Internet Marketing, Make Money Online

Ever since I was a boy I always wanted to be a swash buckling pirate or a medieval knight with a long sword, the ideal of fighting great battles against worthy adversaries has never left me, and of course every film hero carried a knife they could use to free damsels in distress or escape from the clutches of their enemies.

The appeal of Cold Steel Knives has never left me, though these days my need for knives is less about escaping from danger, and more about having a practical use for the knife. Robin Hood and his merry men would use their knives for eating as well as daring escapes, and I do a lot of traveling and working outdoors so a good knife is invaluable.

As well, I'm a writer, although I have to admit no published yet, but I have a lot of good ideas for blockbuster films so it's important I have all the props I need to fuel my imagination. My memories of military service in my teenage years aren't enough anymore, and anyway, I have a genuine need for a good knife.

When you travel or go bush you need a reliable knife for preparing food, and in some places you need it for protection as well, although where I go I mostly need a knife for cutting twigs, twine etc to make my campsite. I've been known to do some hunting in the past, rabbit, possum small birds etc, and believe me you want a great quality knife to make the job easier.

Some people think knives are dangerous and shouldn't be sold, but actually firefighters, paramedics, police officers, and other civilians use knives all the time, and are often used to save lives, like when rescue workers cut web straps from trailers, or seat belts in cars.

One of the things I do in Spain is provide consulting services to people here who want to know how to promote their websites, too many people who own websites are also computer illiterate, it isn't their fault, but it means they have a lot of catching up to do.

I could waste a lot of time showing them how to create squidoo or hubpages, teach them how to blog, encourage them to join forums, but the reality is that none of these promote their business website fast enough. Article submission on the other hand is easy, effective, and a heck of a lot faster.

Article submission can still be time consuming if you write every article from scratch, and of course submitting the article also takes time. Now multiply that by however many article sites you want to join, and the workload becomes unmanageable.

Consequently I spin articles and then use an automatic article submitter, and I gotta tell you this works a treat. In a couple of hours I can write one completely new article, spin it using rewritten phrases, sentences, paragraphs and even synonym swapping, then submit the article to over 100 article directories. That is a huge return on my time investment.

Some of you reading this post will say, "Ah, but spinning never reads well", and I'd say you're doing it wrong! Read More

I've talked in another article about the importance of anchor text in backlinks, actually looking at that article from early 2008 I'm feeling a little awkward even admitting I wrote it, but in the world of SEO a lot of things change, and so have I.

Yup, in two years I've gone from mega SEO fanboy, to really not caring a heck of a lot, let me tell you why. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is more about common sense than anything, and you can optimize the crap out of your pages, but in the end if the other site has more backlinks than you, they're going to beat you in the SERPs.

Sure there are other factors at play like authority, age etc, but in the cold hard light of reality, he who has more and better backlinks wins. This is why it is so important to get those backlinks, and why it is so important to make sure they are phrased in a way that appeals to search engines - coincidentally, this also helps human readers so it's a win/win for everyone. We call that crafting your anchor text. Read More
