Testing SEO Myths

Saturday, April 10th, 2010

Why am I starting another blog if this one isn’t regularly updated? Maybe because I believe blogs don’t need to be regularly updated. Although I am not writing often here, this blog still enjoys visitors from search engine. The reason is that I have written mostly articles that are not time-related and can be useful for the readers even years after publishing. This blog i one small but truly passive wealth generator.

I am starting SEO Myth Breaker – Testing SEO Myths because building sites, doing SEO and profiting from that is one of the things I do with my time. And because the SEO is full of myths, I decided to test and them and burst the ones that are wrong.

The blog will be interesting and useful for people who want to make money online, to people who run small business, freelancers and companies. Without traffic from search engines your business will hardly succeed. Enjoy!

February Link Love

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

Yet another month in which I saw what the quality of StumbleUpon traffic is. The visual guide How to live the life of your dreams made a lot of visits, especially on the first day it was stumbled. But most of these visitors come, read the article and just go. The social media traffic is not very useful (unless you get them on sales page, but that would be quite hard).

Ok, time for the most interesting personal finance posts from February:

wellheeled asks whether paying with credit card equals spending more money. My answer is yes, but see what others think.

Andy at Tight Fisted Miser plans to live on $10k a year. I can do it here (Bulgaria, East Europe), but what about you in your country?

Trent at The Simple Dollar shares interesting lessons he learned from his family tree.

The Silicon Valley Blogger shares ideas for dining under $10 and even under $1. We are just making dinner for 2 this evening costing $6, electricity included.

Worried about getting fired? The Rocket Finance can’t wait for this to happen.

Most financial problems are not related to real poverty. They come because people have supersized lifestyle. By David at Money Ning.

Madison at My Dollar Plan makes some money blogging and shares how.

Jim at Blueprint for Financial Prosperity calculated that a penny saved is a penny and a third earned. Good, let’s go save some money.

January Link Love – Many Recession Posts

Sunday, February 1st, 2009

Few links that deserve your attention from the past month. In December I ignored the recession, but in January there were some really good ones:

Jim at Blueprint For Financial Prosperity suggests that you should not worry for the stock market, but invest in family. And yourself, I would add.

Patrick at Cash Money Life gives one simple to follow and efficient advice – save money and the nature with reusable shopping bags. We usually do it.

Jeremy at Generation X Finance explores an interesting angle of the recession – more people learn how to cook.

In the beginning of the month The Lazy Man shared his ideas about how to be successful in the new year. Most of the suggestions look reasonable to me.

Him at Make Love, Not Debt has another interesting question – does recession equal romance? I personally would prefer romance without recession, but we can never be 100% happy, can we?

Being a DYI fan, I enjoyed Madison’s post at My Dollar Plan: 16 Ways To Do It Yourself.

David at My Two Dollars is not a consumer, but a person. How about you?

David at MoneyNing gives the secret of dealing with the financial crisis.

Here is one provocative post from Rocket Finance: he believes that Paris Hilton will create more jobs than Obama. Do you agree?

Trent at The Simple Dollar has a lot of great posts as usually. I had to pick just one, so it’s this one.

Jeremy Day at Insight Writer published an excellent post How To Create Outstanding Value.

November Link Love – No Recession Posts

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

Most of the bloggers (including me) in the last month were discussing the recession in one or another way. I am a bit tired of talking about it – with or without our talks the recession is here and we have to deal with it. So I have decided to select the best posts of November that don’t directly discuss the crisis. Here you go:

Steve Olson is not exactly a PF blogger, but his wife has a post that I want to share with you, because it really contains very useful insights – Want to Start a Small Business on the Internet? The Myths and the Reality.

October Link Love

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

I’ve not written much the last month for the reason I haven’t much interesting ideas to share. I don’t like posting just for the sake of it and regardless the loss of traffic, I prefer not to do it. With so many personal finance bloggers however, there are enough who had interesting things to say in October, so here are they selected for you. Who said that I don’t value your time?

Jim at Blueprint for Financial Prosperity has compiled a cool list of 50 Financial Skills Every Person Needs To Know.

Patrick at Cash Money Life just wrote a killer post about Applying National Security Measures to Your Personal Finances.

Jaime at Paid Twice asks an interesting question: Is The Economy Affecting Your Mentality?

Here is another interesting guide, this time from Trent at The Simple Dollar: How to Plan Ahead for Next Week’s Meals (And Save Significant Money): A Step-By-Step Guide.

There are not much entries this time. If you have published something great and it’s not here, I’d like to hear!

August Link Love

Monday, September 1st, 2008

August is the laziest month in my part of the world and it’s no surprise there have been less posts on this blog this months. But the fellow bloggers don’t sleep – or at least not as much. They have provided a lot of interesting articles. Let’s check them out:

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Going to India

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

At the time this post gets published I should be something like 10,000 km over Kazakhstan or so. I am going on two weeks work related journey to India. I will be online often, but I have decided to let few guest posts in for some of the time. So, hang around – you can expect a couple of fellows with their views about money and finance.
