Online marketing with spiritual integrity
On how to succeed on Squidoo, Hubpages, Wizzley and sites like them.
Two months ago, when lensroll disappeared, I had the following exchange with Megan Casey about Squidoo SEO Policy: Katinka Hesselink Disabling lensroll means a big change in the SEO structure of squidoo: that is, people will have to feature lenses they want to promote or use a link list, instead of being able to just [...]

First watch this video by Matt Cutts from Google: Do you recommend article marketing as an SEO strategy? Since I’ve been advising people to do article marketing for ages now, I think I should explain. Matt Cutts says you should NOT do article marketing. I say you should.

HUGE – hubpages will be moving all of it’s authors to their own subdomain, to counter the inpact of Panda: Source You can move all your stuff over to your own subdomain today, manually, or wait till they do it automatically.

On the Wizzley forums people were panicking about Hubpages, thinking the site is dying. Well, since I have a number of articles on hubpages I went and took a look. Doesn’t look like site that’s dying to me. There are a LOT of recently active threads in the forums, more than I’ve ever seen at [...]

I was amazed to read in the last post on the ‘official squidoo blog’ that a lensmaster thought the only disadvantage to not using CSS at all (for a Rocketmom challenge) was not being able to center images. http://blogs.squidoo.com/squidblog/2011 … -optional/ Why was I amazed? It’s not true. There are a few modules that do [...]

I was debating with myself about this one: is this about that the Amazon module needs a fix, or that we should realize that the content in it doesn’t get seen by Google. I decided the latter. So here’s the deal, the ordinary amazon module, the one that gives you a chance to list 5 [...]
