Hi Bill!

Oh no, I believe this was probably genuine, I mean you heard him:

That's quite a compliment if I may say so. : )

A spider is what the search engines use to crawl over your site, my site, this site, and any other site and page on the internet. Depending on how often the content is updated/ visited, it can be crawled hundreds of times a day to practically never.

Sites like BP are a site that gets crawled practically every minute of the day.

Ha! The jokes on them then. I delete their url, email, and edit their name if it's abrasive and keep their comments for the spiders to recognize more comment while I'm otherwise preoccupied for the moment :cool:

3 way tie between that one "Think and Grow Rich", "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie, and "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. All definitely inspiring to me.

We actually got our old site up to a 97% on Hubspot's site grader in around 6 months....not too bad!

Great job!

Would be willing to trade SEO advice for industry advice with you sometime if you'd like.

Keep up the great work!

For me it does. I love my treadmill. Its relaxxing and I can zone out and think.

I find that when I eat unhealthy and do not exercise my mind is as lazy as the rest of my body. It just wants to watch movies and veg out.

By your wording there Bryan your definitely on the right track there. I use to pay $100 a month for SEO courses on another site and study up on it quite a bit. Sounds like you are definitely on your way to seeing results.

Ok so I've had my site blog a relatively short time and posted around 15 posts before having to commit a lot of time to writing my websites content that is being design this and next week. So those posts that I did have really started picking up in visitors now (although I attribute a lot of hits to spiders also). However, I have been getting quite a few of my comments that read like this example:

"I thought i’d write and let you realize your aticles is valuable for pointed out the useful truth.I really really enjoy your weblog.Effortlessly, the write-up is in real truth the perfect on this worth whilst subject. I concur along with your data and will thirstily seem forward to your arriving updates. Exactly saying thanks will not just be enough, for the extraordinary lucidity in the tips. I will promptly take hold of your rss feed to remain updated of any updates.Trustworthy do the trick and considerably good results in your own do the job and online business passion.Regardless preserve up the very good perform.Thanks a lot."

Now I usually edit comments and delete url's unless they add the rel="nofollow" in it with a hyperlink. But I get a lot of comments like these. I'm not trying to sound rude, but by their grammar I wouldn't think they would be able to comprehend my blog and hence think they are trying to drop a free backlink, which they never get. Anybody else experience this?

OK, so many of the posters on this thread have written yearly, monthly, daily, hourly, and goals for every minute. The question remains - HAVE YOU ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING? Have you gotten out of the rat race by meeting those goals? Have you made enough money to retire? Are you meeting those goals or just writing goals?


I understand what your saying. You made it pretty crystal clear. Am I writting or doing. Well as much as I'd just love instant business just add water, it doesn't quite work like that. What I have done is established my LLC, created a buyer webpage, created social marketing pages, bought ads, bought a new webcam for video blogs and added Wordpress for written blogs to drive traffic to my site, and setup all my business numbers/fax for marketing.

I suppose I could just start putting out all my signs and direct mail without the buyers list I am looking for, but I guess I kind of want to have my business in line with the business plan I set up for it. So no, I guess I have done nothing that has created any capital so far.

I listen to motivationals along with RE pods etc. Do I need the motivational to keep going? No, I don't. I know what I'm capable of in life and I really wouldn't care if anyone else thought I was a failure. I never have before. The motivationals are just a 5 hour energy shot sometimes: I can get along and accomplish the same thing without it, but I sure feel good with it.

To be honest, it really doesn't matter if some people did set goals and fail while trying to accomplish them. As long as they get back up and try again then they really haven't failed. You think aside from a couple of questions on here I've had anybody at all show me how to market or get anywhere? Nope. I've gotten my entire education through Google, articles, and podcast. I've read so many articles and books on marketing my brain feels like jelly (and yes I'm not just reading and talking I'm instituting what I've learned).

So in answer to your question no I've made no money, but I'm not just talking either.

Post: Free ad marketing for wholesalers properties and gaining buyer list prospects

So I have been working on building up my buyers list and different strategies with web related marketing for when I kick off my marketing campaigns on January 1st. I have some really great stuff in the works (just bought a really nice HD webcam for my videos).

Anyways, come around Tuesday I will be moving my buyer list marketing into second gear. This will consist of all sorts of different methods and I feel I will have some great success. I figured a great way to work with some of the wholesalers around here would be to write and promote their properties for free within my blog and multiple other platforms I use around the web.

This will be a win/win for both your company and mine for various reasons:

- Leveraging time and work on someone else
- Marketing and exposure of your properties
- Build your buyers list from my work
- It's completely free

I am doing this as an extra platform to build my buyers list up, which builds yours in the process. I will forward all interested parties right to you, or if you would like I can pre-qualify them according to your specifics, and I will forward all buyer info to add to your buyers list as well. You really have nothing to lose here and everything to gain with this. My current rate of gain at adding to my buyers list with just a few ads in one spot is about 2 new buyers a day at this time. I am confident I will get many more come Tuesday when I start my other campaigns.

If you are interested please pm me or click on my link at the bottom and write me in the description field.

Thanks :D,

Michael
