How to Get 10 High-Quality Links In 30 Minutes Or Less

Don’t quote (or fight) me on this, but I strongly believe that link building makes up about 90% of your SEO success.

There is only so much on-page optimization you can do to push your site up the SERP, but the rest of it will definitely come down to the quality (mostly) and quantity of your links.

The challenge for today: find 10 quality (by “quality” I mean high PR) links from relevant sites in about 30 minutes or so.

7 secrets to good sales copy

As much as I would love to think that you are reading this sentence because you saw that the post was written by me and you went ‘ oh totally wicked  dude– I love Alex’s stuff’ I know this is not the case. 1:) because you are not a Ninja Turtle (really, does anyone speak like that?), and 2:) because the reason you are actually reading this is to do with the first secret of good sales copy.

Will You Be Forgotten?

For the last week or two, I’ve been asking myself the same question – Will I be forgotten?

I’m not talking about tomorrow, next week, or even next month. But in 10, 20, or 30 years, will I be forgotten? Will I be viewed as just an ordinary guy who did nothing great?

If you haven’t asked yourself this question yet, I really recommend you do, whether you are a webmaster, a weather man, or working the 9 to 5. Keep Read­ing →

Does Your Website Need a Root Canal?

When was the last time you were excited about going to your dentist for a root canal?

That’s precisely my sentiment about HTML code validation.

bloggers call to action - make them stand up!

The all important ‘call to action’

If you are reading this then chances are you are somehow involved in internet marketing,  and therefore have heard the term ‘call to action’ thrown around. In case you are either not a marketer, or you are one but enjoy the view from the underside of a rock then allow me to enlighten you. A call to action is simply a statement or image that gives your visitor somewhere to go. The call to action refers to the simple idea of making someone take action, whether that be signing up to your newsletter, subscribing to a feed, or clicking an affiliate link.  I agree that it is important that you have a defined call to action in place, especially on the end of each blog post for example – but more important than this, and crucial to the overall success of your CTA (call to action) is your Unique Selling Proposition or USP.
