Thank You Article Marketer and Listeners

Just popping in to thank you for coming to the Article Marketing Teleseminar I did with ArticleMarketer.com. Chris is an incredibly gracious host, and interviewing with him is like having a relaxing conversation, even though you know you have an audience and have only a 50% idea of what he’s going to ask.

It was wonderful of you all to come, and if you sent me a question via email, I’ll be honest and say it’ll be forever before I can answer any of them, and some of them I just won’t get to, due to the volume of email I get on a daily basis. You’d do better to leave the questions posted as a response to this thread. I appreciate all your comments though, and I do read as many of them as I can.

I would say “I hate IE7 in the Springtime”

But

  1. I don’t actually hate it.
  2. It’s totally summer.


It just annoys the crap out of me sometimes. I’m really trying to be on its team, and gave serious consideration to switching back to IE from Firefox. But when it does things like double post my Wordpress entries? Not so much endearing.

No. Not at all. And I hate when I can’t make a new tab, when selecting new tabs. Because no, I don’t want the content to load in this window. That’s why I clicked what? New. Tab.

Two Google Thangs Real Quick

I’m sure you heard the other day about how you can make a public Google calendar that even people who don’t use it can read. Three uses that come to mind:

  • Let people know when you’re available in the future.
  • Use it to organize a Meme
  • Suggest a blog or book reading schedule

Me. Likey.

But I bet ya haven’t heard this piece o’ news. According to the Inside Google Book Search blog, they’ve put together a newsletter for librarians.

Article Marketing Round-Up

So you want free traffic, do you? So you want to know everything I could possibly tell you about article marketing? So you want it for free?

You greedy bastard, you.

Well, here it all is, because I really don’t feel like tagging all my imported posts from my old blog and putting them into categories. No sir. I don’t think so. Tinu suis sleepy. (8 years of French. What a shame.)

But in honor of tomorrow’s seminar at 11 am Pacific, even though I’ve gotten really used to the idea of working every other day, I have made this list for you. Why? Why the hell not – don’t you question my authoriatay!

(Too much South Park. Not Enough Sleep.)

That Tag and Ping Thing

I know what you expect me to say. You expect me to say “oh, all that tag and ping stuff is rubbish, I taught you that already and if you buy that package it’s rubbish and you’re wasting your money.”

But that’s not what I was going to say at all. And I did teach you about tagging and pinging in 2004 and early 2005.

And I’ve been harping on responsible pinging since then, and I told you repeatedly that abusing pinging would not even bring quality short term traffic, and could get a site banned.

However, having bought the package so I could review it, and see what the fuss was about, I can’t bring myself to say it’s rubbish. Far from it. I actually think it would be useful for a beginner who just can’t wrap their mind around pinging. I couldn’t at first, and if I’d had it, it would have helped me. I think it’s overpriced, and I think that if you should try and figure it out on your own first.

So. I’m In Tears Now, Thanks A Lot

So I come here to post the link to the latest newsletter. And I find this in the comments section.

My name is YS and I am Tinu’s client for around five month.

I never ever written one testimonial in my life. In fact I was never sure if I should trust any of them.

But this is a very special case. I feel so much appreciation for Tinu’s work that I decided to write about my experience with Tinu.

By the time I found Tinu’s website, I already had several successful travel websites. Boy, it took me a lot of time, effort & money to get good ranking. I did not really understand much about the search engines & traffic.
