Online marketing with spiritual integrity
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. The difference is due to a difference [...]

Most of the people who comment on here have done this, but a few haven’t, so I thought I’d remind people: If you want your avatar to show up on wordpress blogs, nine times out of ten what you need is a gravatar account. It connnects your email address (hidden from viewers) with an avatar [...]

I had a panicky email from a fellow squid this weekend who was worried about whether she’d get to stay in the Giant Squid program, after having been accused of problem making on the new squidu forums. It really is unfortunate when people who worry are perceived as rocking the boat. When what they’re doing [...]

Chefkeem at Wizzley shared some great tips for making it online on their forums today. One post he shared was the Noble Samurai videos on web conversion. Web conversion is basically the art of turning traffic into buyers. This post is about how to turn traffic into buyers on affiliate sites. Noble Samurai has published [...]

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 [...]

Well, with me and other prominent squids having deserted Squidu, I guess it’s time to reevaluate on how to keep informed about the best way to make use of the platform. For me, for instance, about half my online income comes from Squidoo (that includes my own affiliate links). I have to stay informed about [...]

A little less than a year ago I wrote a post about the advantages and disadvantages of having several squidoo accounts. This weekend Brenda asked: Katinka, how are you feeling about your second account now? I (we) would love to know…either here or perhaps in a new post. She has a point: a lot has [...]
