From Bries’ Crib…I just found this on my dad’s desk a few minutes ago. It may explain why dad yells “Pow!” when he opens those ‘checkie’ things he likes!

Slick Make Money Blogging Software You Simply MUST Use With the swarm of new products released by online marketers every week, there’s rarely much that impresses me. You get the odd nugget of wisdom in an ebook here and there. You get the odd “wow, good on him for revealing that to everyone”… You get the odd “yeah that’s pretty useful”… But just this week I had a “Alright now THIS is something I’ve gotta take notice of!”.

A slick piece of software has now been released to help bloggers and those looking to make money online - only it’s not exactly your average “automated online business solution”… (don’t those words just sound tacky?)

It’s based on the blogging platform Wordpress, and outside allowing you to install the perfect blog complete with about 70 profit maximizing plugins, you’re own unique customized theme, and targetting your exact keywords in just a few clicks…

It also boasts the ability to help promote your website in a number of ways.

There’s the standard social bookmark submission tools, RSS Feed Submission, and even a blog network submission feature that lets you get relevant backlinks from a private network high PR blogs, which available all in the one place should be enough to get your heart racing…

But allow me to draw attention to some features that I feel are even more powerful - the ones that REALLY made me take notice.

1. You can setup a screen on your blog that lets your readers to add their own articles to their site. You know the whole “user driven content” thing that the biggest sites in the world are taking advantage of? Now YOUR blog can do the same - PLUS the readers get an incentive to upload their content to your site because THEY get a percentage of the Adsense earnings on that article! It’s a VERY powerful idea.

2. There’s a feature you can utilize where you can display videos from the videos sites that are related to your blog post content at the bottom of your posts. Every time a user clicks one of these videos, a UNIQUE page on your website is created so the reader can view the video on YOUR site. Since the feature pulls the highest rated videos, YOUR site becomes the new home of the video, and whatever viral effect it generates… YOUR site becomes the beneficiary of it!

It was features like these that made me realize this program’s creator is a switched on guy who knows his stuff. Someone who’s tools you make money from.

I’m going to post the link for you because I think tools like this don’t come along real often. This isn’t your every day clickbank software, this is something you need to take notice of, period.

Here’s the link:

I hope you’ve found the information here valuable, and don’t hesitate to leave your comments on Firepow here to share with others.

From Bries Crib…I snagged this off my mom’s desk… It looked important so I thought I would share it with you all…Shhh… Don’t tell her!

Search engine optimization is important because it improves the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines. Do you want to put your website in the high ranking? Here are some tips you have to consider:

Website Optimization = Content + Links = High Ranking

1. How Google Measures Link Popularity:

Higher link popularity scores = Higher search engine ranking

Link popularity is by far the most important factor for determining your search engine ranking. You need to know what link popularity is, why it is so important, and how Google measures your link popularity (over 50% of all search engine traffic comes from Google, and if you can get to the top of Google, you will raise to the top of the others search engines as well).

2. Articles:

Consistency is the key. It is a fact that as more and more articles are added to article directories, your article will go lower in the listings, but if you constantly and consistently submit new articles, then you will continue to reap the benefits. Making articles is a great way to build up the link popularity of your website. It gives you life-time links.

• Always close your articles off with a link to your site which is relevant to the copy of the article. Hyperlink the keyword with your url. For example:

Author Bio:

3. Control Your Words.

“Not everything that counts can be counted and not everything that can be counted counts”.

This does not apply to our situation. In the Meta Tags, you must count every word and every keyword. Use a tool like this one to count the characters from your Meta tags.”

4. Optimize the Title Tag

• Include 1-2 of your most important keyword phrases in the title tag, but don’t just list keywords.

If you just list keywords, you risk being viewed as spamming the search engines which can ultimately lead to you being blacklisted and not included at all.

• Your title tag should include your keyword phrases within a readable sentence to avoid this problem.

• Make your title appealing to humans!

Don’t forget that even if you get that top listing in the search engines, our listing still needs to say something that makes the surfer want to click your link and visit your site.

• Since the length of your title tag could cause some engines to crop it, we suggest place the keywords at the beginning of the tag when possible to decrease the risk of having them cut off.

Each page of your site should have its own title tag with its own keywords that relate to the page that it appears on.

5. Optimize the Meta Description Tag

• Give appropriate descriptions (as some search engines display this description in the search result), make it more appropriate to your site. Put only targeted keywords in description. Do not stuff the description with more keywords. Restrict the number of words in this tag to 10 to 15 words.

• Place the most important phrases at the start of the description, so, even if any search engine omits some part of the description, the important phrases will be displayed.

6. Optimize the Meta Keywords Tag

The importance of Meta Tags is debated these days. So this is an optional extra.

• Include only the keywords that appear in the body text, and no more than 5-7 keywords. Add alternate spelling of words (including typos) and synonyms of those keywords.

HOT TIP: Optimize your images as well!

• Properly label your images with relevant keywords
