If you’ve been using freelancers for outsourcing content, you’ve definitely had your share of poorly written articles that you received.
Here are two quick outsourcing tips to help you minimize the amount of poor quality articles and get much higher quality content written.
1. When using freelancer.com, create a project big enough so that you can select “Very small project” where bids are between $250 and $750.
When you do that, you’ll receive bids from writers with the highest ratings which in most cases produce best articles. Read more
The Power of Momentum

Have you seen the movie Unstoppable? It’s a movie about a huge train gone wild with no one controlling it.
That train had massive momentum and it was very hard to stop.
It is of course also very hard to move such a big mass into movement from static state.
That’s because when an object is static, it is also affected by static friction – compared to the object in movement which is only affected by kinetic friction.
Why the heck am I talking about physics and friction on a blog about internet marketing? 
Because when it comes to productivity, things are almost the same in physics and working from home. Read more

I am sure you know how hard it is to find websites / webmasters who are interested in any kind of cooperation – which might include link exchange or doing business in some other way.
If you just Google your main keywords and start contacting websites one by one you’ll often find a very low response rate to your emails.
So you need to find websites that are interested in cooperation and promotion of their own businesses.
Even without reading further you can probably come up with some ideas on how to find websites who are interested in their own promotion – which you can offer for something in return.

Google has always been improving their algorithm and tried to get rid of low quality and spammy websites in the past.
But since the latest Panda / Farmer algorithm change things may have changed as even sites like ezinearticles.com lost tons of traffic.
This is causing many webmasters to lose trust in Google and worry that Google might penalize more of their sites if they find out about them.
Why would Google penalize more of your sites? Read more
Caught By Google Panda Algo? Some Tips On How To Escape The Panda Claws

You can read about the Google Panda / Farmer algorithm change now almost every day on various SEO blogs and forums.
The problem with all that information is that it’s all speculation. Google wouldn’t really tell what’s going on.
But now they have shared more details and I’ll try to read between the lines and see what they are really saying.
SearchEngineLand posted a summary of Google’s advice so let’s see if we can decipher that advice…
1. “Substantial low quality on a site can cause the rankings for the entire site to decline (even for the high quality pages). Evaluate your web site for poor quality pages (not useful, poorly written, non-unique, or thin) and remove them.”
How does Google measure these things? Keep in mind that although the advice is somewhat vague for a person, it MUST be exactly mathematically defined – since Google is a computer algorithm and not a human. Read more
The Future Of Product Review And Other Affiliate Websites

Google has been waging a war against low quality sites (which may include duplicate content, shallow content, scraped content) since December 2010.
The first changes were not so drastic as only a few webmasters here and there got a shock when they checked their traffic stats. Some even returned to almost previous levels with their traffic after 3 months.
The second wave of cleaning up their index came with the February 9th algorithm change and then the famous Farmer Update happened on February 24th. Many well known sites lost their rankings while some miraculously kept their rankings.
This is just a quick overview of the things currently going on around the Web and what Google is up to – in case you weren’t familiar with them. Read more

When it comes to SEO, title optimization is the key to ranking well. With little imagination, you can actually optimize your title for multiple keywords.
It’s one of those things that are in fact all the time right in front of your nose and yet you can’t see them.
How do you optimize an article for multiple keywords?
Should you use all of them in the URL?
Isn’t an article optimized just for one keyword?

How To Identify High Pagerank Websites On The Links / Resources Pages
Posted on February 24, 2011
Filed Under Recommended | 1 Comment
Have you ever come across a links / resources page that was linking to 20 or more websites and you wanted to know which of those sites have high Pagerank?
You would usually do this if you wanted to get in touch with the other webmasters and establish some kind of cooperation.
Pagerank is a quick way to see how trusted the site is in Google’s view but of course is not the definitive answer. You’d still need to take a look at their estimated traffic and the quality of content. Read more
Don’t Be Fooled By Your Mind Again… Get Things Done.

I’ve shared a simple productivity tip a few days ago at the conference in London. It’s called Do It Now.
All you need to do is to put up a sign Do It Now! above your desk or PC and every time you consider postponing your task, the sign will remind you that you should do it now.
You’ll find that if you just deal with everything that comes at you (emails, to do list, …) immediately, you’ll become very productive.
But soon there were more and more ideas shared on Facebook on which books can help you improve your productivity even more.
But my feeling is that it’s just another trick of our mind. Here’s why… Read more
