Thanks for the tips, I’m always interested in what other peoples impressions are regarding google adwords. There seems to always be more you can learn about adwords!

You are “RIGHT ON” on the safety of hosting your own…I first started with a free wordpress blog (on wordpress dot com) and invested over 30 days of daily blog posts…to find one morning YICHS - wordpress took the site down…so NEVER again, I got my own domain and loaded up wordpress myself so that won’t happen again!

I have used Blogger on a number of my blogs, based upon its simplicity to set it up and get going.

I started a new blog recently and Blogger was my first choice yet again, but this time I realised that it hust didn’t have the muscle and flexibility that I needed.

I installed WordPress and migrated my Blogger all in 10 minutes - added my adsense in another 10.

I was worried about the learning curve, but needn’t have.

WordPress all the way for me now.

Thanks for that info, Madison. But that sort of seems to miss my point. I just went back to the Marshall News Messenger site — and I still find absolutely no reference to where Marshall is. Would it be so difficult for the News Messenger to put “Marshall, Texas” somewhere in the header or the footer?

The Marshall News Messenger is published in Marshall, Texas, and the Civic Center is located on U S Highway 59 S.(Also known as East End Boulevard), It is just north of the Interstate 20 junction, if you ever notice any other events.

I’m using Google Adwords for a long time and I was fascinated how you dish out these ideas. Especially tip 3 and 5, cause most adword advertisers tend to leave everything behind and not checking which adwords works and which doesn’t.

I think as we go forward many web designers can provide added value to their services by making customers aware of the impact of some designs.

The fact is, there is a balance to be had between useability, design and SEO that benefits all.

Sites can still look good and be well optimised.

Your informations provided is really very helpful. Reading your article, I’m also thinking to shifting from this wordpress.com to my own hosted site and using wordpress.org!

However, since it will cost an extra money, I’ll be doing it only at the end of this month. Anyway, thanks for this great information!

Great insight! I completely agree with you. I’ve also hosted and installed wordpress in my own site, and the idea is far more better than using blogspot or other free platforms.

Comment on No NoFollow, NoSnitching by Ryan mayberry

I think googles nofollow tag is ruining the Internet for
bloggers. Now every link on every site has a nofollow tag if it is external. When people link to my posts as a reference they use nofollow which basically gives me no credit for the post that the blogged about and referenced.

this thing rocks, best piece of link bait I’ve seen in a while - I’ll be throwing a link at it from my affiliate marketing blog as well

the real money at ebay is made from getting signups, as they pay $25 a pop for that - I like to market items to people that I think might not already have ebay accounts

Another “trick” a professional SEO spilled at a conference is to point some links to your optimized landing pages with the keywords you are targeting in Adwords, also in the anchor text of those links. Their test results show lower click costs and better ad position over the landing pages with no inbound links at all.

Personally, I have better quality score on pages of my website that have good inbound link quantity and quality which I use as landing pages for Adwords traffic.

I played a little with the Ebay affiliate program when they were with CJ and made a few bucks. Since then I have been focusing on Clickbank. I might have to give the new system a try, with your report tracker, of course.

I agree, many clients looking to have a website developed may not be computer savvy, they expect the web developer to design and develop a site which not only looks good but can be indexed and ranked with ease by the search engines. We have had to advice several clients to have their websites completely redone due to development in flash. I agree flash looks great but is as good as useless for search engine indexing we are qualified seo consultants and run into this problem from a large proportion of new clients.

I agree. The biggest reasons that’s what we recommend are link juice and flexibility. You’re just shooting yourself in the foot by writing on another site and trying to transfer some of that notoriety and traffic through links. Save lots of steps and put a blog on your existing site!
