How to Transfer a Wordpress Site to a New Server and Domain There are many occasions where you may need to transfer your Wordpress site to a new server and change it's domain name. Maybe you purchased a new host or you are just consolidating servers to save some cheddar. Perhaps you royaly...

Let's not front. Those big white dry erase boards are fugly. But unfortunately, there's not much other choice for those of us in the market. I even considered getting a chalk board just because I detest a whiteboard that much. It comes with a dog turd drawn on for that added touch. But I...

50 Tidbits of Advice The following was a wad of small business counsel I offered to a group of fine gentleman elsewhere on the internets who specialize in internet marketing in general. Twas divinely orated and translated to human tongue on 11/29/2012. It concerns itself with not only...

The Danger of Data-Driven Decision-Making With the advance of computing power, there is a new game in town: Crowd-Sourcing. Why spend time, man-hours, paid labor, and server time beta testing your software when there are millions of people on the internet whose behaviors you can measure and...

The Great "Above the Fold" Algorithm Misunderstanding Many, many moons ago, in an age long-forgotten, there was this thing called "The Newspaper," which reported the current on-goings to the masses. This was particularly valuable to advertisers, who wanted their ad to display in the prime...

I was rummaging around the office and found a list someone had put together long ago. I got a huge chuckle out of this. Notice the jotted down notes on the side, telling which search engines are good for graphics or research. Notice who is NOT on there as well. Pretty fun stuff. I used...

Watch for these Article Writing Scams... Ye Ole Copy-Pasta So I've gone through a roller-coaster ride trying to find a decent article writer. I tried one who did well for a few orders, and then the quality hit the floor. Then I started writing all of my own articles, but this takes way too...

Information Addiction and the Parable of the Arrow I'm pretty well connected to the internet marketing world nowadays. I wake up and check the forums. At lunch, I take a break and check my RSS feed reader. And then I check the forums again. And throughout the entire workday I'm on Skype...

Adsense Stop Words Fiasco I noticed quite a while back that my best earning Adsense site had three pages on it that were no longer showing ads. I gave it no mind and thought that perhaps there just weren't any relevant ads at the time. It didn't occur to me at the moment that all the other...

It's "thehobbster". Get it right or pay the price. (Although I do somewhat resemble a hobbit.)

There's your problem. On-Page recommends to Google what you should rank for only if they deem your site is worthy. Worthy means it's validated by links and social signals. Sure, on a domain that already is validated with links and social signals. You're trying to drive a car that has no gas...

I've seen at least one if not three or more sites from every single baller in the game, including those in this thread. In almost every case but a few, they're as ugly as a newbie's site. It's "install Wordpress, buy content, buy links, rank, optimize for conversions, repeat." People have...

Sell well designed resume templates for Microsoft Word along with a sample filled out using the template. A resume writing service? I don't know. Seems like something only the actual person could pull off, depending on the type of resume. Otherwise they are probably chock full of generic...

I've tried my damndest to go back and find a ton of the old Geocities and Angelfire sites I built around 1998 and 1999 to no avail. I don't think they'd necessarily be ranking and making money but I wanted to repurpose them into super-aged web 2.0's to spam and rank for something crazy. Looks...

I agree it's not helpful because it really depends on what's on the site and what server the site is on. I was messing with a client today who had some idiot IT company that set up a GoDaddy shared server. It came with a pre-loaded HTML file that was nothing but <h1>Coming soon!</h1> <p>Home...

I like to answer this question and have before, because I feel like people get intimidated by .gov/edu/etc at first glance and immediately throw an idea out the window. It's not unjustified but most edu and gov pages are ranking solely on the power of the domain at large and not the page...

It's hard to say what I look for, but i can tell you what I make sure isn't there: E-Panel Sub-Dashboards or whatever. Works for non-coders but the bloat is ridiculous. Frameworks like Genesis and Thesis and child themes. Bloat, complication when customizing. Designers like Elegant Themes...

Wow, I remember reading a big post by you on Reddit. The elite I.M. universe is a small world. Thanks for sharing your experiences. It's a lot to chew on. This is proof that massive execution is everything.

I love the concept of these "Seeder Pages". It's like a social PBN where the equity isn't in link juice but in traffic, and you're warming and qualifying it as you go. It's beautiful, my niggromps.
