Your First Week as an Entrepreneur? Here's What to Do
"Great article. One thing that people need to keep in mind is that the business is going to open and go on if they are ready or not. You can prepare for your startup, but once it starts, hang on to your hats! It is controlling how you deal with the fact that is important. Thanks for sharing this as a reminder for those of us who have been there and words of wisdom for those going into it. If you are reading this article as a new entrepreneur, take it to heart as the author knows what she is talking about. "When “They” Steal Your Search Engine Ranking and Traffic…
"Excellent article. While syndication is good and will bring you traffic, you make a good point about trying to outrank without syndication. It is definitely better to get the unique visitors directly to your site from a high search engine ranking than the multitudes you would receive from syndication. It will help build a better SEO presence and also get you more quality visitors. Great article and thanks for the reminder about syndication (no offense to BizSugar). "5 Reasons Why You Are Not Building A Successful Business Online
"Have to agree. No matter how effectively you work, you must be able to put in the time to managing, promoting, and building. There is no quick way. Using sound methods over time is something that must be done if you want to build and maintain and successful business. "Guest Blogging Etiquette: A Bit from Both Sides of the Equation
"Thanks for the reminder. There are many people who start to take guest blogging for granted and begin to lower the quality of their work, act like they own the website they are guest posting on, etc. It is important to remember these tips as webmasters love guest bloggers who know the etiquette of guest blogging. "How to Avoid Keyword Stuffing on Your Website Blog
"Thank you, thank you, thank you. I get tired of reading content that you can tell is written simply for SEO purposes. Google is getting smarter and smarter and these techniques will soon be overshadowed as websites are rewarded for articles that are written for reader enjoyment and flow "naturally." If the content is written properly (for reader enjoyment and information), keywords will also flow naturally in the article and Google's algorithm will pick up on this and rank accordingly. Thank you for sharing. "The Top 8 Priorities for Any One-Man Marketing Team
"Great advise. I will tell you as a one-man marketing team, #1 is one of the most important. Also being realistic with those goals. I have to always make sure that the goals I set are cost effective. By that I mean I will move on to a different goal if reaching the previous is not going to pay off. Thanks for the advice. "Why I Have Participated in a Guest Blogging Contest & Why You Should Too
"Great article. For those of you who don't care about traffic, please stop guest posting. For the rest of us, thanks for the reminder about how important it is to keep up with guest posting. I will not mention the different communities that I use (I will mention BizSugar of course) but you can generate a lot of traffic from guest posts as long as you follow the guidelines of the websmaster and adhere to white hat SEO techniques. I believe that you will also start to see people coming back to guest blogging with the type of hit that was taken in the last Google algorithm update. Many people took a hit from their "not so friendly" SEO techniques and will have to come back to the things that work the best (like guest posting). "Beware: Deceptive Work at Home Opportunities on the Loose
"I believe they have always been on the loose. This industry is tough if you are a true reputable player. Your marketing efforts need to be unique and eye catching as you have to weed through all of the scams out there. There are many reputable companies with work from home opportunities, but it is sometimes hard to identify them thanks to the scams that are out there. "Subscribe
