairly easy to rank for.

The amount of traffic it will bring in is nothing. That means that targeting the keyword and trying to rank for it is a waste of time, even more so when you target it on the home page of your site.
Normally the home page is the most powerful page on your site and the title tag is the most powerful tag on the page. When a so called SEO expert uses that real estate to target a keyword like mean cash internet marketing it either means they have no idea what they are doing or that they want to show how good they are by showing a ranking. Since they are unable to rank for a competitive keyword they pick one that has nothing to do with anything and has no competition.

Someone looking for a company to do SEO on their site should be very careful of people using this tactic. It’s nothing more than a con because anyone can rank for mean cash internet marketing. I wouldn’t be surprised if this blog, which has almost never been used is able to rank for mean cash internet marketing.

I’ve been back and forth as to rather I wanted to do it or not but have finally decided to go for it. We’ve been making some pretty good money with affiliate marketing this year and I’ve been asked by many to teach them and by others to do it for them.

So we launched our search engine optimization site, and it is like nothing you’ve seen before.
I’m writing the content for the site now.

It’s a step by step guide on how to make money online. The idea is that you can either use the guide and do it yourself or pay us to do it for you. It’s going to have a lot of the techniques that allowed us to start making money the second we launched a site as well as techniques that allowed us to make money without ever launching a site.

We’ll also be discussing some link building techniques that most people do not like to talk about. It should make for an interesting read.

Everyone wants to be extraordinary and do extraordinary things.

However, the fear of failure, ridicule, risk and the fear that everyone will see were not perfect, causes us to hold back on the things we truly want to do.

I’m not perfect, English is not my first language, I’m a high school dropout and I learn daily from my mistakes because I make them by the minute. And before the end of the day I’ll regret making this post at least a 100 times or more however, I want let fear get the best of me. Nor will I take the time to try and be perfect, I don’t want to be perfect, I just want to be me.

I’m sick and tired of reading the so called gurus talking about how they make a thousand bucks a day and yes, I buy their products in hopes of learning one thing that will help me get to the point that I know there not at.

And I’m even more tired of reading post from SEO’s that claim to be white hat and points to anyone that has a different approach and calls them black hat.

I read a post http://lateralaction.com/articles/black-and-white-thinking/ that shows two images both the same color however, one looks black and the other looks white because of the items around the images.

I believe the job of the SEO’s, marketers, and website owners is to give the end user the site they’re looking for.

Anything else is black hat.

And like those images, white hats have shades of black and black hats have shades of white and at the end of the day were all the same color. But like the images we hide our colors with the things around us.

I saw a graph http://www.indeed.com/salary/SEO.html the other day that showed how much in-house SEO’s make. It’s really sad and rather disappointing to see such low levels of pay for someone that should be making the business more money but I guess you get paid what the owner of the company feels you’re worth.

I own a web design business and do pretty good online however; I’ve got lots of repeat clients that allow me to sit back without having to chase down new clients. But I wouldn’t mind changing that in the coming year. I’ve also played a little with affiliate marketing in the past year and have rather enjoyed it as well.

I’ve been making my total living online for the last 5 years. But I have to wonder if I was hired as an in-house SEO (not that I have any desire to do so) could I show I deserve more than what others are making.

I personally believe that steady jobs are something kids will learn about in history class.
Security lies in taking responsibility for improving our skills, our reputation, and creating opportunities were others see nothing.

The best way to do this is by working with others. Can we take a site from zero to a profit of over $30,000.00 per month?

Can we do what the so called gurus only talk about?

If I didn’t feel like we could I wouldn’t be making this post.

With Christmas coming up and the end of the year it’s a tough time to try and test something like this. However I’m thinking about doing just that.
