On the weekend I had an interesting experience.

I was at a social gathering for a crowd in their 20's. It was my younger brothers birthday party so I thought I would stick around and see what people in their 20's were up to these days.

While there, I met a guy and his girlfriend, and I over heard them talking about search engines and google. Naturally my interest was tweaked as I rarely get to speak to others in my city who know about google, yahoo or anything else internet for that matter.

After talking to them a bit, I mentioned that I have created high amounts of white hat, content based, websites. ie.. spam

The young fellow then explained that "he was a physicist of some sort and had I ever heard of the Bayesian Theory?" I think that he implied that his organization helps google fight against spam with the Bayesian Theory. (I'm not sure.. the party was loud and there was a lot of background noise. ) He got angry and told me that what I do is the antithesis of what he does. He hates spammers. Then he started to joke about how he doesn't need penis enhancement, or viagra or adult material etc...

I promptly explained that I don't get involved in the adult area of websites.

I held out my hand for a handshake with this young fellow as if to say, peace, we're in the industry etc.. He refused to shake my hand as if I was the devil.

This fellow was pretty angry with me and it quickly turned me off the party atmosphere.

THE POINT:
Here's a young physicist - "moralist" telling me that I'm bad for creating completely legal webpages in high volumes so as to compete with companies who have published way more of the same than myself.

He seems to be vigorously defending google and yahoo and the other search engines for their anti-spam policies.

Morally speaking, both google and yahoo are NOT on the moral high ground. They are businesses who make money from showing content. They display millions of times more content than I do.
You can find what ever you want to with regards to their regular searches, groups, discussions, videos etc.

Morally speaking, both google and yahoo have huge cess pools of garbage that make Sodom and Gomorrah look like saints.

My philosophy is, to each his own.

The point of this post is to not talk about what's right or wrong on search engines. The point of this post is that this young fellow in his youth and zeal, should get his facts straight. If you're going to talk about moral issues, make sure you understand what you're talking about.

He was defending google as some type of great business that was some how god like. My thought was that if google was owned by a church you wouldn't see porn videos, and have access to the worlds most disgusting base of knowledge!!

Just a contrast in thought.

I FEEL BAD FOR NOT WRITING EVERY DAY
I feel like I've been in this huge university course for the last several weeks. I've opened up my brains full throttle to take in as much information as I possibly can. Fortunately it's getting a little easier as I go along here.

It's kind of true what they say... it's harder to teach old dogs new tricks. While I'm not a stranger to huge learning curves, they are getting a little more difficult as I put on a few more years.

STUDY THE MUD:
The lesson I'm learning is this: To be successful, you've got to get in the trenches and analyze the mud. You have to get close to the mud and get to know the mud. See the patterns in the mud. Mud analyses.

There is really nothing exciting about mud analysis and getting to know the trenches except that it makes you an expert.

That's what I've been doing for the last several months... Digital mud analysis.

Stop and watch the traffic.
Stopping to watch what's going on around me is helping to. Today as I walked over to the coffee shop to grab a coffee there was a huge line of cars in rush hour traffic. I was trying to cross the street. I thought to my self... if I wait here long enough, there will be a break in traffic and I'll be able to successfully cross. Sure enough, after carefully watching the traffic, there was a break, and I was able to carefully walk across the street.

It's a simple and mundane point. Internet marketing is like that. As I carefully watch the traffic on the internet and see what's going on around me, I'm finding more and more opportunities.

Mud analysis and studing the traffic.

I've had an incredible week of learning about website marketing. Sometimes it's challenging to learn a whole bunch all at once, as I feel it important to implement what I've learned all at once.!!

With regards to affiliate marketing, I'm starting to see writing and using other's content (RSS) as content packaging. I compare this with the large TV networks repackaging reruns and selling advertising to go with the reruns.

Content packaging is the same. Putting valuable content together for the benefit of the reader and the advertiser. Giving both value. What a concept!!

I'm seeing high volumes of content less like spam and more like content packaging. And, these days, you need to leverage a huge volume of content in order to make some reasonable money.

If the multibillion TV and radio networks can package and repackage their content, so can website marketers.

When you look at it, aren't 30 year old reruns of gilligans islands, constant reruns of Mythbusters , kind of like TV Network content spam?

Rss Feeds, Rss Validator, Technorati.com

Blog Post Date: Jan 08 2006
I'm sitting here looking at my blog and then I notice that the rss feed at www.express-marketing.com/rss.xml is broken.

I'm looking at it and thinking to myself, what do I do now?!

I drove down to my local book store Chapters, the main HUGE bookstore here, and much to my shock and horror, there were NO books on RSS feeds. (Sometimes I wonder why I'm a few years behind !??!!)

I sat with the rss feed, studied it and finally got it to display properly. Then I went to http://validator.w3.org. and made sure that the feed validated properly.

I think I got a very basic understanding of how RSS feeds work. at least on the publishing side. I also think that I"m going to have to purchase that book on RSS over the internet and have it delivered to my office.

I was wondering why I wasn't getting my regular traffic from technorati.com etc.

RSS Feeds are fun when you know how they work etc.

I saw this article in CNN Money that Martha Stewart appealed her conviction and was denied. What was she trying to do? Get more publicity?

I am completely amazed that Martha Stewart is still in business and working for her company. The American people are very forgiving of some convicts and not of others.

It just goes to show.. get arrested, and you too could get billions of dollars worth of publicity for your business!! NOT!

I'll be interested to read the commentary about Martha Stewart, her business and her conviction for illegal stock trades 5-10 years from now.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) - A federal appeals court Friday upheld the conviction of celebrity style setter Martha Stewart for lying about a stock sale.

In 2004, Stewart was convicted on charges of conspiracy, obstruction of justice and making false statements and her former Merrill Lynch stockbroker, Peter Bacanovic, was convicted on four of five counts against him.

An appeals court upheld Stewart's conviction for lying about a stock sale.

Shares of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia have lost almost 40 percent in the last year.

The verdict on Martha A federal appeals court just upheld Martha Stewart's legal challenge to her conviction.

Superseding Indictment

Stewart served five months in prison and near six months of house arrest starting in October 2004.

The charges stemmed from Stewart's sale of almost 4,000 shares of ImClone Systems stock in late 2001, just before the shares tumbled following a negative FDA ruling about the cancer drug Erbitux, which was later approved for use against colon cancer.

I'm just in the midst of writing a multi-session mini home based business course for people who want to work at home and have their own home based internet business.

This is another value feature that I'm adding to this site. Primarily because, as I started to look at it, I felt that I could help people who wanted to start a home based business and who wanted to work from home. I've done it, i've been successful at it and I know what it takes to make a home based internet business - working out of my home work.

Feel free to have a look at SESSION 1 and let me know what you think. Any feed back would be much appreciated.

work at home article

Working at home - having your own home based internet business ultimately gives you control over your time and life.

Last night I couldn't sleep so I watched the TV series Rome for 1 hour. I hadn't watched it before, so I thought I would give it a try.

In one of the scenes, Roman soldiers, were sent out to seize the golden staff, or some such thing. There was a big to do about it from Caesar.

These well trained Roman soldiers who had been trained and disciplined, came upon a band of untrained, undisciplined people who had kidnapped Caesar's nephew. The next scene shows the Trained Roman soldiers confidently and completely wiping out everybody in the travelling party, freeing the nephew of Caesar and recovering the golden staff.

Although I was still half asleep during this show, I marvelled at how 'easily' the trained Roman soldiers finished their competition and didn't think twice about it. They knew what to do and they did it. The weak, untrained, competition didn't have a chance.

I'm seeing this more with website marketing and everything else for that matter. The people that get into the internet marketing business, become trained and disclined marketers, and get strong in the business will soon win over the weak undisciplined internet marketing competition. Those are words of comfort for people who work hard and are diligent in this website marketing business.

The trained and well disciplined ancient Roman army is a 'good example' for website marketers.

INTERNET HOME BASED BUSINESSES
I'm going to be spending the next few days writing about how Home Based internet marketers can start and run their own internet business. I'm approaching my writing for the person who is relatively knowledgable in computers, which means that you at least know how to run a word processing software, but who hasn't ever written a web page or done any programming.

It's been a few years since I learned how to write HTML (1999) and I take many things for granted. It was interesting to remember when I was first learning HTML and there weren't as many helpful resources as there are now in bookstores and on the internet.

80 Hours to learn 1 hour worth of work.
A little story about me learning HTML... I was trying to get my pages to have a certain look, (rounded corners). It literally took me 2 weeks at 40 hours per week to figure out how to write tables, develop the graphics and get the colors to match between the jpg graphics and the html tables!! These days creating these tables and graphics would take me 1 hour at the maximum. I've had many similar experiences since then.

I'll let you know as soon as I get the pages written.

I'm excited about writing about Home Based businesses as it is important for every one to be able to have the opportunity to make money online.

JUST GET STARTED
The most important part of trying a home based internet business is to get started and trying things out.

HOME BASED BUSINESSES ARE BECOMING MORE IMPORTANT
Home Based businesses are becoming more and more important in this economy. It's always good for people to have control over their finances.

I was wondering what many of the people were going to do who were laid off from General Motors and Ford Motor co for example.. These hard working folks had jobs for many years, and they had good job security until now.

Sometimes in the midst of a turbulent economy, it's a great idea to take matters in your own hands. That's where the Home Based web marketing business comes into play.

AN INTERNET BUSINESS NEEDS TOOLS TO RUN AND TO MARKET.
The problem with the internet is that there is usually so much to learn, and so many types of techniques to use to build an online business. It's not like 5-10 years ago when it was relatively simple to start a business online.

That's why I'm confident about the selection of website marketing software products for homebased businesses.

IT'S COST EFFECTIVE TO PURCHASE PRE-MADE TOOLS
The benefits of purchasing pre-made software and coaching books.
Personally, I like to build my own online tools whenever possible. There are some types of website marketing tools that are cost effective to buy because I neither have the time nor expertise to build that certain type of software.

As far as website marketing ebooks to learn from, it's important to learn from people who have been there, done that. Even the experts read online ebooks because the field of internet marketing keeps changing.

The best way to approach the home based business is to a little planning. Get a feeling of what you would like to sell, and what types of websites you would feel comfortable building and administering.

After you get a feeling of what you want to do for a business on the internet, the next thing to do is pick some tools to start off with. As with all businesses, you should expect to spend some money on buying tools of the trade. Just as in the plumbing or electrician etc trades... much of the time, the tradesmen have to buy their own tools.

WE'VE GOT THE WEBSITE MARKETING TOOLS TO HELP
That's why we're here to help out with that process. I have personally looked through hundreds of sites for tools and ebooks that will help the home based internet business owner. We are showing over 200 such products on this site. If we like the products, we'll tell you about that. If we don't like the products we'll let you know that too.

HAVE A LOOK AROUND
I encourage everybody who is looking at starting, or already starting a home based internet marketing business to have a look around on this site. We have sites categorized by vendor name, product name, and product category.

Best of luck with your home based internet marketing business.

Spam Network computer pictures.

I can understand naming your computer... I really can.. We have computers name Zaragoza, El Guapo, TerrorBeast, Joe Sacco just to name a few.

In that picture David Naylor calls it like he sees it. He's got a name tag for the one computer name "Spam Network".

I love it. That says it all. Normally spammers are quiet about what they do.. Putting a picture of your computer with a name tag like Spam Network is a pretty public admission.

I applaud David Naylor for making that bold statement.

I think they should call a race horse, "Spam Network"

2005 was a nasty year.. I didn't like 2005 at all.. It had it's good points, but as far as wear and tear on my brains, I lost too much tread from my grey matter.

I made a decision to relearn programming again and to program my sites myself. I felt that I would need to get back into the mud to really understand what's going on with websites and SEO and website marketing software etc.

Going back to 'university' at my age is not the easiest thing. I can see why they say that it's hard to teach old dogs new tricks. I'm pleased to say that I learned way more about programming than I had anticipated and am feeling more confident than ever about developing websites etc.

2006 is going to be all about using what I've learned to develop the best website that competes well in the search engines, and more importantly gives my customers better access to products and services.

The lesson I'm learning is, that if you're going to be marketing on the internet these days, you've got to be really hands on, unless you've got enough cash to hire people to do the nitty gritty work. Even still, it's only getting more and more competitive.

Long gone are the days when you could throw up a few pages and make a few bucks. From here on in, you've got to work at it as if it was a full time job.

That's all right with me. Here's wishing everybody success in 2006!

I was intrigued to read greg boser's Greg Boser's Link Contest

He's giving away $3,000 to the website who links the highest for a given keyword.

While it's not a new idea, it is interesting to think about how you would compete for keywords, since that's what we do for a living.

I might give it a shot.
