Dangerous SEO – How Not To Fall Victim

And we’re back to SEO again… sorry about this. But it just so happens that I’ve been browsing some of the guest posts I had the privilege to publish in the recent months and I’ve decided to share three of them with you. As you’d have guessed it, they are about SEO. To be more particular, it’s about how easy it is to screw up your site.

I’m sure you can see why this is highly relevant to running an online business. Quite frankly, if you mess up your reputation with Google, then you have very limited possibilities when it comes to promotion on the web. I mean, there’s still paid advertising, social media and direct visits from guest posts, but for most businesses, the loss of Google rankings still equals a huge knockout blow.

What if I Took the COMPLETE How-To on Building a New Online Business Site and Published It IN ONE PLACE?

tabletWell, actually, I just did.

This concept of structured resource pages is really taking off here at newInternetOrder so I’ve decided to keep up the paste and publish another page today. This time, as you can see in the headline, it’s about building and launching a new online business site.

First or all, it focuses on the technical side of things. So no niche research, no keyword research, no advertising, no partnership building or anything like it. Just straightforward technical how-to for everyone who wants to launch a new site quickly, and then use it as a base of a new online business.

Here’s the link to the page:

Here’s an Updated List of Essential Plugins for Online Business

plugThere’s a lot going on in the WordPress plugins space. And I do mean a lot. For instance, currently there are more than 24,000 plugins available in the official directory, and this doesn’t include any paid plugins.

However, you obviously don’t need all of them at once to run a successful online business website. Probably just a handful, right?

That’s why I’ve created a new page on this blog that lists 15 essential WordPress plugins for online business. I didn’t want to list those plugins here because I’m planning to keep the list updated, so I figured that a page is likely a better idea for this.

WordPress 5 Minute Install – Simple How To

clockSomething funny I stumbled upon just recently. The guys at WMPU.org published an article on WordPress 5 minute install. The article is actually a 6-part series. Let me say this again, a friggin’ 6-part series! How can you take something called the “5 minute install” and write 6 long articles to describe it?! Ain’t nobody got time fo’ that!

Then, I realized that I actually haven’t published a tutorial on WordPress installation yet, even though it’s the most essential technical activity online business owners have to go through.

That’s why today I have something much much shorter for you. The simple how-to on the WordPress 5 minute install.

Can Blogging Be a Long-Term Asset-Building Strategy for Online Business?

asset-buildingIn short, for all of you who don’t want to read the whole thing, yes it can.

However, it’s not actually that simple. The good thing is that your blog can, indeed, become a great resource for some niche audience and make you recognizable, that’s a fact. But the bad thing is that the content on every blog is very chaotic (by definition).

Here’s what I mean, and let me use an example. If you want to get some structured info on a specific topic, you go to Barnes and Noble and get a book. You don’t get 24 monthly archive issues of a popular magazine. Even though the articles in that magazine will surely be of good quality, you know that the lack of structure will make it very difficult to treat them as a handy resource.
