Why blog?

October 15, 2006 | Leave a Comment

There are a number of reasons that people create blogs.

They may want to share information. They may want to rant and rave in public. They may want to help others. They may like the ease of setting up blogs instead of more traditional web sites. They may use them as commercial tools to sell products. They may use them to make money from Adsense or some other pay-per-click advertising system. And, they may use blogs as a way of driving traffic to other web sites.

That last one is the most interesting at the moments. Bloggers, people who write blogs, often link to other blogs and to web site articles as a way to share information that they have located.

What happens when they do this? Their readers often visit the site to which they linked. That site, then, has an opportunity to share its information and to utiliitize its advertising and affiliate programs to make money.

And, search engines recognize and follow the links to the referred site! Not only that, the links usually go to focused information that otherwise is hidden deeply within the site — and, now, Google, Yahoo and the other search engines recognize and assign more value to that page.

So, what happens when you blog about your own sites?

Exactly the same things!

Giving Away the Empire!

October 10, 2006 | Leave a Comment

Today was the launch of Joel Comm’s new Instant Adsense Templates VRE Empire package. http://terryscomputertips.com/IAT

VRE is short for Virtual Real Estate — a.k.a. web sites for making money on the web.

So, I went to look at it out of curiosity. I bought the earlier release of IAT and was happy, and I just knew that I didn’t need this one…

Boy, was I surprised. This guy just kept piling on the features and more features, and then started adding bonuses, too! He’s setting a new “high” in quality and content and a “low” in prices for a package like this.
http://terryscomputertips.com/IAT

150 Niche Topics — HTML templates, WordPress templates, XSitePro templates, HyperVRE templates and phpBB forum templates for them all. Adsense integrated into all of them!

Plus 50 pre-built niche web sites. Oh, yeah — and private label content, too, so you don’t have to have author bio blocks with links leading off your site!

Plus, the graphics files in JPG and Photoshop formats. Plus 400 Private Label Articles, already formatted in three formats: plain text, HTML file and HyperVRE format.

Ebooks. List building information and 10 squeeze pages! 10 private lable reports that you can use, give away or sell — with matching graphics.

Who needs web traffic? The package includes three books on how to get more traffic to your site. Not enough? How about another 2 as a bonus?

Software — the CB Text Ads Generator package so you can embed Clickbank affiliate ads in your articles with ease. And, several more packages, too.

15 Tutorial videos!

When I saw what was in the package — and what I’d get as bonuses, too — I gave in pretty quickly. This deal was too good to miss…

Couldn’t find a reason not to buy, especially at that price.

And, that brings up a very important point — this is a limited quantity offer — and the price is going up $25 per day. Look quick and get it quick. If you’re interested in a web-based income, this can be a huge opportunity for you.

And, a bunch of other bonuses, including a copy of Joel’s “What Google Never Told You About Making Money With Adsense.” I’ve bought the 1st, 2nd and 3rd editions of it — it’s been that good and improved that much with each edition. And, it’s included as a package bonus.

http://terryscomputertips.com/IAT

Enough of that — the price goes up $25 per day for the next few days.

ON THE OTHER HAND, when the limit is reached, it comes off the market.

His earlier Instant Adsense Templates package sold out in only 36 Hours!
Check it out now… I did … I thought I didn’t want it — but I did, when I saw it. The package was just too good and the price couldn’t be beat.

The Power of (Mis-)Spelling

October 9, 2006 | Leave a Comment

In our early days at school, we were taught to spell words correctly. In the good old days, we “sounded out” the syllables of writen words in order to figure out the sound of the word. Then, we studied and were quizzed on the correct spelling of the words we learned.

Now, you’re older. What happens when you misspell a word in something you write?

Your friends may roll their eyes (or may not even notice). Your business associates may roll their eyes and you slide down a notch in their esteem. Your business competitors smile with glee.

And, you may have a runaway hit in the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) world!

I found one of those little gems on one of my web pages a few months ago. My first thought, when I saw the search term come up in my web stats, was to fix it quickly.
