Well I just couldn’t do it. I couldn’t stay quiet about Market Samurai. I’ve been using it for a long time now, almost daily. Before I had MS, I did everything manually. First I would go to adwords tool, then I would put the keyword in Google and check some things with SEOQuake. Then I would go and analyze the title, url, and description to see if the keyword was there. Then I would have to go off to site explorer on Yahoo to analyze the backlinks manually. What a waste of time. Seriously, this whole process would take me forever to find decent keywords.
So, what does MS do? It does all that stuff and more automatically. The keyword research module obviously investigates keywords, but it displays the number of searches in a much better way. It shows per day and the number of clicks you might expect if you were ranked #1 for that keyword. There’s actually so much more there as well, like OCI (worth of the keyword) and broad versus exact. In the SEO competition module it even color codes how bad the competition is with green, yellow, and red. There’s no need to EVER analyze the…

I think that people are really confused about how to properly monetize their blog. The truth of the matter is it will take some time to set up properly. In fact, it’s really not going to be that easy at all, and believe it or not, it doesn’t even have to do with your content. (I mean if it’s total crap the conversion rates might be low 
) Here’s a short explanation of how I feel you could properly monetize a blog in any niche.
First of all you need a traffic source. No I’m not talking about crappy Entrecard, untargeted, rubbish traffic that’s not worth ANYTHING. How do you get the good traffic?
Well, you can go the Adsense route and just pay for your traffic. Wait! Pay for traffic? Are you insane? We’ll get to this later. You’re actually not going to be losing money if you set things up correctly. Adsense is not something to play with or take lightly. I’ve heard a lot of horror stories across the net of how people lost tons of money by not optimizing campaigns correctly. I’m not going to go into full fledged detail about adsense, that would take forever, and there’s…

I did a little research before buying this keyboard, I was wondering what the difference was betwen the Saitek Eclipse II and the Saitek Eclipse. Apparently the only real difference is that the Saitek Eclipse II has different LED colors you can choose. So, I decided to just go with the Eclipse since blue elimination is all I wanted anyway.
Getting down to it, I basically just plugged it in and it was auto-detected by Windows XP, and lit up right away. As far as looks go, it’s pretty sleek. I was more interested in overall comfort though, and this keyboard seems to be delivering me plenty of comfort with the wrist wrest at the bottom. I type A LOT so comfort is pretty important. I didn’t want any ergonomic keyboard, I’m too used to the “regular” keyboard layout to bother with anything fancy. The keys feel pretty nice and responsive. Another thing that’s nice is it blends really well with the rest of my desktop. My computer case (the Antec 900) glows blue pretty heavily, the other color being black. My mouse is black, my mousepad is black, my LCD screens are black, my speakers are black, so yea it…

For one, I don’t have time to drop on Entrecard, and I really think it’s a waste of time. I have a lot of other things to do that are actually worth my time. Not anything against the Entrecard community, I’ve stated a few times that I like to connect with other bloggers out there, but I really just don’t have the time. Now my focus is more on search engine traffic. If they like my blog maybe they’ll subscribe. I’m not going to show my stats on the side like a lot of bloggers, with their 1,000 subscribers or whatever. I don’t do this for subscribers, I don’t do it for anyone. I do it for my enjoyment, and after awhile I just didn’t enjoy dropping on Entrecard so I stopped.
As I said, I do enjoy blogging about this and that here and there so that’s why the posts keep coming
Entrecard really doesn’t interest me anymore – I mean look at some of the top blogs on there they have some serious OCD over Entrecard. In my opinion, it’s like artificially inflating your stats. People are only subscribing and posting comments all the time because you’re on top…
