How to Actually Rank For Any Keyword With a Legitimate Search Engine “Loophole”…
Posted by David Wiltshire on December, 15th 2008Everyone wants to have their site rank well in Google. And why not? Not only can Google send you a boatload of free traffic – it’s also highly targeted, and it’s one of the best ways to drive business.
The problem is, that exact same ideal is shared with thousands of your direct competitors. This creates an environment where you’ll always be fighting, kicking and scratching to maintain your traffic – along with the ever present fear that your livelihood is only one “algorithm update” away from vanishing.
And that’s if you can even get ranked for any decent keyword, to begin with…
In fact, only the largest, most-established authority sites can reliably see consistent traffic from Google. And even then, their rankings fluctuate constantly – several times a day, in some cases.
The fact is – it’s getting harder and harder for the “little guy” to get any kind of meaningful web presence [...]

10 Rules to a Better Podcast
Posted by David Wiltshire on December, 12th 2008Rule 1: Know what you are talking about!
You must come off as an expert! I mean it. There are so many podcast of two people talking without any real information, guessing or remember vaguely the details of their subject. I’ve heard b-move reviews talk about movies that neither host has seen for years and they try to remember the details of the films. I’ve wanted to scream at podcasters to a least print up a wiki-page or something. Whatever is the subject of your podcast, do some research, the more the better. Your charm and wit will only take you so far.
Rule 2: Laugh at your own stupid jokes!
Have you ever been with two people who are old friends as they reminisce? Suddenly they giggle at something that one of them said; both turn to you with a stupid dogf ace look and wondering why you aren’t laughing? Trust me, [...]

How to Get the Most Out of RSS Feeds
Posted by David Wiltshire on December, 11th 2008Feeds, feeds, everywhere, feeds! We hear so much about them, but what are they? A feed is simply a stream of content that originates from a designated place such as a web design. Think of your parents (when you were growing up) as a feed for wisdom. Or think of your favorite television show “feeding” you entertainment every week.
A feed on the Internet has a similar function, and publishers and users are infatuated with what feeds have to offer. The most popular type of feeds are called RSS feeds, or Really Simple Syndication.
An RSS feed is basically a way for you to tune into your favorite content on a daily basis. When your favorite blogger writes a new post…BOOM!…you have it right in front of you. It is best to organize all of your feeds into readers. It is a great way to fire out your news [...]

Increase Your Sales With Better Web Copywriting
Posted by David Wiltshire on December, 8th 2008Copywriting seems to be a very misunderstood term and job. Most people might confuse “copywriting” with “copyright” and it certainly does sound the same. It is not the same though. Copywriting is anything written that is used to promote something or to dissuade people. It can be used for your web design, web video, on television or in print.
Web copywriting has increased in the past few years as the popularity in search engines rises. Web copywriting is most often in regards to articles written in a specific manner. The articles are called SEO (search engine optimized) and are specifically written around certain key words.
The key words are recognized by the search engine used and then cause the article or product to be displayed in the results. An example would be the words: dog clown suits. Any articles or promotional writing that is [...]
