    Will social networks make newsletters obsolete in internet marketing?

    People pay much more attention to newsletters than Facebook posts or tweets. Consequently, you can get a much better conversion if you're using e-mail marketing. As for me, I'd rather have a newsletter than a Facebook page. Money is in the list, and on Facebook there's too much noise to make...

    Ever had any run ins with google?

    I haven't been using "very" black hat methods. I was just creating high-quality blogs and writing articles for sites like Squidoo that were linking to my main site, and then building hundreds of low-quality links to these sites. It wasn't anything really black hat like spamming forums or comment...

    YouTube vs Twitter vs Facebook

    YouTube vs Twitter vs Facebook: which one do you prefer and why? I think that Facebook is the most useful social media site. You can share longer posts, they can go viral much more quickly than on YouTube or Twitter, it's much easier to keep in touch with your followers. Moreover, there are...

    Spam

    Yeah, the same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. Hopefully it was only a single incident. There's a plugin called Fassim Anti Forum Spam, but I found out that after installing it some people weren't able to register on the forum. The plugin mistakenly recognized as spammers. You can try it...

    Do you write and sell ebooks online?

    I wrote a few e-books. It isn't that difficult to write them; the hard part is to sell them. You have to create a convincing sales page, set up Clickbank or E-Junkie account (or any other system that lets you sell e-books easily), and lastly, find customers. Selling e-books on Amazon is probably...

    How to get more Facebook fans

    I think that the number #1 tip is to write viral content. If people are sharing your content, sooner or later some of their friends will check out it. Moreover, simply ask your followers to share your posts on Facebook. I don't recommend buying Facebook likes. You want to build a real following...

    Best Network for Freelancers?

    I love Freelancer.com. I don't like eLance and oDesk. I find them difficult to navigate, and it's extremely hard to get a gig there. At Freelancer.com, you still have to compete with Indians charging $2 per hour, but there are also many employers who are looking for high-quality work.

    Ever had any run ins with google?

    I was hit pretty bad by Penguin. In fact, after my sites were hit by Penguin, I stopped working on them because it was close to impossible to regain rankings (my traffic dropped to a few visits daily). Later I was hit by the EMD update (exact match domains), and another of my sites was hit by...

    Quality is the king!

    Newbies starting out with link building usually make a mistake of building too many low-quality links at once. Keep in mind that Google isn't stupid. 100 links from fresh blogs won't give you much of an advantage in rankings (and they may even hurt your site). You have to focus on quality, not...

    What's your favorite SEO tool?

    If we're talking strictly about tools (content is not a tool), Google Keyword Tool and Market Samurai are my favorites. I use Market Samurai to track my rankings and analyze competition, and Google Keyword Tool to research keywords (it's much faster than Market Samurai). Moreover, I also use...

    Who is your favorite Internet marketer?

    There are quite a few Internet marketers who teach other people how to make money online. Who is your favorite Internet marketer? Who do you trust? My top3 would be: 1. Craig Ballantyne, he teaches how to make money online at InternetIndependence.com 2. Spencer Haws, he blogs at...

    Are you an ethical webmaster?

    Of course that I'm an ethical webmaster. I turned down quite a few offers to promote low-quality products. I would never recommend something that I didn't find valuable. Doing so would not only make me feel like a sleazy marketer, it would also hurt me in the long run. Always focus on providing...

    Keyword Density Analysis Tool

    There's a free Firefox plugin called SearchStatus that allows you to check keyword density on a given page. You just need to right click, choose "show keyword density", and it will show you keyword density in title, body, H1/H2/H3, etc. I think it's a much better tool than the one you posted here.

    Microjob sites and your views on them?

    I used Fiverr a few times but I wasn't very happy with the quality, and I asked for a refund. I'd rather hire someone on a site like Freelancer.com where you can easily assess the skills of a freelancer you want to hire. As a freelancer, I also prefer Freelancer.com and similar sites. It's much...

    Unique websites ideas to make you rich

    You don't have to have a unique idea to make money. In fact, it's much better to make money with a proven type of website (affiliate site, blog, authority site, squeeze page) rather than try to invent something new. No idea is original. Stick to something that has worked for numerous people, and...

    How difficult is it to earn money online?

    It is VERY difficult to earn money online if you don't treat it seriously. Working online is the same kind of business as working offline. You still have to find customers, offer value, keep offering new products and services. If you don't grow, your business won't grow as well. However, once...

    How do you promote your blog/site for free?

    There are so many ways to advertise your site for free that I can't possibly list all of them here. Here are just a couple techniques that I find the most effective: Long tail keywords - write articles optimized for long tail keywords. It's very easy to rank for these keywords in top10, and...

    Black Hat or White Hat SEO?

    If you're in it for the long run, go white hat. Google will always catch people who use black hat techniques (see Penguin, Panda, etc.). I used some black hat techniques in the past and they only hurt my site. It's close to impossible to regain good rankings if your site disappeared for all main...

    Hey there

    Hi all, I'm a freelancer (I write articles for other people), and I manage my own sites. I believe that white hat SEO is the most effective SEO, mostly because there's no risk of penalties that can basically kill your site (it's extremely hard to regain rankings after your site got hit by...
