I think this kind of advice applies to people who are in the spammy links business. There are too many gray areas for Matt Cutts' advice to apply to everybody.
Footer links aren't just good for SEO, they DO deliver traffic, and I'm sure Google is well aware of this. For example, I found an...
I recently launched a new blog. By the time I started promoting it, I had 7 articles listed. It's kind of a boring topic, so I wasn't sure exactly what to expect as far as traffic or interest.
Surprisingly people started showing interest right away. Traffic has been steadily growing and now...
I know that when I want to get the scoop on a particular site or program, I ALWAYS do a search for reviews. I look for reviews from bloggers since they seem to give the most details as far as the good, the bad and the ugly. Plus, I like to see reviews from a variety of people. After all, just...
If I were selling to a business audience, I would look at trade association websites to see how big the market is and what types of problems members have.
For example, if I wanted to sell to subcontractors, I would check out the Subcontractors Trade Association website. As an example, they...

This is true if you're offering basically the same service as everybody else. For example, content writers who specialize in 500 word articles are all over the place.
Instead, find a writing niche where there aren't a lot of competitors. For example, is there a specific type of article you...
I looked it up. Google says you shouldn't have optimized links in the post or the signature.
For example, a signature that looks like this, with links to your website, is probably a no-no:
Sponge Bob Pillow Cases | Sponge Bob Toys | Sponge Bob Books
I guess it might look even more spammy to...
I've used both Aweber and GetResponse. I'm in the internet marketing niche, where most people know about Aweber. So I have few problems with getting people to double opt-in. Everybody knows the way Aweber works, so getting subscribers seems to be easier with them.
Plus, I like all the...
I started a site around 6 years ago. About 3 years ago (when the economy started to really tank in my household) I decided to sell it. I put it up on Flippa and sold it for a cool $30K.
The site had actually started declining in profits, which is the main reason why I decided to sell it. I...
Gaming is always a popular forum segment, but I think you should take it a step further and consider a more tightly focused gaming niche. There are already several extremely popular general gaming forums, so it would be hard for you to make a splash. A niche gaming forum gives you a better...
Last year I was on Fiverr for a month writing About Us pages for website owners. I did over 100 gigs - with stellar ratings - before I called it quits. I was really just testing the water to see if I would like doing the work. I didn't, so I stopped.
I think getting a lot of work on Fiverr is...
A few months ago I sat in on a Twitter chat that was hosted by Ann Smarty, the owner of MyBlogGuest.com. (I believe they do these chats weekly, if anyone is interested.)
Anyway, Ann is well-known and respected in the SEO blogosphere, so I was really curious to see if she would mention...
