		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes you don&#8217;t know how much you like a tool until its gone. Although I&#8217;ve never been an affiliate for Market Samurai &#8211; I&#8217;ve used the tool on basically a weekly basis for years &#8211; I may have had it for about 3 years actually!  I used it to track my rankings &#8211; and now changes to Google mean that they are going to probably start charging for ranking data, at the moment its only working it a limited format.  If this is all news to you &#8211; then check out James&#8217;s post on Rank Tracking Software Other Than Market Samurai and Pat Flynn&#8217;s Interview with Market Samurai&#8217;s CEO Bugger, as they say, in software development, what do I do? (Oh I could rant on about the changes in costs for Market Samurai- but frankly, even if I never use them again &#8211; I&#8217;ve had enormous value from them for a $97 payment some years ago &#8211; I have no problem with them &#8211; I understand the problem is Google not them, and I can&#8217;t fix Google!)  But my issue is that I feel like I&#8217;m flying blind with no quick and easy way to check rankings &#8211; and worse &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah Christmas or whatever you choose to celebrate or not in this happy/stressful/profitable time of the year!  I think its fair to say that 2011 has been a bit of an up and down year in terms of Internet Marketing, maybe I&#8217;m just bloody lucky, but really all the bad stuff that&#8217;s happened to me has been thanks to the TOS changes with HubPages plus nervous clients.  Google has been, interesting, but the most interesting thing, and totally bloody irritating part, are their continuing moves to restrict access to their goldmine of data known as the Google keywords tool. For a long time using the tool direct doesn&#8217;t give you real long tail keywords &#8211; you only get to about 3 or 4 words: a real long term is longer than that. Its very, very focussed, its not in Google&#8217;s best interest to reveal those because a) PPC advertisers would save a fortune only bidding on very specific terms and b) evil affiliate marketers would make way too much money.  Google&#8217;s changes to their API TOS has meant than some previously good tools have gone away &#8211; and I am sure I&#8217;m not the only one who has found I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve used Post page associator plugin for a while. Its a handy plugin which allowed you to do what it says on the pack; add a list of your posts in a certain category, at the bottom of the page. I used it here for example.  However the developer has been under criticism for included a &#8220;please donate&#8221;  large ad on your main dashboard if you hadn&#8217;t paid &#8211; in fact I had give a donation &#8211; but I was buggered if I was going to donate for EACH blog I used it on &#8211; so I found the advertising a little annoying.  There was toys tossed in the WordPress forums though, some users found the nag VERY annoying,- and the developer has taken his toys home &#8211; or in this case made the plugin paid only (and quite expensive at that). Free Option: List Category Posts Plugin  You&#8217;ll find this plugin if you search on the install plugins page. It works &#8211; you add a short code somewhere in a page where you want the listing of posts to occur &#8211; and it does. Now there are a bunch of options, but making it look pretty involved php and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK guys apparently the world changed and some of you didn&#8217;t notice. Ironic really, I&#8217;ve heard plenty of people whinging about not being able to get good backlinks. Or asking for alternatives to Build My Rank because the BMR blogs didn&#8217;t look &#8220;real&#8221; and weren&#8217;t niche specific. You want links from relevant sites.  You want links from sites with PR, authority and even traffic.  Then you get an opportunity to join just such a network  - and you spam it with crappy spun-content from your favourite fiverr outsourcer!  Come on guys!  Obviously I need to review backlinks 101 for you guys &#8211; maybe some of you never knew, some of you forgot, some of you just don&#8217;t want to hear it.  Some links are worth more than others!  I started a new site &#8211; 3 weeks later it was a PR3 &#8211; three months later its still  PR3 and on page 1 for its desired keyword? What did I do? I gave it one single link from a PR3 site which I controlled which was relevant to the niche and didn&#8217;t have too many outbound links. It not rocket science, it hasn&#8217;t changed any time recently. Some links are more useful [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SEO Cobra is CURRENTLY OPEN You stay in this game for long enough you end up with plenty of friends in low places.  Not one of my friends are A-list bloggers &#8211; but some of them have developed some cool stuff. The thing is they don&#8217;t do the flashy launches, the buy now or the door closes in 25 seconds from now.  They don&#8217;t tease you along  for dozens of premlinary &#8211; &#8220;exclusive&#8221;  emails for the &#8220;insiders&#8221;.  Yeah OK so the owner does get over-excited from time-to-time, maybe there is something better available on Alpha Centauri, but language issues are gonna kill you. Introducing SEO Cobra The Best Backlinking Service in The Known Universe So what does Cobra do? Well it allows you to post  unique content to a blog that has PR, rankings, a relevant keyword in the title, and sometimes all three. What does this save you? Time, lots and lots of time. If you&#8217;ve ever tried to find bloggers in your niche who will let you link to you niche site, or even your gorgeous beautiful, authority ones. Yeah pain the backside, you get to the point that just getting a flipping NO would be good!  For [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[UPDATED January 2012. The Keyword Academy drives me insane sometimes! If we could just get Mark to dot some &#8220;i&#8217;s&#8221; and &#8220;t&#8217;s&#8221; it would be so much easier!  Its been a long time since I did my first Keyword Academy review – nearly 3 years  in fact. So is the Keyword Academy still working in 2012?  Yes it is but some of wish Mark would hurry up and update his bloody sale&#8217;s page from time-to-time &#8211; like once every couple of years OK!  Google is always changing the game, and in 2011, in response to changes in Google (known as &#8220;&#8221;Panda-monium&#8221; by those of low humour standards) &#8211; so-called TKA2.0 was released.  The core lessons were updated, changed from video format (really hard to update) to written form, some tools had to be retired because they just didn&#8217;t work with anymore with the changes to Google&#8217;s programming feed. But now the buzz is that The Keyword Academy 2.0 is out and I&#8217;ve had emails asking – is this program still good to go – is it worth it could you please update your Keyword Academy review? What&#8217;s changed – will it still work for me? Does Keyword Academy work in a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK about a month ago I asked if you could still make money with Hubpages in 2011. You might want to read that again quickly but here are the results of my two case studies: Case Study 1 Adsense Niche Starting positions previously top ranking hub #4 niche vacation site #7 All links were built using BMR (Build My Rank review here). All dates in proper format! 16/5 Adsense  hub  is back to #1 on scroogle.org  42 articles live on BMR 31/5 after sitting at #1 consistently for a week, today is back to #2 &#8211; 60 articles live on BMR 16/5 niche site dot info &#8211; #8 on scroogle.org &#8211; 32 articles live on BMR 31/5 after sitting consistently at #2 and #3 for the last week &#8211; has now dropped to #6/#7 &#8211; 60 articles live on BMR Conclusion &#8211; a hub will rank again if you build links to it &#8211; whether you have to keep building links to it remains to be seen.  For the amount of work you have to do &#8211; you might as well just build your own site.

		<description><![CDATA[OK this is another instalment in my collection of articles about how the premium WordPress theme Catalyst: it may not be free but it allows even the technically terrified to  do cool stuff! On of the things that I like about Catalyst is that its one theme that I can use for everything &#8211; from a mini-site to this site, to a client&#8217;s professional site. I use Catalyst for all  of them. Today I&#8217;m concentrating on using Catalyst with Adsense. Now there are plenty of WordPress plugins that promise to manage your Adsense easily with any theme. But plugins have their own issues- every plugin you add to a site adds a level of complexity and invariably need upgrading every time WordPress upgrades, and sometimes they break and sometimes they even send a quiet percentage of impressions to their author&#8217;s Adsense publisher ID! There are a number of ways to deal with Adsense using the Catalyst theme &#8211; I think I have the simplest - and I will point you to a couple of alternative solutions at the end of this post. How to Manage Adsense on a WordPress Blog My requirements for when I want Adsense to show &#8211; and more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If your response to my title was WTF is Postrunner &#8211; then check out my earlier post. If you are a member of The Keyword Academy you will know  that Postrunner is system used with TKA in order to create keyword anchored links for your sites. I&#8217;ve compared to BuildMyRank to Postrunner &#8211; and Mark is now trying to differentiate Postrunner from BuildMyRank and similar schemes. His argument is that Postrunner needs to evolve: needs &#8220;better quality&#8221; sites in Postrunner. the reason more &#8220;quality&#8221; sites aren&#8217;t in Postrunner is because of the &#8220;quality&#8221; of the articles being sent to them. his proposed solution is an author scoring system which will reward the writers (or buyers) of superior articles. The Argument About &#8220;Quality&#8221; Articles As soon as the thread started in the forum the predictable grammar Nazi&#8217;s (Nazis&#8217;? Nazis&#8217;s ??) were out in force. Too many trailing commas &#8211; FAIL. Use of nonstandard spellings FAIL. To be fair to Mark, in the seminar he specifically mentioned that he wasn&#8217;t concerned about grammar and spelling problems, he was more worried about the articles being relevant and having a point. Its all looking like this will be seen, by many, most of whom haven&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
