Getting on ShoeMoney top commentators list!

ShoeMoney Top CommentatorsI recently made it to ShoeMoney’s Top Commentators List and am really happy about it πŸ˜€ The whole idea came from the Free Blog Comments thread I had started at the Digital Point Forums a couple of months ago. Many people who posted in the thread mentioned that they have the Top Commentators Plugin installed on their blog so I can use it for my advantage if I leave useful and non-spammy comments on their blogs. Also, sundaybrew of Sunday Skool mentioned in one of his tips at Digital Point to leave comments on high PR blogs like ShoeMoney and John Chow. So I started with the comments last week on ShoeMoney’s blog and am one of the top commentators on the list now πŸ™‚

On most blogs, the Top Commentators list is refreshed every month, but in the case of ShoeMoney’s Blog, I think it updates weekly as I read somewhere on his blog. I haven’t seen a drastic increase in the amount of traffic coming to my blog from ShoeMoney’s Blog, maybe because very few people give notice to the Top Commentators List, and the plugin is mostly used to reward the commentators in terms of passing some Google PageRank. All together, I got 20 referrals from the blog in the last 2 days πŸ˜›

Despite the lack of traffic and referrals, getting on ShoeMoney’s top commentators list has drastically improved my Technorati Rank and Authority. My Blog had an Authority of 19 last week when I started and after reaching ShoeMoney’s Top Commentators List, it increased to 35. The Rank is now showing 1 with a Top 100 icon Top 100 with it, although I’m now sure how this happened. The whole idea is to be consistent and leave useful comments on the blog, which are not deleted as spam by ShoeMoney πŸ˜‰ Technorati Rank

The responses at my Technorati Profile increased a lot due to ShoeMoney’s Blog getting regularly spidered by the Search Engine Bots, which is why my Blogs Authority increased by 15 by just getting on ShoeMoney’s Top Commentators List.

My next goal would be to maintain my position on ShoeMoney’s Top Commentators list in the coming days and weeks and also get on the Top Commentators Lists of other high PR Blogs. Lastly, I would like to thank ShoeMoney for such a wonderful blog and my readers also for their comments and emails πŸ™‚

ShoeMoney on Getting Rich Quick Overnight

ShoeMoneyShoeMoney recently posted a short video about the most popular question people ask him about β€œCan you really get rich quick overnight?!?!β€œ

Here’s the video

Here’s what he had to say in his video:

 

Hey good morning.

So.. getting rich over night. I get several emails all the time, how do you make money online, how do you make money with Adsense, how do you do this, I want to make money tomorrow, I don’t wanna work, I just wanna make money.

It’s so cool now, everybody wants to do it.

It IS cool, at the end of the day, you cant make money overnight.

The thing is.. in this industry, it comes and goes so fast.

So, the deal is a lot like, I don’t know if any of you guys have read the book ‘Lucky or Smart‘.. I have it, I actually listen to it on audio, but you should because it actually says that the difference between, well, the deal with you know people always say are you lucky or are you smart, because you make money online in anything.

It’s basically being smart enough to know when you’re lucky.

Because basically if you keep working at something for long enough, you WILL win. I mean you, your ship will come in. It’s just do you have the fortitude to work hard enough at that thing for a long enough period till someone notices you. I mean it’s a series of cycles and how things repeat, I mean eventually, your thing will come in again.

You see it now, like with, I mean a couple of years ago, if somebody was sitting on a transformers website, and was making no money, right now it’s probably freaking, RAINING at him! Who is that person now? Whose killing it right now have the vision to take that money and parlay it into something bigger, because that’s what it takes.

So, you can’t make money overnight, you can’t make money quick. But you know will you have what it takes to parlay that into something bigger.

Because that is what will lead to success in future.

So I don’t know where this came from this morning, I’m just tired of people emailing me, saying I want to make money overnight, what do you think about this ebook, about getting rich overnight?

Good Luck with that.

Google Supplemental Results go mainstream

Google Supplemental Results Labels trashMany Blog owners and webmasters have been continuously upset about their new website and pages ending up in the Supplemental Index. Nothing to worry about now, as Google has removed the ‘supplemental result’ labels from the search results.

Google originally introduced Supplemental Results in 2003 so they could separate unimportant pages, and pages with duplicate content from their main index. The Supplemental Results were displayed as a result to queries made by searchers if no substantial results could be fetched from the main index. The whole idea was to make the search results more relevant and not to show old pages with little or no content in the Search Results. Learn more about Google Supplemental Results at ABCSEO.

Now, Google has extensively changed the way pages are indexed and added to the main index, which is why they are making the supplemental results go mainstream. Many blog owners, webmasters and website owners have given positive feedback about Google doing this, as they can put their efforts on new things and stop worrying about the Supplemental Index Results. Other searchers have shown their criticism as they will have to visit the Supplemental Pages when doing a search which might affect the quality of the Search Results displayed.

Check the official Google Blog where they announced this, and also the article at Search Engine Journal.

SEO Jokes

I work as an SEO Manager at a company and often get all kinds of weird questions from people, clients, and even the office staff about SEO, Internet Marketing, Link Building and Search Engines. Most of them are pretty straightforward questions, which sometimes annoy me as they take up a lot of my time. Sometimes I feel irritated and angry at the kind of questions asked, but most of them are quite funny if narrated. So I’ve given them a twist and changed them to SEO Jokes. Hope you find them interesting and hilarious πŸ˜€
