Scribe SEO

Scribe SEO

Scribe SEO is a software that will help you focus your writing efforts, get better rankings, and potentially be exposed to new keywords and angles on your niche that you otherwise might not be aware of, thus potentially increasing your audience and client base.

With Scribe SEO the bottom line of what it does is content optimization.   If you are writing a blog post, landing page, article, or whatever, usually your goal is to get across a message, and get that message out, and more often than not, get your audience to take some sort of action.  If your articles, posts, blogs, etc. aren’t found you might as well not write them.  By optimizing your content, you’ll stand a much better chance of being indexed and ranked in the search engines, and getting in front of your target audience and getting them to take the action you desire. 

According to the Scribe SEO website, “SEO comes down to three basic things: 1. The language searchers use, 2. The way search engines view your content, and 3. The trust search engines have in your site.”

They further go on to say: “Our Scribe SEO software makes these three basic steps easier and more efficient than ever.”

Scribe SEO accomplishes this by a three step process

They accomplish this by first having a keyword research tool that helps align you with the best optimized content before you create it.  Scribe SEO shows you keyword phrases that you might have overlooked or missed, or been unaware of entirely, thus opening up your exposure to potentially interested parties and clients, and ultimately, your income – more targeted visitors and exposure = more sales and commissions.

Scribe SEO takes the second step of analyzing your content, revealing steps that you can take to tweek your content to make it more search engine friendly, based upon seo best practices.

As if that were not enough in and of itself, Scribe SEO then unleashes it’s linkbuilding and social media tools, which assist you with building backlinks from other sites, crosslinking the content on your own site, and finally assist in the identification of influential social media users whom can help you get the word out by sharing your content.

Scribe SEO is a very powerful tool, and a highly recommended one to add to the arsenal of any serious SEO or even business running their own blog looking for a leg up in the serps and a good swift kick to propel their articles up in the search engines.  Sean Jackson, the developer of Scribe SEO is a wild one, has a proven track record, and a really good guy who’s developed quite a tool.  Check out Scribe SEO here today.

Does Clickbank steal your commissions?

Does Clickbank steal your commissions?  Well, it depends on your point of view…  Clickbank and the Clickbank market place are one of the biggest, if not the biggest affiliate site for digital products online.  Now, to the question, Does Clickbank steal your commissions?   That is a judgement call and again, depends on your point of view.  In order to be paid out by Clickbank, as of right now, you have to have at least 5 transactions, and they have to be of two different payment methods, and PayPal doesn’t count as one of those.  My interpretation of this is that you have to have a Visa card and a Mastercard pay for something, and they have to be from five different cards.  If you don’t meet this minimum threashold, you dont’ get paid.  Now, for the question at hand – does clickbank steal your commissions? – I’ve supposedly made over a few hundred dollars at clickbank, and have yet to receive a commission check from them.  They have slowly dwindled away at my earnings, since I haven’t met the minimum threshold, they take charges out each month, up to $50 per month, as fees for “dormant” accounts…  So, they definately get away with not paying quite a bit in commissions.  Definately a questionable practice and seems like it’s at minimum not right, and possibly should be against the law.  In my opinion, the answer to the question of Does Clickbank steal your commissions is… you make the call…

What does it take to rank a website?

What does it take to rank a website?  Well, quite a few things actually, and most of those things involve something called incoming links.  There are on page factors of course, and the more competitive the market or niche, the more things you have to have right, but for most local markets, and quite a bit of the long tail (three or more word phrases that people use to search on) off page factors are very effective, if not the most important aspect.  SEOMOZ, one of the most respected SEO websites, when discussing what does it take to rank a site here: http://www.seomoz.org/article/search-ranking-factors four out of the top 5 factors involve external links and factors surrounding those.  My experience in what does it take to rank a website echos these sediments.  In fact, I don’t have access to some of my clients sites right now, I’m ranking them simply on the stregnth of their external linking – very distributed links, varying anchor text, all on different class c blocks, different hosts, etc.  What does it take to rank a website?  In a word, links.

Places to put your link

Places to put your link – links are the foundation of almost all internet marketing.  Without links, you can’t be found.  A link in an e-mail, a link on a web page, etc.  Links on web pages are the foundation of SEO.  If you want to get ranked, you simply MUST get places to put your link – the more the better.  Now, that being said, where exactly do you find places to put your link?  Well, forums, social media sites, and forums are often the best places to get links and places to put your link.  You can also get .gov and .edu links this way, which are very valuable links. 

I LOVE blog comment spammers, when I view the comments for this blog, I find awesome place to put your link.  I look for footprints, and then find even more.  For example, if you search for smflogo.gif which is the logo for simple machines forums, which are a popular forum software, you can literally find thousands and thousands of places to put you link.  You can also find by searching for “powered by kick apps,”  another popular forum software.  I just came across the smflogo.gif by observing and looking at the places that other people are putting their links, and one in my blog comments.  Places to put your link are invaluable, and something not to be overlooked or taken lightly.   Link often, link smart, link fast. ;)   Find the best places to put your link, and watch you site sail up the SERP’s (search engine results pages).

Pay Pal Account Locked

My Pay Pal account locked – my pay pal account was locked about 5 days ago, and is still locked.  I’ve not had a complaint, I’ve not done anything wrong, in fact, quite the contrary.  I’ve grown my business like most people in business try to do…  In fact, I did double the business this month that I did last month.  In pay pal’s eyes, I guess this is a crime.  My pay pal account was frozen about a week ago, just under.  pay pal account locked – AGAIN…  and on top of that, I”m being blackmailed for my money.  They are demanding that I upload my social security card, my drivers license, and quite a few things, or I’m out of luck and I’ve lost my money.  I believe this to be blackmail and theft, and believe they should be prosecuted.  STAY AWAY FROM PAY PAL.  DO NOT USE PAY PAL.  They seem to not be subject to the same rules and regulations as other financial institutions.  FIrst they had problems claiming to be FDIC insured, and in fact, it’s “pass through” which means it doesn’t exist like they’ve claimed all along.  I know MANY people who’ve had their money illegally stolen by pay pal, and I know many people who’ve been blackmailed or extorted, in my opinion, by them.   As pay pal account locked, if I do nothing further, my account is gone, as is my hard earned money.  If I don’t submit to their demands, I loose all of my money.  Pay pal account locked is NOT a pleasant experience, and they do nothing to make it better, and in fact aggrivate the situation.  STAY clear of Pay Pal as a payment processor.  There are PLENTLY of alternatives.  2Checkout, Merit Card in Dallas, and I’ll post more as I open a few new accounts due to my pay pal account locked.  Pay Pal account locked or frozen – do you have any experience with being extorted by Paypal or blackmailed by them to get your money?  Let us know below about pay pal account locked.

Local Search Blast, on me…

Local Search Blast – How would you like to show up in all of the online yellow page sites, 411 sites, GPS database sites, telemanics sites, OnStar, and dominate local search?

Now many of you I suppose… why on earth would you want to dominate the “New” yellow pages, online, with exponentially more visitors than the original could hope to scrape together? 

Well, I’m in the process of setting something up JUST for you, if you might be interested.  In a week or so, I’m going to publish a page where you can share this information with a few people, and for doing so, the first few folks will win a completely complimentary “Local Search Blast” from me.  A $697 value.  Keep your eyes peeled and, better yet, sign up for the e-mail list to be one of the first to find out about my latest freebie.  This will be delivered immediately.  If you are one of the fortunate winners, you will be sent a spreadsheet to fill out and return to me.  Upon it’s return, you’ll be entered into and appear on dozens and dozens of local search sites – Yelp, City Search, Online Yellow Pages, InfoUSA, etc. 

If you are the winner of my “Local Search Blast,”  make sure to have your phone staffed and answered.  The process of it going out to all of the sites can take from 4 to 8 weeks, but typically, close to immediate results are more apparant.
