• How to delete unsubscribed contacts in Aweber

  I just used the Live Chat facility in Aweber to try and find out how to delete my huge numbers of unsubscribed contacts in my Aweber account. I now seem to be paying $10 a month to store a load of spammers addresses! Here is my chat…
  Rick: about unsubscribes

• Wordtracker Pro version FREE for 7 days

  You are probably aware that I am a real fan of Wordtracker as a
  Keyword Research tool.
  The only downside to it, is that it is a little expensive for
  people starting out.
  Myself, I happily buy Wordtracker for a whole year, because I use
  it every single day…however…
  You don't have to buy it! Try the Pro Version for 7 [...]

• Lykke Li MP3

  Yesterday I was experimenting with using a Blogger Blog with my own domain name, and this worked fine. I called the domain www.lykkelimp3.com with the intention of focusing it around the phrase 'lykke li mp3'. My main intention was to sell MP3s of Lykke Li's music, so I went to Amazon Partners to look at [...]

• Free web hosting using Blogger

  I have just decided to try and market some music by the Swedish singer Lykke Li, so I bought a domain name www.lykkelimp3.com with the intention of just forwarding it to an Amazon Lykke Li MP3 download offer. But then it occoured to me that I had bought a domain name with GoDaddy, so I [...]

• What to do with your unused domains

  My friend Carole from Ski Studio Alps sent me an email yesterday saying:

  In a moment of madness I bought these domains last year, do you think any of
  them are worth keeping and if so do you want to do anything with any of them
  that could benefit us both if I renew them??

  Dear Carole Ward,

• Traffic Assistants Review

  I decided to use Traffic Assistants at the beginning of 2008 on the advice of “traffic guru”, Howie Schwartz. Howie’s strategy involves building a network of web 2.0 properties and linking them to each other and also to your ‘money page’. Each property is linked to your money page or offer. Each property is based [...]

• What is Twitter?

  I’m sure you’ve probably read a blog, received an instant messenger, got an invite or something that has to do with Twitter in the last couple months right? You’re also probably wondering, what the heck “Twitter” is and how in the world can anything like that benefit your marketing efforts or internet business blog. This [...]

• Lee McDerment Twitter

  I'm still trying to get my head around all these new microblogging platforms like Twitter. So I did a bit of keyword research using Wordtracker and by searching for Twitter I soon realised that one of the largest search volumes was for 'Lee McDerment Twitter' - I did a bit of research and found out [...]

• Is it worth buying variations on a domain name?

  I could answer this in one word, NO!
  I mean - say I had registered www.micro-soft.net years ago, would it be a threat to www.microsoft.com? No of course not! It would have been some geeky poxy blog or something with sod all to say, versus one of the richest wealthiest companies in the World.
  Similarly you get [...]

• Mortgage Protection Insurance on Technorati

  It is very strange that I have two similar sites, both selling mortgage payment protection insurance, the difference being:

  UK Mortgage Protection - I have looked after very carefully making careful original blog posts, doing press releases and more ….
  UK Insurance Online - which I have neglected heavily until yesterday

  So which one is doing best? Well [...]

• What is a blog?

  I've been merrily getting people to use Rick Butt's book, 'Monetize Your Blog', when all of a sudden someone asked me "'What is a blog?".
  A blog is essentially a web log. This used to be for teenage agirls to write about everything they did on a daily basis with no real use.  These days blogs [...]

• BiggItUp.com gets a page rank

  I know the deal is these days for people not to look at Google Page Rank, but I still think it is important especially with a site with lots of outgoing links like this. In any case the whole point of a social bookmarking site like biggitup.com is that people submitting stories to it will [...]
