Sorry for the late news…

But if you did the 30 Day Challenge last year with us it’s time to jump on this years model. And a lot has changed.

Instead of just 30 days to build your business (and make $1) this year it’s going to be something like 3 months.

Why?

Well Ed says a lot of people got overwhelmed by the pace so he extended it… and is giving a lot of breaks in between “modules”… so it will be easier to keep up.

Hey if anyone is doing this years Challenge we’d love to hear what you think. Jump in and lets us know the latest from your site-building efforts.

For those who want to join in, it won’t be hard to catch up. I highly recommend if you are thinking about building your first site, this is a great way to go. As a matter of fact my daughter is going to give it a try. Maybe we can get her to tell us about her experience.

Here’s where to go to get started…

And remember, it’s all FREE. Such a deal!

The best Keyword Research tool I’ve ever used is Market Samurai. In fact it’s more than a keyword research tool, it’s a market research tool. By that I mean it gives you the tools to check monetization options and also get very specific information about your competition very quickly.
For example…
Of course you want to know [...]

October 7, 2009

Do You Need To Submit A Sitemap To Google?

It’s been common thinking for years that to get your new website indexed on Google you MUST submit an XML sitemap to Google. But much like the keywords meta tag myth, it appears this is something that is not really required.
Here’s what they say…
“Inclusion in Google’s search results is free and easy; you don’t even [...]

Q: Does Google ever use the “keywords” meta tag in its web search ranking?
