SEOMoz Blog Writes An Amusing Article

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

I don’t usually do posts like this where I link to another blog and go “oh isn’t that nice”.

But I’ll have to make an exception for this one: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/10-different-types-of-clients

This little gem popped up in my feed reader tonight. It won’t teach you much about internet marketing, but it might give you a bit of a chuckle. Take a look.

Make Money Online Bloggers, I Need To Rant…

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

Argh, these make money online bloggers, in their little crews and gangs and affiliations. They make me sick.

I am targetting my frustration right now at one or two extremely commercial “super affiliates” who seem to just leech off the noobs in the industry.

I should probably start off by saying I’m a hypocrite, as I can imagine doing what they’re doing, just in a different niche. I could sell things to people that they don’t need quite easily. It’s just being only a young Padawan myself when it comes to internet marketing, I feel it is worth at least pointing out that these bloggers are assholes.

I don’t need to name names, you know who they are.

The latest thing to annoy me is this. One MMO blogger says how this other MMO blogger has an awesome product, and you must buy it. If the product was worth it then yes, but the product was a crappy Wordpress template that wasn’t that impressive.

It may well have been worth the $97 price, but I can’t think of many people who should be purchasing it. It’s a luxury that most people can’t afford. Why waste money on a Wordpress template when you can download one for free.

Then again, looking at it from the other point of view. The more noobs that are misguided into buying crap they don’t need, the less competition for me.

Maybe it’s not so bad after all.

Three Internet Marketing Blogs

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

I’ve just updated my links list to include three of my favourite internet marketing blogs. You might be suprised to see that some of the more famous faces aren’t there, and there’s a good reason for that.

I’ve only included the blogs which have helped me to make money in the past, or have given me inspiration to do something different and be a little creative. I thought I’d give a shout out to them and include at least one of what I would call their best posts.

Blue Hat SEO

Everyone knows Eli, creator of SQUIRT, PingCrawl and other awesome goodies. I have spent a lot time on that site lapping other the information,  and I have to admit that a lot of it goes way over my head. The whole site is geared around advanced SEO tactics and always seems to be one step ahead of the game.

The one post you would do well to read, even if it’s just to think about what you’d like to do one day when you get some skills, is this:

SEO Empire Part 1

Digerati Marketing

Another Godsend for me has been Mark from Digerati Marketing. He writes in an easy to understand style, and lays everything out for you. And the best reason to read his blog is that he’s from the UK…

…like me :)

One of the things you’ll notice about this blog is that, like Blue Hat SEO, it’s not updated regularly. But, the quality of the posts that have already been written more than makes up for that, just have a look through the archives.

My favourite post to date from Mark is this:

Make Money With a Video Blog

Glowleaf

I’ve only just recently stumbled upon this guy, and I’ve devoured everything on that blog. I like his no-nonsense approach to internet marketing, none of that “guru” stuff that you get from all the, well, gurus I guess.

I read this post recently, a truly awesome post for newbies (I still classify myself as somewhat newbyish):

How To Create Your First Online Asset

That’s it from me, I’m sure there’s loads more I’ve missed but that’s what springs to mind at the moment. If you want to suggest anyone else, or even yourself, then feel free to leave a comment.
