Simple Wordpress Static Home Page

8 February, 2010 (23:03) | Simple Static Home Page | By: Rick


It used to take a bit of work to make a Simple Wordpress Static Home Page.

With the newer releases of Wordpress it has become a simple couple of clicks in your Dashboard.

  • Click on Dashboard
  • Click on Settings
  • Click on Reading
  • on the line that reads “Blog pages show at most” change the 10 to one.
  • Go back to your Dashboard and edit the post you want to be your home page. Open your desired page then edit “Visibility: Public” by clicking on the “Stick this post to the front page” box.
  • Save the page

You now have a static home page website.  I like to change the 10 post to two or three instead of One which will show the last couple of articles you posted after the sticky page you set as your home page.

Here is another way to get a Wordpress Static Home Page.

Jon Leger and The Best Article Spinner

29 January, 2010 (21:48) | Article Spinning, The Best Spinner by Jon Leger | By: Rick


What is the Best Spinner?

Article rewriting has been around for a long time. Quite simply you write an article and then go back and rewrite the content by selecting alternative words and phrases that may be made use of rather than the original word. Next the software program rewrites the content with the different terms you selected at random. This is the actual Content Spinning Sofware that I currently utilize.

Fully Automated Spinning

The problem with utilizing fully automatic spinning is the results are awful. Words and phrases will end up being in the wrong tense and the article will not flow. A lot of phrases will be within the page that simply don’t fit. Frequently the article will not be understandable.

The Best Spinner is not completely automated spinning.

The Best Spinner is human spun. This is Not Fully Automated Spinning. All of the words will be chosen by the Human that is spinning the content. Only words and phrases which blend properly into the sentence are to be chosen. The Best Spinner is the best integration of a thesaurus into a spinning spinning program which i have worked with. You have to watch this video tutorial to find out what I mean. The Best Spinner Video.

Mouse or Keyboard Spinning

This is a very easy to use mouse clicking content spinner or a keyboard command spinner. By that I mean you paste your document into the The Best Spinner after which you can virtually work through the spinning process simply by highlighting and clicking with your mouse. You are able to do most every thing with just your keyboard also. It is very ergonomically built to be quick and also efficient. The Mouse interface is very fast to make use of.

My Weapon of Choice

Spinning computer software can be your secret weapon. I have worked with three different article spinners in the last four years. I have put quite a bit of time into re-writing articles and reviews. It has worked well. I have virtually thousands of content articles distributed throughout the web with back links pointing at my money sites. Many of these articles were spun before I posted them. Or at the very least some of the subject matter of almost all of my articles was content spun.

The Best Spinner has changed my Spinning

I have always made use of my spun articles as ammo. I will generate several articles on one of my topics and spin all of them. I title most my paragraphs and attempt to keep my paragraph to three or four sentences. I spin and rewrite these articles one at a time and then add them to my monster spin.
Before The Best Spinner I did not employ content spun articles right from the content spinner. I would add links and photos following the rewrite. Now I include pictues and links in the spin. This saves me a ton of time while placing articles.

My Spinning Article Production

I will come up with a search term for an article and create and article about it. Then I add images as well as links in to the article and post it on the Money Site. My next step is I copy this article into “TheBestSpinner.com.” I spin the article, save the “Spin Text” to my personal “Home site” in a private Wordpress web page and start re-writing and publishing the article on multilple web sites. This article was content spun using The Best Spinner.

As of this writing Jon Leger’s “The Best Spinner” is just being released. I was involved as a part of the testing crew while in Beta and it has changed my spinning totally.

Sign up for my newsletter at Build a Wordpress Website and I will send you a free action plan on my technique for using the Best Spinner.

I nearly exclusively create pages on Wordpress websites therefore I rewrite in Wordpress HTML. I think in Wordpress. I store all my ideas on Wordpress private posts.

How to get Banned while posting at Forums

15 January, 2010 (06:02) | Comment linking, Website Linking, Your Forum Signature | By: Rick


Here are a couple of tips on how to get banned.

Sign up for the forum and build your profile.  Put several links in your profile and make some comments in the forum.  Then go back and change your signature and add different links.  This will change the links on all the previous posts to your new signature.

Then go back and change your links again and make more comments.

This seems to bring up a red flag when you keep changing the links in your signature.

The Warrior Forum Banned Me
I did not think too much of this until I tried to use the same profile that was banned at the Warrior forum to sign up for another unrelated forum.  I was banned from that forum before I even registered.  If you get an identity banned do not try to use it again.  Do not use the username or the email address again.

What to do if you get Banned
First you will want to erase the cookies on your computer.  Then you will want to unplug your internet access modem.  With DSL if you turn it off and then back on in a couple of minutes you will get a new address.  Withthe  Bresnan service I have been using lately it has to be off for an hour or overnight before it changes my IP address.

Then do not use the Banned email or Username again.  They will associate your new IP with the old banned profile.  Getting your profile banned will get your email banned at other forums also.  How do I know this?  Some automated software I was using got several of my email addresses on some sort of Spammer Ban List.

The solution is to not get banned in the first place.  Go slow with making comments just a couple the first time you are there and then just a few the next time you are at the forum.

Build New Identities
I do not post a lot with an identity.

The Best Article Spinner by Jon Leger

15 January, 2010 (02:53) | Article Spinning, Jon Leger | By: Rick


I have used a couple of the free article spinners available online.  I have built a lot of pages with these spinners. I have a lot of hours tied up spinning articles.  This newThe Best Spinner from Jonathan Leger works much better than any of the other spinners I have used.

My Paragraph Spinning Strategy
My strategy has been to spin detailed paragraphs about the niche I am working on.  I title all the paragraphs and spin the title also.  Then I save these spun paragraphs in a single file.  When I am writing an article I will often grab one of these paragraphs and add it to my article.  This gives more meat to my articles and I end up getting all my articles over 500 words.  I delete the spun paragraph from my file as I use it.

In using the The Best Spinner.com Beta version I found that my spun articles came out better than the spinning I had been doing before.  I do not have to polish the article from this new spinner.

Check out this video on The Best Spinner.

Warning
Do not get lazy.  I am especially diligent while spinning articles.  The example with Jonathan spinning is not how I do it.  I work on each word to make the sentence work well.  The mistakes (wrong tense or improperly pluralizing a word) or whatever will multiply all over the web as you publish this spin over and over.

After my first Spin
I will read my first resulting spin very carefully.  I will go over the first five or so with a fine tooth comb.  This is how you get better at spinning.  I do not want the reader to be able to tell that I have spun the article.

In short I like this new spinner a lot.  I will continue to use it.  If I did not own it I would buy it for the $97 per year price.  In the last week  aloneI have spun six articles and posted well over 200 articles.  I could not have done this without The Best Spinner.com

The Best Spinner.com

Forum Linking continued

14 November, 2009 (23:01) | Forum Linking, Your Forum Signature | By: Rick


I have recently begun spending time building forum links to several of my sites. I really like high PR rank forums that have a lot of activity. These do not need to be in the same area as the website you are promoting.

Forums Comment Posting–
I like the really large forums because your individual posts are not scrutinized. Some of the smaller forums will look at all of your posts to see what is up. The larger forums you are pretty much anonymous.

Some of the smaller forums the owners–administrators are really against us putting in links. Go to the next forum when this happens.

Change Your Forum Signature

You can start by making comments without a Forum signature.  Then when you add a signature later you the forum will add your link to all the pages that you have made posts on.

I have started to always add a couple of comments on the forum after I have signed up and gotten my website in the profile page. I usually put a couple of different websites in the signature page.

Great articles on Blogging

Here is a link to a great article and I read all of these blogs—usually when I am linking to a new site—all the sites have a ton of traffic and the links show up quickly. I only link twice to a website from a blog—Sometimes I will come back and get more but i believe after the first two links from one site the rest are ignored.

http://www.viperchill.com/important-blogging-analysis/

After you read an article on one of these sites put up a link to one of your sites, then read another article and put up another link to that site, if you read another article put up another link but make it to a different website. All of the websites he talks about in this article are top of the heap.

Finding Forums
How do I find Forums to sign up for and post comments in.  First I just do a quick Google search and put “Bicycle Forum” or” Rodeo Forum” or” Skiing Forum”  as the search.  Then I take the top PR forum on the first page of the results and sign up.

What about Spam Comments on your Blog?

5 November, 2009 (01:51) | Website Linking | By: Rick


Toss them.

Always mark spam comments as Spam and delete them.
Most of the spam comments go to websites you do not want to be linked to.  One of the ways Google rates a Blog is how well you control spam in your comments.  It is a simple thing for them to watch and they know if you are allowing a lot of spam comments you are not tending your website.

Google will not knock down your rating for ugly sites linking to you

Any Links going from your site to a Bad site will be held against you because you can control it.  –Control is a wonderful thing isn’t it?—  You are rated by the companies that you keep (you link to).

You can make comments and link them to this forum, any of your friends websites.  You only want your links going to family friendly websites.  I have over thirty sites you can link to anytime you want—lol—

Delete all comments that you do not know are going to safe websites.  You can put a Captcha in there so it has to be a human to even leave a comment.  Turn on Akismet from Wordpress and most of the automated spam will be eliminated.

Using Niche Horde, Niche Groups

20 October, 2009 (14:41) | Jon Leger, Niche Horde | By: Rick


Niche Horde

Using the Niche Groups function in Niche Horde

I am always clicking on the “Niche Groups” link up on top. After Clicking the “Niche Groups” link up on the top of the page you will see four links . count, avg bid, avg soc,

What is the “count” column? This is the number of keywords in the Niche Group. To see all the keywords in this group click on the

What is the “avg bid” $ column? It is the highest bid in Google when the research on this word was done. This will change over time and can change significantly in a short period of time. This number is just a rough guiding number.

What is the “avg soc” column? This is the average SOC of all the keywords in the group. In the group mode this number doesn’t mean much but is very important when you are looking at individual keywords.

What is SOC? When looking at a single keyword it is the number of pages in the Google index that have a link to them with the keyword in the anchor text of the link. This is a good indicator of how competitive a particular keyword will be to get into the top 10 in the search results.

What is “search volume” column Again this column does not mean much in group mode but when looking at individual keywords it is an approximation of the number of searches done monthly in Google for this keyword.

This is a picture of Niche Horde after clicking Niche Group and then clicking on the count total showing the largest niche in Niche Hoard at this point which is Apartments.

What I love to do in Niche Horde

  • I click on “Niche Groups”
  • Then I click on “avg bid.”
  • Then I scroll down through the keywords to one with either several keywords or with a keyword that interest me.
  • Then I click on the keyword and look at the rest of the keywords in the list. I want keywords with less than a 200 SOC and over a $2 bid in Google adwords. I have more niches to work on than I will ever even start.

I have found too many good niches to work.  I have never been in this situation before, I have always struggled to find good niches to work on.

Now What? Make a quick jump over to Bluehost and set up hosting. Buy a Domain Name that includes the words in your Niche–I like Bluehost because you can host 100 Wordpress sites on one account for around $7 a month (better deal if you buy two years at a time).

Set up a Wordpress Website on your domain.

Build pages on each of your keywords.

add adsense to your pages.

Add affiliate links to your site.

Then build links to your website,  I might add Jon Leger’s 3 way links is a very simple program that takes ten minutes or less to set up per website and will get you 50 links per site.  You can add up to 50 websites on one 3WL account.  It is the easiest way to get a good base of links to your sites.

I have some great tips on building links

* I believe that Niche Horde by Jon Leger will be another very popular program. At $97 a year (Less than $8.50 a month) it is very well priced for the value. As always there is a 30 day moneyback guarantee.*

The Jonathan Leger Strategy to building Web Sites

12 October, 2009 (12:51) | Jon Leger, MyWay Links, Niche Horde, One Way links, Three Way Lihks | By: Rick


I am a big fan of Jon Leger.  Let me first say that I think making money online is very simple if you are willing to learn and work.  Here are the keys to Website Success .

Website Success Steps

  • Find Niche.
  • Research and write about niche.
  • Build website with articles.
  • Build links to those web pages.

When you boil it down it is really quite simple.  Jonathan Leger has a very solid strategy to help you build web sites.  He has built a program to cure any weakness you might have.  Even if you do not have a website building weakness he can speed up the process for you.  The programs he has built are Niche Horde (a very easy to use Niche Group finder), Answer Analyst(a great research assitant), Three Way Links (his first and still very powerful website linking system), One Way Links (another very powerful way to get 750 links to your sites every month), and My Way Links (a great way to get High ranking sites to link to your pages and still keep control of your site and the links on your site).

Finding your Niches

Jon has recently released a new program called Niche Horde that will find great niches for you.  There are several things you want in a good niche.

  • First of all there must be money being spent in the niche.
  • Second you want reasonable search traffic in the niche.
  • Third you want as little competition in the niche as possible.
  • Also if there are related keywords in the same niche that you can pursue with the same website that is even better.

Niche Horde does all of those things very quickly and easily.  You can do all your keyword research in one program.  It costs $97 a month year.  Not $39 a month but less than $8.50 a month on a yearly basis.  Within five minutes of buying the program I had figured it out how I could use it.  I had keyword lists for several different websites withing forty five minutes.  This program is amazing.

Sometimes you find things that you are looking for just as you need them.  I have always spent a lot of time building keyword lists for websites.  Niche Horde does it almost the same way I did it by hand but it is a thousand times faster.

Building Your Websites

The steps to building a website are very simple.  Get Web hosting, I am a big fan of Web Hosting from BlueHost and  Host Monster because both offer 100 MYSql databases per account.  This means if you are using Wordpress you will be able to host 100 domains on one account.  When you have fully built out this host you will be paying under 60 cents a website for hosting per month year.

Learn Wordpress

There is a huge community of developers working on Wordpress and building little extra plugins and themes.  The program is so easy for anyone to learn and prosper with it.   I have tried to build some sites in HTML without much success.  The ability to use Wordpress like a word processor and build pages is awesome.  Here is a link to a website with a lot of Wordpress Website Building Tips.

Building Web Pages

Once you have your niche you need to research and build web pages.  Answer Analyst is a the simple program Jonathan Leger came up with to help you build pages.   It is very powerful at helping you research your niche.  You can easily build pages without AA.

Researching for Articles

While I am researching to build a web page I will write down titles of paragraphs I am going to put in a page.  I will often come up with a dozen or more paragraph titles.   I will then come back and write the paragraphs.  Most of my pages are around 300 to 500 words.

My Writing Style

I like writing two to four sentence paragraphs.  I will then write on all of these titles and make the page into several pages.   I will use some of these paragraphs in Articles on my websites and some of the paragraphs in articles for Ezine Articles and other Directories.  I like a lot of space between paragraphs to break up the page.

I use the Heading 2 for titles to my paragraphs.  On a sub paragraph heading I will normally just Bold the subtitle.

Building Links to your websites

The steps to building links are a little different.  The most common ways that you can link to your site is with article marketing, or from blogs or from forums.  I have written several articles on building links.  Jon Leger has built a couple of very effective programs to automatically build quality links to your sites.  One Way Linking and Three Way links are both very effective link building programs.

What is Niche Horde by Jonathan Leger?

11 October, 2009 (06:12) | Finding a Niche, Jon Leger, Niche Horde, ezine articles | By: Rick


What is Niche Horde by Jonahtan Leger?
It is a web based system that discovers and processes your niche analyses while you sleep.  It is an online niche analyser.  You put in the niche you are interested in and Niche Horde will search for and analyze keywords.  As it is searching for your words it is building a database.

Do you have problems deciding on the  Niche you want to pursue?  So you have problems finding juicy high paying adwords keywords to work on that do not have much competition?  Jon Leger has solved your problem.  Jon is a very well known website builder and programmer.  He has built several Very successful internet marketing programs.  There are a few common links between all of Jonathon’s programs.  They are all designed to help you make money with your websites.  He is a master at building links and has three popular programs 1 way links, my way links and three way links.  Another of his more popular programs is Answer Analyst and is  designed to help you build web pages.

Two Days with Niche Horde

After two days with Niche Horde I am a happy camper.  The interface is simple.  After playing around with it for five minutes I knew how I was going to use it.  I have several website Domains that I have not developed.  I created keyword lists for all of my unbuilt websites.  I have also built several keyword lists for different niche websites that I will attack.

Niche Horde is a very powerful niche finding software.  You can quickly build the keyword list for your sites.–Rick–If you are having any issues finding a Niche this is the Cure.

This screenshot shows Niche Horde in Niche Groups Mode.  The options available are Latest Niches, Search Niches, Niche Groups, Support Forum up on top.

As you can see on the bottom of the screenshot the headings “group, count, avg bid, avg soc, search volume are also clickable.  This will organize the list from highest to lowest and click again and it will organize it by lowest to highest.  Also iyou can click on the individual item in group.  You can also click on apartment, xbox 360, coupons.  This will show you all 382 niche keywords in Niche Hoard under apartments.  I really like that I can look at niches in Niche Horde and then burrow down and look at the other related niche keywords that Niche Horde has found.

Here is a link to the Niche Hoard by Jonathan Leger Preview Video

How much does Niche Hoard cost?

An annual cost of Niche Horde $97 a year.

Comment by Rick  “I have purchase Niche Horde and I am amazed at the simplicity of the program.  The learning curve is very short.   This program is so powerful and quick to use to build keyword lists for websites.  Sometimes things we really want come along just when we need them.  If you are struggling with ideas for a website or how to find a niche Niche Horde has come along at just the right time.”

**************Here is some information from Jonathan Leger’s Blog:

“What are the system requirements?

The software requires a Windows computer (98/ME/XP/Vista) that has the .NET Framework 2.0 installed (most already do). I’m sorry, but it won’t run on a Mac.

How big is the database of keywords?

With only a few dozen beta testing users, the database achieved 32,000+ keywords in its first 16 hours of operation. That should give you some idea of how quickly the database will reach into the millions of keywords, with thousands of available niche markets.  Less than a week after release the keyword list is now over 2,500,000 (10/17/2009).

How does the database grow?

Niche Horde is continually fed new keywords to analyze and expand by finding related keywords. It’s fed new keywords by users, and by other outside sources that continually grow the database. So the database actively grows and expands without any work on the part of its users.

How is the Search Optimised Competition (SOC) number determined?
The number of competing sites is determined by querying Google for the number of results that 1) have the keywords in the title and 2) have the keywords in links coming into the page. Those are your only real competition. Sites that only have the keywords in the title or in the body of the page, but have no links into those pages containing the keywords, aren’t real competition.”

**************

I believe that Niche Horde by Jon Leger will be another very popular  program.  At $97 a year (Less than $8.50 a month) it is very reasonably priced.  As always there is a 30 day moneyback guarantee.

My recommendation  Buy Niche Horde—Rick

What I hate about Niche Horde:

I have to actually build the websites that I now have keyword lists built for.  I am in overdrive trying to get sites built.
