Well those days are gone because John Leger, has created the ultimate and best content spinner ever made.</p>
<p>I am not going to go into the particulars of having this kind of tool in your Internet marketing arsenal, as those of us who have been around know quite well how useful and how much of a time saver this can be to <a title="How To Use PLR and 1000 Free PLR Articles" href="http://getinternetmarketingstrategies.com/2008/11/1000-free-plr-articles-and-free-duplicate-content-tool/" target="_blank">properly utilize PLR articles</a> and for other various uses, such as article marketing. In the big picture, this certainly will have multiple benefits.</p>
<p>For best results, always be thorough in the spin and make sure you don't start with crap, because no matter how good the spinner, you will end up with crap. Remember that traffic and users of your sites matter, and not just the Search Engines, so you have to provide content for both.</p>
<p>You can always check out the results in Copyscape to be sure that the content is fresh and unique.</p>
<p>The <strong><a target="_blank" href="https://paydotcom.com/r/95330/genuwine4532/26095094/" target="_blank"><strong>Best Content Spinner</strong></a></strong>, really is the best! All the other crap spinners that are out there and cost a lot more cannot compare to this useful, easy to use and fast tool!</p>
<p>All I can say is finally, this is the Spinner all us marketer have been waiting!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>For those who are going to scream at me about their flagship blogs and main sites, this content spinning tool is not meant to spin content on those types of sites.</p>
<p><strong>The Best Spinner Features</strong></p>
<p>1. No need to think up synonyms, it offers a drop down menu with tons of choices to replace words and phrases.</p>
<p>2. No need to insert coding and spin syntax, it does it automatically.</p>
<p>3. There is a replace feature, so you can replace words and phrases when you only need one rewrite of content.</p>
<p>4. The syntax coded version offers unlimited inserts of synonym words and phrases. You can choose one word, or a whole phrase or even a sentence to spin.</p>
<p>5. Produces all spun variations as well as spin syntaxed (coded) copies.</p>
<p>6. One click quick selection of synonyms</p>
<p>7. Unlimited nested spinning</p>
<p>8. You can edit and make changes manually within the spinning console</p>
<p>9. Easy save and exporting to clipboard</p>
<p>10. Word count and uniqueness percentages</p>
<p>11. Support for Spanish, German and other languages</p>
<p>12. A newly added article directory where you can submit articles that other members can post to their sites for backlinks!</p>
<p><strong>AND</strong></p>
<p>13. You can now <strong>post articles directly to your WordPress blogs from the spinner</strong>, and unique versions of it to several blogs</p>
<p><strong>plus</strong> a members forum where the developer is active and offers on going support</p>
<p>and tons more features...</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="https://paydotcom.com/r/95330/genuwine4532/26095094/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2811" title="The Best Content Spinner" src="http://getinternetmarketingstrategies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Spinner-Image1.bmp" alt="The Best Content Spinner" width="527" height="395" /></a></p>
<p>Truly this is the best content spinner I have ever seen and what all marketers have been waiting for and I urge you guys to try it out.</p>
<p>The regular price is $87 per year, but right now you can still try it for $7 for 7 days and take it for a full test run.</p>
<p>Check out the <strong><a target="_blank" href="https://paydotcom.com/r/95330/genuwine4532/26095094/" target="_blank"><strong>Video of the Spinner in Action</strong></a></strong>, and try it before the price goes back up. Believe me you guys will be just as amazed as I was.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div align="left" style="float: left; padding: 0px 5px 5px 0px;"><a name="fb_share" type="button_count" share_url="http://getinternetmarketingstrategies.com/2012/01/plugin-to-automatically-add-seo-alt-tags-to-images-in-wordpress/"></a></div><div name="googleone_share_1" style="position:relative;z-index:5;float: left; margin-left: 10px;"><g:plusone size="standard" count="1" href="http://getinternetmarketingstrategies.com/2012/01/plugin-to-automatically-add-seo-alt-tags-to-images-in-wordpress/"></g:plusone></div><p>Making sure that all the images you place inside your WordPress posts and pages are properly SEO'd is important because images can be a great source of traffic to any site. Search engines cannot read image files and so an ALT tag needs to be placed to describe the image with related keywords.</p>
<p>It's a fact that using and inserting images in WordPress can be a big hassle. With WordPress 3.3.1 images are easier to add to galleries and into posts because you can just drag them from your PC files directly into the image editor in WordPress and then easily access them from post to post. But, adding ALT tags to images for SEO is still a pain because you have to manually type in the words into the image editor for each and every picture before adding the picture to the post.</p>
<p>Often it's easy to forget to add the ALT tag and so the images provide no SEO value to your blogs, and doing it manually is a pain and takes time.</p>
<p>The free <a target="_blank" href="http://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/wordpress-plugins/seo-friendly-images" target="_blank">SEO Friendly Images plugin for WordPress</a> automatically adds ALT tags to images based on your individual Post Titles and you can choose from several settings. This plugin is an easy set it and forget for adding ALT tags for SEO to WordPress images.</p>
<ul>
<li>This plugin also adds a Title tag to images which appears when visitors mouse over it, this is a nice touch, and is also automatic.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Another great feature is that it will retro add all ALT and Title tags to any images you may have missed  from old posts according the options you set.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>And, the SEO Friendly Images plugin also makes the posts W3C/xHTML valid, which is another important aspect of SEO.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/wordpress-plugins/seo-friendly-images" target="_blank">Download the SEO Friendly Images plugin for WordPress plugin from the developers site here</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Heads Up - Godaddy Sale for Limited Time</strong></p>
<p>Also I wanted to let everyone know that <a href="http://getinternetmarketingstrategies.com/shop-Godaddy" target="_blank">GoDaddy</a> is having a sale for .com's. They are only $5.99 for a limited time and it's a max of 5 per customer.</p>

<h2><span style="font-size: large;">What Is Jiffy Articles And How It Creates Unique Website Content And Articles</span></h2>
<p>Jiffy Articles is a great tool to create unique content fast, I can write 600 word articles in 5 minutes with it.</p>
<p>Basically it gives you an article template based on the category you select and keywords you may enter, that is filled with snippets that you can then rewrite and add more info to. This is much easier than writing content from scratch because Jiffy Article writers have done a lot of the research and all you have to do is build on it, so easy and much more fun than writing from scratch.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" href="http://paydotcom.net/r/114692/genuwine4532/26936322/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Check out the video of Jiffy Articles in action, it really is amazing and very unique from any other content software on the web</span></strong></a></p>

<p>Jiffy Articles can be used to create unique content for websites, blogs, promotions, article marketing, blog networks, and all the various places where we need to have unique and original content and articles in Internet Marketing.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Have Articles Written For You</strong></span></p>
<p>Another cool feature of Jiffy Articles is when you are short on time you can order an article to be written for you.</p>
<p>Just select from one of the thousands of templates (keywords and topic based) and order at 1 cent a word, that means $3 or 300 words, $5 for 500 words..etc. The turn around time is amazing, I ordered a 500 word article and got it back in 3 hours, the quality was excellent, well researched and well written.</p>

<p>Basically what happens is that thieves go over and Right Click on images, select Copy Image Location and then use that link to place the images on their own sites. This means that YOU are hosting your own images on THEIR site, and so your bandwidth is being used.</p>
<p>Also, using the Right Click on images function they can steal your images by selecting Save Image As or Copy Image.</p>
<p>To protect your images on WordPress blogs from theft and protect your precious bandwidth on hosting use the <a target="_blank" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/no-right-click-images-plugin/" target="_blank"><strong>No Right Click Images plugin</strong></a>!</p>
<p>This great plugin is easy to use, just activate and it's done, no settings to play with, all it does is disables the Rick Click MENU from images on your blog.</p>
<p>VERY COOL!!!</p>

<p>GASP stands for <a target="_blank" href="http://www.growmap.com/growmap-anti-spambot-plugin/" target="_blank">GrowMap anti-spambot plugin</a> and works by placing a small check box in the submit comments area of blogs that simply states: <em>Confirm you are NOT a spammer</em>, you can see it in my comments section below. The message can also be changed to anything you want in the plugin settings.</p>
<p>The main point of GASP is to eliminate the useless spam that is generated by spammers that use automated blog comment software, or spambots.</p>
<p>I installed the GASP plugin as a test on this blog a few days ago to see if it is actually better than Akismet.</p>
<h3><strong>So, is GASP better than Akismet?</strong></h3>
<p>In 3 days of using GASP I went from 1500 SPAM comments to 7!!!</p>
<p><strong>7!!!!!!!!!!</strong></p>
<p>Let's be clear, GASP does what Akismet cannot and that is eliminate automated SPAM comments completely!</p>
<p>The main point here is that while Akismet places all these automated spam comments in the SPAM folder of WordPress, forcing the admin to wade through thousands of comments in order to make sure no good ones went to SPAM, which does happen quite often, G.A.S.P. eliminates them all together!</p>
<p>So, only live humans can leave a comment that goes through because in order for it to go through the checkbox has to be ticked.</p>
<p><em><strong>PRETTY COOL!!!!!</strong> </em></p>
<p><strong>GASP is the ultimate ANTI SPAMBOT plugin!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Kudos to Andy Bailey for another great plugin!!</strong></p>
<p>By the way, I am keeping Akismet, since some spammers still manually come to blogs and enter comments, so with a combination of GASP and Akismet I will be much more SPAM free!<em><br />

The RSS directories aggregate blog feeds from around the web and list those blog posts on their sites as they are updated, since these sites get their own traffic, they are great places to promote your blogs, as I previously mentioned in my post <a href="http://getinternetmarketingstrategies.com/2008/11/blog-traffic-rss-submit-sites/">100 + RSS Submission Sites</a>. That list is very long and it's a pain to submit your blogs to these sites manually, so I came across this gem of a software that is free and submits your feed to various directories within one simple interface automatically.</p>
<p><strong><a target="_blank" href="http://getinternetmarketingstrategies.com/Allscoop-RSS-Submit-Pro.exe"><strong>Allscoop RSS submitter Pro</strong></a> </strong>(safe and clean download link, I added it here because the one on the developers site is down) is a fantastic free tool from <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.allscoop.com" target="blank">Allscoop Tools</a> that will submit your feeds to many of  these RSS directories with an easy to software. It's  light on system resources, really fast and submits to many of the best and top RSS  submission sites. All you have to do is enter your information into the  interface, your name, email, blog name, blog description, url and feed  url and then select which RSS directories you want to submit to, I always choose them all. The software then runs the submission  process. Most of the sites allow for easy submission, but those that ask for registration and login and captcha are neatly displayed in the Allscoop RSS software interface and you can register and submit right from the software and then go to the next site. I highly recommend this software, it's fantastic, easy to use and and the most effective way to submit your RSS feeds to the various  directories. <a href="http://getinternetmarketingstrategies.com/Allscoop-RSS-Submit-Pro.exe "><strong>Download the free RSS feed submitter tool </strong></a>and try it out today.</p>
<p><strong>Create a Feed For Static Websites </strong></p>
<p>By the way if you're website is static and not a blog platform like  WordPress that automatically generates a feed, you can still generate a  feed for your static sites and use RSS feed submission sites for  promotion, just go to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.html2rss.com/">HTLM2RSS</a> or <a target="_blank" href="http://www.feedforall.com/">FeedForAll</a> (both tools work great) and create feeds for static sites, and then submit them those to these RSS directories.</p>

Even in a bad economy, consumers report that Christmas shopping is a top priority.</p>
<p>It is still not too late get some gift related pages up and ranking on your sites, especially if you all ready have sites with authority. Start by doing some serious <em>gift</em> related keyword research, especially as it relates to your particular niches and then get to creating some great pages and building some links to them. Never underestimate the power of the holiday season for making money online, millions will be shopping and doing most of their shopping on the web.</p>
<p><strong>There are hundreds of keywords that can be targeted for Christmas shopping, start with:</strong></p>
<p>gift<br />
 kid's gifts<br />
 gifts for women<br />
 gift ideas<br />
 presents<br />
 Christmas<br />
 Hanukkah gifts..</p>
<p>the possibilities are endless, but if you plug those keywords in to the <a target="_blank" href="http://tools.seobook.com/keyword-tools/seobook/" target="_blank">SEOBook Free Keyword Tool</a>, you will get lots of results that will trigger more ideas. And, don't forget your own niche keywords, especially if you have a shopping, products type site.</p>
<p>Target low competition keywords that are viable for best results, this will make for faster ranking.</p>
<p>And, remember that even if you have blogs that are not product related and especially if they have authority (which can lead to fast ranking) you can and should blog about various Holiday gifts and put in those affiliate links, when those pages hit the search engines and rank for their keywords the search engine shopping traffic will come and buy buy buy!</p>
<p>Came across a <a target="_blank" href="http://www.channeladvisor.com/campaigns/0810/consumer-shopping-pr.php?optify_r=pressrelease&amp;optify_rd=consumersurvey" target="_blank">great little free report from ChannelAdvisor</a> who surveyed hundreds of US shoppers to find out their key shopping habits and created this great report that offers some really useful information that really targets what marketers and bloggers need to know about how the average consumer will shop this season, highlights include:</p>
<ul>
<li>What makes surfers click the “purchase” button </li>
<li>How consumers feel about the economy heading in to the       holidays </li>

<p>Google Instant search feature is now live for US searchers as well as for some that are logged in to a Google account in selected countries outside the US. But will be son available to everyone, and in the next few days for those in France, UK, Russia, Italian and Spain that are using Chrome v5/6, Firefox v3, Safari v5 for Mac and Internet Explorer v8 browsers. If you don't have it yet, you can try it with this mock page <a target="_blank" href="http://www.google.com/webhp?sclient=psy">http://www.google.com/webhp?sclient=psy</a>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>What is Google Instant</strong></span></p>
<p>Google Instant is an intuitive search function that predicts what you’re searching for based on the input of letters for the keywords you are typing and actively changes SERP results as you type in real time. It features an <em>auto complete technology</em> that predicts the search terms you are looking for in a drop down box, as well as in the search box and automatically changes SERPS to show relevant results.</p>
<p><strong>Example:</strong> In my search for <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>laptop</em></span></strong>, as I typed in<em> <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">la</span></strong></em>, Google thought I wanted Lakers and SERPS changed to those results, then when I added the p to make <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>lap</em></span></strong> the SERPS changed to LAPD, which is Los Angeles Police Department, it wasn't until I added the <em>t</em> to make <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>lapt</em></strong> </span>that the laptop results came up. It's actually pretty neat as the SERPS changed in real time.</p>
<p><a href="http://getinternetmarketingstrategies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Google-Instant1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3768" title="Google-Instant" src="http://getinternetmarketingstrategies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Google-Instant1.jpg" alt="Google-Instant" width="532" height="275" /></a></p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Instant is also localized and personalized (when logged in to a Google account), so if you search for anything that is region related, such as hotels or stores, and you are logged into your Google account you will get local results, which is why I got LAPD and Lakers, I live in LA.</p>
<p><strong>Interesting Results - Try entering the ABC's in to Instant</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>When you put in A - Google offers Amazon as first choice (NOT Apple)</li>
<li>B - Bank of America</li>
<li>M - Mapquest (not Microsoft)</li>
<li>C - Craigslist</li>
<li>E - eBay</li>
</ul>
<p>Interesting to see what sites Google favors just by the first letter</p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Instant Feature Accessibility</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Instant only works when searching from:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> Google Home Page</li>
<li>Search Box at the top of a Google search results page</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Instant Does Not Work On</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> Browser search boxes</li>
<li>Google Toolbar</li>
<li>iGoogle</li>
<li>Google will also automatically disable Instant when it detects the surfer has a slow internet connection</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Turning Instant On and Off</strong></p>
<p>Users can disable the Instant function in two ways, either by clicking on the the little x to the right of the search box or by turning it on and off with small “Instant is on” link to the right of the search box as circled in red in the image above. And, users can also enable and disable the feature in their personal Google account search preferences page.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Google Instant and SEO</strong></span></p>
<p>First, Google has confirmed that this is a just a search feature technology, that <strong>no SERP positions and rankings have changed</strong>,<strong> it only changes how people can search.</strong> Likely, this move on the part of Google is at least in part directly related to the fact that Yahoo and Bing's merge is finalized and this is the month that <a href="http://getinternetmarketingstrategies.com/2010/08/bing-serving-yahoo-search-results-to-finalize/" target="_blank">Bing has<span style="background-color: #ffffff;"> started to se</span>rve Yahoo search results</a>.</p>
<p><strong>The Hype Is Starting</strong>...</p>
<p>All ready the blog headlines, are starting to pour in, "Will Instant Be the Death of SEO" "Google Smashes SEO with the Launch of Instant.", etc... I guess the effects of Instant on SEO will be seen over time, but I do not believe that this is the death of SEO, it's just another level, a different playground, but remember you can't have SERPS without SEO.</p>
<p><span style="background-color: #ffff99;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff;"><strong>Considerations for Instant's Effect on SEO</strong></span><br />
 </span></p>
<p><span style="background-color: #ffffff;">1. If you are ranking for search terms, you will still show up for those with Instant. </span></p>
<p><span style="background-color: #ffffff;">2. Your sites may actually show up more in SERP results than they do now, because you can easily show up for partial search entries as people type, which means more impression possibilities for your sites. </span></p>
<p><span style="background-color: #ffffff;">3. Not everyone will be using this feature, and remember that right now it only works when searching from Google's home page, not from the browser search box where people often search for their keywords.</span></p>
<p><span style="background-color: #ffffff;">*****One good edge that Instant can provide for SEO's is as a keyword research tool, by entering your general keywords, you can get an idea of what Google will predict for searchers and use that to your advantage when targeting search terms. <br />
 </span></p>
<p><span style="background-color: #ffffff;">The more intriguing aspect of Instant is how Google users will take to it. On the one hand it's really a "neat" thing as far as technology and innovation in search goes, and it certainly is something Google can claim no "other" search engine has, but when it comes to being practical and beneficial to the surfer, I don't know. </span></p>
<p><span style="background-color: #ffffff;">The whole purpose of Google Instant is to save time and provide lighting speed searches for the web surfer, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.google.com/instant/#utm_campaign=launch&amp;utm_medium=van&amp;utm_source=instant" target="_blank">as Google explains here</a>, BUT, this is only effective when they predict correctly. When I used it it was actually distracting as I kept looking down to see what they came up with, and the drop box that shows dynamic changes as I type each letter is distracting as well and really did not speed up my search at all but, actually prolonged it. </span></p>
<p><span style="background-color: #ffff99;"><em><span style="background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>What do you guys think? Have you used Instant? Any predictions about how your sites might be affected? </strong></span></span></em><br />

This blog has been dofollow since I started it back in 2008, but these days it seems that spammers are getting smarter with their crafty comments and I have had an influx of what I call "drive by" commenters, those that only comment once to get some link juice for their keywords and mostly the "drive by's" leave useless comments.</p>
<p>Frankly, I'm tired of sitting here and trying to differentiate between the genuine comments and those others, so I found a better solution.</p>
<p>I have installed the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.michelem.org/wordpress-plugin-nofollow-free/" target="_blank">No Follow  Free plugin</a>, which allows me to set the number of comments a person must have in order to get a dofollow link. I set the limit at 8.</p>
<p>So, this means that all my regular readers who have commented more than 8 times, and there are many of you, still have and will have your dofollow links.</p>
<p>All future commenters need to comment 8 times in order for their comment link to become dofollow, and in the meantime it will stay nofollow.</p>
<p>Respective numbers of comments will be displayed next to the commenters name.</p>
<p>I love dofollow, and do not want to change it, but this blog gets a lot of comments, and I am really tired of losing precious time trying to decipher who is a real commenter and who is not, so I feel this is the best compromise for everyone!</p>
<p>The <a target="_blank" href="http://www.michelem.org/wordpress-plugin-nofollow-free/" target="_blank">No Follow  Free plugin</a> is fabulous, as it allows me to set parameters for  making comments dofollow, like number of comments someone must have in  order to get a dofollow link, parameters for registered users getting a  dofollow link, a blacklist of emails list and also a nifty area where I  can add certain words that if placed in the comment will make it  nofollow.</p>
<p><strong>Unacceptable Comments That Will Be Deleted</strong></p>
<p>As always I reserve the right to delete any comments that I feel are not adding any value to my blog and all my readers, like..<br />
 <em>"Great post" "thanks for this, keep it coming" "What a great read" "Wow, this is great, I'm subscribing right now"</em> "you write great stuff, so glad to be here"...etc etc etc</p>
<p>It is always best for you to leave a useful contribution to any blog that you read and visit, the link juice is secondary to presenting yourself as an intelligent, interested and engaged contributor in the blogosphere, believe me you will get a lot more traffic and attention this way.</p>
<p>On a daily basis I get at least 10 of these types of comments and I usually delete them, as I think most bloggers do.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div align="left" style="float: left; padding: 0px 5px 5px 0px;"><a name="fb_share" type="button_count" share_url="http://getinternetmarketingstrategies.com/2010/07/how-to-create-and-rank-inner-pages-post-mayday-update/"></a></div><div name="googleone_share_1" style="position:relative;z-index:5;float: left; margin-left: 10px;"><g:plusone size="standard" count="1" href="http://getinternetmarketingstrategies.com/2010/07/how-to-create-and-rank-inner-pages-post-mayday-update/"></g:plusone></div><p>With the recent changes in Google SERPS and the <a href="http://getinternetmarketingstrategies.com/2010/06/google-mayday-update-caffeine-and-may-june-2010-serp-changes/" target="_blank">Google Mayday update</a> mayhem of thin inner pages, ecommerce and thin affiliate pages getting slammed in rankings, I thought it was important to look at how to properly create and rank inner pages of websites and blogs.</p>
<p>Probably one of the most overlooked and potentially powerful aspects of any website or blog are the inner pages. So many times people focus on the home page in getting links and also for the display of content and navigation that the inner pages become almost an after thought in the overall site architecture - this is a big mistake!</p>
<p>Inner pages offer the most potential for bringing in tons of traffic and for dominating the SERPS for various keyword terms that people are searching for and if you are not targeting and optimizing your inner page content correctly you are really missing out on a plethora of traffic, which means you are missing out on strong streams of revenue.</p>
<p>While some ignore inner pages others have tons of them but they are not properly optimized and so they do not reap the benefits that they potentially can for the webmaster or blogger.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>More Inner Pages Ranking in SERPS = More Traffic</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>and<br />
 </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>More Traffic = Bigger Potential for Revenue</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>How To Get High Rankings for Inner Pages</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Proper KW research</strong><br />
 I know, keyword research - UGH - we eat, sleep and breath it, but again, we will not succeed without it!</p>
<p>Many people just create blog posts or static website pages without giving any thought or research into what people are searching for related to the niche of the site.</p>
<p>Search out keyword terms and phrases that people are searching for <strong><br />
 </strong></p>
<p><strong>AND</strong></p>
<p>make sure the competition for those is fairly low (this can depend on your site's overall authority)<strong>AND</strong><br />
 do this for each and every page that you post.</p>
<p><strong>otherwise</strong>...<br />
 you just have pages floating out in the Web that nobody will ever find!</p>
<p>Learn the steps in <a href="http://getinternetmarketingstrategies.com/2008/06/step-by-step-niche-and-keywords-research/" target="_blank">Step By Step Keyword Research</a>.</p>
<p><strong>2. Nauseatingly Long Posts and Pages</strong> <strong> - Competing in SERPS for Affiliate Product Pages and Ecommerce Sites</strong><br />
 It is a fact that the search engines, and especially Google loves nauseatingly long posts and written content pages, remember that the search engines are very content driven and pages that are 1000, 2000, 3000 + words long are just so attractive to them.</p>
<p>For many 300 -  500 words may<span style="background-color: #ffffff;"> seem like enough, but I say NO WAY! This is especially true for affiliate and money sites, because remember in order for those to be favorable in Google you need to add additional value to the user above and beyond just affiliate and product links that all ready exist on the merchant's site.</span></p>
<p><span style="background-color: #ffffff;">It is more important than ever to make sure that your product pages and affiliate feed pages have some added value, whether it be product descriptions, user reviews and comments, or anything related to the page.<br />
 </span></p>
<p>If you cannot conceive of writing such long pages for money sites, or you just don't have the time, then use PLR. There are some great PLR articles out there, such as the very well written niche topic <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://flamillion.com/?e=5467 " target="_blank">Flamillion PLR Packs and eBooks</a>,  then rewrite them yourself, or use the<span style="background-color: #ffffff;"> </span><span style="background-color: #ffff00;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff;"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://paydotcom.net/r/95330/genuwine4532/26095094/" target="_blank">Best Content Spinner</a>, </span><span style="background-color: #ffffff;">to easily and quickly make them unique. A </span></span><span style="background-color: #ffffff;">p</span>erfect combination for creating tons of great content pages for your money sites.</p>
<p>For product pages, such as those on e-commerce sites, or affiliate sites that use product data feeds smaller blurbs of about 250 - 400 words are really helpful, especially since Google is favoring such pages in SERPS, as we are seeing in the<span style="background-color: #ffffff;"> Mayday update.</span></p>
<p>If you can't stand writing and don't want to spin then outsource your writing, for as little as $5 you can get 500 words of original well written content that you own. Check out <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?cl=26032&amp;c=ib&amp;aff=42443" target="ejejcsingle">99 Cent Articles</a>, I've been using them and they have excellent writers at a great price.</p>
<p><strong>3. Link Building</strong> <strong> for Inner Pages</strong><br />
 Once again, many strive to rank the home page in the SERPS and so they spend all their time building and attracting links to their home page, but what about the inner pages?</p>
<p>Get links to your inner pages and get plenty of them, write content people will want to link to, and don't ignore your most important inner pages.</p>
<p>You can use this really great <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://olgag.okrulik.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank">Article Marketing Submission Software</a> to get exposure and links to your inner pages, try writing some articles and link only to your inner pages in the resource box. With 2 links in the resource box and submission to several hundred sites, you can easily get hundreds of backlinks to your inner pages with one submission.</p>
<p>Check out <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.articleranks.com/?ref=ff52cb0a54b6182c213b44995157eee2" target="_blank">Article Ranks</a>, this is a unique system for getting within content backlinks to you inner pages.</p>
<p>Use <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.uniquearticlewizard.com/amember/go.php?r=12702&amp;i=l0" target="_blank">Unique Article Wizard</a></p>
<p><strong>Trusted Domains and High Ranking of Inner Pages</strong><br />
 One of the most magical aspects of having a trusted and high ranking domain in Google is that most inner pages (with exception of highly competitive keywords) that you launch will almost instantly take the top positions in SERPS. This is basically due to the fact that Google views your site as an authority and your links base profile is already so strong that all new inner pages will piggyback off that link power.</p>
<p>This blog for example has many inner pages sitting on page 1 in Google SERPS and this is because the base link profile is rather strong and the Google trust rank is high and so I can write a page of content, post it and most of the time within a couple of days it goes to Page 1.</p>
<p>Also, if you notice many of my posts are very long, 1000 words + because I want to provide a lot of value to my readers and so this happens naturally and I truly believe that this has something to do with the ranking success of this site, not only because people have naturally wanted to link to the value here, but also because of the length of the posts.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Ranking and trusted domain = easier rank of inner pages</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;">New and Unranked Sites and Ranking of Inner Pages</span></span></strong><br />
 <span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;">When you site is new and the trust rank isn't there more work will be required to get those inner pages to rank, so write some articles, build some links, including some social media links in the proper niche categories and get the word out about your great piece of content to attract good links to get you inner page to rank and bring you traffic and the potential for revenue.</span></span><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">New and Unranked Sites = The Need for More Links to Rank Inner Pages<br />
 </span></strong></p>

<p>This has been discussed all over the web with two differing opinions -</p>
<p>1. Bloggers need to post consistently and frequently or else you have a dead blog that will fall in rankings. This basically comes from the notion that blogs are dynamic and are expected to be constantly updated, versus static sites which do not carry the same expectation.</p>
<p><strong>or</strong></p>
<p>2. A blogger should not post just to post, and quality of content always wins over the quantity of it.</p>
<p>I for one have always believed in #2, and it was proven to me with this blog.</p>
<p>As most of my faithful readers know, I do not post everyday nor even every week. I do not believe in posting for posting sakes or because I am in some race to have a thousand posts a month. I take the time to do proper research and make sure that I am providing the most value I can for my readers, which for me takes time and thought and if it means only 3 posts per month so be it and my rankings are great, many of my posts are on page 1 for various keywords.</p>
<p><strong>What About Readers?</strong></p>
<p>Now the two opinions above are usually discussed just in relation to rankings and not so much in relation to readers and visitors (especially returning ones and subscribers).</p>
<p>When it comes to readers and subscribers a solid argument can be made that adding content on a higher frequency brings that freshness factor and brings them to the blog more often. I agree with that. But I also do not think it should be forced.</p>
<p>I read several blogs that update on a daily or every other day basis, and I have to say that the quality of content is not so great and sometimes it is quite transparent that posts are being rushed and are therefore not very useful or thoughtful.</p>
<p>In general, if you have something of value to post then post it, but do not post mediocre or crappy content just for the sake of posting or being bent on meeting some deadline of 1,000 posts in one month, whether for rankings or for readers.</p>
<p>In a nutshell, for me quality always wins over quantity, if you want to establish authority in your niche then quality, useful and spectacular content should always be your first concern.</p>
<p>But of course, if you can have both, quality and quantity that's even better!!!!!!!!!</p>

<blockquote><p>Basically the question is, how to change permalink structure sitewide on WordPress blogs and still retain rankins, PR and backlinks?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>As discussed in <a href="http://getinternetmarketingstrategies.com/2008/12/website-traffic-that-converts-are-you-missing-out/" target="_blank">Website Traffic That Converts</a>, having proper permalink structures, which are effective for SEO is very important, and should be one of the first settings when setting up a new blo<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">g. </span></p>
<p><span style="background-color: #ffff99;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff;">The optimal permalink set up is to use domain/post-name, which gives you domain.com/keywords-keywords-keywords. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: #ffff99;"><strong><span style="background-color: #ffffff;">Set Up Proper Permalinks in WordPress Admin</span></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="background-color: #ffff99;"><span style="background-color: #ffffff;">Settings - Permalinks - Select Custom Structure and place this trail </span></span><em>/%postname%/</em> in the box.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Issues with Existing Blog Posts and Permalink Changes</strong></span><br />
 <span style="background-color: #ffffff;">For those of you who are playing catch up and want to change the permalink structure </span>of an existing blog that has many posts and pages, this will be more complex, and will have some considerations.</p>
<p><strong>Non Ranking Blogs</strong><br />
 For newer blogs that really don't have any rankings you still need to take care with changing permalinks. Remember that if you change the permalink structure on a blog that has several to a lot of posts then all the existing url will return a bunch of Error 404 pages, and while the sitemap will update to the new URL's and the search engines will eventually catch up, it's NEVER a good idea to have a lot of 404 pages sitting on your site, the proper way to do this is with 301 redirects.</p>
<p><strong>Ranking Blogs</strong><br />
 If those posts are ranking, have PR and backlinks, simply changing the permalinks will effectively kill those rankings, along with PR and any backlinks that point to those pages. Basically, if you just go and change the permalink structures in the WP dashboard all the existing post URL's will render 404 Error pages, and therefore will disappear from the SERPS.</p>
<p>If  you have an  existing blog with many post pages and you still want to change the permalink structure because you realize your existing one is not optimal for SEO or users BUT you still want to keep the attributes those posts may have, like PR, rankings and backlinks, then you need to change those permalinks with 301 redirects.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>301 Redirects</strong></span><br />
 Basically a 301 redirect, which is a permanent instruction telling the search engines that the page has moved to another one, tells the search engines that the page is still the same, just the URL has moved and so rankings, PR and backlinks will roll to the new URL. In fact, Google is very good at this kind of roll over, I can tell you from personal experience, that as long as the 301 Redirect is done correctly, rankings and PR will not be affected, though they might see a temporary drop, you can learn more about it at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;answer=93633" target="_blank">Google on 301 Redirects</a>.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Options for Implementing 301 Redirects in WordPress </span><br />
 </strong></p>
<p><strong>First and Foremost</strong> <br />
 ***If you have a massive blog that ranks well and does well in  search engines, then consider just leaving it as it is, I probably would  not do such mass changes on a blog that is doing fine in SERPS. <strong><br />
 </strong><br />
 Always be sure and make a backup of your database in case anything gets messed up, you can install the original version of your blog, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ilfilosofo.com/blog/wp-db-backup" target="_blank">WP Database backup</a> is a good plugin for this<strong> </strong>and should actually be used on all your blogs to backup databases regularly.<strong> </strong><strong><br />
 </strong></p>
<p><strong>Manual</strong><br />
 Manual redirects done via individual hosting accounts within the htaaccess files. If you know code this is one option, but this is not recommended for those without any knowledge of code, and can be quite cumbersome if you need to redirect a lot of pages, such as the case with site wide permalink changes.</p>
<p><strong><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.deanlee.cn/wordpress/permalinks-migration-plugin/" target="_blank">Permalinks Migration</a></strong> <br />
 This is the one plugin that automates the 301 process sitewide so <strong>all pages will be redirected</strong>. So all old permalinks will convert to new permalinks automatically, and a 301 redirection will be implemented so that rankings and PR will roll over to the new  URL's.</p>
<p><strong><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/" target="_blank">Redirection WordPress Plugin</a></strong> <br />
 This one has a lot of features, but only redirects <strong>one page at a time</strong>, so not the best option for changing permalinks site wide, but great for doing 301's on a page by page basis. This plugin is great to have around in case there are times when you want to change a page's URL structure and move it somewhere else properly.</p>
