SEO Fast Start By Dan Thies – a great free SEO guide!

As you may know Thad and I are finally getting into SEO in a big way.

We’ll always be hardcore adwords nuts but the mini-sites we set up for adwords tend to rank highly in the naturals as well.

Great! Free traffic!

Now, we’re not experts by any means on SEO but we are learning all the time.

Don’t mention the War! I did once but I think I got way with it…

This is the Big One…

England vs. Germany in the final of a major footie tournament.

It doesn’t get much bigger than this!

Just don’t mention the war, OK? LOL!

England have reached the semi-finals of the European Under 21 Championships and play Sweden this evening at 5.00pm UK time.

If they win we could face the Germans in the final. Now, that would be something.

Come on Ing-ger-land!!

I’m stunned and lost for words.

I actually used to have one of those red jackets… I actually used to be able to do the moonwalk.

He was an icon and pioneer. He was my hero (of dance) at the time.

THE world’s greatest dancer period.

MJ – Rip…

The way he made me feel?…

Good! What a thriller…

Ya know every now and again the Thad man surpasses himself. Well, quite often actually.

See, Thad and I live in those really competitive niches, right? And to do that you need a bit of ‘healthy insurance’. Yep, and that’s exactly what we’ve got in Thad himself.

Something of interest to all of us who blog and potentially the wider affiliate marketing community was raised in the Wealthy Affilate forum today.

It’s a pretty complex issue and we’ve already touched upon it on this blog post.

Without repeating it all at length here, there are a couple of articles you might want to look at as well as the FTC draft regulations themselves.

From Yahoo Tech:-

OK, well you should know the vid I’m gonna pop on the bottom of this one, right?

Anyway, there’s a huge fuss going down in the Wealthy Affilate forum and in loads of other IM forums and blogs about an upcoming Squidoo Policy Update.

More details here from the Squids themselves.

I really HATE stock photos (at least the cheap ones). They just suck for the most part and I get nauseous every time I see those lame stock photos of a person with a laptop and their hands up in the air. I’m sure you know which ones I’m talking about, eh?

I also don’t like ripping off other images just to get better photos. So what’s a good solution for good photos for your website, blog, Squidoo lens, Hubpage?

LOL! Finally our friends over at Squidoo have cottoned to the fact that all those orange lenses were… well… a bit orange, YUK!

Well, they have finally got around to adding some themes, including a new default one.

There are 8 in all (including the default):-

• Default
• Gone Camping
• Purple People Eater
• Easy Street
• Moment of Zen
• Paintball
• Highlighter
• The Professor

There’s a bit of debate going on at the moment over in the Wealthy Affiliate forum about bonuses. It kinda came about from someone questioning why anyone would buy a Clickbank product through someone else’s link when they could use their own to get a hefty discount and it was specifically aimed at the IM niche.
