Yeah I know what you mean! but what people don't or wouldn't know is the months/years of preparation and hard work it took for them to get to that level where they are even be able to capitalize on that opportunity. If someone came to me today and said "here, this is a great idea, go make...
Mini update!
Based on the advice of Carter, I've created a landing page. I used unbounce to do it. I can't really get detailed feedback here, but thought I'd still share. :) I have yet to figure out some CSS that Carter told me to implement. But I'm pretty determined to get it right. I'm also...
Puppies! lol I love puppies, what kind if I may ask?
- Completing the CC9 and becoming a better marketer.
- May go to Alaska to work for the summer. Or maybe Cali. Haven't decided yet.
- Completing the website I'm building out for my Battalion. (Informative/resource site- no monetary intent)
-...
Okay I am back! I volunteer with the military and we got called up for training on Friday and I'm just getting settled back in. :)
1) Figured out an idea for an eBook. Want to get working on that this week. My last exam is tomorrow! (YAY) so I can literally throw myself into this. I predict...
Yesss I know the social buttons are hard to let go of! I struggled internally with that for a couple minutes, but I know my man CCarter and his coding chops has got our backs. So I'm not too worried. And yes, I also see how constantly refining site speed is addictive.
Mini Update:
Pingdom Results after removing all Social Plugins:
Pretty big improvement.
Added Mailchimp to the site, but I'm not happy with it aesthetically... I'm gonna tinker with it a bit more.
Bought Fiverr Social Signals, waiting for them to come through now.
Today's my birthday! :)...
On Site- Personal Analysis
1) Setup. I'm gonna be 100% honest here... I'm a complete and total n00b to page speed optimization. I practically had to Google every other word CCarter wrote. *facepalm* I am way in over my head here. A couple things I managed to understand and feel like I could do...
Thanks for the analysis Carter. :) There's a tonne of work to be done and I can't wait to develop a real strategy and game plan with you and get right into it.
a) Quick intro about myself.
Hello Builders! I am Lyanna :smile: I'm a 19 year old college student and I'm a relatively fresh face to the IM scene, and have a tonne to learn. There isn't really much to say about myself except that I'm extremely grateful for this opportunity and I can't wait to...
Lol @Calamari I was about to say the exact same thing. The only reason you want to rank for the terms is to drive traffic and sales. I think that's the main problem with SEO these days. Everyone's so caught up with "beating" Google, and "conquering the SERPs" they've forgotten why they even...
@Paul Bryant a contextual link is one that's placed in a single blog post/ article. For example, I write an article about "Top 10 SEO blogs" and link out to the money site. A Blogroll, is pretty much a sitewide link. A simple Google search brought up this definition: "A list of other blogs that...
@Andrewkar @aussiefly Yeah and if you're going the PBN route you have to make the PBN be as high quality as possible, and niche relevant. That means basic branding signals, good quality, etc. Which takes alot of effort to do RIGHT. Then you have to make sure the sites in your PBN don't have a...

It's not particularly about local, though. Also beware, he promotes his keyword tool as the best keyword tool out there, but the Google KWP is just fine.
Good old manual competition analysis is...
Oh wow.... Now I'm rethinking this... Perhaps I should have posted here before going with them. I'll definitely report back if I experience any problems.
@stackcash wow that's pretty disheartening lol. As I said I only just switched over so I really can't comment on the technical side yet, I sort of just went with a leap of faith so hopefully they don't let me down lol. I only recommended them because the speed of support. I just opened a regular...
Hawk Host has a nice little sale going on right now. I think it goes on for five more days. 25% off total purchase. Btw I totally recommend hawk host for anyone in the market for hosting. I haven't used them long enough to know about uptime issues etc, (only just switched over from host gator)...
Sweet intro thread Benni! [Redacted]... unless you're actually Rand Fishkin. kidding! :wink: Would you be willing to do like an AMA thread or something? You obviously have a tonne of experience and seem willing to share. Anywho.. Welcome to BuSo! Although, I see that you're rather well...
