How to Write Killer Blog Comments
Good content is king.
The more useful, relevant and unique it is, the more likely it will connect with its intended audience.
So why don’t people keep this in mind when commenting on blogs?

I used to reply with a quick comment [...]
Use Adobe PhotoShop for Free!
Adobe launched a free, Web-based version of their software this week. It’s called PhotoShop Express (Beta).
Now you can manipulate your images online for use on your website, blog, FaceBook profile, etc.

I just did a trial run. It’s very easy to use [...]
The Next MySpace?

How to Create an Online Traffic Jam
I was checking my blog stats last week and noticed quite a few visitors from www.trafficjam.com.
I wasn’t sure how one of my blog posts got to the top of the page, so I read their “About” page.
Turns out, BlogRush was the culprit.
Apparently my post about the $8,000 SiteSell check received quite a bit of attention [...]
Why Many Affiliate Websites Fail
While there are several reasons some affiliate websites never get off the ground, here’s a few reasons I believe many people struggle with affiliate marketing…
SiteSell Sent Me $8,268.35 Last Month
Am I flashing my SiteSell affiliate check in your face to brag?
No, not at all.
When it comes to telling other people how to make money online, it’s all about credibility.
And if can’t prove you’re actually profiting, then you sort of get lumped in with all the other “how-to-make-money” sites that leave people wondering if [...]
Is Google Spying On You? Probably!
Getting ranked #1 in Google for those heavily searched, relevant keywords is the dream of every Webmaster.
And if you’ve been around for a while, you know that task is not as easy as it once was.
