			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve read my blog or sales letters before you will know that I am not prone to hype. I don&#8217;t want this post to come across as hype but I strongly believe that this could be the most important blog post you read this year. I know you have probably heard that a thousand times but please bear with me.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d like you to do the following, read this post, Download version 2 of the report from the link below, grab a coffee and read it.</p>
<p>If you can see the potential then consider the offer at the end of the post, please don&#8217;t make a rash decision to sign up I would much rather you considered it first.</p>
<p>Consider if you&#8217;ll have time to implement my suggestions, If you can&#8217;t make an hour a day or at least 5 hours a week then you probably won&#8217;t have time to succeed even if you outsource.</p>
<p>Next consider if you are happy to maybe spend some money on tools that will speed up the process , yes you can do everything manually and reinvest your profits but if you have some &#8220;play&#8221; money you&#8217;ll be profitable so much quicker.</p>
<p>Finally consider if you are happy paying a small monthly subscription. The main reason I switched from a one time payment to a monthly subscription was to allow me to spend time researching some of the things I am going to tell you about. I&#8217;ve actually had people join in the past few weeks and then email me saying they love the information but they refuse to pay a subscription on principle. If you feel like that then please read some of my other posts there is more than enough information to keep you busy for weeks.</p>
<p>Right on with the post..sorry for that long introduction but hopefully you will understand the reason for it as you read the rest.</p>
<p>Last week I released a report called the Article Leverage System, it was received favorably and I got lots of positive comments. During the week I thought I could improve it. The reason for this is that I have always taught people to target &#8220;low hanging fruit&#8221;  and build sites that get 50-100 or so visitors a day with the right niche this is good for around a $1 a day.</p>
<p>Using the power of the leverage system is wasted on sites like this so I set about finding a better type of site. I managed this by paying around with Micro Niche Finder and coming up with some truly amazing niches. I am talking about 5 page sites that get over 20,000 searches a month and have low strength of competition. You can use other tools but MNF was made for stuff like this, if you already have it you are going to love what I show you.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t believe the results I got the firt time I tried it, but they were repeated 4 times in a row afterwards. Members of the Wordpess Goldmine Forum have also got similar results. As a result for the same amount of work you are now looking at much more income from your sites.</p>
<p>You can find details of what I did in version 2 of the report just right click the following link.  <a href="http://octobersbs.s3.amazonaws.com/The%20Article%20Leverage%20System%20V2.pdf" target="_blank">Article Leverage Report Version 2</a></p>
<p>Now it gets very interesting, There is going to be a version 3 of the report that I&#8217;ll release in the forum in the next couple of days. This adds one further layer to the system and turns it from a simple system into a full blown cash generating business. It gives you real cash flow and the opportunity to generate an ever increasing residual income. Above all it&#8217;s simple, it can be outsourced and still make you big profits.  I&#8217;ve seen less viable systems sell for $147!!</p>
<p>Version 3 will only be available to the Forum members so here is a deal for you. I have never made this offer before and I doubt will never make it again.</p>
<p>Please remember what I said and consider if this is right for you.</p>
<p>Click on the Special offer link below and you can try WPG for $1 for the next 7 days. <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Now nothing is withheld from this offer, you get the books , videos etc. There is nothing stopping you taking the ebook , watching the videos and leaving.  But I am confident that you will see the value of the forum.</span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">I  believe that 90% of people are honest,</span></p>
<p><em><strong>Well it seems I was wrong!!  Of the first 20 people that signed up 14 downloaded the book then cancelled their account with 12 hours. As a result I&#8217;ve modified the offer you can still view the forum and watch the videos but the book will remain protected until the end of the special offer. it was either that or cancel the offer and I really beleive that it&#8217;s the best offer available .</strong></em></p>
<p>All I ask is over the next few days you spend a couple of hours and look at some of the posts in the forum, the step by steps courses and if you don’t think that the forum is worth the $19 a month and that it won’t help you take your online business to the next level then you can keep the book and the bonuses with no hard feelings from me.</p>
<p>Version 3 of the guide is called WordPress Goldmine Advanced and it is available in the forum, other recent additions are our own in house writing team who are all well qualifies native English writers, the standard rate for members is 1 cent per word. We are also planning to build our own blog network that will be available to members only.</p>
<p>I don’t think I can say fairer that that.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One thing that is certain when you try to make money online is that you need to get back links to your money sites.  Those back links also need to be good quality and a long term prospect. Without out those you will struggle to build a long term profitable business.</p>
<p>Hand in hand with the recent outsourcing experiment I documented here and in the WordPress Goldmine Forum I have also been testing back linking methods and the system I finally settled on turned out to be much more powerful that any other method I tried including the profile links which seem to be all the rage at the moment.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve structured the system so that it gets you thousands good quality links over a long period of time. It is also structured so that it can grow with you so that if you have little spare money at the moment you can use the free features and as your income grow you can add new &#8220;modules&#8221; until you are creating links on an industrial scale. Using this method there is nothing stopping you dominating the Google rankings with multiple sites in the top 10  (one experiment I tried got 13 out of the top 15 for a relatively easy term). You could also use this to dominate the rankings with your ezinearticles pages or hubpages and squidoo lenses.</p>
<p>Anyway enough waffle , you can grab your report from the link below, it&#8217;s free and I don&#8217;t want your email address.. If you like it please use the retweet icon at the start of the article. I&#8217;d also welcome your comments so please tell me what you think.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The following is an article I just posted on ezine articles, normally I never cross post but on this occassion I think it is worth while.  If you just promote a site without thinking about exactlky what you are doing then this post is for you..</p>
<p> </p>
<p>&#8220;Would you walk into a restaurant hand the waiter $100 and then walk out?? Would you go to Wal Mart pay for your weeks shopping and then leave it in the store? Of course you wouldn&#8217;t but why do you do the same thing with your websites?</p>
<p>For some reason people seem to think nothing of building a website then moving onto the next one before they&#8217;ve even finished promoting the original one. I can understand this as i have often got renewal requests for websites that I had completely forgotten about.</p>
<p>The latest was ranking at #1 in Google for a keyword phrase with almost 6,000,000 broad matches. The annoying thing was it hadn&#8217;t been monetized! Just because I am an idiot it doesn&#8217;t mean to say you need to be one too.</p>
<p>Part of the problem is that building websites and researching is fun whilst promoting them is boring and repetitive. None of us wants to spend out days getting back links and submitting out sites to various directories.</p>
<p>Luckily there are two ways around this, the first is outsourcing. Outsourcing the boring repetitive tasks is a good idea but only if your existing sites are making money. If they aren&#8217;t or you are starting out then the best way is to get your hands on some automated site promotion tools.</p>
<p>Site promotion tools can knock hours off of the time it takes to promote a site leaving you more time to do the things you enjoy. Why spend 5 hours submitting your sites RSS feeds to various aggregators when a tool can do it in 8 minutes.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s always much better to work smarter than to work harder!!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you go into any Internet marketing related forum you will read loads of posts about how best to promote your sites and what SEO you should be doing.  Now this may suprise you but 90% of what you read is pure and simply rubbish. People read something in one forum and post it in another without ever testing it out themselves.  This is why you should stop what you are doing right now and conduct your own Website Promotion Exercise.</p>
<p>So what is a website promotion exercise? Simply put it&#8217;s selecting a keyword phrase which doesn&#8217;t have many competing pages and using as many methods as you can think of to get pages ranking for that phrase.</p>
<p>So For example say we took the Phrase &#8220;<strong>Website Promotion Exercise</strong>&#8221; and decided to see if we could get it ranking there are several things you could do.</p>
<p>1. Place a post on some blogs with differing Page ranks and see which ranks higher the highest Page ranked site or the most relevant site. </p>
<p>2. Use clipmarks and twitter and see which brings the best results.</p>
<p>3. Add a squidoo lens and a Hubpage </p>
<p>4. Use services like Zimbo, Gather and Wetpaint and see which one outranks the others.</p>
<p>I could go on but I am sure you get the idea. Only when you&#8217;ve run tests like this will you know exactly what works and what doesn&#8217;t. I would recommend repeating the tests every 6 months or so as google tends to favor certain sites for a while and then move on to others. </p>
<p>To  make it more fun you could challange a friend or group of friends to a competition and see who gets ranked highest.  Give it a go today it will really pay off the next time you build a site.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before I get into this post it&#8217;s time for a rant.  The last post I created I wrote In Microsoft Word and then copied it into the blog post.  I checked it in my default browser (FireFox)and it looked fine.  This morning I happened to open the blog up in Internet explorer and There was a huge problem only half the blog post showed up and nothing else not even a sidebar.</p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t even access the site via IE. Luckily I got in via FireFox and found that Word had added a lot of code to the post and that was causing the problem. Once I removed it it was fine. Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if Microsoft products worked well together!!</p>
<p>So here is a public service announcement. Open office 3 is now available as is Google&#8217;s Chrome browser and FireFox. I used to stand by Microsoft&#8217;s products as the generally worked well and were well supported but recently something seems to have gone a bit wrong.  Office is no longer intuitive and I can&#8217;t find half the functions I need and IE is a complete PIA, every time I try to check my awstats using it I get errors!</p>
<p>So Today I am having an MS free day. I am on my Linux Box, and tomorrow I&#8217;ll be using open office and FireFox or chrome. Just to try to prove to myself that i don&#8217;t need MS.  I also feel a MAC coming on!</p>
<p>Right back to the original reason for this post.  One of the first posts I ever made to  this blog was about my end of month routine (you&#8217;ll find it under the site promotion category). This routine still works well and ensures that very few of my sites fail to make me money.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll reiterate the key point of the original post here.  At the end of each month check the bandwidth usage of all of your sites. Pick the ones with the least usage check them for errors and if you can&#8217;t find any do some promotion on them.</p>
<p>I tend to choose the bottom 5 sites, if after a few months of this a site is still in the bottom 5 I&#8217;ll probably abandon it as it&#8217;s more than likely never going to make me money. Over the space of the 2 years I&#8217;ve been doing this I&#8217;ve only got rid of 2 sites that were complete failures.</p>
<p>Try it for a few months and you&#8217;ll find your income from those sites increases. One site I worked on 2 months ago has since had 2 sales paying $100 for each sale.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking back at the last few posts it seems i&#8217;ve been a bit Negative and &#8220;Preachy &#8221; so to get some balance here is a list of 5 really great tools which will help you get your sites to the next level. The great thing about them is that they are free.  These aren&#8217;t listed in any particular order just whichever order I think of them!</p>
<p>1. Ponyfish  <a href="http://www.ponyfish.com">www.ponyfish.com</a></p>
<p>This is a great tool for creating rss feeds from sites that don&#8217;t have RSS feeds. Obviuosly if you are using wordpress then you won&#8217;t need it (you are distributing your wordpress feeds aren&#8217;t you??)  However on some of my sites I&#8217;ve added a Html page where I can do comparrision reviews. On these pages I use Ponyfish to create an rss feed and then distribute that.</p>
<p>2. Link Diagnosis  <a href="http://www.linkdiagnosis.com">www.linkdiagnosis.com</a></p>
<p>I love this site, give it a url and it will tell you what back links there are, what anchor text they are using and even which links are no follow/do follow via a nice pie chart. I can&#8217;t emphasis just how useful this is if you want to boost your rankings. You can use it on your own site or those of your competitors.</p>
<p>3. Bubbl.  <a href="http://www.bubbl.us">www.bubbl.us</a> I&#8217;ve mentioned this before but it really is a great tool so deserves to be mentioned again. Since i&#8217;ve started to use Bubbl to track my daily tasks , create plans for sites and track site promotion I have increased the income from the sites i&#8217;ve used it on significantly.</p>
<p>4.  Tracking Guru  <a href="http://www.trackingguru.com">www.trackingguru.com</a></p>
<p>This is a great tool to use alongside LinkDiagnosis and Bubbl. It tracks the location of your sites ranking in various search engines for keywords . Allowing you to focus on the poorly performing ones.</p>
<p>For example One of my best performing sites targets 3 keywords  1 is ranked in google at #1 another ranks at #4 and the 3rd ranks at #7.  I can take this information from Tracking Guru, create a plan in Bubble on how to improve the ranking of the 2nd 2 keywords and then monitor the progress of the links and anchor text in Link diagnosis.. And it won&#8217;t cost a single penny.</p>
<p>Obviously you can also use it on competitors sites to see how they are ranking for the keywords link diagnosis found (anchor text)</p>
<p>5.  Ok i am going to cheat here I have a few ideas for tools that could go here but I want to hear from you, what are your favorite free tools? Use the comment link below to give me your suggestions and I&#8217;ll feature the best tools.</p>
