Are You Guest Posting? Are You Still Asking To Guest Post?

8 Comments

It’s been a long time since I accepted a guest post on this blog. How long? Well, the last one I accepted was in December 2011; you do the math. lol I used to have a lot of reasons why I didn’t accept guest posts on this blog and most of my other blogs; the only one I readily accepted guest posts on no longer exists; it made money, but the extra work wasn’t worth dealing with it.

I’m actually a nice guy trying to help 🙂

I never really wanted to accept guest posting unless I knew the person asking the question well. Sometimes I was the one asking someone I respected to write a guest post for me, like I did with my friend Scott Thomas about copyright laws; very illuminating, something I should have paid more attention to. 🙂

The Purpose Of Repurposing Blog Posts

4 Comments

There’s three interesting things I’m going to share regarding the topic of this article. The first is that I actually wrote an article asking this very same thing back in 2012, titled Repurposing Your Own Blog Content; Good Thing Or Bad?, and a second one giving tips on how to do it titled 24 Ways To Repurpose Your Content – My Way!. Other than those two, I addressed the topic in a few different ways; the titles are:

Right now, the two most important articles this one relates to are the first two, 500 lost articles and Google indexing issues; let me explain.

What Happened? Where Have I Been?

12 Comments

Before this post, the last time I wrote an article on this blog was back in March. Before that happened, I’d been keeping a schedule of writing an article a week to generate more traffic to the site, not necessarily to market any of my products, but because I actually enjoy talking to people who leave real comments here.

I’m back!

Throughout the years, I’ve always tried to stick to writing at least once every couple of weeks. When I started this blog, I was writing almost daily; I wrote 1,000 articles in less than 3 years back in the day; blogging was fun. Because of travel as a consultant, sometimes it was every 2 weeks. But in general terms, I kept my content up to date.

Copyright Dates And Saving Google Analytics Code After A WordPress Update

Congratulations; you’re getting a two-fer via today’s post. Let’s start by talking about written copyrights and your blog.

Back in 2010, just before the start of summer, I was contacted by a company called Digiprove. They asked if I wanted to try out a new plugin and program they had called Copyright Proof, which would add code at the bottom of your articles to let people know that you owned the copywritten material on the page.

This is explained down below

You might not believe it now, but back then this site was ranked in the top 75,000 websites in the world. I was doing SEO much differently back then, and it worked wonders; take a look at the article I wrote before this one. I used to get lots of free offers to try things out, and this was one of the few I decided to go for. The plugin added this:

I’ve Lost Over 500 Articles; Why?

10 Comments

How’s that for a blog title? Yes, it’s accurate… but slightly misleading. It was also necessary.

I’ve also lost 70 pounds since 2012!

I have deleted over 500 articles in total; just not all of them on this blog.I’ve deleted about 350 here, and about 150 on my business blog. I’m about to tell you why, because it’s something you might want to think about when it comes to your blog, especially if it’s older.
