Is Page Rank Important?

In my last post I’ve been talking about how the nofollow attribute affects the Page Rank flow through your website and to external links. But is Page Rank really important to even pay attention to it? After all, even Google seems to be paying little to no attention to it in their advice to us. The answer, I think, is two fold. It all depends on where you stand as a webmaster.

The PageRank and Nofollow Conundrum

Illustration: PageRank Bar Under LensePeople take SEO too loosely. It is a science in one way or another, there are some rules provided by Google (and other search engines playing a catch up) and the rules are to be followed strictly in order to achieve the right results. And it’s supposed to be a given to follow them, if you want to succeed anyway.

Keyword Match Type in SEO

It’s a given to talk about keyword match types in PPC (especially Adwords), but very few people seem to talk about the meaning of keyword match types in SEO. I want to do exactly that, because it’s just as important. In PPC, manipulating the match types is an important strategy that can save your budget, perfect the CTR and quality score, and even increase the conversions (by focusing on more targeted keywords).

But what does keyword match type have to do with SEO? A random introduction to search engine optimization tells us to look up the traffic numbers in a keyword tool regardless of the match type (it’s broad by default) and use it as a guide. More attention is drawn to the competition, however, even though in SEO we don’t pay per click, we spend long hours optimizing our pages and building links. That’s an investment to be regarded as such!

The 4 Hour Work Week Gone Wrong

Why do people go online to create their own businesses? They all pursue the 4 hour work week, a term coined by Timothy Ferriss in his book of the same name. The idea of working just 4 hours a week to make a living is definitely a good one. To be able to spend all the time with your family, having fun or doing what you like while still being able to put food on the table is every man’s (and woman’s) dream.

Single Best Way to Generate Website Traffic?

How to generate website traffic? Several years ago, there were so called “traffic generators” which were supposed to bring surges of traffic to your website with a push of a button. And the way they did that was to automatically generate thousands of pages for your site which were then supposed to be indexed by search engines and result in traffic from long tail keyword searches. Apparently that worked.

But it doesn’t work now because the search engines got “smarter” and they treat duplicate content differently. But what if those thousands of pages were unique enough for not to be grouped into segments? That’s what I decided to find out.

Cheap Pay Per Click Traffic – How to Get It?

Pay Per Click traffic is one of the most effective ways to get highly targeted visitors to your website. It’s fast and there’s loads of it. The only problem is that it usually costs an arm and leg, especially in Adwords.

And yet I’m sure you’ve heard numerous times all these gurus rambling on how they can get 5-cent clicks even in the most competitive niches, as if they have some unadvertised cheap payment plan. Truth be told, there is no secret payment plan, everything comes down to keywords you bid on. There are in fact cheap keywords in any niche you can possibly think of and you can get them.

IM Cash Evolution

Almost all IM courses teach you how to do affiliate marketing – that’s the easiest way to make money online. But that’s just the first level of Internet marketing.
