SEO Tip – Are You Isolated?

An isolated node, is a page with no incoming links from the outside world.It happens more often than you think.Most commonly with blog posts, videos and articles.

So if you find a video, page, post,graphic, or anything that links to you,link to it, with a social bookmark or two.That will give the node, the link love it needs to start passing its juice onto you.

(Google stated many years ago, that a page without at least one incoming link doesn’t count.) So just give it one incoming link,and its link juice will count towards you.

Your Wisdom on Twitter

Have you been making pithy posts on Twitter? Heck, you may be full of pith for all I know. 😉

But seriously… Twitter doesn’t plan on keeping a permanent record of what you said. So I suggest you backup your Tweets.

There are several services available. I found this one, exceptionally easy to use.

Where Did Phil Wiley Go?

Veteran marketer Phil Wiley was one of my earliest mentors. His newsletter inspired me to create my own. He was already going strong back in 1999, when I started publishing this one.

Recently he disappeared. If you’re like me, you’ve missed him.

I enjoyed his hypefree writing style. And his take on affiliate marketing..

I wish I could say he’s alive and well,but he’s not. He’s alive and in good spirits. Not well, but putting up a heck of a fight.

Recently Phil told me, “There’s no cure for what I’ve got, but it doesn’t mean I’ll get any worse. Sir Lawrence Oliver got it when he was 67, so if he could handle so can I.”

Good on you Phil!

If you’ve missed Phil like I have, stop by his blog. Give him your support and encouragement. You might want to subscribe to his newsletter while you’re there, because he’s the original that
started it all.

Mobile Marketing

If you’ve been following me on Twitter, you’ve seen me tear into one purported mobile genius after the other. It’s the same load of carp over and over again…

Me on Twitter: http:twitter.com/dmcorp

Their sites look like train wrecks on iOS devices. And because they used Flash, or odd MP4 formats, their videos don’t play on any of the 30 million (and growing) iPod touch, iPods, & iPads out there.Yes… 30 million.

You’d think that someone purporting to be a mobile expert, would at least own an iOS device to proof (check) their work on it.(Grr, Rant, Steam!)

(Note: An exception would be Mobi Blueprint offered by Gauher Chaudhry and Kim Dushinski. In spite of their videos not playing on mobile devices and the poor audio quality in the videos, at least the content is good.)

Recently, my visitors from mobile devices tripled. It used to be around 4% of all visitors. Now it peaks around 12%.

I’m not going to worry about making a mobile only version of my site. If I was doing local mobile marketing like, movie reviews, restaurant specials, texting coupon codes, then it would make sense.

But all I did was make it easier for mobile devices to view my site. Now they spend more time on it.

I trashed my old WordPress themes and went with Thesis. Now when you view my site – even on the iPhone’s small screen – it looks great. The readability is there and all the videos play as well.

If you want to learn more about Thesis,here is my obvious affiliate link.

And if you want to learn how to create videos that play on iPhones, which formats players and codecs to use, you’ll find that treasure, and many others like it,inside the Dynamic Media Vault.

Upgrading WordPress & Themes

Speaking of upgrading WordPress and my theme to Thesis, I didn’t do it myself. I hired CSS sharpshooter, WordPress design Jedi, Amit Savyon to do the work for me.

Amit’s a real pro and it was a pleasure to work with him. So if you’ve been procrastinating about upgrading to the latest WordPress and installing a new theme, get Amit to do it for you.

Even if you have multiple databases,wordpress installs, membership software,all teetering on your domain name, Amit can make short work of it. And if you want to transfer the whole shooting match to another server – like he did for me – he can do that too.

Clickbank Tip

My favorite Clickbank tip is Easy Click Mate (ECM). Instead of having anonymous Clickbank affiliates, you get them to sign up through ECM instead. That way you know who your affiliates are. And you can reward the best ones.

It also allows you to sell multiple products from one Clickbank account.Normally you have to set up a 50 dollar account for each item you want to sell.ECM makes it easy to sell 100 items from 100 different pages, under one single Clickbank account.

My favorite thing about ECM is that it builds PageRank for your site. That’s because affiliates are linking to your site, instead of using Clickbank hop links. Think of it… hundreds of new
incoming links. Imagine what that could do for your rankings?

Is Internet Marketing Dead? (Or are we just tired of all the bull * ?)

There’s been a * storm over the past couple weeks. People launching products they didn’t write. Marketers promoting products they never saw. Marketers from the PPC camp, suddenly claiming to be SEO experts, etc, etc.

I’ve also seen a trend in marketers,trying to distance themselves from the evil * dudes. Yet they still smell like * from earlier associations and their own -less than stellar – products and launches.

It’s almost enough to make me puke…

You can follow the * trail and all the unfolding drama using the url below.But be warned, the discussions are raw and sometimes caustic. And it’s not the only one. Dozens of sites just like it, are springing up, as people have had enough bull *.
