Spill-Over Saturday | You better sit down and pay attention and don’t . . .

Tell me that you grew up so poor you could’t pay attention!

True story – for all of us.

Since we’ve become Tinu’s partners in the best site on the web (other than all of your sites, ofcourse), we’ve rearranged our usual work plan, in that we’ve totally abandoned our 5 other websites, and reduced the time we allot for our other two businesses, so we could give as much time to all of you. No need to applaud, we felt that what we were doing was the righteous thing to do. Naturally, this has caused our cash flow to recede a bit. Well, more than a bit. But we knew this going in, eyes wide open.

You’re probably saying, so what?

Well, peoples, here’s the what.

As Cartman Would Say – Respect My Authorati!

Authorati should get Cartman from South Park as a mascot. (click the photo to see a short video of Cartman with “authoratah”). (more…)

Free Traffic Tips: Freedom Friday’s Extras Day

It’s Freedom Friday. Please proceed to place your hands in a fashion perpendicular to the ground and wave them in a casual fashion.

Those of you who got that joke are experiencing side-splitting laughter. Those of you who don’t may comment to this post that I may laugh, point, and explain.

Although you still won’t find it funny….

Anyway, all joking aside…. I found yet another post to the Goldblogger site that fully explains why you should Make Sure You Have Permission To Syndicate Other People’s Feeds On Your Site.

Please respect other people’s content. Personally, I think RSS Equalizer is not a bad tool… used properly like over at the IM4Newbies site. But jacking people for their feeds when they post their express wishes for you not to?

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Free Traffic Tips: Monday Mondays Conclusion: The Value Exchange

So to summarize:

You need to invest in your business. You will have to put in money, time, knowledge, or whatever else of value you can come up with, and eventually, a combination of all these things.

Also:

If you want other people to invest in your business, you’ll need to set up a value exchange. The results you get will hinge upon the level of value you give for the level of value you get.

So who is John Galt?

I can’t answer that for you. You’d have to read Atlas Shrugged for yourself, and decide on your own. That link will give you the ability to find the book at the best price that the market bears.

Free Traffic Tips Extra: Webmaster News and Gossip

Yes, it’s from Search Engine Journal again.

The News
Domain Names Still Important Despite Search Engine Popularity

My Own Wild Speculations and Gossip
The average webmaster will continue to feel important if those of us struggling to stay content focused and relevant were rewarded with consistent, fair listings that the average search engine hacker can’t crack.

And again, continue to buy my love, in a way where they can not only survive short term, but thrive long term from the prospect of supplying a constant stream of good content.

I’ve got one friend who got his legitimate site knocked off the top listings by spam sites who somehow manage to benefit from the very algorithm change that was rumored to have been intended to punish them and not real sites like his.

Freedom Fridays: Reciprocal Content Exchange.

The other day I mentioned how much easier it is to get people to trade links with you if you have something to give – your articles, your RSS Feed, the option to host a frequently used tool on your servers – here’s some more information about that from Seo Scoop.

Freedom Fridays: Paid Content

Mommie Dearest was on HBO Signature a little earlier. Thank God for cable or I’d be bored out of my mind working from home some days.

Not that my work isn’t fun-filled and interesting. The bulk of the job I created for myself is writing or traffic-generating, two activities I love.

But one of the key benefits of creating yourself a career you can do on the computer from home is watching TV during your down time. Guilt-free couch potato-ism is where it’s at, baby.

And that ramble takes us to content type number three- Paid Content.

I pay you $20, and for a year, you’ll give me all the information I would need on some subject. Or I give you $200 one time and you give me a crash course on my favorite subject.

Freedom Fridays: Advertiser Supported Content

The second type of content you have is advertiser-supported content. On the web, this is the type of content I see people screwing up the most often.

To see what I mean, let’s go back to the TV analogy.

Here on the West Coast, the movie Oscar, starring Sylvester Stone just went off. While I was watching the movie, there were commercials. The one I remember most was for Cancer Centers of America.

Now I ask you. What the hell does Cander Centers of America have to do with the film Oscar?

Not a damn thing – at least not on the surface.
