It’s a blog post written by a very successful female entrepreneur Penelope Trunk about how much Tim Ferris wasted her time and blah blah blah on her bitching Tim…
Ok…that’s not the point…
Guess how many link this single blog post got…according to just yahoo…549 backlinks. It could be a lot more because yahoo doesn’t show you(neither does google) all the backlinks.
In fact, this Tim-bitching blog post has 400+ comments since Jan 2009.
Why does this blog post get so many comments and backlinks?
A: It’s highly CONTROVERSIAL.
It’s an one sided blog post expressing the author’s opinions based on facts. It’s ethical and thoughts provoking.
So if you want to jumpstart your blog traffic and boost your pagerank. You can write a controversial blog post just like the one I showed you.
Bookmark it, tweet it, facebook it, digg it, send it to your list, post it in related forums and inform other bloggers.
The ultimate SEO is to write a lot of linkbait posts.
You can write about how much you LOVE Bin laden, or why people should stop marketing Mike Dillard’s products etc.
As you probably have already heard that google’s launched its own Goo.gl url shortener service.
But it’s not available for broad consumers to use, instead, it’s like an add-on feature for google’s other products like google toolbar and feeburner….
Why did google create such a service when there are tons of FREE url shorteners out there?…maybe our search giant just want a piece of pie and maybe potentially use it to support the new algorithm.
Here’s what google said about the goal of this service:
Stability – ensuring that the service has very good uptime
Security – protecting users from malware and phishing pages
Speed – fast resolution of short URLs
…That’s all cool and nice right?…
But I don’t think so…I believe whenever google makes a move there’s always a hidden reason behind that…like google side wiki… Everyone thinks that our google’s trying to “own” or “re-frame” other websites by literally putting tags on them.
Not just me who thinks that google’s got something they don’t want us to know. Read to what Andy Beal has to share…about the new google tool.
What if Google starts using this click-thru data as part of its algorithm?
How does this effect SEO?
What if Google insists that sites with long URLs slow down the web and insists you convert to Goo.gl? Not that far fetched!
What if it was added to the Google Toolbar because PageRank is going away–and Google needs a new reason to get you all downloading the toolbar?
What if Google starts adding AdSense to the destination URLs
But in the end I think yes I will try out this new service for sure…but with precautions in case google does something funky…
I read a post on Tim Schimidt’s blog today, and I was inspired again. So I wanted to share with you.
Are you using a Mac computer? Chances are Steve Jobs would probably ended up not making any cool computer if he didn’t ask himself this question every day?
“If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”
He knows he needed to do something when he answered “no” for too many days…and that’s powerful guys…
This is like the second part of the previous post i wrote…. do something about it.
In fact, far too many people working nights out day in and day out without thinking ” is this something I love to do?” It comes down to another quote we’ve heard repeatedly, “do what you love, the money will follow.”
Its true.
What do you love to do?
What would you want people to remember you as?
What’s your legacy gonna be like if you were to die tomorrow?
What Do You Want to Be Known For?
When I was little, I told myself, I wanna be a rich businessman or an actor. And yeah I’m doing what I love, running a business from home.
The money will follow.
Don’t slave your life away for something you don’t like to do….quit your dead end job that you hate NOW.
Here’s the Steve Jobs’ commencement speech that had encourages and influenced millions of people. and this video is only freaking 15 minutes. Great speech Steve.
I don’t know how i came across this video, but this guy inspired me. He saw a problem, took actions and do something about it right away. He didn’t sit there and wait for somebody else to do something about it.
Sometimes laws and cops are useless.
And I think displaying hateful and racist signs [...]
Hi guys and girls,
If you have heard me speak English, you will instantly know that it’s my second language. I’m not ashamed or anything, but it’s surely one of my disadvantages.
Well, you know, that barrier is supposed to create some inner fear on the prospecting matter, but fortunately I’m an extrovert who just doesn’t talk [...]
Eric… what the hell is VRE?
VRE= Virtual Real Estate=Websites
In case you don’t know what flipping means: flipping is a term used primarily in the United States to describe practice of buying an asset and quickly reselling (or “flipping”) it for profit (Wikipedia).
