Why I Don’t Follow

Posted on January 4, 2008
Filed Under Blogging advice | 19 Comments

Well, I never followed “the herd,” but this is not really about following other people – it’s about the “do-follow” movement that’s becoming quite popular.

I recently came across some posts and groups discussing the pros and cons of having a do-follow plug-in installed on a Wordpress blog that passes the pagerank to the commenter’s blog.

Here’s Sarah’s take on “no-follow, do-follow” and here’s what Deron Sizemore posted about his thoughts on the do-follow links.

You may also want to check what Darren Rowse had to say in the comments of the latter post.

Just in case you are still undecided whether this product can help you achieve financial freedom, I wanted to show you something:

One of the outstanding qualities of Sitesell is that they continually improve and add new features to the Site Build It package without increasing the price.

Ken Evoy made a post today in the forums highlighting the most important improvements and add-ons Sitesell has implemented this year.

I’ll try to explain a little what each module does. My comment is in the ()…

Last days of December are great to start planning on how to manage your money in the next year.

You’ve made some mistakes this year from which you can learn and you’ve made some right decisions which you can do again. And of course, you can also find great money and finance related blogs out there on the web.

I can’t really say that I am an expert on managing my money (yet) so I tried to find online resources from which I can learn.

Here are some of the best posts on how to manage your money and achieve financial freedom perhaps already in 2008: Read more

Posted on December 24, 2007
Filed Under Blogging advice | 1 Comment

I received a Christmas link today and would like to share 12 more links to other websites.

Here’s how the game goes:

1. Each day until Christmas link to 12 blogs. (different ones each day)

2. Hopefully the spirit of Christmas will create many helpful links from blogger to blogger.

3. Pay it forward if you receive a link from someone sharing the 12 links of Christmas.

Buying Site Build It – Should You Invest $299?

Posted on December 23, 2007
Filed Under Site Build It | 4 Comments

The goal of this post is to help you understand the cost behind Site Build It and why Ken Evoy has decided on this pricing model. Then it’s going to be much easier to decide whether SBI! is for you, or not.

If you are not yet familiar with Site Build It, then follow the link to Sitesell.com (opens in a new window) and take some time to learn what Sitesell offers you with this comprehensive package to start your own online business and journey towards financial freedom.

The cost of the Site Build It package is $299 per year, and this makes it very different from typical web hosting packages where you can pay only $6.95 or $9.95 per month for a reasonably good hosting account.

(Note that paying $9.95 per month still makes it 12 x $9.95 = $119.4 per year.)

This $299 per year often stops people from taking that first step, and there’s a reason for that.

My Pissed Off Response To A Link Exchange Request

Posted on December 21, 2007
Filed Under Blogging advice | 14 Comments

I got an email a few minutes ago asking for a link exchange with one of my sites. My site offers information about everything related to conferencing, has a PR 4 and is listed in DMOZ and Yahoo directory among others.

I usually delete suggestions like you’re about to read but this one really pissed me off and I even spent 2 minutes writing my response to hopefully help this guy get on the right track. (and to release my negative emotions )

Here’s his email:
