SEO, Affiliate Marketing and Domain Names

Whew!  It has been what? two months since my last update? - If you are an online marketer, you would have guessed that something is cooking whenever a PERSONAL blog has not been updated.  The past few months was one helluva roller coaster ride for me.  I have been doing some experiments here and there, creating campaigns left and right and just trying to boost my income.  Based on my goals, I have yet to achieve my ultimate goal - But then again, for every goal, there will be obstacles… LOTS OF ‘EM.

Experiments - I have been doing some experiments with pay per click advertising.  I have launched a few campaigns that made it to the green, some stayed on the line and some just ain’t there yet.   Nothing much to report, that is why, I slacked in writing/updating this blog.

Undo Theme - If you have noticed, this was my last theme before using the AzSands theme.  I have decided that I will stick to this theme for the reason that IT is plain dang SIMPLE.  I love simplicity that is why I revert it back to my original-favorite theme

Personal Website - Since my domain name is MY surname. This will serve as my personal website but still with touch of SEO, Affiliate Marketing and Domain names.  Not much to talk about S.A.D. but then again, I might hit AGAIN a gold mine and I won’t hesitate to put results on my experiments here.

More Experiments - I have a goal of $4000 this month of December, and I have been working my arse off this season.  I will be conducting another set of experiments and hopefully provide a report here on my blog.

Boring life updates - If you’re still interested in reading entries on this blog (Hi DAD!) and with no luck you didn’t find any, you can follow me on twitter.  I am posting once in a while my life’s update there.  Here is the link - jayl on twitter. Please mention my name @jayl so that I would know and will follow you back.

Sooooo, I should be working now, until my next update.  I just hope the next time - I will provide you with some meaty stuff for you to succumb.

cheers.

You got your great domain name, had a tight niche in mind and installed the Wordpress content management system platform to your web server. You also have chosen your free wordpress theme that comes with advertising links located in the footer. You then decided to delete it or atleast put a a ‘ rel=”nofollow” ‘ to it so that your link juice will not pass to that particular site that does not even related to your blog.

The ONLY problem is that the Script is Encoded in the Footer.php - What now? Here is a simple step by step on how to Decode Encrypted Wordpress Footer Script Fast.

1. Go to your Footer.php (Appearance > Editor > Footer.php)

2. Copy the Encrypted Script which should start with

“eval(gzinflate(base64_decode(’80jNyclXyFTPVUhJTc5…………… “

3. Decode this encrypted wordpress footer by opening this Decoder Script on a new window and paste the text you copied on step 3.

4. Hit the Decode Button

By hitting the decode button, you will now see a more understandable script wherein you can edit or put a no follow tag and replace it with the current footer.php text.

Now you can Decode Encrypted Wordpress Footers fast and easy by following those simple steps abov.

There are a lot of blogs that talk about their earning reports, quick tips and tutorials.  These blogposts actually motivate me as an online entrepreneur (self proclaim) and made me wonder if they are working hard or working smart?

This week, I did a lot of tasks at hand, some sort of a full-forced-get-it-done-asap work.  I set aside a large percentage of my reading and researching and focused on application of what I have learned these past few weeks.

Based on this week’s performance, I must admit that I really worked hard.  Created a list of tasks and updated all niche blogs I managed, not to mention a disappointing  50% decrease of my earnings.  I also re-organized my keywords for my campaigns and hopeful that I can launch the latter by early next week.

This got me contemplating if I am on the right path.  Am I working hard and not working smart?  A certain part of my brain tells me that in order to be successful, I must work hard, but the other part tells me that working smart should be the best way to go.

In the end really, I think these two should be combined together.  In order to have a passive income, which is really my goal, hard work should be implemented first. Automation or “autopilot” (as some gurus say) would follow soon after the real work has been done.

How about you? Are you working Hard or or Working Smart?
