You were new once too

It is so easy to forget the days when there wasn’t a membership site telling you how to make money online, when there were no videos showing you what to do and how to do it.

The only person who ever showed me how to do stuff online was a mate of mine who stood behind me and laughed and gave me crap when I messed up.

Lucky enough things have changed a bit since then. One thing that hasn’t changed is that people come online and aren’t sure what to do.

My last video showing people how to check keywords went so well that I decided to do one on something really basic. Buying a domain!

This isn’t a video for everyone, but if you meet someone really new then send them on over here and they can watch this video and learn how to buy their first domain.

Oh and the guy who used to laugh at me.. I showed him, I married his girlfriend!

Now that is a whole nother blog post..

Mining Your Stats For Free

There is so much talk about this keyword tool and that keyword tool, getting info from here there and everywhere that we often ignore the data that we are collecting every day.

Once you have built a site and it has started getting traffic I can almost guarantee that it will get traffic from keywords and phrases that you would never have thought of.

Sometimes your site will even rank highly for these long tail keyword phrases without you even thinking about it.

So what can you do with that info?

Well you can take that data, see how you rank for the terms that people are using to find your site and possibly with just a little nudge you can increase your ranking and your traffic.

These terms are gold, why, well because you know people are definitely searching for them and they are also clicking through from the search engines.

I made a short video showing how I use a free firefox plugin to sort the info. You may need to turn the sound up.

Playing with themes still

Sorry to anyone who has been looking for something new and exciting from me this weekend.

We are still messing around with the theme for this blog, We are now on the 3rd one (well it may be more by the time you read this!) and to be honest I am beginning to wonder what is wrong with just using good old Kubrick!

Anyway I will try and resume posting and I would like to actually post more, once this is sorted.

I just saw the future of instore marketing!

We have been out looking at patio furniture today, the weather is great and we are having a small family get together in a couple of weeks so we will need some extra chairs.

We went to various places, including Target. While in Target we walked past the shoe isles, a women was trying on a pair of high heels while her husband sat on a stool.

As we walk past my wife looks over and says “oohh they look really good on you” and we carry on walking, I hear the women say to her husband “see, she thinks I should have them” “ok, Ok” was the response.

I looked at my wife and all she said was “This is my natural habitat and I do what I can to help other women”

I think that stores will be hireing shoppers to go and recommend stuff, like a walking testimonial service!
