One of my favorite marketers Chris Remple has recently released a new product about targetting the #1 in MSN. Frankly from the experience I have had of MSN I can't see the point of this. I checked last months stats for some of my sites that rank #1 in Google, Yahoo and MSN the traffic from those sites are as follows. Google 711 Yahoo 69 MSN 67 and for those of you interested..EzineArticles 691 All search engines like sites to have a keyword related domain name so if you are building a site about "Solar powered widgets" then by getting a site containing the keyword you will stand a … [Read more...]

Happy Columbus Day. It's difficult to know how to treat the topic of Christopher Columbus, 4 Voyages to find a westward route to China and the Indies without success. He was returned to Spain in chains, He only just managed to avoid being a victim of the Spanish Inquisition. His crews were responsible for introducing syphilis in Europe and Small pox into the west indies which wiped out hundred of thousands of people on both sides of the Atlantic. Yet he is still celebrated as discovering America. Whereas John Cabot who actually discovered (well re-discovered to more precise) North America … [Read more...]

Why do people bother writing great articles and then adding lame headlines to them? I get so frustrated when I see a good article and a headline that sucks, no matter how good the article is if the headline is weak people are not going to want to read it. Go to Ezinearticles and look at the articles on the front page. How many of those headlines and descriptions make you want to stop and read them? When you write an article don't just use the first headline you think of , try to get one that grabs the readers attention then follow up with a first paragraph which grabs them by the throat and … [Read more...]

There are 2 main factors involved in this sudden … [Read more...]
Who Am I?

I’ve just finished writing some emails for an autoresponder series I am putting together for Focused Achievement. Some of the stuff I am writing is sparking memories and revealing things to me that I had forgot about or that I hadn’t connected before. I then realised that like most people on the internet you know nothing about me. For all you know I might be a 15 year old kid with no life experiences. So I’ve decided to share some information about myself. So who Is Mark Thompson and more importantly what made me what I am today. I was born on July 1st 1962 I have been married for … [Read more...]
What’s holding you back??
September 22, 2008 By 4 Comments
It's an unfortunate fact of life that that seems to be more things to hold you back than to propel you forward, mostly this is subconscious and it can be overcome. How many times have you set out to build a site or an income stream and become sidetracked? If you can identify what’s holding you back then you are on the way to conquering these psychological anchors. I spoke to a guy over the weekend who is on to make $25,000 this month. The impressive thing isn't that he is making a good income every month but that he only started 5 months ago. In an earlier post I talked about another guy … [Read more...]
