Instead of waiting, I installed the latest version of wordpress, then rolled it back to an earlier version.  IA works like a charm.  When the new IA update is released I’ll update wordpress back to the latest version.

It only takes a few minutes to r…[Read more]

BTW, I think if you are really interested in a product and it has a legitimate guarantee then buy it.  If it doesn’t live up to your expectations, get a refund.  That keeps it honest.  I’d feel bad tr…[Read more]

Re:  Hang out – there were a few webinars between January 14 and Mar 18th that still have not been posted.  I don’t remember the topics, only that they were ones that I would wanted to participate in but was unable to do so. 

Do you know if they were recorded?

Thanks

Andrew said a few thousand was enough to get the ball rolling.  On a 17K site with 8 tags I set IA to 3K. Results have been all over the map anywhere from a few thousand to almost full indexing. 

I read a post by Andrew, but maybe it was Andre Tobar, that you get orders of magnitude better i…[Read more]

You had 4 clicks for 15 visits.  So Google estimates how many clicks you’ll have in a 1000 visits (your RPM).

A simple ratio:

4 clicks/15 visits = X clicks/1000 visits

so Google estimates you’ll get 266 clicks for those theoretical 1000 visits (I wish I was getting that CTR).

Since your clicks…[Read more]

If you paused CF then the bots will stop entirely as will other traffic.  They have no IP path to get to your site unless you changed the nameservers to point to your hosting site  and not CF.

I have run a few tests on that theme using a header and no header for adsense.  Click thru has been consistently higher with no header.

For adsense, simple is…[Read more]

If this job has your tongue hanging out, it will only cost you a few bucks and a few hours to put up a 15K city-state site to see how it ranks.  If it ranks, you’ll be in a strong bargaining position to offer to…[Read more]

I sure miss the old days when earning $300-500 a day on adsense with 1000 pages was easy to do.

Unfortunately, my passwords have grown as much out of control and as numerous as hack attempts.  I’ve been using LastPass to track mine and it seems pretty good.

I usually don’t worry too much because I have strong user n…[Read more]

I’ve already decided that I’m moving off shared hosting.  I’ve been with my current hosting company since 2003 and might move to their VPS since they would move everything over for me.

I don’t w…[Read more]

It would be interesting to test it out although a single test wouldn’t be significant either way.

“Can we drip feed these posts over time?”
“Should we backlink?”

I have ranked sites for clients in mid-sized cities in competitive markets with minimal linking.  Two I can think of are a family medical doctor and the other was for a pro golfer and golf lessons.  For some reason those popped up on Google and have stayed in the top three organic plus the 7 pack with only a…[Read more]

I think one of the early posts on FB mentioned the sites were ranking without linking, but I’m not certain.  However, I went ahead and put up the initial batch of links on 3 of my sites with 20-50 links on each site dripped over 2 weeks. 

However, since p…[Read more]

I’ve built 4 sites over the past few days – 2 local cosmetic surgery sites and 2 state mortgage sites.  I know these are very competitive niches. So far, I’ve got a few page one spots on Yahoo and Bing for local results, but…[Read more]
