Online marketing with spiritual integrity
It’s always good online to diversify. Especially if you interlink your stuff, it will strengthen your online profile to be active on several publishing platforms at once. Though I’d also advise any of you to start your own niche blog, once you’ve found that niche. The new kid on the block is Wizzley. Of course [...]

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 [...]

(very long post) As I wrote in my previous post: I think Squidoo HQ is making a mistake leaving the forums to be managed by lensmasters (aka volunteers) ONLY. What I want to talk about here is why I’m not optimistic about the future of Squidoo as a social site. First off, when they killed [...]

In another community, very unrelated to Squidoo, I’m known as a bit of a controversial figure, a whistle blower if you will. I guess it’s time to voice my issues with the latest change. To me it feels like we’ve been abandoned. All the changes in the past two months seem to have one aim [...]

I’ve been working on a post comparing Squidoo and hubpages for months now. It kept getting postponed, because Squidoo kept changing on me. In fact, most of my notes on the differences are now moot, because Squidoo has simply bridged the gap. They’ve finally set up granular categories – sure, there’s still lots of fine [...]

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 [...]

When you are trying to make a living online, one of the things we hear a lot of are LINKS. Links are hugely important to getting pages to rank in Google and Bing. However, they’re the hardest thing to get right. I see people worrying about links a lot in the forums and get questions [...]

I’ve been watching Google for years, but this month things are different. They’re simply weird. Some of these changes are probably not new – merely new to the Dutch serps – but since they change the game of online promotion and Search Engine Optimization, I think they should be highlighted here. Two results per domain? [...]

There’s a new rel-nofollow policy out. Where it used to be that pagerank got distributed around all the followed links on a page, now it gets distributed around all the links on the page and what’s on rel-nofollow links just ‘evaporates’ as Matt Cuts puts it in the interview I linked to above. Matt Cuts [...]

Some people never sit still. My grandmother for instance, although she’s now in a wheelchair, is constantly moving about. Half out of the wheelchair, standing up to get something, sitting down again, rolling the chair here, rolling it there. That’s actually very healthy of course: she should keep moving about, as long as she doesn’t [...]
